"Aunt, I can't live in the village for a long time in my current situation. I plan to find some work in town. If there is any news about my sister at Zhang Zeping's house, could you please let me know?"

"I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, leave it to me! Even if you go to work in town, you can treat this as your mother's home. Come back when you have time, and I'll make you something delicious."

"Thank you, Auntie. You are such a kind person, but the villagers always misunderstand you. It's really wrong!"

The two chatted for a while. This time they had a great harvest. Each of them picked up a large bundle of firewood. The relationship between them was as good as that of mother and daughter.

On the way down the mountain, the two forgot about their sad memories and talked and laughed all the way.

As the two men dragged the firewood to the foot of the mountain, they saw a tall and strong man leaning against a tree waiting for something.

"Jiang Li, look at that man. He's so stupid. I don't know what he's waiting for."

Lai Erniang whispered in Jiang Li's ear. Jiang Li raised his head curiously in the direction of her finger and saw a familiar figure.

“Shen Changan???”

Jiang Li was completely unable to control her surprise. She had already come to the Northeast alone, so how did Shen Changan find this place?

The key point is why did he come here? According to her understanding, he doesn't live here and has no relatives here.

It is not realistic to travel here in such a cold weather. If Shen Changan appeared in Xinghua Town, it could be explained, after all, it is such a prosperous town.

But it was definitely abnormal for him to appear in Zaoni Village, a remote mountain village.

Jiang Li absolutely doesn't believe that there is such a coincidence in this world!

"What? Know him? Is he your boyfriend? This guy looks really nice, but I wonder if he's just a show-off."

Lai Erniang saw a lot from Jiang Li's surprised expression, and an intriguing look appeared on her face.

"Aunt, it's not what you think!"

Jiang Li quickly waved his hands and wanted to explain, but this matter was indeed difficult to explain.

Although Shen Changan is not her partner, he is the father of her child!

This extremely twisted relationship cannot be told to outsiders. Jiang Li is usually eloquent, but this time his brain has stopped working and he doesn't know what to say except that it's not true.

When Shen Changan heard Jiang Li's voice, he raised his head in surprise. He strode over and stared at her again and again with burning eyes.

"Jiang Li, I finally found you!"

Jiang Li stared at him for a long time with a complicated expression. Because Lai Er Niang was there, there were some things between the two of them that had not been confirmed, so Jiang Li did not dare to speak rashly.

Shen Changan had thousands of words in his heart and wanted to ask the truth immediately, but when he saw the look Jiang Li gave him, he chose to endure it.

"Well, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Okay." Shen Changan guessed his thoughts in an instant. He took the initiative to help take the firewood and also took the firewood in Lai Erniang's hand.

"Thank you, Auntie, for taking care of our Xiao Li. Let me do the heavy work."

Shen Changan was extremely strong, and his thick arms immediately bulged with muscles. He easily lifted two bundles of firewood and walked briskly down the mountain.

Lai Erniang held Jiang Li's arm and kept winking at her.

"What's going on between you and this guy? Can you tell me?"

"Aunt, this is a long story. Why don't we go back and talk about it?"

Lai Erniang's curiosity was aroused and she asked several times in a row. Jiang Li lowered his head shyly on purpose and was too shy to speak.

Shen Changan came to the gate of the yard carrying firewood, and Lai Erniang quickly opened the door and invited them both in.

"I'm going to cook first. If you have anything to talk about, please chat first. Remember to tell me when you're done!"

Lai Erniang was a sensible person. After inviting people into the main room, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cook.

"Where is your room?"

Shen Changan looked around the room and asked casually.

He was anxious because he couldn't find her before, but now that he saw her standing in front of him unharmed, Shen Changan suddenly stopped being anxious.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Li looked at him warily. Everything went wrong since Shen Changan suddenly appeared.

It was obvious that she had mastered the rhythm of the whole thing, and everything was moving in a good direction.

Shen Changan's sudden arrival completely disrupted her plan.

Now he was about to drag her back to the room. Thinking of the last time he touched her when he was drunk, Jiang Li wanted to kick him out.

"Are you going to talk here or in the room?"

Shen Changan glanced at Lai Erniang who was busy in the kitchen. Although she was working non-stop, her ears were perked up and she was always paying attention to the situation here.

"Then let's go to the room and talk."

Jiang Li followed his gaze and saw Lai Erniang's little movements.

With elders watching at home, Shen Changan certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly today since he wasn't drunk.

Jiang Li led him into the room, and Shen Changan closed the door and locked it.

“Chen Changan, why did you come to the Northeast? How did you find this place?”

Jiang Li's heart was already full of doubts, and now he couldn't wait to ask.

Shen Changan briefly recounted what had happened, and Jiang Li realized that it was her brother Jiang Yi who betrayed her.

Thinking of her brother's concern for her, Jiang Li also knew that he meant well.

It’s just that Jiang Li still feels it’s inappropriate to trouble Shen Changan on this matter.

"You're just a little girl, leaving your two young sons behind and running all the way to Northeast China. You ran into a crisis the moment you got off the train. If something really happened, what would happen to your brother? What would happen to your two children?"

"You're already such a grown-up, and usually seem quite calm, so why are you so stubborn about this?"

"If you really want to go to the Northeast, just let Jiang Yi tell me. I can go in your place. You don't have to make the trip yourself!"

Shen Changan usually spoke very little, but this time, seeing Jiang Li so impulsive, he couldn't restrain himself from saying a few more words.

God knows how shocked he was when he received Jiang Yi's call. How could Jiang Li be so bold?

The public security outside is very chaotic, especially around the train station where there are long queues of people. She is a little girl who ran to the Northeast alone. Who can feel at ease?

And this little girl is not someone else, she is the mother of his two children! Shen Changan can no longer sit idly by.

Jiang Li originally had a lot to say, but now seeing Shen Changan with such a hot temper, he suddenly felt like he didn't know him anymore.

It took her a long time to muster up the courage to retort, "You are just Jiang Yi's teacher, not mine. Going to the Northeast to find my sister is my personal matter. Why should I tell you?"
