The drinking lasted until Xushi, when Bai Yucheng stood in front of the Jinyan Building and watched An Huai and his party leave, then turned around and headed home smelling of alcohol.
After burning the incense, Bai Yucheng, who was walking slightly unsteadily, came to a small house and stopped.
Bai Yucheng stood in front of the house door and took a few deep breaths, then banged the door hard.
Bai Yucheng knocked on the door very quickly and loudly. The street was already quiet after dark, so the sound seemed unusually abrupt.
"Coming, coming..."
After more than ten shots in a row, a woman's voice answered the door.
After a sound of the door latch, Chan'er opened the door and appeared in front of Bai Yucheng.
"Husband, you are back..."
After coming to Ganquan, Chan'er always called her husband at home.
Bai Yucheng was very dissatisfied. His first sentence was to ask: "What's going on? Why did it take so long to open the door?"
Seeing that Bai Yucheng's face was red and smelling of alcohol, Chan'er hurriedly went out to help Bai Yucheng and explained apologetically: "Husband, don't be surprised. Chan'er was talking to her cousin in her room just now and didn't hear her for a while, so she ate
some."
Bai Yucheng was very unhappy: "You two are together every day, haven't you talked enough from morning to night?"
Chan'er didn't answer the call, but silently helped Bai Yucheng go inside.
After arriving in Ganquan County, Bai Yucheng and Chan'er have been living in Qu Ran'er's house. Qu Ran'er lived in the backyard, and Bai Yucheng and Chan'er lived in the front yard.
As soon as Chan'er helped Bai Yucheng through the door, she saw Qu Ran'er walking out of the house.
"Brother-in-law, why are you so drunk again?" Qu Ran'er frowned slightly, her eyes and tone showing contempt.
What Qu Ran'er couldn't stand the most was that Bai Yucheng was idle all day long, not even daring to do anything serious. He often went home drunk and asked his cousin to wait on her.
Bai Yucheng raised his eyes and looked at Qu Ran'er, and said in a neutral tone: "It's getting dark, cousin, why don't you rest?"
Bai Yucheng followed Chan'er and called her cousin Qu Ran'er.
How could Qu Ran'er not understand the meaning of these words? He was thinking that he was nosy.
Qu Ran'er said sarcastically: "I would like to take a rest, but my cousin is alone with no one to accompany her. How can I, a cousin, sleep soundly?"
Bai Yucheng, who was still drunk, was not happy when he heard this. He suddenly became excited and said loudly: "I'm not here to mess around, I'm busy with business outside!"
"Business? Haha..." Qu Ran'er was not a good person. After sneering, he retorted: "Brother-in-law, don't blame your cousin for looking down on you. You have been here in Ganquan County for so long.
Weren’t we eating, drinking and fooling around outside under the guise of being busy with business that day? Those things from Chan’er..."
"Cousin!" Chan'er winked at Qu Ran'er repeatedly, hoping she would stop talking.
Qu Ran'er didn't want to make it difficult for her cousin by making a noise at night, so she turned around and walked to the backyard with her sleeves rolled up.
But Bai Yucheng didn't want to let Qu Ran'er go. He pointed at her and shouted: "Qu Ran'er, don't leave. Tell me clearly!"
Chan'er was so anxious that she quickly advised her: "Husband, you are drunk. Let's go into the house and have a rest. Chan'er will boil some water for you to wash your feet."
"I'm not drunk! Who said I was drunk? I'm very sober!"
Bai Yucheng was really not drunk, but the words he said were common expressions used by drunkards.
Seeing Bai Yucheng's reluctance, Qu Ran'er felt even more angry, so he simply turned back and said rudely: "Bai Yucheng, I don't care how you are living, drinking, eating and drinking outside! I can't control you!"
I must make it clear to you, if you have the ability, you can make your own money and spend it yourself, don’t let Chan’er be sold out for your enjoyment!”
"Qu Ran'er, what are you talking about? When did I ask her to sell the goods?" Bai Yucheng was immediately shocked and turned to look at Chan'er.
Qu Ran'er sneered again, and then said: "Bai Yucheng, you can only spend money but not settle accounts? If Chan'er hadn't sold gold and silver jewelry for you to squander, you would have become a beggar on the street!"
Bai Yucheng couldn't help but be stunned. In fact, he had never calculated these accounts. He didn't know how much his expenses had been over a long period of time.
Suddenly, Bai Yucheng discovered that Chan'er was wearing new clothes and a pair of very brand-new and beautiful new earrings.
Bai Yucheng asked Chan'er: "Didn't she say you were selling off your belongings? Then why do you still have money to buy new clothes and jewelry?"
Chan'er was afraid that Bai Yucheng would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "No, no, no, husband, these clothes and earrings were given to me by my cousin. I was not asked to spend any money..."
Bai Yucheng immediately looked at Qu Ran'er, as if he didn't believe it.
Qu Ran'er said confidently: "Yes, I bought these clothes and earrings for my cousin! Since you, the brother-in-law, can't afford to give them to me, then I, the sister, can give them to you!"
"Cousin, please stop saying a few words, I...I beg you!" Chan'er was almost crying when she was sandwiched between the two of them.
Bai Yucheng was ridiculed and despised by Qu Ran'er, and instantly his chest felt like it was going to explode.
Suddenly, Bai Yucheng remembered that he had some money, so he took it out, stuffed it all into Chan'er's hand, and said angrily: "Give it back to her! Go and give it back to her right away!"
Holding two ingots of silver, Chan'er was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "Husband, how come you have so much silver?"
Bai Yucheng suddenly gained confidence, raised his head and said angrily: "Why are you asking? Go and give her the money!"
Qu Ran'er also became curious at this time, why did Bai Yucheng suddenly have so much money coming out of his body?
Did he really find a way to make money?
Chan'er looked at her cousin, then at the two silver ingots in her hands, and still asked uneasily: "Husband, please tell me first, where did this silver come from?"
Bai Yucheng suddenly straightened his back, straightened his gown, and said arrogantly: "Do you know Mr. An Huai?"
"Master An Huai?" Chan'er shook her head to express that she didn't recognize him.
But Qu Ran'er, who has lived in Ganquan for a long time, knew this and asked in surprise: "Is the Mr. An Huai you are talking about the grandson of Elder Hanuo of the Youlong Clan, the Mr. An Huai?"
"Is there a second Master An Huai in the Youlong clan?" Bai Yucheng said and glanced at Qu Ran'er with an arrogant look.
Chan'er suddenly realized: "Husband, you said that you have met an important person recently. Is it Mr. An Huai?"
"Exactly!" Bai Yucheng's face gradually became proud, and then he put his hands behind his waist, walked up and held out his chest, and said loudly: "Actually, I have been working for Mr. An Huai for a long time, but I haven't had time to tell you yet!"
