Chapter 48 Lin Xianxian tricked out the gold ring, and Jiang Nian regretted it very much!
Secretary Tong picked up the ring. Under the light, the gold ring emitted an attractive yellow-orange light, and everyone present was attracted by it.
Especially the women, they couldn't help but touch their bare fingers. How beautiful it would be if they wore this gold ring on their own hands!
"This ring was left by your man. Do you remember it?" Tong Shusheng looked at Dong Su'e.
Dong Su'e stared at the gold ring infatuatedly, without saying a word for a long while, her weather-beaten eyes blurred by crystal tears.
"Su'e, come on, tell me, is it you?"
Aunt Zhou became anxious when she saw that Dong Su'e was slow to speak.
Dong Su'e still didn't say anything. She nodded and shook her head for a long time. She really couldn't remember.
"Oh, I know this ring!"
At this time, a man in his thirties was very excited. He took a closer look at the ring and said, "Yes, this is the one Jiang Yongnian bought for his wife."
"Seven years ago, I accompanied him to the county to buy this gold ring. Back then, he was hardworking and diligent, and his wife was virtuous, so they soon accumulated a fortune. He lamented that his wife hadn't had a good day with him, and decided to give her a gold ring. It took us several hours to reach the only gold shop in the county. There were a row of gold rings on display, and we two grown men had no idea what to choose. After secretly observing for a while, we noticed that women couldn't take their eyes off this ring. Several women bought the same one, so we decided to buy it immediately."
Then he sighed, "Jiang Yongnian held it close to his heart like a treasure. Unfortunately, as soon as we returned, we ran into Jiang Wannian falling into the water. He took off his clothes without saying a word and asked me to keep them. I was so anxious on the shore that I completely forgot about the ring. Not long after, I heard that both of them had been swept away by the river. I joined the main group in the search. By the time I remembered the ring, it was already late at night. I turned back and went back to look for it. I turned the reeds upside down. Not only the ring, but I even checked every stone. I was almost digging three feet into the ground."
"I didn't dare tell anyone about the ring. I have a heavy family burden, with an 80-year-old father and a mentally ill wife. I was worried that I would be blackmailed if I told them about the ring."
He looked at Dong Su'e with some shame, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it. Brother Yongnian taught me the craft without reservation. In my heart, he is like my elder brother. I saw you working hard to raise the children, and I wanted to lend a hand, but my family's situation is really bad, so I had no choice!"
When he was moved, the man slapped her face and said, "I really deserve to die. I shouldn't have concealed it no matter what. I am so stupid!"
"Brother, don't be like this, I'm completely clueless!"
Dong Su'e stopped the man. She didn't blame him. Everything was fate!
Jiang Chennian was like a dried corpse with its soul sucked out. It seemed that his sister-in-law was kept in the dark and that he was tricked out by Lin Xianxian.
He regretted it so much, he had lost all his face, and his position as scorer and militia captain was in jeopardy!
"I haven't had a good night's sleep in all these years. As soon as I close my eyes, I think of Brother Jiang. I feel so guilty!"
The man angrily punched Jiang Chennian and said, "Jiang Chennian, have you lost your conscience? Brother Jiang is such a good man, and you actually dared to embezzle his things. Where do you get the nerve to do that?"
Fists rained down on Jiang Chennian, causing him to gasp in pain. Under Tong Shusheng's gaze, he didn't dare to resist at all.
When seeing Jiang Chennian being beaten, no one felt any sympathy at all, and some even felt it was enjoyable.
"Dong Su'e, take it, this is something your husband left for you!"
Dong Su'e took the gold ring from Tong Shusheng, her eyes moving and tears filling her eyes in an instant.
She vaguely remembered that a few days before her husband fell into the water, Jiang Yongnian was starving after a day's work outside. She brought the warm food to the table with heartache, and Jiang Yongnian ate with relish.
When he had eaten and drunk his fill, he looked at her with a satisfied look on his face. He would receive his wages immediately and ask her if there was anything she wanted.
Dong Su'e didn't take it seriously, she was just joking about wanting a gold ring.
I didn't expect that Yongnian took my joke seriously!
