Zhou Yongnan took the initiative to go to the kitchen and drove Jiang Yi out, saying that he was embarrassed to eat for free and wanted to come over to help.
Jiang Yi was afraid of his questioning and left obediently.
Shen Changan and Jiang Yi sat together on the chairs in the main room, with the door of the kitchen left open.
"Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you making? Why does it smell so good?"
Zhou Yongnan began to praise Jiang Li, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to directly hand him a piece of garlic and said expressionlessly.
"Go peel the garlic."
Zhou Yongnan's enthusiasm was immediately dampened, and he could only go to work obediently.
While peeling garlic, Zhou Yongnan began to praise Jiang Li again.
Jiang Li said coldly, "I like quiet when I work."
"All right."
Zhou Yongnan obediently stepped aside and started working silently.
After finally finishing peeling the garlic, Zhou Yongnan was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Jiang Li pushed another pot of vegetables over to him.
"Help me wash this dish."
Zhou Yongnan accepted his fate and started cleaning, but he was used to a life of luxury and had never washed vegetables at home. For a moment, he didn't know where to start.
"Peel the greens and wash the dirt around the roots thoroughly."
Jiang Li gave an order and Zhou Yongnan had no choice but to do as he was told.
After washing the vegetables, he had to wash the peppers and the bacon. Zhou Yongnan sat on a small stool with his tall body, and soon he felt tired and his back ached.
Zhou Yongnan had already started to back out at this time, but when he thought of the gambling agreement between him and Shen Changan, Zhou Yongnan could only grit his teeth and endure it.
After finally finishing the work, Zhou Yongnan just stood up and stretched, and Jiang Li turned around and looked at him in confusion.
"I don't need help in the kitchen for the time being, why don't you leave?"
"Sister-in-law, your cooking is so delicious, I want to stay and learn from you."
"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you chop the wood in the corner and help me light the fire later."
When Zhou Yongnan heard that he had to work again, his face immediately fell.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here as a guest. Is it really okay for you to keep ordering me around like this?"
"It's not good, but you drove Jiang Yi and Shen Changan away. No one is doing their jobs. If you don't do it, who will?"
After Jiang Li said this, Zhou Yongnan was speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense, so he could only take a small stool and sit down to chop wood obediently.
There was a pile of firewood in the corner. Jiang Li had finished cooking, but Zhou Yongnan had not finished chopping it yet. Moreover, he had to chop the firewood while making the fire. If he was slow, he would be criticized.
Zhou Yongnan was tired after several hours, so he had a big appetite during the meal and drank four large bowls of food.
Apart from anything else, the food tastes amazing.
After dinner, Jiang Yi took the initiative to help clean up, Jiang Li wiped the table and Zhou Yongnan also came over.
Jiang Li simply handed him the rag and said, "If you want to wipe it, just wipe it yourself."
"I……"
At home, Zhou Yongnan was a rich young master who wouldn't even help if an oil bottle fell over, but he didn't expect that he would become a servant here.
Although the dinner was delicious and he was full, he still felt a little resentful about being asked to work.
Zhou Yongnan was very perfunctory in his work, and Jiang Li gave Shen Changan a look.
Shen Changan quickly stood up, grabbed the rag from his hand, and took the initiative to start cleaning.
"I told you you're not cut out for work, but you still didn't believe me. Now you understand the gap between you and me, right?"
Shen Changan gave Zhou Yongnan a look and provoked him a few words.
Zhou Yongnan decided to go all out and sat down on the chair next to Jiang Li. He turned his head and asked curiously.
"Sister-in-law, do you usually ask them to work with you like this?"
"Yes, housework is everyone's responsibility, not just one person's. If you want to eat and live here, you must help with the housework."
"Your idea is very novel. In my family, my mother does all the housework. Every time I want to help, she tells me to just sit there. Over time, I've become unwilling to help."
Zhou Yongnan knew that what he did today was not perfect, so he quickly explained his family situation.
Jiang Li nodded and said naturally: "It can be seen that you are different from Shen Changan. He has done housework, but you have done nothing."
"Sister-in-law, you are so direct, but I like your directness."
Zhou Yongnan turned his head and stared at Jiang Li. Jiang Li looked ahead indifferently and ignored his gaze at all.
"The child is crying. I have to go back to the room to take care of the child."
Jiang Li stood up naturally, avoiding his gaze, and Zhou Yongnan stood up shamelessly.
"Sister-in-law, it's too hard for you to take care of the child alone. Can I help you?"
"No need. You can't even do housework, so you definitely can't take care of children. Besides, I'm used to it. I take care of my own children by myself and don't need help from others."
Jiang Li rejected him mercilessly, and Zhou Yongnan was rejected again but still unwilling to give up.
When Jiang Li entered the room, he followed him in. Shen Changan stared at his back and silently clenched his fists.
Jiang Li's performance today was remarkable, but Zhou Yongnan was a little thicker-skinned than he had imagined. He kept pestering Jiang Li, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Li blocked the door and prevented Zhou Yongnan from entering. Zhou Yongnan wanted to squeeze in, but Shen Changan came over and casually pushed Zhou Yongnan aside.
"Jiang Li has already rejected you, don't you understand?"
Just as Shen Changan was about to go in, Jiang Li raised his head and glanced at him indifferently, with a shrewd look that seemed to see through everything.
Shen Changan paused guiltily, and Jiang Li took this opportunity to lock him in the door.
Shen Changan's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the closed door. Without saying a word, he pulled Zhou Yongnan outside.
"Xiao Li must have discovered our bet, and she's mad at me. You've finished your meal now, so hurry up and leave while it's still light."
Zhou Yongnan didn't want to leave yet, and Shen Changan glared at him fiercely.
"It's fine if you're single yourself, but you want to make me single for life? If you dare to destroy the relationship between Xiao Li and me, I'll never let you go!"
Shen Changan forced Zhou Yongnan into the driver's seat and watched him start the car and leave.
Zhou Yongnan did hard labor for several hours today, but didn't get any reward.
He had just been taught a lesson by Jiang Li, and now even Shen Changan disliked him.
Although he was still a little unwilling, he also knew that with Jiang Li's attitude towards him, it would be useless even if he stayed.
Zhou Yongnan felt a little frustrated. It was rare for him to admire a woman, and he had put in so much effort and even shares in the company, but in the end he was kicked out.
He thought about it from another perspective: if he had met Jiang Li first, would he be able to tolerate her coldness and constant rejection?
The answer is no, so they are destined to be two parallel lines and there is no possibility of them ever intersecting.
The car had already driven out for a while, and the sound of Shen Changan knocking on the door to apologize could still be heard. Zhou Yongnan couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle.
