Chapter 12 Are you possessed? Yes, I even used a curse.
Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya, the two little ones, rushed up to Jiang Ji, ignoring their greasy paws. One of them hugged Jiang Ji's waist, and the other hugged his leg.
She kept chattering, asking, "Brother, brother, why are you back at this time?"
"Brother, brother, I miss you so much."
Ye Li watched this scene, her gaze fixed on Jiang Ji's face.
He received the original owner's memories and knew what his cheap husband looked like.
But memories are like watching a movie; the visual effects are far less intense than seeing a real person in person.
The cheap husband has long eyebrows, somewhat narrow eyes, a pert nose, and thin lips, making him look rather fierce.
But he was also exceptionally handsome.
With his striking features, bright eyes, and a height of over 1.8 meters, Ye Li couldn't take his eyes off him just by standing at the door.
What a handsome guy with striking features!
He was rather thin, and he was wearing a long robe with a cross-collar that resembled a Taoist robe. The already large body and cuffs of the robe looked as if they were hanging on a bamboo pole.
Ye Li's gaze swept around twice, from top to bottom and then from bottom to top, until he was completely satisfied.
He raised his left hand and poked Ye Liang's shoulder: "Brother, go and say a few good words for me."
“Last time he came back and saw me harvesting wheat and yams, he was very unhappy. Just tell him I’ve reformed and started a new life.”
"Okay!" Ye Liang replied readily.
He walked towards Jiang Ji with a happy expression.
Now that Li Ge'er can earn money and gets along well with Xiao Mai and Ya Ge'er, his only worry is whether he can get along with Xiao Ji.
He must praise Brother Li a lot.
Just then, Jiang Mai and Jiang Ya pulled Jiang Ji's hand and were about to walk towards the kitchen when he said, "Little Ji, you're back just in time. Quickly wash your hands, sit down and have some soup. Brother Li has stewed some bone broth. Look at this soup, it smells especially good."
After saying that, he turned to Ye Li and told her to quickly give Jiang Jisheng a bowl of bone broth.
"Okay." Ye Li looked obedient and quickly went into the kitchen.
Jiang Ji frowned slightly, and he turned his gaze from Ye Li to Ye Liang, his brother-in-law.
Apart from Ye Li, who is a good-for-nothing, everyone else in the Ye family is very kind.
Ye Liang treated him like a younger brother, and he respected Ye Liang very much.
He beckoned Ye Liang to enter the kitchen: "Brother Liang, let's come inside and sit down to eat. But what's going on here? I thought we'd come to the wrong house."
Upon hearing this, Ye Liang couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Ji was surprised by that smile.
The Ye family lived in poverty, and the heavy, endless work made Ye Liang look much older than his actual age.
Ye Liang was always taciturn and looked tired.
This was the first time he had ever seen Ye Liang laugh so loudly and heartily!
Ye Liang smiled and explained, "Xiao Ji, you didn't come to the wrong place. Li Ge'er's personality has changed; he can even make tofu now."
"His fried tofu puffs were so popular that they allowed him and the Ye family to earn dozens of coins every day!"
"..."
Jiang Ji was extremely surprised.
His slightly narrow eyes widened considerably.
Not only can this idiot make tofu, but he can also earn dozens of coins every day?
"Brother, brother! What the two brothers said is true. You should eat meat. This is what Brother Li bought this morning."
Jiang Mai wanted to give the half-eaten bone in her hand to her older brother.
The person washed his hair, and he was willing to speak well of them.
Moreover, as that person said, this wasn't exactly a compliment.
He was just telling the truth!
Jiang Mai's words surprised Jiang Ji once again.
The last time he went home, he saw that the idiot was hitting the wheat with a big stick, and he looked so fierce that it seemed like he was going to eat the wheat!
But what about the wheat now...?
At this moment, Jiang Ya had already dragged him to the kitchen door.
Ye Li was placing a bowl of bone broth on the dining table when she saw him standing at the door. She smiled and said, "Husband, it's time for bone broth."
"?"
Jiang Ji looked as if he had seen a ghost: "Are you possessed?"
Ye Li: "..."
His lips twitched, he put down the soup bowl, straightened up and glared at Jiang Ji, saying, "That's right, not only am I possessed, I also cast a curse on Xiaomaiya. Now they both listen to me. Are you scared?"
Jiang Ji: "..."
Now it was his turn to be speechless.
But I felt at ease.
Yes, that's how it should be.
Why did you call me "husband"? It startled him.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Ji, wash your hands and eat. You definitely didn't have lunch."
Ye Liang chuckled and tried to smooth things over.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mai immediately said, "Brother, I'll go get you some water to wash your hands."
He shoved the large bone into Jiang Ji's hand and turned to run toward the well.
As for using witchcraft or being obedient, well, if the idiot really changes, he won't expose him.
Jiang Ya had no idea what it meant to use Gu poison.
However, he is now willing to listen to Ye Li.
He looked up with a smile and said, "Brother, Brother Li is so good! He washed my and my second brother's hair, let me gnaw on big bones, and even paid my and my second brother!"
"One coin a day, my second brother and I have already saved fourteen coins!"
These words shocked Jiang Ji so much that he was speechless.
This is absolutely outrageous!
How could an incompetent person like him do such things?
But Ye Li gave Jiang Ya an approving look.
That's right. Although he's small, he's quite clear-headed and doesn't waste words; he gets straight to the point.
He then looked at Ye Liang.
Upon receiving his gaze, Ye Liangyi immediately spoke up: "Xiao Ji, Li Ge'er is going to fry tofu puffs later. Seeing is believing, he has really changed his ways."
"But we'll talk about that later. Xiaomai has brought the water. Wash your hands first, and let's sit down and eat while we talk."
"Big brother, wash your hands quickly!"
Jiang Mai ran over carrying a basin of water.
Jiang Ji's mind was in a state of confusion.
He washed his hands while listening to Jiang Ya's chatter.
Then he sat down at the table.
The bone broth in front of me was slightly white, with many oil droplets and a few red dates floating on the surface.
Besides the two bones, there were also quite a few corn kernels inside.
The rich aroma wafted straight into his nose, making him even hungrier.
He hadn't had lunch yet.
He has been feeling anxious and uneasy these days, worried that the idiot is abusing his two younger brothers.
He wanted to go home.
However, with his studies being demanding, the imperial examinations were his only way out, and he couldn't afford to neglect his studies.
He also had a job copying books, and if he missed the deadline, he would receive half the money.
More importantly, he had no good solution to the problem of the idiot abusing his brother.
After struggling with the decision for many days, he finally came up with a suitable solution last night.
He will be taking the imperial examination this fall, and before that, the idiot will return to the Ye family.
His two younger brothers went back to their second uncle's house.
If he were to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, thus fulfilling the expectations of the fool, he would force the fool to change his ways.
Moreover, he will not need to go to the private school every day; he can study at home.
With him at home, his two younger brothers would no longer be beaten.
If he fails the exam, he will not study anymore.
If a good-for-nothing can change his nature, then he'll just make do.
If he can't change, then he should divorce the good-for-nothing.
From then on, he and the Ye family were even.
With his status as a student of the Imperial Academy and his great strength, he farmed during the busy season and went to the county town to find work during the off-season. With his two younger brothers to support, he was never going to starve.
Once the thought appeared, it was impossible to stop it.
He tossed and turned until midnight, and when he woke up today, he asked his teacher for leave. He stayed in his dormitory to finish the book copying work he was doing, and then went to the bookstore to hand over the work and settle the account.
After leaving the bookstore, he hurried home.
He's going to send that good-for-nothing back to the Ye family today!
But given the current situation, his methods seem to be useless...
"Eat, why aren't you eating?"
Seeing that Jiang Ji was keeping his eyes down, not moving or speaking, Ye Liang urged him on.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Ji snapped out of his reverie, smiled at Ye Liang, and then picked up a spoon and took a sip of soup.
"It tastes good, doesn't it? Li Ge used to deliberately make the food taste bad because he was afraid that if his food tasted good, his father and father would make him cook for every meal."
Ye Liang smiled and explained why his third brother's cooking skills had improved so much.
Of course, this was just an excuse Ye Li used to fool the Ye family.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji turned his gaze to Ye Li, who was sitting opposite him.
His eyes held a clear suspicion.
Ye Li was gnawing on a bone.
Noticing her husband's gaze, she looked up.
Their eyes met.
Ye Li swallowed the meat in her mouth and said matter-of-factly, "Don't believe me? Fine, that's the truth."
Anyway, it's hard to explain.
He absolutely cannot show the slightest bit of guilt.
You have to adopt an annoying attitude of "believe it or not, it's up to you if you don't believe it."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Jiang Ji instantly lost any interest in investigating.
He looked away and focused on drinking his soup.
Ye Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This cheap husband of yours is clearly not someone to be fooled; don't dig too deep into his secrets.
To be honest, he still hasn't come up with a particularly reasonable explanation for why he suddenly knows how to make tofu.
Seeing this, Ye Liang advised, "Xiao Ji, Li Ge'er's temper has changed. He's very kind to Xiaomai and Ya Ge'er now."
"He hasn't known you for very long, and you two had a fight before, so he's a bit impatient with you."
"He's a guy, be more tolerant of him, don't hold it against him."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ji couldn't help but recall Ye Li's earlier words, "Husband, have some soup."
He unconsciously gripped the spoon in his hand tighter.
The fool wanted to reconcile with him.
But he immediately blurted out that he was possessed by an evil spirit...
He looked up at Ye Li.
As it turned out, Ye Li was also looking at him.
Their eyes met unexpectedly. Before he could decide how to react to Ye Lihe, Ye Lihe rolled her eyes at him and then lowered her head to continue gnawing on the big bone.
...
He touched his nose and lowered his eyes to drink his soup.
It's his fault.
