Jiang Ran looked towards the woman again and saw someone quickly walking over.
This person’s attire was completely different from the other eight people in front of her.
It was because of this that Jiang Ran didn’t initially consider them as a group.
She thought the person at the back was just joining the commotion.
Who would’ve thought, this wasn’t someone joining in casually, but someone coming to collect a debt.
On New Year’s Eve, collecting debts at someone else’s home, and that someone else’s home is their own home, this feeling is really too awkward.
Not only does Jiang Ran feel awkward, Pei Huai and Wang Cuilan’s expressions are also quite complex at this moment.
As juniors, Pei Huai and Jiang Ran are unable to speak up at this time.
But Wang Cuilan has no such reservations.
"I say, on New Year’s Eve, you bring people over to the house to collect debts, isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
Upon hearing Wang Cuilan’s words, the woman didn’t feel any awkwardness, instead she rubbed her hands together and showed a smile, "What’s the matter, we’re all family, no need to feel awkward."
Jiang Ran, "..."
Exactly who should be feeling awkward here?
Wang Cuilan was also speechless.
Should she feel awkward?
But regardless of her feelings, the money definitely has to be given.
The train staff, during the New Year, can’t even go home to rest, that’s already quite difficult for them.
If she doesn’t give them the money, making them rush back to the train, wouldn’t she be delaying their work?
Wang Cuilan really did have money on her, after clarifying the amount, she gave the money directly.
After receiving the money, the staff left with a smile.
Looking at the eight people in front of her, Wang Cuilan felt a headache.
What should be done?
Stopping them at the door and not letting them in was clearly impossible.
In the end, she led them into the courtyard and headed towards the living room.
In the dining room, Pei Baoshan and the others were already a bit anxious.
Especially Pei Jing, who stopped eating and kept twisting his little head to look out the window.
But because it was warm inside and so cold outside, there was a layer of fog on the window which made it difficult to clearly see the situation outside.
Until they heard footsteps gradually approaching, Pei Jing finally showed a smile.
"Daddy, Mommy, and Grandma are back!"
Just as Jiang Ran walked to the outside of the living room, she happened to hear Pei Jing’s words.
If she heard these words in the past, Jiang Ran would have smiled too.
But now, Jiang Ran couldn’t quite bring herself to smile.
Though the three of them had come back, the eight others were trailing behind.
By lifting the door curtain, they walked into the living room.
Without Jiang Ran needing to say anything, the woman had already rushed to the dining table.
"Second brother!"
Pei Baoshan was startled by the sudden appearance of the person.
Upon hearing the call of second brother, Pei Baoshan blinked, looking uncertainly at the woman in front of him, "Sister-in-law?"
Upon hearing Pei Baoshan’s words, the woman laughed even more brightly, "I knew second brother was considerate, recognizing me right away as soon as we met."
These words really...
The moment Jiang Ran heard this, her face turned dark.
Is she implying something about Wang Cuilan?
Pei Baoshan clearly understood the meaning behind the woman’s words as well, his brows immediately furrowed and his face showed displeasure.
"What do you mean by that?"
The woman didn’t expect Pei Baoshan to flip out so suddenly.
Seeing Pei Baoshan with a stiff face, the woman laughed awkwardly, "Uh, I didn’t mean anything by it, just that my mouth slipped and I accidentally said the wrong thing."
