Jiang Siqian was carrying a bag of salt in the salt shop. After a while, he was drenched in sweat. His pants were soaked in sweat, and it was extremely uncomfortable when it touched his body, like ants crawling on his body.

At that time, there were no electric fans and air conditioning. Even if foreigners had them, they were only suitable for the aristocrats in Beijing to enjoy. Ordinary people did not have such treatment at all. They could only pick up their own big cattail leaf fans and fan themselves.

Families with good economic conditions, such as masters, madams, young masters, or young ladies, could spend money to hire people to stand beside them and fan themselves. It was considered an artificial fan. The wind power and durability were not as good as an electric fan, but it could relieve the heat and fatigue for a moment.

Jiang Siqian did not have the fortune of being a master. He could only do it himself. He picked up the cattail leaf fan and fanned himself. He tore off his coat and threw it on the chair beside him. Fortunately, Li Shengfang was not beside him, so he was not embarrassed.

However, he did not think that Li Shengfang would care that he was topless. There was no secret between their bodies. Even if he was topless, Li Shengfang would only giggle and touch his body with her hands.

When the two of them were dating, Li Shengfang liked to reach out and touch his entire body. She even made surprised sounds from her mouth. It seemed that she had never seen a man's body. Wasn't her husband, Zhou Xueti, a man? Jiang Siqian often thought so when she touched him.

At the same time, he felt that Li Shengfang was pitiful. A seemingly wealthy woman with a rich husband could not satisfy the simple desire of a man in her heart. She had no choice but to lower her status and seduce men like a prostitute.

Of course, Jiang Siqian did not know that because the Qing government deliberately suppressed the normal physiological desires of women, many normal women could not enjoy the true pleasure of women in their lives. Even some middle-aged widows who lost their husbands could not have the right to choose a second husband. They could only experience emotional and physical torture alone in the world of women.

Although it was very hot, Jiang Siqian didn't dare to take off his pants. He only wore a pair of shorts to move around in the shop. He was afraid that Li Shengfang would come and bump into each other. If Zhou Xueren saw it, or if the village's busybodies found out, they would exaggerate it and spread it everywhere. He and Li Shengfang would find it difficult to raise their heads in the village.

Perhaps, this salt shop business would also be ruined. Without the salt shop business, Jiang Siqian felt that he wouldn't be able to make a living in this life.

However, when he was disheartened, he heard that the Taiping Army was in trouble. Perhaps he would sneak into the army to rebel. He might even become king and prime minister.

After he took off his coat, he fanned himself with a cattail leaf fan and looked at the salt bags in the room. He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. He felt that everything in life was difficult. In short, it was difficult to earn money from ordinary people, but it was more comfortable for an old man like Snowman Zhou.

Thinking of Zhou Xueren, Jiang Siqian was angry. They were all the same people. Why could he reap without sowing? He and the majority of the villagers had to work hard, so how could they not earn the same living conditions as him?

He couldn't think of an answer and could only attribute it to the bad times. The Qing government was only standing on Zhou Xueren's side and didn't care about the lives of ordinary people like him. In addition, Zhou Xueren's relatives were in the officialdom and could be considered to have a background. A small person like him only had the life of sticking his butt out and working hard.

However, when he thought of the romantic relationship between him and Li Shengfang, he felt a little comforted. He gave Zhou Xueren a green hat as a way to repay his financial greed.

Therefore, in this way, Jiang Siqian did not feel that he was at a disadvantage. It was easy for rural people to regard cuckolds as important as money. Under the influence of masculinity, women were often treated as objects like money. A woman losing her virginity seemed to be a loss of money.

Jiang Siqian calculated that his relationship with Li Shengfang had indeed brought him wealth. Without Li Shengfang's help, it was unlikely that the salt sales business would fall on his head.

Jiang Siqian thought that this business was hard to come by. He didn't want to lose it easily. He was strong by nature. Although his ancestors didn't pass down thousands of wealth like Zhou Xue's family, he couldn't bear to live in poverty.

He also wanted to have the same financial status as Snowman Zhou and enjoy the pleasure of being successful financially. He even thought that once he became rich, his reputation would definitely be better than Snowman Zhou's, and he would become one of the richest and kind-hearted people in Xikou Village.

Jiang Siqian felt that people with money and a good reputation were living the life of a true celebrity. They couldn't be like Zhou Xuetian, who only had a good economy but no good reputation. The life of a rich person couldn't be happy every day. It was really a waste of sacred silver.

Jiang Siqian was thinking about the future while slowly shaking the fan in his hand. The fatigue and fantasy made him forget the things in front of him. He didn't know that Li Shengfang was standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.

Li Shengfang saw Jiang Siqian bare his upper body, sitting on the chair and fanning himself, thinking that he had finished his work. He quickly looked up at everything in the shop, but he saw that there were still salt bags that were not neatly placed on the ground. He couldn't help but be angry and complained that he didn't give her face.

In addition, Jiang Siqian was topless, which damaged her image. Just now, she had earned enough moral image in front of Ren Huaming for not wearing a shirt, but now she had to face the problem of not wearing a shirt again. Moreover, Jiang Siqian and her had been implanted in the hearts of outsiders, which made Li Shengfang angry.

She opened her mouth and almost cursed Jiang Siqian. She used the most unpleasant words to hurt him so that he would remember. With his family background, now was not the time to enjoy comfort. He had to work hard to fight for an economic sky.

However, Jiang Si Qian didn't care about his image at the moment. He didn't care about her face as a woman. He was topless and leisurely waving his fan. He didn't have the ambition that a man should have. It disappointed her and even made her feel cheated.

So, she couldn't help but shout at Jiang Siqian, what do you want? Do you still want to do business? If you don't want to earn money, go home and sleep. Don't be an eyesore here and cause trouble.

Her shout startled Jiang Siqian. He couldn't help but turn his head to stare at the door. He saw Li Shengfang's angry eyes, wishing she could swallow him.

Jiang Siqian felt guilty. He was really afraid that Li Shengfang would lose her temper and not care about his man's face at all. Not only would she lose her job, but even her previous relationship as husband and wife would be like a cold wind, frozen in the eternal memory, leaving only a deep scar.

Of course, he was more afraid that Li Shengfang would be angry and desperate, and interpret the story between them as the crime of a man raping a woman. This would make the furious Zhou Xueren want to kill Jiang Siqian and use all despicable means to harm him.

Therefore, because of fear, Jiang Siqian almost knelt on the ground and gave up all his dignity as a man. He cried to Li Shengfang and said that he was focused on business. It was only because he was tired and stuffy that he had to take off his shirt to enjoy the cool. He happened to be bumped into by her. He hoped that she would forgive him. He had an old family and a young family. His family did not live like a human. He relied on himself to fight for the economy. He could not lose his job and hurt his money.

However, when he suddenly saw Ren Huaming's figure at the door, he was even more shocked. He was worried that his affair with Li Shengfang would be exposed, so he could only straighten his back and pretend that nothing had happened. He asked Li Shengfang if the plaque was ready.

Li Shengfang glanced at Ren Huaming from the corner of her eyes. Her brain quickly turned. She knew that it was not the time to reprimand Jiang Siqian. She quickly took advantage of Jiang Siqian's question and said that the plaque needed to be size. She called Ren Huaming to measure the plaque.

Jiang Siqian greeted Ren Huaming and put on his coat. The heat on the coat made him uncomfortable. He couldn't help but frown, but he held it in and squeezed out a natural smile on his face. He hoped that Ren Huaming would be shrouded in the illusion of laughter and only put his heart on the measuring plaque. He didn't think about him and Li Shengfang at all.
