Upon learning the news, Third Aunt was devastated. She turned on Yan Bugui and lashed out, "You old fool, why on earth would you do something like this? Don't you have a conscience? Now look at this mess—not only is all the money we earned gone, but we also have to pay a fortune in compensation!"
Yan Bugui had never imagined that simply buying ingredients nearing their expiration date would lead to such a catastrophe. The problem was that the weather had turned hot, and since the ingredients weren't always sold out on the day they were purchased, they naturally expired after a couple of days, triggering the incident.
The Yan family had to empty out their entire life savings just to barely cover the compensation. They were back to square one, as if they were living in the pre-liberation era. To make matters worse, the family restaurant was forced to shut down permanently, marking a truly massive loss.
