Chapter 14. Sun Wenfeng's face darkened instantly...
Sun Wenfeng's face darkened as he instantly recalled what had happened yesterday. His family was having dinner when someone threw feces at them, and they didn't even know who did it.
A family of cultured people were smeared with excrement; it's an insult to their culture.
He was the unluckiest; a bucket of manure thrown into the yard poured over him from head to toe.
Covered in filth, he washed in the river for half the night, but still felt he wasn't clean.
The situation at home is even worse. The roof is covered in it, and it can't be washed off, so the tiles have to be replaced. In the yard, you can dig up a layer of soil and cover it with another layer of soil. The stains on the trees just won't come off no matter how much you wash them. You don't want to cut them down, so you're hoping for a heavy rain to wash away the smell. Now, the neighbors are complaining.
The commotion was so great that the neighbors all saw the sorry state of their family. In the past, they would respectfully call him Director Sun. But the mocking looks they received last night still made him tremble with anger.
The family called the police, but they couldn't find out which bastard it was.
He just hoped the news wouldn't reach the school, otherwise how could he stand on the podium and teach his students?
Seeing his expression, Jiang Can felt secretly pleased. She raised her hand to fan herself and took two steps back to create some distance. "Teacher Sun, you should change your clothes later. The smell is a bit strong." She coughed lightly. "My stall was vandalized yesterday, but luckily I had to pay a lot of money back. I'm taking a day off today."
Sun Wenfeng's old face flushed red, inwardly blaming Jiang Can for her poor communication skills. Trying to forget the incident of the excrement being thrown, he frowned, "Was it those people again? It's really too much! Why do they have to torment a young girl like you like this? It's all because I'm incompetent; otherwise, I could have protected you back then." He then glanced at Shen Lang, his expression full of disgust: "Why did you have to marry such a blond scoundrel?"
He seemed like an elder who wholeheartedly cared for Jiang Can, feeling sorry for her and angry for her.
If Jiang Can didn't know the truth, she would really be fooled by his excellent acting skills.
How could a person be so despicable and shameless?
Shen Lang touched his hair: "Even if I'm a scoundrel, I won't poop or pee in the latrine. Whatever it is, just say it quickly, don't make our front door stink."
He exaggeratedly covered his nose, clearly disgusted.
Sun Wenfeng's face flushed even redder, filled with anger and fury. "You! You've disgraced us!" He really wanted to leave immediately! But he still had something to ask.
No one knows how Jiang Can managed to get a storefront near the steel mill! Even if you rent it out, you could make two or three hundred yuan a month! If you continue to do business there, the profits would be even greater.
Once you have money, your mind will be elsewhere, so don't even think about going to school anymore.
Before he could figure out how to ask, Jiang Can said, "Teacher, don't let Shen Lang's unpleasant words fool you, he's been incredibly kind to me. He said he'd continue to support my repeat studies, and that since no school in the county would accept me, he'd let me study in the city. You must be so happy for me, right? You don't have to worry about me anymore."
Sun Wenfeng's expression froze. "Really? You want to repeat the lesson?"
Jiang Can: "Teacher must be very happy for me. Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely repeat a year and take the college entrance examination!"
Sun Wenfeng's flushed face couldn't muster a smile. His worst fears were about to come true. Jiang Can was smart and did well in his studies, but he was obsessed with reading and insisted on repeating a grade!
A poor girl from the countryside, if she fails the exam, she should just get married. Why bother repeating a year?
He tried his best to look happy for Jiang Can: "Of course I'm happy. What about your restaurant business? I heard from your teacher's wife that she suggested the steel mill give you a storefront. The storefront is in a good location, and you're a good cook. You can make a lot of money every year. You've turned misfortune into blessing and your luck has turned around."
Are they afraid that Jiang Can has gotten involved with someone?
Jiang Can sneered inwardly, not believing a single word: "I really thank you."
Shen Lang: "Your ancestors for eight generations!" He then whistled.
Jiang Can glared at him feigning glare, "What nonsense are you talking about?" She then said directly to Sun Wenfeng, "Shen Lang is still at the shop, so it won't interfere with my studies. Teachers don't need to worry about me. I definitely won't let you down, and I'll definitely get into a good university."
Sun Wenfeng: "Have you found a school? Is there anyone you can ask for help? Sigh, I don't have the ability to help you find a school."
Jiang Can: "Are there only a handful of middle schools in the whole province? I have good grades, am I not afraid of not finding a school?"
Sun Wenfeng probed a few more times, and once he was certain that Jiang Can didn't have any connections, he was completely relieved. Jiang Can really didn't have the ability to get into a school; where could she go to repeat a year? He said, "It's better to go to university. Once you're in university, you'll know how big the world is and you'll meet better friends." He looked at Shen Lang: "If you really care about Can Can, you should wait until she gets into university, then take the initiative to divorce her and let her have a better life."
A good-for-nothing like him still makes his wife go to university, isn't he afraid that she'll fly away once she gets there?
Shen Lang grabbed Sun Wenfeng by the collar and lifted him up: "You old bastard, are you trying to stop me from taking the college entrance exam? It's one thing to talk nonsense, but your mouth is so foul. Get out of here!"
After saying that, he threw it out.
Sun Wenfeng almost fell over, he was so angry he was about to explode. He was the grade director of the county's No. 1 Middle School, and the students were all terrified of him, like mice seeing a cat!
Jiang Can smiled and said, "Teacher, no matter how good a person is, they can't compare to A Lang. I just like good-looking people. I don't know what's wrong with the people at No. 1 High School, that I can fall for those shifty-eyed scoundrels."
Sun Wenfeng didn't want to stay any longer. He already knew Jiang Can hadn't hooked up with any big shots! What was the use of making some money if she couldn't find a school to repeat her studies? Sun Wenfeng picked up his things and left, but Shen Lang pulled them away, breaking the rope on the net bag: "You brought these to see me, right? The canned fruit is nice."
Sun Wenfeng's hand was red and cut from being squeezed, which made him even angrier. This short-sighted scoundrel was even eyeing such a small thing.
Little did he know that Shen Lang's next words would make him even more furious. Shen Lang said, "Can Can, this thing is unclean, and I don't even know if it's covered in poop. You shouldn't eat it. I'm taking things to do this afternoon."
Sun Wenfeng's cheek muscles trembled with anger, and his face darkened completely: "Jiang Can, you married such a piece of trash? You just stand by and watch him act so brazenly?"
Jiang Can sneered: "Teacher, please don't talk about Shen Lang. Shen Lang is a good person. He is good-looking, kind-hearted, and speaks his mind. He is not one of those hypocrites with venomous hearts."
Sun Wenfeng left in anger. Luckily, he thought Jiang Can was smart, but it turned out she was a brainless person when it came to love. It would be best if Jiang Can's business went out of business!
There's so much to make of food.
Shen Lang drove Sun Wenfeng away, and Jiang Can was in a very good mood: "He must have been soaked yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't smell so bad. Look at his face, it looks terrible. Just thinking about how filthy he looks makes me feel good."
Shen Lang: "This is nothing. He'll be just as famous at school! I need to find someone to go to the county's No. 1 High School and tell them that the news of Director Sun being doused with excrement is so big that all the teachers and students at the school need to know. Just say that Director Sun was caught interfering in someone else's family and was defiled by the other party. No, that's not sensational enough. Say that Director Sun was peeping at student Fang He while he was taking a bath, and Fang He's mother found out and angrily threw excrement at him."
Jiang Can stared in disbelief: "??? Fang Henan."
Shen Lang: "That's more exciting. Fang He is pretty good-looking, isn't he?"
Jiang Can nodded, bewildered. Fang He's grades weren't very good, but he was indeed quite good-looking.
"Come on, let's go look at houses." Shen Lang put his arm around Jiang Can's shoulder and let her ride in his car. He would take her to see houses on his bicycle. Buying a house was the most important thing right now. The owners were an elderly couple who were going abroad with their son, so they had no use for the house and were going to sell it.
The house is very large, with three bedrooms and one living room, covering 75 square meters.
The price was agreed upon at 30,000 yuan.
All the furniture inside must be kept.
Both sides were very happy.
The elderly couple felt they had gotten a good deal. They thought young people were easy to fool. Their house was worth at most 30,000 yuan, but he was in a hurry to sell, so he was willing to pay 28,000 yuan. They thought, "How much would this broken furniture be worth?"
There was no refrigerator, color TV, or washing machine; just a black and white TV that had been used for over ten years.
Not everyone knows that the houses in the enamel factory's residential compound have gone up in price! People are buying houses secretly!
Shen Lang knew he could still negotiate the price down, but he was afraid that someone might suddenly appear out of nowhere. If word got out that the old couple wanted to go abroad with their son, someone would come knocking on their door.
At that time, I definitely won't get 30,000, and even 40,000 might not be enough.
He dared not gamble.
Jiang Can didn't even look at the houses much before deciding on the one.
Upon arriving at the property center, they proceeded directly with the transfer of ownership. Jiang Can paid 30,000 yuan and received a property certificate bearing both Shen Lang's and Jiang Can's names.
This property certificate represents a bright future; it's just a thin piece of paper, but it's incredibly precious.
We're just waiting for the demolition.
At noon, Shen Lang and Jiang Can went out to eat and had a mutton hot pot. Shen Lang's palate had become quite discerning. "Sigh, I used to think this hot pot was especially delicious, but now I think it tastes just so-so. Honey, I can't live without you."
Jiang Can: "Stop being so cheeky, or the boss will kick you out if he hears you." She thought the hot pot was delicious; it was the first time she had ever eaten hot pot in a restaurant like this.
Taste is important, but atmosphere is even more important.
"Cheers!" She raised her soda bottle, clinked it with Shen Lang's, took a sip of the ice-cold soda, and then touched the property certificate in her bag, feeling even happier. How could life be so comfortable?
After dinner, the two went their separate ways. Shen Lang took Sun Wenfeng's two bags of food to the factory, while Jiang Can planned to go to the provincial capital to visit Shen Jiajia, who was studying at Henan University.
We were afraid of alerting them before, but now that we've investigated and collected all the necessary evidence, it's time to make a move and alert them.
Jiang Can was found by the police before he even reached the bus station. When he saw the two policemen standing in front of him, he felt a little guilty, since he had just thrown feces at Sun Wenfeng's house yesterday.
She will definitely deny it to the death.
As Shen Lang said, to catch a thief, you need to catch him red-handed, but right now there's no evidence.
Jiang Can remained expressionless: "Officer, what's the matter? I still need to go to the provincial capital; the next bus is leaving soon."
The police officer smiled and said, "You must be Comrade Jiang Can. You've done a good job reporting the spy. Could you come to the police station to cooperate with the follow-up investigation and collect your reward?"
Oh wow~ It really is a spy.
Jiang Can was overjoyed. Of course she had time, so she got into the police officer's Santana and went straight to the police station.
This car is so comfortable, sheltered from the wind and sun. When she becomes rich, she'll want one too.
Sitting in the police car, she was calculating the reward in her mind. Reporting the spy was a merit! What she needed most right now was a school. As long as she could repeat a year, the fact that Shen Jiajia had taken her place at university would be exposed.
