Ge Chunyu’s expression turned ugly. “Yes, I bought goods on credit—but I couldn’t pay it back because I didn’t earn anything! If I could have paid it back, I would’ve done it long ago!”

Xiao Yingchun was still calm. “Aunt, with the more than 100,000 yuan worth of goods you took, even if you only sold them at wholesale price, you would have easily paid those debts—unless you threw everything into the Weishui River!

But I don’t believe Aunt would do something like that.”

Ge Chunyu became anxious. “Don’t I deserve a salary? I guarded the shop from morning till night. At 10,000 yuan a month, that’s not too much, right?”

Xiao Yingchun smiled. “So Aunt, it’s not that you couldn’t pay the suppliers back. It’s that you think I should pay you 10,000 yuan a month to sit in a tiny convenience store of just a few dozen square meters.”

“I refused to give you a salary, so you went to the suppliers yourself and took more than a hundred thousand yuan worth of goods to ‘cover’ your year’s wages. Is that right?”

Ge Chunyu said, “So what if it is?”

Xiao Yingchun didn’t respond. She simply looked at one person, then another.

Ge Chunyu felt awkward. She looked at her parents and younger brother and sister-in-law, whose expressions were complicated, as well as her niece and nephew, who were so shocked their eyes were wide open.

But Ge Chunyu’s own husband and two children lowered their heads and pretended nothing was happening. Clearly, they had known about this, and judging from basic right and wrong, they also knew their wife/mother was in the wrong.

But the ones benefitting always play dumb—so they stayed silent.

Xiao Yingchun turned to her grandparents and her uncle and aunt. “Last night, Aunt said I should repay that debt. I felt it made no sense for me to pay it back, and Aunt got very upset.”

“So I thought it over and invited the elders here tonight to make everything clear, so no one would think I owe Aunt anything.”

“I’d like to ask Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt—do you also think I should help repay this debt?”

Grandpa and Grandma exchanged a look, then glared at Ge Chunyu with darkened expressions.

Grandma said, “You signed a contract with Yingchun. That means it’s your responsibility. Why haven’t you paid the money? Why did you let them go after Yingchun? Even if it goes to court, that’s your problem.”

Ge Chunyu’s face collapsed, and she started acting shameless, “I don’t have any money! Your two grandchildren only earn two or three thousand a month. Your grandson doesn’t have a house yet—he can’t even get a wife…”

“I heard Yingchun recently started doing big business—one deal earns her hundreds of thousands! She can pay this money, can’t she…”

Xiao Yingchun’s expression didn’t change. “I don’t know where you heard that ridiculous rumor about me ‘earning hundreds of thousands per deal.’”

“But even if I earned tens of millions in a single deal, that’s my money. It has nothing to do with this debt.”

“I have no obligation to pay for it.”

As she spoke, Xiao Yingchun pointed at her uncle. “My uncle works in a government job—he earns seven or eight thousand a month. My aunt works as middle management in a state-owned enterprise and earns over ten thousand a month. Why don’t you ask my uncle if he should give you money?”

Uncle and aunt both turned pale with fright. Aunt hurried to smile and say, “Why are you dragging us into this…? This is your own matter—talk it out among yourselves.”

In other words, she planned to stay out of it and smooth things over without taking sides.

Suddenly, Ge Chunyu let out a cold laugh.
“You keep talking about court this, court that. Your parents died—legally, your grandparents are supposed to receive a share of the inheritance too!

Your parents were in a car accident, and the court awarded nearly one million yuan in compensation!

Your grandparents didn’t get a single cent!

A whole year has passed—have you mentioned it even once?

I only took a hundred thousand–plus worth of goods. If you pay it back, that’s all there is to it. As long as everyone knows in their hearts, it’s fine. But how could you still have the nerve to keep chasing me for money? Must I spell everything out?”

Xiao Yingchun felt her heart turn cold—
So this was the reason behind Ge Chunyu’s actions!
