Chapter Seventy-One: Questioning
When it was dark, Shen Chengguang really returned to the village, and the old man Shen was very happy to see his eldest son come home, but he was worried about what happened when he came back from the town so late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why did Chengguang come home so late? Did you eat? The old woman went and see if there was any food in the pot! If not, hurry up and make some!"
"Where is there any leftovers, I'll go and get some egg noodles!" Shen Zhuang heard this and prepared to get off the kang.
"I've eaten it, so my mother doesn't have to work. I just went to bed last night and dreamed that my father and mother didn't cover the quilt when they slept, and I missed my father, so I went home to see. Recently, the weather has been a lot colder, and my father and mother remember to burn the kang warmer when they go to bed at night. Shen Chengguang hurriedly stopped Shen Zhuang's family.
"Dad knows, it's cold, don't worry. "The eldest son was worried that his father and mother would freeze when he fell asleep, it was really filial, and the smile on Old Man Shen's face bloomed into a chrysanthemum.
"Didn't the second child go to the south and haven't come back yet?" Shen Chengguang glanced at the east wing.
"No, it's almost time to listen to the second child's family. ”
"Where's the third child, at home, I'll go find the third and fourth children to have a glass of wine. Shen Chengguang was originally anxious, but seeing that Old Man Shen and Shen Zhuang's family had not mentioned that someone had come, he was a lot more settled.
"The third child was not at home, and he came to the room in the evening and said that he was going to go far away. I went out without dinner. ”
Hearing this, Shen Chengguang became nervous again, "Where are you going to go when you go far away?"
"Where can you go! Buy land and build a house, the stall is so big, go to work and make money! The third child and the third family have gone, saying that the wages over there are high! In the future, if the third child asks you to borrow money, you must not respond! When his house is built, he doesn't know how much money he owes!" Shen Zhuang was very dissatisfied, this Shen Chengyao used all the silver to buy land and build a house, so much silver, not a penny reached her pocket! If it weren't for the separation, the old man Shen pressed her, she would have made a fuss!
The day before yesterday, she went to the village to see the house, and she felt a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, she didn't believe that Shen Chengyao had the ability to build such a magnificent house. Originally, when she saw the house, she was angry that the third child did not give her the money to build the house, but then she thought of this, and now she is worried that the third family will come to ask her for silver!
It's really a 100-year-old adopted child, and I'm worried about ninety-nine! Shen Zhuang sighed in his heart!
If Xiao'er knew Shen Zhuang's thoughts, she would probably be able to laugh!
"Dad, have any strangers come to look for the third child today?"
Old man Shen was a little strange Shen Chengguang asked like this, and shook his head, "No, who will come to find the third child?
"Where does Dad want to go, how do I know who will come to find the third child, I just ......" Shen Chengguang's eyes rolled, "I just heard in the town that there are women from other counties who come to deceive people into mining private mines in the name of looking for short-term jobs, I'm worried that the third child is tricked!"
"Isn't it...... Yuzhu went to the West Wing to call a few children from the third family. Hearing this, Old Man Shen was also a little worried.
Shen Yuzhu reluctantly got off the kang and pouted her mouth. He yelled at the door of the upper room: "Jing Rui, Jing Hao, come to the upper room!"
Xiao'er heard a roar in the room and walked out, "Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?"
"Call your brother, your brother comes to the upper room, my father has something to ask you!" Shen Yuzhu glanced at Xiao'er, left a sentence and went back to the upper room.
At this time, Jing Rui and Jing Hao also came out, and the three of them glanced at each other and walked to the upper room.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, sister-in-law" The three of them greeted the four people on the kang together.
"Rui'er, Hao'er, come and sit on the kang, Xiao'er also sit!" Old Man Shen patted the position beside him.
Jing Rui and Jing Hao walked over and sat down, Xiao'er sat down in the position where she usually sits, Old Man Shen didn't ask himself to sit on the kang, and the kang in the upper room, except for Shen Yuzhu and Shen Bao'er, no other Shen family women were qualified to sit.
"Rui'er, how did your father know that there was work in other counties?"
"My uncle said, my uncle's shop was closed, so he went there to work for a few days, there was still a shortage of people, so he thought of his father, asked for leave and came back to call my father, and my uncle said that my mother's cooking was delicious, and there was a shortage of cooks, so he called my mother too. Xiao'er had already confessed with the two brothers.
"Did your uncle tell me what kind of work he did?"
"They went to repair a house for a big family, my uncle is a carpenter, my father is probably going to build a house, and my mother is going to cook!"
"Has a woman ever come to your father today?"
"Yes, Aunt Youfu has come to my father. ”
"I mean a strange woman. ”
Jing Rui shook his head, "No, my father and I have been in the new house all day, and we haven't seen any strangers coming, so why are strange women looking for my father?"
"I also walked around the village for a long time in the afternoon, and I didn't see a strange woman, so you don't have to worry. "The third uncle, he also knows that like the third family, he has a good heart, since he has already done it, it will not be wrong to come back and call Shen Chengyao.
"How could Uncle ask if there was a strange woman who came to my father?" Xiao'er looked directly at Shen Chengguang, her eyes seemed to be penetrating, and except for the person being watched, no one else would feel this way.
Shen Chengguang felt nervous inexplicably under Xiao'er's gaze, and avoided Xiao'er's gaze in a panic, "No, I'll just ask." ”
"Ask casually, you must ask a strange woman, can't you ask a strange man?"
Old Man Shen didn't like Xiao'er's attitude towards Shen Chengguang: "Your uncle heard in the town that a woman from another county came to trick people into mining private mines in the name of looking for a short-term job, and he was worried that your father asked, don't be ignorant of good people's hearts! Okay, since your father is fine, you can also go back to the West Wing." "When I saw it, I was troubled.
Xiao'er sneered in her heart, if she really regarded him as a good person, the whole family would still be helping him count the money when he was sold!
After listening to Old Man Shen's words, the three of them said goodnight to them and left the upper room.
Although Shen Chengguang was relieved a lot in his heart, he still felt faintly uneasy, he didn't find the woman, and if he solved this matter, he couldn't sleep well. He had to go back to town to discuss with the Lan clan.
"Dad, mother, you go to bed early, I have to open a shop tomorrow, go back to town first!"
"It's getting late, so I'll just go back early tomorrow. ”
"No, I still have to order today's account!" Shen Chengguang's voice came from outside the hospital.
"The boss is also hard, and he is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground. I don't think he's lost weight again. Old Man Shen looked at the figure of his eldest son and sighed.
Shen Yuzhu rolled her eyes, is it okay for her eldest brother to gain weight again!
The three siblings returned to the West Wing.
"Sister, did you say that Uncle believed it?" Jing Hao sat back at the table and began to practice calligraphy.
Xiao'er picked up the sewing basket and continued to work on making toys, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, we just want to see what he will do, and we want Dad to see his true face more clearly." ”
It's better not to believe, then he doesn't have to sleep well these days, and take his brother's daughter to make amends, he has slept peacefully for too many years.
"The weather seems to be getting more and more cold! Dad, is my mother in a hurry overnight?"
"Tianbai, will it snow these days?" Xiao'er heard this and asked in her heart.
"No!"
Fortunately, otherwise it would be troublesome to rush!
