Chapter 618: Coward! Unworthy of Being an An Family Member!
To make her comply, An Hanyi even used their crippled son to threaten her.
As long as she behaved, he didn’t mind keeping another mouth to feed; if she disagreed, he would throw both mother and son out.
Of course, Li Xueqin, being a woman, was scared and thus complied with his every demand.
Tonight, An Hanyi was still insisting on the plan to have a son.
After rolling off his wife, a loud noise outside startled An Hanyi, making him sit up immediately.
"Bang!!!"
The sound was from their front door being kicked in.
An Hanyi casually pushed Li Xueqin beside him, who lay there like a dead fish, "Get up quickly, go see what’s going on!"
He threw on some clothes, slipped into his shoes, and headed towards the interior and exterior of the house.
At the moment he opened the door, the scene in the courtyard was laid bare before him.
"Mother!!!!"
A sharp and piercing scream echoed.
Li Xueqin, who had just gotten out of bed, was nearly scared to the ground by his scream.
An Guoliang and An Jiayue, the siblings from the next room, were also awakened by the noise.
The events happening in the An Family courtyard didn’t alarm anyone else, even though An Hanyi’s shrill scream could have attracted half the village; the neighbors remained sound asleep, completely oblivious to any of his sounds.
The scene in the courtyard was fully visible to An Hanyi, especially the richly dressed old lady standing among the people in the courtyard. He was so terrified he collapsed to the ground.
Holding onto the door frame, he cried and wailed, "Mother, how did you come back? I’m an unfilial son, I haven’t burned gold and silver for you these years. Tomorrow I’ll definitely go to your grave and burn gold ingots for you. Please leave quickly, I’m scared just looking at you—"
Standing beside Madam Darwin, Allen observed the comedic scene before him, his eyes widening and mouth slightly agape, a ridiculous expression on his face.
As for An Feng, this woman who had weathered many storms, looked on indifferently at the sniveling descendants of the An Family, her disdain in her eyes could not have been more apparent.
She hadn’t even done anything yet, and this kid was already this scared, how cowardly!
Based on his words, he mistook her for his elder sister.
An Feng lowered her eyes, a mocking, disdainful laugh escaped her lips.
Upon hearing this, An Hanyi’s cries for mercy ceased instantly from fear.
Inside the house, Li Xueqin, frightened by An Hanyi’s cries, stood petrified within, not daring to go out.
Not to mention An Guoliang, already crippled and recently treated as useless at home, and the timid and cowardly An Jiayue.
They each stayed within their rooms, not daring to come out.
An Feng was aware there were others inside, but the only person she wanted to confront tonight was An Hanyi.
She stepped towards him, and Allen immediately followed.
"No! Don’t come over! Mother, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, don’t take me away, I haven’t lived enough yet!"
An Hanyi scrambled and crawled, trying to flee into the house.
Seeing this, Allen sent dense black mist surging toward him.
Just as An Hanyi was about to escape successfully, the black mist froze him in place.
At this point, not only could he not escape, but he couldn’t even move a finger, his posture pitiful and comically awkward.
He already thought the old lady had come to take his life, and this strange, terrifying turn of events only intensified his fear.
An Feng walked step by step to stand before An Hanyi, pulling out an exquisite short gun from her hand, she pressed it against his chin, exerting a bit of force to bring his face clearly into view.
She mocked, "You don’t bear much resemblance to my elder sister, coward! You don’t deserve to be a member of the An Family!"
