The snow fell heavier and heavier. Nakata walked slowly along the road, lost in thought. But she keenly sensed that all the pedestrians on the road were heading in one direction, their expressions quite gossipy.

"What's wrong?" Zhongtian stopped a pedestrian.

"You know that widow with the red hands, right? His wife's family came knocking on the door! I heard they smashed up the whole shop."

It's human nature to watch the fun.

Of course, Zhongtian knew about that widow; Song Jinshu was in trouble.

After thinking it over, Zhongtian decided to go anyway. They were acquaintances, and he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.

Hong Su's hands were in complete disarray; the wine was smashed, and the ground was covered in shards, making it impossible to step on anything.

Song Jinshu stood there, his clothes torn and disheveled. He stood there helplessly, looking somewhat bewildered. He didn't understand why, even though he had tried so hard to hide, he was still found.

A man in his fifties stood in the middle of the hall, his eyes gleaming with shrewd calculation. He stood with his hands on his hips, angrily cursing:

"Song Jinshu, you shameless woman! Can't you live a single day without a woman? My daughter is dead, and you're supposed to remain chaste for her sake, a woman who was born my daughter and a ghost who will die for her!"

"How many women have you seduced while running this distillery?!"

His gaze swept over the rather large distillery, a greedy glint in his eyes.

These days, Song Jinshu seized the opportunity to expand his shop and hire several new waiters.

Song Jinshu was originally a very shrewd and capable person, but he was also embarrassed and helpless when faced with his mother-in-law who naturally suppressed him!

"Your daughter contracted tuberculosis and died shortly after Jinshu married into the family. It was her unfortunate fate. What does it have to do with Jinshu? Don't try to frame her." Xia Fang's voice came, slightly out of breath, clearly indicating that she had come in a hurry.

When Song Jinshu saw Xia Fang, she was immediately overwhelmed with grievance and threw herself into Xia Fang's arms.

Ding Yucheng, who followed behind, stood to the side, coldly watching this scene.

His gaze swept across the crowd of onlookers, and when he saw Zhongtian, he blinked in surprise.

Xia Fang's words clearly enraged the man standing with his hands on his hips: "It's because Song Jinshu is unlucky, a jinx to his wives! If she hadn't married into the family, my daughter could have lived for several more years!"

He looked at Xia Fang, first with suspicion, then with anger. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xia Fang's sleeve: "You're Song Jinshu's lover, aren't you? You've come out to back him up! Aren't you afraid that being with him will ruin your life and make you die sooner!"

"you..…"

Xia Fang was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing.

Seeing that things were going badly, the man immediately collapsed to the ground, crying out, "My daughter's life is so miserable!"

He became increasingly upset as he spoke. Looking at the wine bottle on the ground, a surge of malice rose in his heart. He immediately picked up the bottle and threw it fiercely at Xia Fang.

Just as the attack was about to hit Xia Fang, Ding Yucheng immediately stood in front of Xia Fang and used his back to block the attack for him.

Ding Yucheng's forehead immediately broke out in fine beads of sweat, clearly indicating that he was in great pain.

Xia Fang immediately released Song Jinshu and hugged Ding Yucheng: "Yucheng, Yucheng, are you alright!"

Ding Yucheng looked at Xia Fang weakly and said, "I'm fine. It's good that you're not hurt."

This scene was clearly witnessed by those around them, who all praised her. Xia Fang came to support another man, and Ding Yucheng not only wasn't jealous, but even risked his life to save his wife. What a good husband!

Zhong Tian was speechless. Ding Yucheng had just been flirting with her, but in the blink of an eye, he seized the opportunity to win over the onlookers!

The unreasonable man was clearly angry that the bottle hadn't hit the person in question, so he immediately picked up the bottle again and threw it.

To avoid harming innocent people, Nakata immediately stepped forward, grabbed the bottle, and smashed it back at Nakata.

The loud noise from the bottle startled the man, and the spilled liquor splashed all over his face.

"And who are you? You're standing up for Song Jinshu, are you also his lover?"

Zhongtian ignored him, instead looking at Ding Yucheng's injuries and saying to Xia Fang, "Quickly take him to the clinic. I'll take care of things here."

"….good"

Unexpectedly, Ding Yucheng refused: "Let's stay here. After we leave, Jinshu will be all alone, and I'm really worried about her."

Xia Fang was also worried.

Zhongtian didn't offer any opinion, but turned and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the man who was slumped on the ground.

"Why is it that all you can think about is sex? How disgusting! Can't I just be a stranger who doesn't like you?" Nakata looked at the calculating man in front of him with disgust.

She looked at Song Jinshu and asked loudly, "Manager Song! The laws of Zhaohua Kingdom stipulate that if either spouse dies, the marriage is automatically dissolved. Is that right?"

Since learning that Xia Jin'an had committed murder, Zhong Tian had been studying the laws of Zhaohua Kingdom intensively. Unexpectedly, the laws in this area were quite comprehensive.

"...right!"

"Manager Song, this shop is yours, isn't it? Your wife's family didn't contribute a single penny, did they?"

"Yes." The brewing technique for red crispy wine came from his father.

"The staff in the store are all your people, and you pay their monthly wages, right?"

"right!"

"Legally, he's not your mother-in-law anymore, is he?"

"Yes!"

"Then what are you afraid of? What are you scared of? He's not your mother-in-law, he's the villain who bullied you, the murderer who smashed your shop. Fight back, or you'll be bullied forever and never have a peaceful day!"

Song Jinshu looked at the wound on his hand. His hand had just been injured by a broken wine bottle, and it had bled a lot. If these fine, dense wounds on his hand were not treated, they would fester and grow larger and larger.

He thinks he understands!

"Waiter, kick him out. If he comes back, beat him out! Also," Song Jinshu thought for a moment, "go to the government office and get a document to tally up the losses. Remember it and make him pay for it, not a penny less."

The waiter had had enough of this humiliation and immediately picked up a stick to chase the annoying man out.

Ding Yucheng lowered his head, and Xia Fang hugged him with some heartache, expressing her concern: "Yucheng, let's go to the clinic. It's my fault. I shouldn't have brought you out."

But Ding Yucheng couldn't listen anymore; he hadn't expected Song Jinshu's crisis to be resolved so easily.

Can a man sometimes rely on himself, without women, and have money, power, and the ability to support himself, and stand up to the world, and stand against the malice of others on his own? He fell into deep thought.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the crowd left.

Song Jinshu tidied up the shop briefly and poured Zhong Tian a cup of tea: "Today, let's drink tea instead of wine to thank you for your help!"

“I just can’t stand seeing people suffer in front of me.” Nakata scratched his head.

"Madam Zhong, you have the air of an ancient knight-errant! As a reward for your good deed today, I'll tell you a secret!"

……

The wind and snow continued incessantly, the snowflakes falling gently like goose feathers, willow catkins, and dandelion seeds.

In a pavilion not far away, a figure stood. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for a snowman, because the snow had accumulated on her in a thick layer.

That's Nakata.

Snowflakes fell into her eyes, she blinked, and the snowflakes melted away!

It wasn't until a carriage appeared on the horizon, where the sky and earth were both white, that Nakata seemed to wake from a dream.

He stood in front of the carriage!

The coachman was startled, and the horse neighed. The coachman was furious: "What are you doing?"

Master Li, who was resting with his eyes closed, stumbled and almost fell to the ground. He immediately lifted the carriage curtain and shouted, "How dare you!"

She rubbed her eyes, took a closer look, and recognized the person in front of her as Zhong Tian from Nian Jun'an, but wasn't quite sure: "Are you Manager Zhong?"

The once quiet carriage was suddenly filled with the sound of things falling.

Zhongtian opened her mouth, and snowflakes instantly fell into it. Her voice was swallowed by the lonely wind and snow, and could not be heard clearly, so she repeated her voice: "Jin An, come down and meet me!"
