They say alcohol emboldens the timid.
I drank water.
Wu An felt even more drunk.
He held up his empty water glass: "I want to drink more."
Gu Anran poured another glass.
Wu An drank it.
But I still felt thirsty: "I'm still thirsty, I feel like I'm about to breathe fire."
Gu Anran frowned.
This is because the alcohol burned him.
She asked Aqing to keep an eye on things, then went into the small supermarket next door. There were some fruits displayed at the entrance of the supermarket; they have seasonal fruits all year round here.
Gu Anran returned from the supermarket, carrying a bottle of honey in one hand and two lemons in the other.
Soon, a glass of lemon honey water was ready. Both lemon and honey have hangover-relieving properties.
Wu An didn't answer: "Hello."
Gu Anran handed the water glass to Aqing, who then fed her.
Wu An shook his head and refused to drink.
Ah Qing was exasperated: "Sister-in-law, look at this..."
"Let me do it." Gu Anran looked around. There weren't many passersby, but the surrounding vendors were all watching. She took the water cup and sat down next to Wu An: "Behave yourself and drink your water."
Wu An is the kind of guy who knows how to take advantage of others.
He tilted his head and leaned closer.
I'm drunk.
I'm really drunk.
Gu Anran stiffened, feeling the weight pressing on her shoulders. She didn't dare to move, but simply shifted her body slightly to make Wu An lean more steadily.
The bad news: she was forcibly restrained.
Good news: Wu An is very obedient.
"Oh my!"
A commotion erupted around them.
Some people appeared calm on the surface, but their faces were flushed pink from the neck down. Before Gu Anran could speak, Aqing shouted, "What's all the commotion? It's only natural for my sister-in-law to take care of my brother!"
Aqing will provide assistance.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Have these two gotten their marriage certificate?"
"When are you having your wedding banquet? We'd love to have a drink with you."
"Then you'd better drink less. It's not good to drink like this on your wedding night, hehehe."
Most of the men at the stall, and some older women as well, joined in making harmless lewd jokes.
At this time.
After drinking the water, Wu An seemed to feel better and stopped moving around. Gu Anran had just breathed a sigh of relief when Wu An began to speak in her ear.
"I accomplished several important things today."
"We'll get the fishing boat soon, the same one as before. It originally cost over 80,000, but now we'll save at least half the money..."
"Money is secondary, the main thing is to vent my anger, you don't understand..."
"And another thing, I bought three houses in town today. One of the plots of land is particularly large, almost two thousand square meters, and it's right by the sea. If we build a big villa there, it will definitely be very comfortable for the two of us to live in."
"It will cost a lot of money to renovate, so I need to earn more money..."
"There are still many industries that can be developed in the village to make money..."
Gu Anran listened, surprised by what Wu An was busy with, but didn't have time to think about it. She just felt a tickle on her neck and a numb feeling in her heart. She wanted to move away but was also reluctant to.
Wu An's breath was extremely hot, so hot that it made her whole body tense.
Once Wu An stopped talking incessantly, Gu Anran quickly called A Qing over and asked him to help Wu An. She quickly grabbed something to cushion him before A Qing helped Wu An into the car.
Seeing Wu An's furrowed brows relax, Gu Anran said, "Aqing, drive carefully."
Aqing nodded, said goodbye to her sister-in-law, and drove away with Wu An.
halfway.
Wu An reminded him, "Aqing, go straight to the old house."
If he went home in this state, he would probably get a lecture from his brother and sister-in-law. He felt it was better to enjoy this kind of happy trouble less.
He had remembered what Gu Anran said.
Some foreseeable problems should be avoided if possible.
Aqing responded, and after a while, she belatedly asked, "Brother, are you awake?"
Wu An nodded without saying anything.
He's still drunk.
He squinted, still savoring the memory of how wonderful her scent was.
certainly.
He was truly drunk.
It's definitely not an act.
...
On the other side.
Guang Liangjun was taken to Lao Tan's office, where a heated "discussion" ensued between the two regarding debt issues.
Guang Liangjun became very agitated and shouted loudly when Lao Tan accused him of delaying the repayment deadline.
Don't misunderstand.
It's not about arguing logically.
He only screamed because he was in so much pain from the beating.
Old Tan put his feet up on the desk and picked at his ear: "Fifth Brother, use a little more force."
"I feel like my ear calluses are about to be shaken out."
"Make him shout louder."
The fifth brother responded and used it on Guang Liangjun. In this respect, he was an absolute authority. Guang Liangjun was in excruciating pain, but there was not a single visible injury on his body.
Guang Liangjun couldn't take it anymore and wailed, "Boss Tan, even if you beat me to death, I still don't have the money to pay you back!"
"You need to give me some time."
"Let me raise the money."
Old Tan held up one finger: "I'll only give you one day."
"I want to see the money by this time tomorrow."
Guang Liangjun begged for mercy: "Then why don't you just give me a quick death? Take whatever you can find that's valuable on me."
"Where am I supposed to find buyers in just one day?"
Old Tan said calmly, "Why don't you just give me the boat directly?"
Guang Liangjun was so frightened that he almost kowtowed: "Boss Tan, I bought that boat for over 100,000!"
How much money does he owe Lao Tan?
Using a boat as collateral for such a small amount of money is even more outrageous than usury.
Old Tan sneered twice and said, "I'll only give you one day. Go find whoever you want. If all else fails, ask that kid from Xiaoxi Village."
After saying that, he waved to the fifth brother.
Lao Wu dragged Guang Liangjun, who was like a dead dog, out of the building. Guang Liangjun begged for mercy all the way, but was eventually thrown down to the open space below. By sheer coincidence, he broke one of his arms.
The fifth brother accompanied Guang Liangjun to the town hospital, covering all medical expenses. He even apologized to Guang Liangjun repeatedly in front of the doctor. What could Guang Liangjun do but forgive him?
It won't cause a scene.
If he dares to cause trouble, next time it won't just be a broken arm.
When Guang Liangjun came out of the hospital, the sun was shining brightly, but he felt extremely cold and was shivering slightly. He called several potential buyers who wanted to purchase the boat, but no one wanted it.
I won't even take it if the price drops.
Finally, he found Wu An's phone number and called, but he couldn't get through several times.
God.
Someone please save me.
Guang Liangjun dragged his severed arm home. His house was a mess, not caused by anyone else, but entirely by his own actions.
Overwhelmed with grief, Guang Liangjun burst into tears.
How did our perfectly good home end up like this?
I opened the cold dishes I bought, and with a mouthful of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), a bite of peanuts, and a sip of liquor, I intended to drown my sorrows in alcohol, but instead, my sorrows only deepened.
He was drunk.
The next morning, Guang Liangjun woke up from his hangover and found himself covered in vomit. He broke out in a cold sweat, relieved that he hadn't choked to death on his vomit.
Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future.
He quickly packed up, changed into some decent clothes, and headed straight for Xiaoxi Village.
