Chapter 86: Chapter 86: If you don’t welcome me, why should I stay?
After over an hour of fuss, it was finally time to eat.
Qi Tianyu, starving, crazily scooped up his curry rice into his mouth.
While eating, he didn’t forget to evaluate himself.
“Damn, this curry is so good, yet those people only gave me five points.”
“You should be content,” Shu Yan said. “Keep talking, and both Young Master Jiang and Jiaojiao’s glares could bore holes through you.”
Qi Tianyu looked up and sure enough, he saw two resentful and indignant stares coming from not far away.
...
Qi Tianyu: “….”
He silently turned around with his bowl.
Meanwhile, Jiang Li left the dining table and went into the kitchen.
Just as everyone was wondering, they saw her carrying out a full basin of rice.
“You all have been working hard all morning, make sure to refuel with some carbs.”
Qi Tianyu was on the verge of tears, “Sister Li, how did you know I didn’t have enough rice? You even cooked so much in advance, that’s so thoughtful.”
[I’m dying of laughter, look at Qi getting all emotional over a basin of rice.]
[Wait, could the king that Jiang Li is supposed to protect be Qi? She seems really nice to him all day!]
Jiang Yan also laughed and went straight up with his empty bowl.
“I knew you wouldn’t let your own brother go hungry. Come on, fill it up.”
Jiang Li smiled with narrowed eyes, “Just eating white rice won’t do. I’ve got lots of fried tomato and eggs and some pickles too, want to pair it with those?”
Jiang Yan nodded like pounding garlic, “What are you waiting for then, hurry and bring it out.”
“Okay, keep helping me in the afternoon and I’ll keep you fed.”
Jiang Yan’s hand froze, “Damn, even now you want to take advantage of me?”
Jiang Li’s gaze shifted to his bowl full of rice, “Aren’t you taking advantage of me? Aunt Li gave me the rice, I cooked it, and I made the dishes. What, you want to eat for free?”
Jiang Yan: “I….”
Qi Tianyu, from the side, snickered gleefully.
Good thing he wasn’t Jiang Li’s real brother.
His treatment was even worse than a stranger’s. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Looking at his own empty, protesting stomach for hours, Jiang Yan caved.
“I’ll help you with the work.”
After all, they had already cleared the grass from the field.
He didn’t believe there could be any grueling farm work left in the afternoon.
Exchanging a bit of labor for food was worth it.
So, they all sat around the small table and started happily enjoying the satisfying meal.
He Yun also filled his bowl with rice, and then moved half the fish from his own plate to Jiang Li’s.
“I can’t finish this fish by myself, let me share half with you as a thank you for teaching me how to cook.”
Qi Tianyu’s eyes widened, “Damn, Brother He, you are so generous.”
He then felt he couldn’t be outdone and served some of his untouched curry beef to Jiang Li.
“Brother He did this, so if I don’t show some gratitude, it’d be wrong.”
“Exactly,” Shu Yan also shared some Zhajiang noodles, “If it weren’t for Xiao Li’s sweet potato flower, I doubt I could have scored as much.”
Soon, Jiang Li’s plate gathered various colorful foods.
[Wow, these people are so heartwarming, it makes me feel all warm inside.]
[I thought this show would be a battleground of celebrities with scandals, who knew it would turn into a harmonious rural variety show?]
