Xiaoliu had safely delivered An Hao to her home and then bade her farewell.
As the siblings walked toward the house, An Ping said, "Sister! This time, our An Family is really finished! The little money we've managed to earn in these few years will probably all get swallowed up, and it might not even be enough to fill this bottomless pit."
"It's not that serious," An Hao replied. "At worst, we're just back to where we started."
"To think that our family has worked so hard for several years, only to be ruined by that scoundrel Qin Fen, and then this torrential rain..." Mentioning it made An Ping's chest ache.
An Hao was of course heartbroken too, but there was no remedy for heartbreak. She stopped, looked at An Ping, and said, "It's alright! Those who aim to achieve great things must endure hardships. It's impossible to succeed easily without experiencing trials and tribulations. Treat this as a test!"
