Aunt and uncle exchanged a glance, then called the children over to take their seats.

Uncle’s family had two children, one boy and one girl. Aunt’s family also had two children, one boy and one girl.

All four young people were older than Xiao Yingchun and already earning salaries.

On her mother’s side, everyone felt that since Xiao Yingchun’s mother hadn’t given birth to a son, she was somewhat looked down upon.

This was also one of the reasons why, even though she contributed the most, they always felt it was “only right” for her to do so.

They believed since Xiao Yingchun was destined to be married off, her parents didn’t need to save much money for her.

It was better to support the relatives on the mother’s side.

Aunt clearly couldn’t wait until after dinner to speak. She took the initiative and said, “Yingchun, why don’t we clarify things first? Otherwise, I can’t feel at ease.”

Seeing her aunt’s smug expression, Xiao Yingchun suddenly found it funny. It wasn’t like she couldn’t afford to “waste” a table of dishes.

Since her aunt insisted on rushing, they might as well talk here.

So Xiao Yingchun smiled and nodded. “Alright then. Aunt, why don’t you explain the situation first?”

Ge Chunyu raised an eyebrow. “Fine.”

“When my younger sister passed away, I thought it would be a pity for their supermarket to close just like that, so I said I’d help look after the shop. Who would’ve known that after a whole year, I didn’t make a single cent and even lost money!”

“I was the one who offered to help, so I didn’t ask Yingchun to pay me a salary. But the money I lost on goods—Yingchun, you can’t expect me to cover that again.”

“Little brother, sister-in-law, Mom, Dad, don’t you all agree?”

As soon as Ge Chunyu finished speaking, everyone’s expressions turned strange as they all looked toward Xiao Yingchun.

But Xiao Yingchun kept smiling, as though nothing that was said had made her angry in the slightest.

“Aunt has finished. Now let me add something.”

“Back then, I already said I didn’t want to run that shop. There was no one to stand guard. It was Aunt who insisted she wanted to run it and would take full responsibility for profits and losses.”

“When I handed it over to Aunt, I balanced the accounts and counted all the items in the supermarket. We didn’t owe the suppliers a thing.

Aunt and I signed a contract. Whether she made money or lost money this year—that was her responsibility. Aunt signed it herself.

But a few days ago, after I came back to take over the supermarket, Aunt said she didn’t earn anything and demanded that I pay her a salary. And if I didn’t pay, she would quit.

That doesn’t make sense. Besides, I only came back because I couldn’t even get my own salary from outside. How could I possibly have money to pay Aunt a salary?

Aunt then said ‘forget it’ and left. We counted the inventory in the supermarket at the time, but didn’t go over the accounts.”

The supermarket had over twenty thousand yuan less in inventory than when Aunt took over, but I didn’t hold it against her.

But a few days ago, several new wholesalers—people I had never dealt with before—came to collect debts.

They said that during the past year, Yingchun Supermarket owed them over 120,000 yuan in goods taken on credit and never paid for. They demanded that I pay them.

I’ve never dealt with them, and I’ve never ordered anything from them. So I refused to acknowledge the debt and told them to look for whoever owed it.

So they went to Aunt. And I heard they even filed a lawsuit against her in court.

Aunt, is that right?”

Xiao Yingchun said all this with a smile—speaking neither fast nor slow, her voice steady, as if she were casually chatting.

Uncle and Aunt exchanged shocked looks—the two of them had no idea about this!
If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have come tonight.

The expressions of her grandparents also changed. They’d heard a bit about it, but only from Ge Chunyu’s version. They had never heard Yingchun’s side.

Ge Chunyu’s version completely distorted the truth, making herself seem deeply wronged.

Grandparents had even felt their eldest daughter had suffered unfairly.

But after hearing Yingchun, everyone finally realized things were not as Ge Chunyu had claimed.
