The old woman turned and looked at the two of them, muttering to herself, "This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case. They clearly look like a loving couple, how could they be siblings?"
Tan Tai Si held Jiang Jingyu's hand: "Sister, are you feeling better?"
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'll go change my clothes first."
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Si hurriedly handed the bag to her. Jiang Jingyu was about to borrow the old woman's room when the old woman came over.
"Girl, go change in that room."
The old woman pointed to one of the rooms.
Jiang Jingyu smiled at the old woman and said, "Thank you, grandma."
It was really uncomfortable to be covered in sticky things. Jiang Jingyu took the bag and walked towards the room.
"Young man, go quickly. There's freshly boiled hot water in the kitchen. The wooden barrel over there was also made by my old man this morning. Pour some hot water for the girl to wipe herself."
As someone who had experienced this, the old woman could understand Jiang Jingyu's discomfort at the moment, and quickly ordered Tan Tai Si to get some water for her to wipe her body.
"Thank you, grandma."
Tan Tai Si responded and hurried to the kitchen as the old woman instructed.
Looking at the nimble Tan Tai Si, the old woman smiled with satisfaction and did not feel that the two's arrival was at all presumptuous.
After bringing the hot water into the room, Tan Tai Si came to the old woman who was weaving a bamboo basket.
"Mother-in-law, are you alone at home?"
The old woman handed him a bench and motioned for him to sit down. She explained, "My husband and I are the only two of us. Our children are all doing business in town. We like the quiet and peaceful environment, so we have been living here."
"My husband has gone up the mountain to collect herbs. When he comes back, he can check on the girl."
After hearing how Tan Tai Si addressed Jiang Jingyu, the old woman didn't dare to shout anymore, for fear of causing another misunderstanding.
But she was always confused, wondering how she could have been wrong.
The old woman thought about it and couldn't help but speak: "Young man, was that girl your sister?"
Tan Tai Si nodded.
The old woman smiled awkwardly: "I am an old woman with poor eyesight. I thought you two were a young couple!"
Tan Tai Si then realized that the old woman had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Grandma, you misunderstood, she is not my sister, we met on the road, she, she is..."
Tan Tai Si couldn't figure out how to explain their relationship to the old woman for a moment, but the old woman had already understood everything.
She looked at Tan Tai Si with a kind look and jokingly said, "She's your sweetheart, right?"
Tan Tai Si's ears flushed, but he didn't deny it: "Please, mother-in-law, keep this a secret for me."
The old woman laughed and said, "I was just saying, I've lived for most of my life, how could I be wrong about this matter? Don't worry, I won't tell that girl!"
Tan Tai Si scratched his head and smiled. Thinking of what the old woman had just said, he hurriedly pulled down the purse from his waist.
"Does grandma have brown sugar at home? I want to buy some from grandma."
The old woman feigned a slight anger and pushed the purse that Tan Tai Si handed over. "Why are you so awkward, kid? If you keep being polite to me, I'll be angry!"
It was not until Tan Tai Si took the purse back that the old woman regained her kind and gentle appearance.
"The brown sugar is in the sugar jar in the kitchen. Go and make a bowl for the little girl. The bowl is in the cupboard below."
"Thank you, grandma!"
Jiang Jingyu wiped herself and changed into a clean dress. When she opened the door to pour out the dirty water, she found Tan Tai Si standing outside the door with a bowl of brown sugar water.
The moment he saw her, Tan Tai Si showed his two small fangs.
"Sister, have a bowl of brown sugar water."
Jiang Jingyu's surprise was relieved when she saw the old woman in the yard.
She took the brown sugar water and was about to put it back into the house when Tan Tai Si followed her in.
"Asi!"
By the time Jiang Jingyu wanted to stop him, Tan Tai Si had already picked up the basin of red water.
"Sister, drink the sugar water first, I'll take care of the rest!"
After saying this, Tan Tai Si walked out carrying the wooden basin.
Jiang Jingyu: ╯□╰
After a while, Tan Tai Si came back and picked up the clothes that Jiang Jingyu had placed on the shelf without saying a word.
"Hey, Ah Si, come back!"
"Mother-in-law said that my sister can't touch cold water now, so just leave the washing to Ah Si!"
After Tan Tai Si finished speaking, he ran out with his clothes, choking Jiang Jingyu so much that she almost vomited out the brown sugar water she had just drunk two sips of!
He, he, he actually wanted to wash her menstrual blood!
Dong Ge stroked his chin with his little electric hand and analyzed carefully: "It seems that not only the uncle is caring, but the little brother is also good~"
"What we're saying is, Brother Dong has a really good eye for choosing male leads."
After seeing through the window that Tan Tai Si was squatting in the yard washing clothes for her, Jiang Jingyu couldn't help but smile.
——
Qingyun Village, meeting room.
The big boss and a group of brothers chased all the way, stopping to search every place where they could hide. However, they couldn't find the two people in the portrait after searching all the way.
He wasted two days on the road in vain, and finally had to return to the mountain village with a lot of anger.
bump--
The boss became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and he slammed his fist on the table in front of him!
Almost, just so close to catching them!
The brothers sitting at the conference table looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the boss sitting on the tiger-head chair.
"Boss, what should we do now? Should we continue investigating?"
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
The boss's eyes widened with anger and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Find an artist to copy the two portraits hundreds of times and post them everywhere. I'll reward anyone who can provide clues with one hundred taels of silver. Even if I have to chase them to the ends of the earth, I will bring them to me!"
"yes!"
"Dad, what happened to make you so angry? Tell me who you want to investigate. I'll help you find out. How about giving me a hundred taels of silver after I'm done?"
A young boy walked in nonchalantly, chewing an apple.
The eldest boss glared at the newcomer and shouted angrily, "Get out! How dare you, a little bastard, butt in on what the master is saying!"
The young man shrugged, obviously no longer surprised by the boss's hot temper.
"No wonder my mother left you to live down the mountain. Who could stand your temper?"
Snap——
The boss picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at the boy, who dodged to the side as if he had foreseen it.
"Dad, calm down, calm down!"
Seeing that the boss was serious, the young man hurriedly waved his hands to persuade him and hid behind one of the men.
"Uncle Hu, who are you investigating?"
The boy came up to the bearded man and asked him curiously.
The bearded man took the portrait beside him and handed it to the boy: "Here, these are the two people."
The boy took the portrait and his eyes suddenly widened when he saw the person in the portrait.
"Hey, this, this, aren't these the two people I met two days ago?!"
