Chapter 42: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest?

The shopkeepers, merchants, and laborers of the wharf returned satisfied, and many of the work at the wharf began to run again...

Ning Hongwu was very satisfied with this, and seeing that it was almost noon, he waved his hand to add a few more meat dishes to the canteen on the dock, and bought some drinks to drink together.

At the dinner table, Liu Shen also showed his arithmetic talent, and took advantage of everyone's drinking to make the various accounts of the dock in recent months clear.

A group of bosses in the Qingsha Gang didn't have any special feelings, they just thought, 'This kid seems to have something, and there seems to be a lot of things'.

Only Ning Hongwu felt more and more that he had picked up a treasure, and his attitude towards Liu Shen became closer and closer, and he had the intention of treating him as a confidant and cultivating him well.

There are also many people at the wine table who see this, or eat it, or toast ridiculously...

And Liu Shen also did not refuse to come, drinking happily with others, and occasionally brought out the matter of Qian Yousheng drilling under the table to ridicule a few words, and the atmosphere was even more lively...

Until the evening, Ning Hongwu and the middle-level members of the Qingsha Gang returned to their respective halls, and confidently handed over the affairs of the dock to Feng Jun and Liu Shen to deal with.

It's been a busy day...

On the second day, Liu Shen called Hu Dahai and Shen Hu and asked them to serve as the leaders of the laborers.

The team leader doesn't need to do anything, just supervise the labor step by step, and occasionally take someone to do some private work and earn some extra money, which is a real fat shortage...

Hu Dahai and Shen Hu were moved to tears, and the one 'Brother Shen' called was sincere.

It's just that Liu Shen can feel that there is respect and fear hidden in their words...

From 'Brother Shen'er to 'Brother Shen', the porter who was working and chatting together a few days ago has invisibly produced a pathetic diaphragm due to the gap in identity...

Liu Shen looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and sighed melancholy.

Thinking that he hadn't gone to Chengnan to find a young grandmother to enhance his relationship for a few days, he was panicked, and there was nothing to do, so he said to Feng Jun and went out.

When I arrived at Tongda Hall, I couldn't help but have some doubts when I saw that Yuan Xiaofei and Dr. Zhang were not in the medical hall...

And the old shopkeeper of Tongdatang also knew that he was friends with the young grandmother, and seeing that he didn't seem to know what was going on, he hurriedly came over.

"Liu Gongzi, the old man has been seriously ill in bed in recent days, and the young grandmother has not come here recently, and the old doctor Zhang is consulting the old man at the Song family, and Yuan Xiaofei also went to help."

"Master Song is seriously ill?"

Liu Shen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked with a frown: "When did it happen?" ”

"About four or five days ago."

The old shopkeeper sighed and explained: "Doctor Zhang said that it was because the young master left early, and the old man became ill, so his health is getting worse, and the old man is getting older, I am afraid that this hard work has been boiled dry..."

"This ......"

Liu Shen's heart suddenly burst when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the shopkeeper's advice." ”

After that, he walked out of the door of Tongda Hall and went to Song's house.

On the last trip to the Song family, Liu Shen learned that Master Song obviously hated him very much, but he still really helped him understand the use of 'potential'.

As far as Chong is concerned, he still respects Master Song very much.

But he's also a good-looking man...

After knowing that Master Song hated him, he never went to Song's house again, annoying people;

did not take the initiative to provoke the ambiguous relationship with Pei Xueyan...

But putting aside this 'face' factor, Liu Shen is Pei Xueyan's friend, and he is also a junior of the rivers and lakes under the guidance of Master Song, and now that he knows that Master Song is seriously ill in bed, he should go to visit him!

And listening to the meaning of the old shopkeeper of Tongdatang, most of the old man Song ran out of oil and the lamp dried up, so he was about to leave, and he had to visit him as a junior!

Just arrived in front of Song's house...

The guards outside the door saw that Liu Shen had the intention of coming to the door, so they stopped him and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"My surname is Liu..."

Liu Shen frowned slightly and glanced at the two, and said, "It's a friend of your young grandmother, I heard that Master Song is seriously ill and came to visit, and I hope you two will report it." ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them said 'let me pass it on' and ran into the Song family's mansion.

After a while, the man came back again, and Xiao Yuhong behind him greeted him with a smile after seeing Liu Shen, waving his little hand and calling: "Brother Shen, here..."

"Can I go in?"

Liu Shen saw that the guard nodded, and followed Xiao Yuhong into the Song family's mansion.

Xiao Yuhong glanced around, and said in a suppressed voice: "Brother Shen, you haven't been looking for the young grandmother these days, and the young grandmother has been talking about you." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Shen was shocked when he heard this, and explained with a smile: "Brother Shen has been delayed in the past few days, so if you don't deal with it, you will find it immediately." ”

As he spoke, he rubbed Xiao Yuhong's head and asked softly, "Tell Brother Shen, why does the young grandmother talk about me?" ”

"The old man is seriously ill and has been in bed for several days......"

Xiao Yu Hong said embarrassedly: "Young grandma is very busy at home, and she complained to me last night, saying that when you are needed the most, you are not here." ”

“……”

Liu Shen said curtly: "There was an accident at the dock a few days ago, and I really couldn't come, so I rushed over as soon as I was free." ”

"Then I don't care..."

Xiao Yuhong smiled narrowly and quipped, "Brother Shen, you have to talk to the young grandmother about this." ”

“……”

Liu Shen sighed, changed the topic and asked, "When I came last time, there were no guards outside the Song family, this is from the young grandmother?" ”

"That's not it..."

Xiao Yuhong glanced around again, and saw that there was no talent around, and explained softly: "In the past few days, many people have come to the Song family to visit the old man, and even the young grandmother's family has come, and those guards were brought by the young grandmother's family. ”

"Young grandma's maiden family?"

Liu Shen frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Why did they come to the Song family too?" ”

He has been friends with Pei Xueyan for half a year, and he has a great relationship, and he knows what Pei Xueyan's original family situation is.

The Pei family was originally a merchant in Xiyang County next door, and their family background was also quite solid.

The Pei family's parents are patriarchal, and Pei Xueyan, as the third daughter in the family, is naturally not valued, especially after the birth of her younger brother, she is even more marginalized...

A few years ago, the Pei family's business went wrong, and the head of the Pei family asked someone to tell the fortune of the house, and the fortune teller said that it was because of Pei Xueyan's numerology.

At that time, the son of the Song family was in his prime, and the old man Song tried his best to recruit his son's marriage, and the head of the Pei family was overjoyed when he heard the news and sold Pei Xueyan to the Song family.

It's selling, not marrying!

Old Man Song gave the Pei family a bride price and eliminated a sum of the Pei family's account, but the Pei family did not marry at all, and even Pei Xueyan herself laughed at herself for being sold into the Song family...

Xiao Yuhong looked around and said softly: "Young grandma's father, mother, and younger brother are still living in Song Mansion, they say that their father-in-law is seriously ill, and they are all members of their own family, so they live here to help take care of young grandma and Master Song." ”

"Your own family?"

Liu Shen sneered slightly when he heard this, and he faintly had a little guess in his heart...

Pei Xueyan has been in the Song family for nearly two years, and she has not seen her mother's family from the next county come to visit;

And now that Mr. Song is seriously ill and dying, the so-called mother's family is kind enough to visit? Do you want to stay in the Song family to take care of Pei Xueyan and Old Man Song?

Sake red face, wealth and silk are moving...

The Song family later moved to Heyang County to settle down, and after the death of Master Song's only son, the Song family's huge family business had no heir, and the only one who could inherit the family business was Pei Xueyan, the daughter-in-law with a foreign surname!

Now that the old man Song is seriously ill and his time is running out, seeing that Pei Xueyan is about to be the master of the house, the Pei family came to visit the sold daughter, and began to claim to be his own family...

The Pei family didn't come early, they didn't come late, but they came at this time, if they wanted to say that their trip was not for this huge Song family's business, the dogs didn't believe it!

"Brother Shen..."

Xiao Yuhong muttered timidly: "I don't like the young grandmother's mother's family, I always feel that they are weird." ”

"Heh..."

Liu Shen knew that she was still young and didn't understand the complexity of human nature, so she rubbed her little head and smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Shen doesn't like it either." ”

“……”
