“My father used to work in a quarry.”

Since coming here, Jiang Li has never mentioned his father to anyone, and his siblings also keep silent about this matter. This is the first time that Jiang Li has taken the initiative to talk about his dead father.

"I heard Jiang Yi say that."

Not only Jiang Yi, Shen Changan also heard about Jiang Li's family from many people.

"Before, the villagers always said that my father was mad at me because I got pregnant before marriage, but I clearly remember that when my father found out I was pregnant, although he was furious and scolded me severely, he didn't do anything extreme."

"He went to the quarry the next day. We didn't receive the news of his death until a month later. We don't know when he died. My mother couldn't accept the fact after she found out. She cried and went up the mountain at night and never came back."

"I used to really think my father's death was related to me. After all, it was normal for my father to be unable to accept what I did."

Jiang Li said this with a bitter smile. Even she herself couldn't understand how the original owner had the courage to give such an outstanding man like Shen Changan to...

"The people at the quarry are reckless about human life. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with you. Don't let it affect your mood."

Shen Changan said without any hesitation that he trusted Jiang Li unconditionally in this matter.

"Well, I now have a suspicion that my father was killed by the people in the quarry. Just like those people, he was thrown off the cliff in an accident."

"My mother didn't disappear on her own. She must have been found by them while searching for my father. She might have been detained, or she might have been murdered."

"I would rather believe that my mother was sold by them than that she is dead."

Jiang Li felt very heavy-hearted when she said these words, and she didn't even dare to tell her uncle and brother.

Only in front of Shen Changan can she speak her mind without any scruples.

Shen Changan is steady and reliable in his work. He has helped her a lot during this period. Unconsciously, Jiang Li has regarded him as her support.

"Perhaps your mother is still alive and well in this world, or maybe she's waiting for you to rescue her like your sister."

Shen Changan lowered his voice, he didn’t know how to comfort when encountering such a thing.

Just seeing the wound hidden deep in Jiang Li's heart, his heart also ached.

"I haven't found my sister. Even if my mother were alive, I wouldn't be able to find her. Am I useless?"

It's really hard to admit that she is useless, but fortunately she still has other ways to find her sister, so it can't be considered a failure for now.

"It's not easy to find someone in such a huge crowd, but it doesn't matter. I will do my best to help you."

Shen Changan gently stroked her long hair, and his low and slightly magnetic voice cleansed her soul like gentle water waves.

Jiang Li was a little annoyed at first, but in an instant he was like a cat whose fur had been stroked, and all his temper disappeared.

"What if I never find my sister and mom?"

"Then I'll go with you to look for it!"

Shen Changan's clear attitude and firm words made Jiang Li feel as if he had drunk a pot of sake, and his whole body was warm.

Jiang Li lowered his head, so moved that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Shen Changan couldn’t help but pushed her gently.

"Xiao Li, why are you silent? Could it be that I moved you to tears?"

The corners of Shen Changan's mouth turned up, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Jiang Li was touched by what he said, and gently poked Shen Changan's chest with his elbow.

His chest was hard and exceptionally broad, and Shen Changan grabbed his mischievous little hand and took her arm around her waist.

Jiang Li was still smiling just now, but Shen Changan's sudden intimacy made her whole body stiffen.

"Xiao Li, you have to learn to adapt to this kind of intimacy."

Shen Changan's voice was seductive as he whispered in her ear.

"Why?"

Jiang Li asked in confusion, and Shen Changan explained with a good-tempered smile.

"Because this kind of intimacy will only increase in the future."

Shen Changan whispered in her ear and blew gently into her ear.

Jiang Li's little face immediately turned red, and her little ears were also red. She lowered her head and didn't even dare to look at Shen Changan, let alone respond to his words.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't say anything, Shen Changan became bolder. He gently pinched her arm, and when he saw that Jiang Li didn't react, he bravely pinched her shoulder, but Jiang Li still didn't react.

Shen Changan became bolder, and his hand stayed below his shoulder for a while, originally wanting to muster up the courage to explore the forbidden area that he had always been curious about.

Jiang Li's body stiffened again. She stretched out a hand to protect her shoulder, and Shen Changan stopped doing evil.

He put his arms around Jiang Li's waist again, buried his face deep in her back, and gently inhaled her fragrance.

The two of them leaned against each other quietly for a while, and the little guy lying on the bed began to hum restlessly again.

Jiang Li took this opportunity to push Shen Changan away, “The children are awake, I have to urinate and feed them.”

"Let me help you."

Shen Changan skillfully picked up the eldest brother and fed him.

Jiang Li also picked up the second child, first helped him pee, and then prepared to feed him, but Shen Changan was still in the room, so Jiang Li stopped feeding.

Lao Er was so hungry that he pouted his lower lip high and kept pushing against her clothes. His little mouth bit her clothes and licked them continuously. Jiang Li's chest was soon wet by his licking.

Shen Changan was still feeding milk to the eldest brother. At this time, his uncle and brother were already asleep. It was not appropriate to light a light outside, nor was it appropriate to drive Shen Changan out.

Shen Changan consciously pulled a stool and sat by the window, "I'll sit over there and promise not to peek."

Shen Changan turned her back with the child in her arms. Jiang Li was very conflicted. The second child had already stretched out his little hands to grab her clothes. Seeing that his mother still refused to give him milk, he burst into tears in panic.

Jiang Li really had no choice but to get into bed with the child in her arms. She wrapped the quilt around herself and the child's lower body, then turned slightly to lift her clothes to feed the child.

The second child couldn't wait to come over and took the pacifier in his mouth, sucking it with a snapping sound.

He doesn't usually drink milk like this, but for some reason he was particularly anxious today. In the quiet night, the sound of him drinking milk was particularly loud.

When Shen Changan heard the clattering sound, his curious ears pricked up. He resisted the urge to turn around and peek, and forced himself to look out the window.

Shen Changan tried hard to empty his mind until it became blank, and then he finally restrained the urge to peek.
