Chapter 181: An Family's Past

After listening to Mrs. An's explanation, Su Qing figured out the grievances of the An family over the years.

Old Mrs. An has three sons, and the family business has been handed over to her three sons one after another. Originally, Old Mrs. An thought that her three sons could work together to make the family business better and better.

But who would have thought that just a few years ago, the eldest and second brother had disagreements with An Zhihan's father on some issues, and it even came to the point where the brothers were about to turn against each other. It was only because of Mrs. An's intervention that the matter did not escalate further.

Originally, Mrs. An thought that the matter could just pass like that. Even if there were conflicts between brothers, as long as they tried to reconcile, they would always be as reconciled as before. After all, they were brothers and blood was thicker than water.

However, what Mrs. An never expected was that her youngest son and his family were involved in a car accident. The youngest son and his wife died on the spot. Although An Zhihan was protected by his parents in time, his organs were damaged, his legs were disabled, and the doctor even issued a critical illness notice. It can be said that An Zhihan was on the verge of death.

But even though he was out of danger later, An Zhihan's legs were completely disabled, and his damaged organs also left behind disease roots, especially his lungs, which became more serious every winter.

At that time, An Zhihan was only a teenager, but he seemed to have grown up overnight. After his body recovered a little, he secretly asked someone to investigate the car accident and found that the cause of the accident was actually related to his eldest uncle and second uncle.

An angry An Zhihan came to Mrs. An and Mr. An to seek justice for his parents.

The youngest son and his wife died in a car accident. Old Mrs. An must investigate the cause. Moreover, what she found was naturally more detailed than what An Zhihan found. The car accident happened because An Lizheng and An Likang wanted to teach their third brother a lesson. They originally just wanted to scare the couple and let them know that they still have the final say in the An family.

But who could have imagined that things would eventually get out of control and lead to the tragedy that followed. This was an outcome that neither An Lizheng nor An Likang had expected.

After finding out the result, both Grandma An and Grandpa An couldn't accept it for a moment. Their youngest son and his wife were killed, and their eldest and second sons were the culprits. If this matter was really reported to the police, both sons would probably go to jail. Having already lost their youngest son, the old couple didn't want anything to happen to their other two sons.

Therefore, when An Zhihan came over, he only said that An Lizheng and An Likang would be punished according to the family rules. At the same time, he suppressed the truth of the car accident and told outsiders that it was the driver's fatigue driving that led to the accident.

An Zhihan naturally could not accept this result, but he was too young at the time and could not do anything. In a rage, An Zhihan took his people away from the An family and came to Xiyuan County, where he lived for several years. He even never returned to Xiangcheng in these years. In fact, this year was the first time that Mrs. An saw her little grandson in several years.

Old Madam An sighed and said, "What happened back then was because my old man and I were unfair. I can't blame Zhihan for feeling resentful. So, I don't know if there is any hope of resolving this estrangement in this lifetime."

Su Qing pursed her lips slightly. To be honest, if she were put in An Zhihan's position, she would not be able to accept it. Her uncles were the culprits who killed her parents, but they did not receive the punishment they deserved. Even her grandparents were partial to them. Who could tolerate this?

Mrs. An has been fighting in the business world for so many years and has seen all kinds of people. She can see Su Qing's expression, so she said, "I know that you also look down on the actions of me and the old man in my hometown."

Su Qing said, "To be honest with you, Grandma An, your actions are really chilling."

"I know." Old Madam Su sighed, "It's just that I had already lost one son back then, and I couldn't accept that my other two sons had also gotten into trouble, so I made that decision. I know that what I did back then was not right, but it's too late to say anything now, and it's already happened. I came here today to ask you for a favor."

"What help?" Su Qing frowned slightly. Could it be that he wanted her to help persuade An Zhihan?

Not to mention that she and An Zhihan had only met twice. Strictly speaking, they were not familiar with each other and could not even be considered friends. Even if they were friends, she could not ask her friend to forgive such a thing.

If someone came to her and asked her to forgive Old Mrs. Su, she would definitely kick that person out.

"I heard that you often go into the mountains to pick some herbs and sell them to Mr. Gong of Hongjitang, is that right?" asked Mrs. An.

Su Qing nodded. She had sold ginseng to Fang Lutian before, and Fang Lutian had seen her selling medicinal herbs at Hongjitang, so it was not surprising that Mrs. An knew these things.

Old Madam An continued, "Speaking of which, our An family was originally in Xiyuan County, but later moved to Xiangcheng. Mr. Gong is my cousin, and we had a very good relationship before. However, my old man did something wrong, which caused my cousin to be involved in a troublesome matter and suffer a lot because of it. From then on, the An family and my cousin had no contact anymore, and my cousin hated the An family so much that he refused to touch anything related to the An family."

Hearing what Mrs. An said, Su Qing thought of the last time when Mr. Gong's apprentice pleaded for An Zhihan, so she asked, "Grandma An, you don't want me to help persuade Mr. Gong to help An Zhihan with his illness, do you?"

"Yes, that's what I want to ask you." Old Madam An said hurriedly, "Su Qing, you are a smart child. You can understand the meaning of the music. To be honest, I really have no other choice but to come to you for help. I don't ask you to do anything. I just hope you can find a chance to talk to Old Master Gong and persuade him to see Zhihan. Although Zhihan is a descendant of the An family, he is the kindest of all the An family members. I don't want his illness to be delayed because of the An family."

Su Qing looked at Old Lady An and said, "Grandma An, Old Master Gong is your cousin. You can't persuade him, so I'm afraid it will be in vain if I try to persuade him."

"No matter what the result is, I won't blame you." Old Mrs. An said hurriedly, "I just hope that Zhihan's illness can be cured."

"Okay, then I'll try it." Su Qing nodded.

Seeing Su Qing agreed, Mrs. An was delighted: "Su Qing, thank you so much."

Su Qing smiled and said, "I'm just trying it out."

Su Qing did not hold out hope. After all, even when Master Gong's disciple begged for mercy last time, Master Gong did not agree. She was afraid that even if she said anything, it would be in vain.
