Chen Danian was indeed unaware that Gan Li was not at home today.
He intended to go to the dock to look for her, but found that the only people selling popsicles at the dock today were the elderly Gan couple and Gan Mingli's family, but Gan Li was nowhere to be seen.
Puzzled, he thought about it carefully and realized that Ganli might be heartbroken because of the big fight they had yesterday, which was why she was staying at home.
It turns out that although she seemed heartless yesterday, she was actually still thinking about him.
This discovery made Chen Danian somewhat smug, and he also felt it was just right. He had already lost face at the dock yesterday, and if he showed up now, it might cause some trouble. Fortunately, Gan Li was not here today, so he decided to go by himself.
Or perhaps, the old woman, moved by his visit, revealed the method of making ice, saving him the trouble of going through so much trouble later.
With that thought in mind, Chen Danian soon arrived at Yuxi Village. He didn't know that Gan Li had started her own household after returning home, so he went directly to the Gan family's old house.
Having just seen the Gan family elders and the eldest son's family at the dock, he figured there was probably no one else at home, so he went straight up and knocked on the door.
A moment later, a commotion came from inside. Chen Danian quickly straightened his long gown, straightened his back, and wore a calm expression on his face.
He has always cherished his face and taken great care of it. As a result, over the years, he has not only remained handsome but has also gained a touch of mature charm. Otherwise, he would not have been able to seduce Master Zhao's daughter.
He adopted an air of aloofness and stood there quietly, waiting for Gan Li's amazed look when the door opened.
The door creaked open, and feeling the admiring gaze upon him, Chen Danian felt smug, confident that today's matter was almost settled. He slowly raised his head, intending to make an even more stunning appearance, but when he saw who it was, his expression froze instantly:
"Why is it you?"
Hearing his slightly disdainful words, Sun's eyes cleared, and she pursed her lips:
"This is my home, why can't it be mine? But you, didn't you divorce Gan Li? What are you doing here?"
Chen Danian said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, where's Gan Li? Tell her to come out."
"Oh, so you really came to see her?" A hint of sourness welled up in Madam Sun's heart.
The reason she disliked Gan Li so much was not only because Gan Li had been clinging to her family for so many years, but also because of jealousy.
She was jealous that Ganli, despite being a mere maid, was still pampered by her parents. She was jealous that Ganli, despite being a fool, married a scholar! And this scholar, to make matters worse, was quite handsome.
On the other hand, she was clever and quick-witted from a young age, but her father didn't love her and her mother didn't care for her. The man she married was a rough farmer who always came back from work smelling sour and unpleasant!
Why is God so unfair?
Gan Li finally got a divorce, but in reality, she was kicked out of the house by Chen Danian. Sun felt that she had finally won the case, but in just two days, Chen Danian actually came to her door again!
That said, Chen Danian and Gan Li have been married for many years, and relying on his status as a scholar, he has rarely visited the Gan family. But today, he has condescended to come to their door and is dressed so flamboyantly... Could it be that he has come to reconcile with Gan Li?
Thinking of this, Madam Sun immediately became nervous. She remembered that she had been beaten by her husband yesterday because of that bitch's instigation, and she didn't want that bitch to get away with it!
Before Chen Danian could speak, she quickly said in a shrill voice, "It's a pity you're too late. She went out early this morning."
"Going out?" Chen Danian was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "Where is she going?"
Sun Shi really didn't know where Gan Li had gone.
This morning, she learned that Gan Mingyi was going out with Gan Li, so she asked him a few questions, but that bastard was wary of her and didn't say anything.
So all she knew was that Ganli had gone out, but she had no idea where she went or what she was doing.
However, when facing Chen Danian... she raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of ambiguous smiles: "Where could she be dressed up so early in the morning? She's never been a well-behaved person to begin with, and now that she's earned so much money, her mind is practically floating on air."
"She went to find another man? That bitch! Is she that desperate for a man? We've only been divorced for a few days, and she can't wait any longer! Does she really think she's something special just because she made a few taels of silver..."
Seeing Chen Danian's gritted teeth, Madam Sun added fuel to the fire:
"What do you mean by a few ounces? She's something else now. I heard that even Bai Fulai has gotten into business with her. I wonder how many times he slept with her to get that opportunity?"
Chen Danian felt indignant after hearing what Sun said.
However, when he heard the words "Baifulai," he remembered the purpose of his visit that day, his eyes flickered, and he asked calmly:
What business did she do with Baifulai?
"They said it was something like milk or ice."
Upon hearing the word 'ice,' Chen Danian's heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That bitch! She'd rather give the ice-making method to outsiders than give it to me!"
After Sun finished speaking, she suddenly came to her senses and realized that the man surnamed Chen was trying to probe her!
Seeing his annoyed expression, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you also interested in this business?"
Chen Danian was in a fit of anger and initially didn't want to pay her any attention. But then he thought, Sun Shi is also a member of the Gan family, and they'll run into each other all the time. How could she possibly keep Gan Li's movements from her? She might know something.
So he lowered his raised foot, smiled at Madam Sun, and asked softly:
“That’s right, I also want to know how to make ice, but Pear is still angry with me and won’t tell me. Second sister-in-law is her sister-in-law, if you know anything, please tell me, and I will… reward you handsomely.”
He looked at Madam Sun, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
Sun's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of shyness appeared on her harsh face. She glared at him and said reproachfully, "I do know something, but what will you give me in exchange?"
Sun wasn't lying to Chen Danian; she did know some things.
Before that little bitch started doing business, Gan Mingyi accompanied her to town a few times. After they came back, he grumbled a few times that his sister had bought a lot of saltpeter, but he didn't know what it was for.
She hadn't paid attention at the time, until that little bitch's popsicle business took off. She just wanted to find out how much silver she was making every day. She inadvertently mentioned the saltpeter she had bought for a lot of money before, but Gan Mingyi reacted very strongly and wouldn't allow her to ask any more questions.
At that time, she wondered if the saltpeter was the key to the popsicle business.
Now that the crisis surrounding the secret recipe has been resolved, Sun Shi has no more scruples and can only feel envious of Gan Li's profits! Today, Chen Danian happened to come to her door, and she thought that perhaps she could take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits and also put an end to that little bitch's arrogance!
