Jiang Li led his men in, and the villagers left on their own accord.
After Jiang Li asked them to sit down, he quickly made a pot of tea and politely poured it for them.
He also took out a plate of homemade snacks for them to taste.
Zhou Xinming drank a cup of tea in one breath and got down to business without even having time to eat a snack.
"I just explained the cause of your father's death to everyone outside. They won't misunderstand you in the future."
Jiang Li nodded and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Xinming.
"One word from the police is more effective than a hundred or a thousand words from me. Thank you for what you did today. If you hadn't spoken up for me, I don't know when I would have been able to clear my name."
Zhou Xinming quickly waved his hand. "This is what I should do. It's no big deal. On the contrary, you have helped me a lot in my work. You are the biggest contributor to my becoming the team leader."
Zhou Xinming lowered his voice and spoke a little embarrassedly.
There are two other colleagues here. Everyone has witnessed Zhou Xinming's promotion process, and Jiang Li is indeed the biggest contributor.
Jiang Li felt a little embarrassed when she said this. She didn't intend to give the credit to Zhou Xinming, but she just happened to meet him every time she went to report the case.
He was the one who received us every time, and we became familiar with each other over time.
This guy is destined to be lucky. He always gets credit just by sitting there. They say that when good luck comes, it cannot be stopped. This is his fate.
"It's all coincidence, it's just a coincidence, it's your luck."
Jiang Li did not take the credit for himself. The two chatted for a while and finally talked about the quarry case.
"The quarry case is still under investigation. Once the evidence is solid, further trials will be held and all those involved will be sentenced according to their responsibilities."
"As for your father's matter, we can only wait for the verdict to give him justice. We've also brought your father's remains back to you. You can handle the rest of the matter yourself."
Zhou Xinming lowered his voice. It was such a serious case, and he would not feel at ease until the verdict was made.
"Thank you for making this trip. Thank you for telling me this news. I would also like to ask you to keep an eye on my mother. I want to know if she is still alive or has passed away?"
Jiang Li felt heavy-hearted when she talked about her mother. Her sister was missing, her father was confirmed dead, and her mother was now missing too. There were so many things going on at home and they were so chaotic that she couldn't cope with it.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it for you and notify you promptly if there's any new information."
In order to repay Jiang Li for all the contributions she has made to him, Zhou Xinming now regards her as a friend.
He takes every commission from Jiang Li seriously and tries his best to do it well.
The two were originally strangers, but because of their repeated interactions, they have now become comrades-in-arms who share life and death.
"Thank you very much. Go and try the cakes I made. If you like them, remember to recommend some business to me."
Everyone laughed as Jiang Li said this casually. Originally, they had only drunk boiled water, but with her warm hospitality, they each took a piece of cake to taste.
As a result, they found that the pastry tasted very good and was different from any pastry they had eaten before.
"Delicious, Jiang Li, the cake you made tastes really good. What's the name of this cake? How much do you usually sell it for per pound?"
"This is yam glutinous rice cake. I sell it to villagers for one yuan per pound, and to the public for 1.5 yuan per pound."
Jiang Li did not hide anything and told Zhou Xinming the actual situation.
"Do you have any left? Sell me four pounds at 1.5 yuan a pound. I'll use it as a gift."
"I want one too. I want one too. My wife is pregnant and can't eat. She will definitely like your cake."
Jiang Li didn't expect that he could make several deals in an instant just by entertaining guests.
However, she doesn't have much stock here, and it's only for Zhou Xinming, so she may not sell it to others.
Jiang Li sold the goods to them at one yuan per pound, and did not give them directly to them because the people's police would not accept bribes casually.
People feel at ease only after eating the things they buy with their own money. The price is low and we don’t deliberately try to make a profit from them. This way, everyone feels happy.
After seeing off several police officers, Jiang Li began to collect his father's remains.
My uncle went down the mountain to sell bamboo shoes today. It was not a good idea to leave the pile of things here, so he decided to take them to the market to sell them himself.
Jiang Yi and Shen Changan were both at school and did not come back, so only Jiang Li and the two children were at home.
Her father's body was placed in a porcelain jar, which Jiang Li placed in the corner of the yard. She was not very reassured that if she left, there would only be two children left at home.
Jiang Li was sitting in a chair, lost in thought, when Goudan came back with a group of chicks.
Jiang Li saw that Goudan's belly was covered with yellow mud and Xiaoji's claws were also covered with yellow mud, so he knew that they had just returned from the fields.
"Goudan, come here for a moment. I need your help with something."
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, master, what's the matter? Tell Goudan, and Goudan will help you!"
Goudan rushed over excitedly and hugged her calves, rubbing his little head against her legs.
Then he stretched out his right front leg, patted his furry chest, and said confidently.
With the experience from previous times, Goudan was more efficient than before.
Farming every day is a bit boring, and it is very happy to help its owner.
Jiang Li told Goudan that Pan Aijuan had seduced her uncle again. Goudan was very angry and kept barking.
"Master, this Pan Aijuan is so abominable. What do you want me to do? I'll help you deal with her! She even dared to bully my uncle. This is simply too much!"
Goudan was so angry that he jumped up and down and kept circling around Jiang Li.
It was already prepared, and as soon as its owner gave the order, it would jump up and deal with Pan Aijuan.
Jiang Li picked up Goudan from the ground and gently stroked its fur.
Jiang Li said a few words in Goudan's ear, and his eyes immediately widened.
The cute little head nodded frantically. When Jiang Li put it on the ground, Goudan turned around and ran outside.
It ran to the gate of the yard, and the group of chicks followed it chirping. It quickly called to the chicks a few times and drove them back obediently.
The chicks all listened to Goudan. They gathered at the door of the main room, stretching their little heads to look at him secretly.
Goudan skillfully pushed open the yard door and was about to close it when he turned around and saw the children staring at him.
Goudan turned around and waved his right front leg at them, signaling them to go back.
At its signal, the chicks turned around silently and walked towards the storage room, looking back every few steps.
When Goudan saw that they had all left, he closed the yard door and walked out with his head held high.
