Chapter 52 Everyone says drinking leads to trouble, but Ping…

Everyone says drinking leads to trouble, but what trouble can you usually get into? Anyway, if you get drunk, just go home and lie down, sleep for a day and a night, and then wake up and drink some more.

Those who hang out with the guy with the big gold chain are all idle, lazy, and good-for-nothing types. They coax the guy with the big gold chain into coming along, hoping to get some benefits from him, eat and drink well together, and get some good cigarettes and alcohol.

Brother Liang's house was just demolished, and he received a full 300,000 yuan in compensation. With so much money in his hands, he's naturally very generous. As long as you keep him happy, you can even borrow a few hundred or a thousand yuan from him.

Moreover, if you borrow and don't repay, it's not difficult to borrow again.

But they never expected that Brother Liang, drunk, would crash into a telephone pole while riding his motorcycle.

The motorcycle was completely wrecked, and the telephone pole was cracked. That must have taken a lot of force.

Several people felt wronged, saying, "Brother Liang didn't die from drinking; he died in a motorcycle accident. If Brother Liang hadn't had a motorcycle, this wouldn't have happened."

One of them pointed at the mistress and said, "It was all her fault for encouraging Brother Liang to buy the motorcycle. If she hadn't encouraged him, he would have just fallen off a bicycle at most, not fallen like this."

The mistress cried out, "Help! Help me!"

The mistress lay on the ground, and neither the pregnant woman nor her group of cronies took her to the hospital. As the bleeding increased, it was the barbecue restaurant that finally took her to the hospital.

The medical expenses were all paid in advance by the barbecue restaurant.

Big Gold Chain is beyond saving, completely dead.

The pregnant woman threw down the stick and continued to cry while hugging the gold chain, "Old Liang, how could you leave us, mother and children, like this? Open your eyes and look at me!"

The group of people who were drinking together got an old handcart and pushed the big gold chain home. The pregnant woman also climbed onto the handcart and cried all the way.

The scattered motorcycles were ignored and picked up by scavengers; they had a lot of metal on them.

After everyone left, the barbecue restaurant owner felt a pang of sadness. A perfectly healthy person was gone just like that; those motorcycles were truly dangerous. He hired two people to clean the blood off. Thankfully, they didn't try to extort money from the restaurant; he had been incredibly worried.

He was a little too quick to relax. Just over an hour later, a group of people carrying a coffin, accompanied by music and fanfare, placed it in front of the barbecue restaurant.

A plump old woman sat beside the coffin, wailing, "My son, you died so tragically! How can I, an old woman, live to see my son die? It was all that heartless black shop that killed you! My son, I will avenge you."

A group of people started crying, and the sound could be heard halfway down the street.

The barbecue restaurant owner was both angry and amused. He tried to reason with her at first, but the old lady slapped him twice. Enraged, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed an old man next to him, saying, "You're crying in front of my shop, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

They beat him mercilessly, and the old man screamed in agony as a group of people rushed over to break up the fight.

The barbecue restaurant staff also came over to help. The barbecue restaurant owner left the old man behind and let everyone go inside, letting them wail as they pleased.

After entering the store, he made a phone call. A little while later, more than a dozen tall and strong men arrived, beat up all the men who were wailing, and dragged away the coffin lid.

The old lady and her family were terrified and chased after her, shouting, "What are you heartless bastards trying to do! My son, my son!"

The barbecue restaurant owner, hands on his hips, said, "If you dare come here again, I'll find a remote mountain forest to bury you, and you won't need to worship me anymore."

A dozen tall, strong men threw the coffin into a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the city. The old lady and her family finally caught up with it, threw themselves on the coffin and wept again. They dared not provoke the barbecue restaurant again.

The old woman cursed, "You son of a bitch who can't even give birth, you rotten thing born of a dog's mother!" After she finished cursing, she cried, "Don't let this slaughterhouse stink up my son, son, I'm taking you home."

One of the men said, "We were drinking at a hot pot restaurant earlier."

Another man said, "The hot pot restaurant owner is a woman."

The pregnant woman sobbed, "I didn't drink much at the hot pot restaurant, and the owner didn't sell me any Erguotou."

The old woman, furious, grabbed the pregnant woman's hair and started hitting her repeatedly. "You shameless slut who can't control her man! My son was killed because of you, you stubborn woman!"

The pregnant woman clutched her stomach and cried out in pain.

The others quickly pulled the old lady away, saying, "Xiuxiu is pregnant, and this is the Liang family's child. What if it's a boy? Do you still want to abort it?"

The old woman kicked the pregnant woman and said, "You'd better give birth to a son, or I'll kill you."

A group of people carried the coffin home, but they were unwilling to let it go so easily.

Xu Rao and Jiang Can didn't leave the shop either, fearing that something else might happen. Liu Shuangxi kept saying thankfully, "Luckily we didn't sell them any more alcohol! Otherwise, they would have tried to extort money from our shop! It's also fortunate that Boss Chen has connections and was able to keep things under control."

Xu Rao snorted coldly: "I may be easy to bully, but Brother Lang is not!"

The group of second-generation rich kids who were eating in the private room earlier also came downstairs and just went to join in the fun.

They had all drunk quite a bit and were sitting on the first floor drinking hangover soup. Their girlfriends were urging them, "Wait until you're sober before riding your motorcycle. Or leave the motorcycle here and take the bus home."

The girls were determined not to sit on it! If something happened, death would be the end of it all, but being disfigured was far more painful than death.

Even if they didn't try to persuade them, the rich kids wouldn't dare ride their motorcycles back like that—it's too scary! They've just become rich and are living a life where they don't have to worry about money; how could they just die like that?

After the group finished their hangover soup, the waiter brought them a fruit platter and peanuts and melon seeds, encouraging them to continue chatting. They also ordered two decks of cards to play, while gossiping about the residents who had been relocated due to demolition. "We brothers just eat, drink, and shop, nothing out of line," one of them said. "But our neighbor's son went gambling and lost all his relocation compensation money and is now heavily in debt. He doesn't even have a place to live."

Around 5 p.m., the group sobered up considerably and rode away on their motorcycles.

When a poor person suddenly becomes rich, their character becomes more apparent.

Standing up and not getting drunk means you drink little; not being tempted by beauty means you can't touch it; winning people over with virtue means you can't fight it; being indifferent to fame and fortune means you have no tricks up your sleeve.

Jiang Can's friends are all of good character. Even after they have money, they continue to work hard and strive for a better future.

The restaurant started to fill up again and was still bustling. The young people weren't scared at all; on the contrary, they were excitedly chatting about the excitement. Many people asked Liu Shuangxi if he was really dead. Some even said they saw motorcycle debris and bloodstains that hadn't been wiped clean on the road.

Xu Rao and Jiang Can waited until nine o'clock, and the Liao family didn't come to cause any more trouble, before leaving the restaurant. Xu Rao first took Jiang Can home. While riding the motorcycle, she was very careful and didn't speed, keeping a very steady speed all the way. When they arrived at Jiang Can's house, Xu Rao asked, "Can Can, did you guess something?"

Jiang Can: "I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. And I thought it was better if this kind of scumbag never came to our restaurant again. I never expected it to be his last meal."

Xu Rao chimed in with a complaint: "So what if they got a relocation compensation? They're acting all high and mighty. They'd be a different person if they had a little money."

However, since the person was dead, he only said a few words before stopping.

Shen Lang hadn't arrived home yet, so Jiang Can went to cook, with Xu Rao helping out. It was already this late, and she was sure she'd get a free meal.

Jiang Can made boiled beef and spicy chicken, and steamed rice.

There was some rice left in the pot for Shen Lang, and the two of them ate first.

Xu Rao: "Brother Lang is so lucky. His wife is beautiful, earns money, and cooks incredibly well. I want to find someone like Can Can in the future! She has to be good-looking, earn money, and cook well."

Jiang Can looked at her and smiled: "Didn't you want 18 centimeters?"

Xu Rao exclaimed, "Can Can, you've changed! Besides what I just mentioned, this is crucial! You have to be hot-tempered and skilled in bed!" She then started talking about her recent blind dates, unable to contain her frustration: "All my relatives and friends are introducing me to potential partners. It's one thing if they're after my money, but the worst part is they're all ugly. One guy even told me that after we get married, I won't have to work so hard anymore. I can stay home, take care of the kids, and enjoy a life of leisure, leaving all the restaurant work to him. He's got a death wish! Pah! He's only on blind dates and he's already trying to take over my restaurant? How dare he!"

Jiang Can thought of all the men she knew and finally said, "You know all of A Lang's friends. If you find someone you like, ask A Lang to introduce you. If you don't like any of them, don't look for anyone yet. You're rich and good-looking, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"

Xu Rao: "I'm not in a hurry. It's just that my relatives are so annoying. They keep saying I'm already 21, and if I don't get married soon, I'll become an old woman no one wants, and I'll have to marry a divorced man with kids. Humph, they just want me to get married quickly so I can follow in their footsteps and revolve around a husband and kids." As she spoke, she didn't stop eating at all, quickly picking up slices of beef and eating them. "It's so delicious! It's more fragrant than Yuanyuan's! Yuanyuan's is also delicious, but it just doesn't taste quite right."

I don't know how this beef was marinated, it's so tender and smooth!

She began to praise, "Fang Yuan may look dull, but he's got ideas in his mind. Now he's rented a small room next to the county's No. 1 Middle School and opened a branch store, with Xiao Ling selling cold dishes. I see the business is doing quite well. Kids these days are quite rich; they love to eat these kinds of things."

Speak of the devil, and he appears! Fang Yuan arrives carrying large and small bags of things. "Master!"

He wanted to come yesterday, but his mother stopped him. She said the young couple had just reunited, and he, as an apprentice, shouldn't disturb them. She told him to come today instead.

Fang Yuan is fairer and plumper than before, and has also grown quite a bit taller, now standing at 1.82 meters.

Jiang Can invited him into the house and looked at the things in his hands: "What are all these?"

Fang Yuan said, "These are dried goods from my grandma's house, and cured meat and sausages from my mom's house. These are fresh meats." Then she said with a smile, "Sister Xu, my mom also prepared some for you. I'll send them to you tomorrow."

Xu Rao: "Since we've caught up, I won't be polite."

Jiang Can looked at the cured pork and sausages and thought they smelled delicious: "With so much stuff, we don't need to buy anything for the New Year." He went into the kitchen and added another pair of chopsticks and a bowl of rice. "You two eat first, I'll stir-fry some cured pork with garlic sprouts."

Fang Yuan couldn't eat first, so she went over to help out. Jiang Can quickly cooked it, leaving some in the pot and putting the rest on a plate.

Fang Yuan had already eaten, but he could still have another meal made by his master.

Fang Yuan mainly talked about the restaurant's situation. The restaurant had hired two more people. One was Sister Peng's youngest son, Cui Boyang, who was 17 years old and had a sweet tongue and was clever. The other was a job applicant named Zhang Helei, who was 21 years old and honest and capable.

Fang Yuan said, "Xiao Cui is quick-witted and sweet-talking. She runs errands and delivers goods, and helps Xiao Ling at the branch store. Xiao Zhang helps me chop and prepare vegetables." In front of Xu Rao, he did not specify the sales figures or show her the ledger.

After dinner, Fang Yuan cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Jiang Can and Xu Rao sat on the sofa watching TV. Xu Rao hugged Hu Zi and groomed its fur. Hu Zi was very disgusted and kept baring its teeth at her. Xu Rao was no longer afraid of Hu Zi. She even touched Hu Zi's mouth and said, "You look so cute when you bar your teeth. Don't scare me. If you really bite me, I'll kidnap you and take you to my house!"

Tiger looked at Jiang Can with a pitiful expression.

Jiang Can held Hu Zi's head and said, "Be good, just bear with it a little longer."

When Xu Rao and Fang Yuan left, Jiang Can led Hu Zi to see them off and instructed Fang Yuan to take Xu Rao home.

Fang Yuan rode his tricycle to take Xu Rao, who was riding a motorcycle, home. When they arrived at the gate, Xu Rao said to Fang Yuan, "You can go back now, no need to see me off." She twisted the handlebars, and the motorcycle sped away.

When I looked back, I saw Fang Yuan pedaling his tricycle hard behind me. I was really impressed.

She braked and waited for Fang Yuan, "Do you do whatever your master tells you to do?"

Fang Yuan: "Wasn't it my master who made you wear those clothes, that scarf and hat!" I just heard Xu Rao say she'd return the clothes and hat to Jiang Can another day. I saw Xu Rao riding a motorcycle in a wool coat and leather jacket before, looking like a complete idiot.

Xu Rao: ...

Keep accelerating!

Jiang Can took Hu Zi to the park and walked around Crescent Lake twice. She felt her cheeks getting a little brighter, and when she looked up, she saw that it was snowing. She raised her hand, and snowflakes fell into her palm and melted quickly. She felt very happy and stretched out her hands to catch the snowflakes.

He turned his head and saw Shen Lang.

She smiled and said, "Ah Lang, it's snowing!"

The snowflakes fell heavier and heavier, and soon the two of them were covered in a layer of snow. Tiger was also covered in a layer of snow, but he couldn't wear it anymore. It was quite cold after being soaked in snow. The two of them and the dog headed home.

When they got downstairs, an aunt greeted them, pulled Jiang Can aside from Shen Lang, and whispered to comfort her, "Can Can, it's okay that you lost the baby. You're still young, you can have another one later."

Jiang Can: "??? Auntie, you've misunderstood. I've never been pregnant."

Auntie: "Yes, let me tell you, the Guanyin Bodhisattva at Amitabha Temple is very effective in granting children. You should go to the temple to burn incense on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

Jiang Can quickly explained, "Auntie, A Lang is studying at the Public Security University now, and I will also be taking the college entrance exam next year. My husband and I don't plan to have children during our university years! Our studies are the priority."

She has to explain, otherwise the whole neighborhood will know she was pregnant and had a miscarriage.

The aunt was shocked: "Not pregnant? Everyone said you were in a big hospital in the provincial capital trying to save your pregnancy, saying that the pregnancy was unstable."

Jiang Can was truly speechless: "...I worked in the provincial capital before."

The aunt said, "Yes, yes, you're still young, your studies are the most important thing. Having children too early isn't good for your health! Some scoundrel is spreading rumors, making it sound so detailed, I'm so worried! I was afraid you're too young to understand anything. Don't worry, I'll explain it to them tomorrow and make sure no one misunderstands anymore." Then she asked Jiang Can, "Xiao Lang went to the Police University? Will he become a policeman after graduation?"

Jiang Can: "A Lang has been rarely coming back to the community lately. He is also studying in the provincial capital and will definitely join the public security system after graduation."

Her son, Shen Lang, is now a college student!!! That's incredibly impressive!!!

The aunt praised Shen Lang's abilities and added, "The God of Wealth at Amitabha Temple is especially powerful. Don't forget to burn incense for the God of Wealth on the first day of the Lunar New Year!"

Jiang Can: "I will definitely go and burn incense for the God of Wealth. Thank you, Auntie."

After talking for a while, Jiang Can parted ways with her aunt and went upstairs with Shen Lang. She said, "Last time I ate too much, and when I went downstairs I met an older woman who insisted that I was pregnant. Just now, that aunt said that I must have gone to the provincial capital to try to save my pregnancy but failed. I'm speechless. How can she make such a connection? But I told her that we're both going to university, and if we don't have a child now, everyone will know that you're a student at the Police University tomorrow."

Shen Lang: ...

Jiang Can then asked about Shen Lang's studies.

Shen Lang put his arm around Jiang Can's shoulder and went upstairs: "These are all minor issues."

Actually, the problem was quite significant. I barely managed to avoid failing by relying solely on rote memorization and asking the teacher to highlight the key points.

He was good-looking and stole the title of school heartthrob as soon as he entered the school, causing a lot of trouble. He was also given nicknames such as "Shen the academic slacker", "Shen the illiterate", and "Scumbag".

Later, after getting into a few fights, no one dared to call him by his nickname anymore, and the troublemakers disappeared.

After Jiang Can flipped through Shen Lang's freshman textbooks, he pulled Shen Lang to do the problems together. Since they were in school, even if they weren't at the top of their class, they certainly couldn't fail any courses.

During the conversation, she also shared her experiences at the Flaming Mountains with him, saying with a smile, "Don't underestimate women; when a woman gets ruthless, she can be deadly."

Shen Lang was dizzy and lightheaded from doing the problems: "I'll be dying if I finish this page." He didn't want to work on these trivial problems at all. He looked down at her and said, "Can Can, I want to sleep."

Her peach blossom eyes were shimmering, full of deep affection and focused attention.

Jiang Can pinched his cheek. "Be good, finish this question."

Shen Lang: He hates advanced mathematics.

You have to give up something to gain something. If he wants a higher degree, he has to endure the hardship of studying.

The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year.

As soon as Jiang Can woke up, he leaned against the window and looked outside.

A pristine white expanse.

The whole world was covered in snow, as if it were draped in a crystal-clear silver coat, like a fairytale world.

It snows every year, sometimes several times a year, but the snow scenery in the past 18 years has never been as beautiful as it is now. She is in a warm and clean room, enjoying the beautiful snow scenery without worrying about her clothes not being warm enough or her shoes getting cold.

She has warm clothes to keep out the cold, fluffy big shoes to keep her feet warm, and warm and delicious meals. She can go out whenever she wants, or stay at home whenever she doesn't want to, and do whatever she wants.

A special kind of happiness.

Occasionally, a breeze would rustle through the trees, and snowflakes would flutter down from the branches, like little fairies dancing.

Shen Lang wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "How about we go ice skating in the morning and see a movie in the afternoon?"

Jiang Can: "I want to build a snowman."

Shen Lang: "Let's go."

The two wore matching down jackets in different colors, wrapped themselves in scarves and hats, put on leather gloves, and led Tiger downstairs.

Tiger isn't afraid of the cold either. He's wearing warm leather boots and a floral cotton-padded jacket, looking like a ball. He's especially cute.

Jiang Can stroked its head: "The collar is a little loose! It might let in some air, but it's okay, you still have real fur inside."

Shen Lang's lips twitched, but he forced a compliment: "It fits perfectly and looks beautiful!"

Whose dog is dressed like that?! Dogs can't possibly be cold.

Jiang Can sewed this for it last night while working overtime. It's all flashy and gaudy, but also tacky and vulgar. Of course, I can't say that.

The two people and their dog went downstairs. Tiger ran around happily as soon as he got downstairs, and Shen Lang chased after him, holding the leash. He definitely couldn't let go of the leash in the neighborhood, as many children were playing in the snow.

Tiger was sensible and wouldn't go near others. He led Shen Lang and Jiang Can towards the reeds.

In winter, when it's snowy, there's really no one here.

Shen Lang removed the leash and let Hu Zi run around. It plunged headfirst into the reeds and was instantly buried by the snow.

Jiang Can chose a particularly beautiful spot and started rolling snowballs. First, he made small balls, which gradually grew into large ones. "This is a belly! Now let's roll a head."

Then attach the head to the big snowball.

Take a carrot out of the bag for the nose, a walnut shell for the eyes, and two small sticks for the hands.

The chubby, white snowman with a nose and eyes is finished!

She continued making snowballs, forming two fist-sized snowballs. While Shen Lang was building another snowman, she threw the snowballs at his head.

Shen Lang exclaimed, "It's so cold!"

Jiang Can was overjoyed. He bent down and continued to make snowballs, throwing them at Shen Lang again. He hit him again!

Wow, that's a really good shot.

Just as she was enjoying herself, a snowball came flying at her. She dodged it, and then another snowball landed on her shoulder.

She hid behind a tree, grabbed a snowball and threw it at Shen Lang. In her excitement, she lost her footing and fell into the deep snow.

Shen Lang approached, pulled her out of the snowdrift, brushed the snow off her, and took the opportunity to slip his hands inside Jiang Can's collar.

Jiang Can shivered from the cold, "Ahhh, I'll fight you to the death!"

The end result was that Shen Lang was pushed down, she sat on his waist, and stuffed a clump of snow into his collar.

Tiger ran out of the reeds, covered in snow. Luckily, he was wearing clothes. He shook off the snow, hopped over, and landed on top of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang: ...

After playing for half the afternoon, when they got home, they found that Tiger was missing one of his shoes. Tiger hadn't noticed while he was playing, but now that his feet felt cold, he didn't want to put that foot on the ground, so he tiptoed home.

Shen Lang was speechless. Even dogs get cold sometimes.

When they got home, they felt hungry, so Jiang Can made some food first. On this day, they especially wanted to drink hot mutton soup.

Among the meat Fangyuan delivered was a leg of lamb, which was chopped in half and used to make lamb soup.

The lamb was very fresh, and there was hardly any foam when it was blanched. I took the lamb out and put it in a clay pot to stew, adding some scallions and ginger slices, but no other spices.

During this time, I cooked two bowls of brown sugar ginger egg tea, one for myself and one for Hu Zi, to warm ourselves up.

I kneaded the dough and made a few more pancakes.

When the mutton soup is almost done, add carrots, glass noodles, and cabbage. Once the glass noodles are cooked, it's ready to serve.

Each person gets a large bowl, topped with cilantro, chopped green onions, and sesame oil.

The aroma is even stronger now!

Tiger also had a basin with two large steamed buns soaking in it. He put his food on the balcony to cool down first.

Jiang Can and Shen Lang didn't wait for Hu Zi. The mutton soup was best eaten hot, which made Hu Zi's mouth water.

Jiang Can picked up a piece of meat, blew on it to cool it down, and tossed it to Hu Zi. Hu Zi caught it in one gulp, ate it slowly, and looked at Jiang Can, waiting to be fed again.

Jiang Can fed it several pieces in a row, and then gave it a piece of ginger.

Tiger howled and bit down, taking a few bites, but his expression became more and more contorted as he ate, and finally he couldn't help but spit it out.

Jiang Can: "Hahaha, this is ginger! It's a bit spicy, but it's super good for your health! You really don't know what you're talking about."

Shen Lang went to the balcony and brought back the stainless steel basin. Hu Zi then started eating.

Tiger is happy to eat.

Jiang Can drank two bowls of mutton soup and ate half a flatbread. The rest of the soup in the casserole ended up in Shen Lang's stomach.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two went out to see a movie. In this kind of weather, the ground was slippery, so they didn't drive and walked.

A path was cleared from the snow on the road, but Jiang Can loved to walk in the snow.

She was wearing leather boots that were super warm inside, so her feet wouldn't get cold or wet when she stepped in the snow.

The journey was a bit long, and she didn't want to walk anymore, so she asked Shen Lang to carry her on his back.

Once the big hood on the down jacket is on, nobody recognizes you.

The most recent showing is a romance film, and there are still quite a few seats available.

The two chose a spot in the middle facing the corridor, and after about ten minutes, they were able to enter.

It was the first time the two had watched a movie together, and Jiang Can was even entering a movie theater for the first time. When the movie started, all the lights went out, and the surroundings became quiet and dark.

At first, Jiang Can watched very attentively, but after watching half of it, he could no longer concentrate.

The male and female protagonists on the screen are kissing, and they are kissing very passionately.

It was so dark, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Shen Lang felt that he would be letting down such a wonderful environment if he didn't give her a kiss.

Let's sneak a kiss then.

It's as exciting as having an affair.

Jiang Can didn't remember much about the second half of the movie, except for a few secret kisses.

After leaving the movie theater, Jiang Can felt a pang of guilt. The male and female leads' acting was so good, and she hadn't even bothered to study it properly! She had to watch it again!

In the distance, several teenagers were waiting, holding movie tickets in their hands.

One of the short-haired girls tugged at the sleeve of the long-haired girl next to her, "Ningning, doesn't that girl look like your sister?"

The long-haired girl turned her head and looked over, her eyes wide with surprise. Jiang Can? How could this be?

Didn't she marry a good-for-nothing?

How can you wear gold earrings?

Jiang Can was wearing a long sweater and knee-high boots that looked expensive. She was affectionately linked arm with a young man who was tall and handsome. He was wearing a high-quality black wool sweater and two down jackets draped over his arms, one pink and one gray. Judging from their puffiness, the down jackets were very high-end.

His overall demeanor was luxurious yet understated, and he seemed even more outstanding than the students from the wealthiest families in their class.

Could it be that Jiang Can is secretly having an affair with another man?

In an instant, Jiang Ning thought of many things. She frowned and said, "It's my sister."

Jiang Ning walked towards Jiang Can. The closer she got, the more shocked she became. You can tell whether a person is doing well or not just by looking at their face. Jiang Can was doing very well.

Up close, you can clearly see the ring on Jiang Can's finger, which is the same style as the earrings she wears, and it's particularly dazzling.

Are they all made of gold?

And the young man's accessories—leather shoes, watch, ring…

She gasped. How did Jiang Can get involved with this person?

She rushed up to him with a look of surprise and delight. "Sis, you're here too! You haven't been home lately, I was so worried about you. Hey, where's your husband? Didn't he go to the movies with you?"

Jiang Can pinched Shen Lang's hand to stop him from making a sound, and quietly watched Jiang Ning continue acting.

Jiang Can raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, looking at Jiang Ning without saying a word.

Jiang Ning's gaze fell on Jiang Can's raised wrist. The lace sleeve on her wrist slid down, revealing her fair and delicate wrist, as well as the bracelet she was wearing.

Like the butterfly design, thick, big, and beautiful.

Her breathing became heavier; it definitely wasn't gold!

How could Jiang Can possibly wear gold bracelets, gold rings, or gold earrings! She couldn't even afford a silver bracelet. She touched the silver bracelet on her wrist; it was left to her by her grandmother before she passed away. She had a silver bracelet!

Jiang Can can only wear metal! It must be metal! Or it could be plastic!

Jiang Ning looked at Shen Lang: "Big brother, why are you watching a movie with my sister! Where's my brother-in-law!" She bit her lip, "Sister, how could you do this behind my brother-in-law's back..."

Jiang Ning's classmates also came over, and upon hearing this, they looked at Jiang Can in disbelief.

The short-haired girl's face turned red with anger: "Sister Jiang Can, you're married and still seducing men. You can't even call yourself a girl from Jiangjia Village. You've disgraced our Jiangjia Village!"

A group of people pointed and whispered about Jiang Can with great disdain.

Jiang Ning's eyes were red: "Big brother, please don't ruin my sister and brother-in-law's marriage. My sister has had a hard life and always wants to live a good life, but doing this is immoral!" She turned to look at Jiang Can and pointed the finger at him again: "Sister, how could you have an extramarital affair? You've committed a crime of hooliganism."

Jiang Can scoffed, "Jiang Ning, don't call me 'sister.' After all, what younger sister wouldn't recognize her brother-in-law?" She then took Shen Lang's arm again, "Right, honey?"
