After the first pot of yam came out of the pot, Jiang Li asked him to soak the cooked yam in cold water, and then started to cook the second pot.
Apart from discussing work, the two of them didn't really have much to say to each other.
Jiang Li was not as cheerful as usual. She was very silent now, so Jiang Longtao could only take the initiative to find topics to talk about.
"Jiang Li, don't you want to know why I cleaned Huai Shang so quickly just now?"
"Either you used some tricks or you asked someone for help. There are only two possibilities."
Jiang Li's logical thinking was very clear, and he immediately understood Jiang Longtao's thoughts.
Jiang Longtao was not only not annoyed but also very happy. "Jiang Li, you are so smart. I just spent some money to hire a few aunts to help. They worked very hard!"
"Um."
Jiang Li responded indifferently. Jiang Longtao was a little too enthusiastic, so she decided to deal with it calmly.
"In fact, washing this pair of yam only cost me one dollar, and my hands didn't itch at all."
Jiang Longtao was expecting Jiang Li's praise, but Jiang Li just nodded slightly.
"Yes, you are very smart." But also very lazy. Jiang Li only said half of the sentence and muttered the rest in his heart.
Jiang Longtao was also a smart man. He saw through her thoughts in an instant: "I helped wash it too. Don't think I was just sitting there playing. Look at my hands, they are rough from washing."
Jiang Longtao stretched out his hand, originally wanting to prove that he worked very hard.
As a result, his two palms were smoother than Jiang Li's, and he also had the legendary broken palm.
Jiang Li glanced at his palm lightly, then stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Jiang Longtao.
How could Jiang Longtao not understand what she meant? This tough guy was exposed in public by the girl he liked, and his face immediately turned red with shame.
"I'm going to peel the yam very hard next time. I'm definitely not going to hire anyone this time. Can't I just do it myself?"
In fact, Jiang Li didn't think it was impossible. Instead, Jiang Longtao's actions opened up new ideas for her.
She has to take care of her children and cannot spend a lot of time on these things. So, can she hire someone else to do some unskilled work like cleaning and peeling for a little money?
In this way, everyone made money and she saved trouble and time. The most important thing was that her hands finally stopped itching. The problem could be solved with just a few dollars, and the final profit was also considerable. Jiang Li felt it was worth it.
Jiang Longtao seldom does farm work, and even less housework. He is okay at making fire and chopping firewood, but peeling yam is like peeling a dog's paw, leaving a small piece of skin on it from time to time, which then needs to be processed again.
"Or, why don't you just pay someone to do the work?"
Jiang Li asked tentatively, her tone was very gentle, for fear of accidentally hurting Jiang Longtao's self-esteem.
Jiang Longtao thought she was being sarcastic, and immediately assured her solemnly, "There's no need to hire anyone for this little thing. I can do it myself."
Jiang Li moved his mouth, but was too embarrassed to change the subject, so he could only watch Jiang Longtao frantically peeling the yam.
Jiang Longtao peeled a small half of it, and his hands felt itchy and numb, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Jiang Li, I've peeled so much, I don't want to peel it anymore."
"Are you exhausted? Save it for me to peel later, or hire someone else."
Jiang Li's words were absolutely sincere, but Jiang Longtao misheard them because he was too cautious.
"You look like you're having a hard time, let me peel it."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Longtao's face, which looked like he had lost all hope in life, and said again, "Don't force it, why don't you hire someone?"
"No, I can still do it!"
Jiang Longtao continued to grit his teeth and persevere. Jiang Li gently held his forehead, not knowing what to say.
…
"Song Jialin! How dare you lie to me!"
Shen Changan gritted his teeth and said angrily, God knows when he woke up and saw such a strange woman lying next to him.
Moreover, this woman looked very fierce, with a sense of hostility in her eyes and eyebrows. Shen Changan didn't like such women very much.
He felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when he thought about the night he had with her last night.
He really couldn't appreciate this kind of vulgar and coquettish woman. He wanted to find out what happened, but the woman kept crying and asking him to take responsibility.
Shen Changan didn't fancy her at all, so how could he be responsible for such a woman?
Originally he wanted to solve the problem in his own way, but that woman was too stubborn and he couldn't get rid of her no matter what he did.
In a fit of rage, Shen Changan called home and asked his family to come forward to resolve the situation, while he himself left Baiyun Town completely.
He originally wanted to forget this memory, but when he returned to the provincial capital, he always felt uneasy.
This time he came here to be a teacher in order to seek the truth. If he hadn't seen Jiang Li's two lovely children, perhaps his life would still be a mediocre one.
The truth is important, but it feels terrible to reveal your scars and expose yourself like a clown in front of others.
Shen Changan, who was known for doing things decisively, instinctively chose to procrastinate on this matter.
Now the results of the investigation show that the person he slept with was not Song Jialin. Shen Changan breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was not her, and he did not have to be responsible for her. This was already a blessing in disguise.
"What did the first woman look like? Don't you remember anything about her? Didn't you see her face clearly when she left?"
"Now that we've come to this point, is there any need for you to hide anything? Tell me everything you know honestly, and at least you can get my help."
Shen Changan was still unwilling to give in, so he put pressure on Chen Zhijun again, and at the same time gave him a sweet treat.
"The woman lowered her head when she came in, and she did the same when she left, so I couldn't see her face clearly. The only difference was that when she came in, her hair was neatly braided, but when she left, her braids were loose and covered her entire face."
Chen Zhijun was still trying hard to recall. He now knew clearly that he had completely boarded Shen Changan's ship. If he wanted to please both sides, he would probably offend Shen Changan completely, and then the loss would really outweigh the gain.
"Wait, you said that girl had two braids? Is her hair long? Approximately where does it reach when it's braided?"
Shen Changan extracted key information from Chen Zhijun's messy words.
The first girl who entered his room had two braids, and Jiang Li also had two braids before.
Does this mean that the person who entered his room was actually Jiang Li???
"The girl's hair is very long. When she tied it up, it fell to her chest. When she let it down, it was waist-length."
"Her hair was black and shiny. Oh, and when she passed by me, she had a strange, subtle fragrance on her body!"
