Jiang Can's smile suddenly froze, and a faint sadness swept through her heart.
Lin Yuqing is right. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. She married without thinking and never even had a proper relationship. Didn't she just throw away her lifelong happiness?
but……
Jiang Can pursed her lips and chuckled into the phone, "It's not that bad! Actually, I should thank Gu Mang. If he hadn't married me, I wouldn't have received this 300,000 yuan dowry!"
Her greatest happiness is for her mother to recover, and for her younger brother to be able to study hard and live a peaceful life.
"Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Jiang Can hung up the phone in a hurry. "I'm going back to my parents' home today to get the money. I'll let you know the good news when I get it!"
Jiang Can carefully put her phone back in her backpack and soon arrived at Jiangzhou's most bustling commercial street. Standing on the street, watching the hustle and bustle of people and vehicles, she suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another world.
...
"Oh, little sister's back!" Jiang Yao's shrill voice was full of sarcasm as she walked down the stairs, looking her up and down with an air of superiority.
I wonder if she's had a good time these past few days.
The thought that she was marrying a penniless wretch and a notorious hoodlum filled Jiang Yao with secret joy.
From childhood to adulthood, she seemed to be inferior to Jiang Can in everything.
Even though Jiang Can was wearing clothes from several years ago, people still complimented her on her beauty.
Jiang Can has a gentle personality, and people like to be close to her.
Even in academic performance, Jiang Can was far ahead.
Jiang Yao has always seen her as a thorn in her side. Even though Jiang Can never intended to harm her, she seized every opportunity and did everything she could to embarrass Jiang Can.
This substitute marriage relieved Jiang Yao of a major worry, but she still wasn't satisfied; she wanted to see Jiang Can even more miserable and upset.
"Little sister, how does it feel to be married?" Jiang Yao took her hand with feigned enthusiasm, her smile hiding a hint of cunning. "I heard that marriages in the older generation were all arranged by their parents, and they hadn't even met each other before entering the bridal chamber... Heh, your wedding is quite old-fashioned!"
Jiang Can chuckled twice and gently withdrew his hand.
She had no affection for this family and just wanted to take the money and leave as soon as possible, so that she would have nothing to do with the Jiang family again.
"I heard your brother-in-law has been to jail a few times for fighting?" Jiang Yao's gaze was contemptuous, a smile hidden at the corner of her mouth. "So what does he do now? Does he have a proper job? If not, how is he going to support you!"
“If your brother-in-law really can’t find a job, I can help him out! Heh, I’ll introduce him to a few good jobs, like carrying bricks on a construction site or carrying goods at the dock. Wouldn’t that be a good fit for him? Or we could have him come work at the company. There’s a security guard who needs a dog, so we can have him fill in for him!”
Jiang Can suddenly looked up at her.
Jiang Yao's heart tightened. Wasn't Jiang Can the person she remembered always submissive and never fighting back? Today, there seemed to be something different in his eyes.
Jiang Can took a deep breath, stared intently at Jiang Yao, and said clearly, "Although my husband has some flaws, that doesn't affect his ability to earn money to support the family. Even if he really needed to find a job, he wouldn't need to beg you. Those good jobs you mentioned, sister, should be reserved for your future brother-in-law!"
"you……"
Jiang Yao's expression changed. "Jiang Can, who are you talking to?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Can said calmly, "Construction site bricklaying, dockside cargo handling, working as a security guard's dog...aren't these all jobs that your sister thinks are pretty good? You're asking my husband to do these things to help us, but if I ask you to leave them for your future brother-in-law, does that mean we're not being sisterly?"
Jiang Yao was furious. She had never seen Jiang Can's mouth so sharp.
"Ha, only you would protect a man like that!"
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at her, pouted, and swayed her hips as she walked upstairs, scoffing as she went, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to today... Heh, but Dad's not home, so your trip is pointless!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a bad feeling.
