Chapter 71 Questioning
When it was completely dark, Shen Chengguang returned to the village as expected. Mr. Shen was very happy to see his eldest son come home, but worried about what happened to him coming back from town so late.

"Why did Chengguang come home so late? Have you eaten yet? The old lady, go and see if there is any food in the pot! If not, hurry up and make some!"

"Where is there any leftover food, I'll go get some egg noodles!" After hearing this, Mrs. Shen Zhuang prepared to get off the kang.

"I've eaten, mother doesn't need to work. I just slept last night and dreamed that my parents didn't cover the quilt. I missed my parents, so I went home to have a look. The weather has been colder recently, father! Remember when you sleep at night Heat the kang warmer." Shen Chengguang hastily stopped Shen Zhuangshi.

"Father knows, it won't be cold, don't worry." The eldest son was worried that his parents would be frozen when he fell asleep, he was so filial, the smile on Old Man Shen's face even blossomed into a chrysanthemum.

"Did the second one go to the south and not come back yet?" Shen Chengguang glanced at the East Wing.

"No, listen to what the second family said soon."

"Where's the third child? Let's go home. I'll go find the third and fourth child for a drink." Shen Chengguang was anxious at first, but seeing that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen Zhuang didn't mention that anyone had been there, he felt a lot more at ease.

"The third child is not at home. He came to the room in the evening and said that he would go on a long trip. He went out without eating dinner."

After hearing this, Shen Chengguang became nervous again, "Going far away, where are you going? Did someone come looking for him?"

"Where can I go! Buy land and build a house with such a big stall, and go to work to make money! The third child and the family of the third child have all gone, saying that the wages paid there are high! Don't answer! He doesn't know how much money he will owe when the house is built!" Shen Zhuang was very dissatisfied, this Shen Chengyao spent all his money on land and building a house, so much money, not a penny went to her pocket !If the family hadn't been separated, and Mr. Shen was suppressing her, she would have had a quarrel long ago!
She went to the village to see the house the day before yesterday, and felt a little uncomfortable. At the same time, she did not believe that Shen Chengyao was capable of building such a grand house.At first when she saw the house, she was angry that the third child didn't give her the money for building the house, but after thinking about it, now she was worried that the third child's family would come and ask her for the money!
It's really raising a child to be a hundred years old, worrying about 99 years!Shen Zhuang sighed in his heart!
If Xiao'er knew Shen Zhuang's thoughts, she would probably burst out laughing!
"Father, did any stranger come to see the third child today?"

Old man Shen was a little surprised by Shen Chengguang's question, and shook his head, "No, who will come to look for the third child? You came back for this matter?"

"Where does dad want to go, how do I know who will come to find the third child, I just..." Shen Chengguang rolled his eyes, "I just heard in the town that there are women from other counties who deceive people in the name of looking for short-term labor Going to mine a private mine, I'm worried that the third child has been tricked!"

"That's not right... Yuzhu, go to the West Wing and call the children from the third family." Hearing this, Old Man Shen was also a little worried.

Shen Yuzhu reluctantly got off the kang, pouting all the time.He yelled at the door of the upper room: "Jing Rui, Jing Hao, come to the upper room!"

Xiao'er heard the roar in the room and came out, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Call your brother, your brother is coming to the upper room, my father has something to ask you!" Shen Yuzhu glanced at Xiao'er, left a word and went back to the upper room.

At this moment, Jing Rui and Jing Hao also came out, and the three of them looked at each other before heading 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, and Xiao'er sits too!" Mr. Shen patted the seat beside him.

Jing Rui and Jing Hao walked over and sat down. Xiao'er sat down in the place where she usually sat under the kang. Mr. Shen didn't ask herself to sit on the kang, and there was no other Shen family on the kang in the upper room except Shen Yuzhu and Shen Baoer. Women are eligible to sit.

"Rui'er, how did your father know that there are jobs in other counties?"

"My uncle said that the shop where my uncle worked was closed, so he went to work there for a few days. There was still a shortage of people there, so he thought of Dad. He wanted to call Dad when he came back from leave, but my uncle said that I Mother's cooking is delicious, and there is a shortage of cooks there, so I called my mother too." Xiao'er had already shared a statement with the two brothers.

"Did your uncle ever tell you what kind of work it was?"

"They are going to repair a house for a rich family. My uncle is a carpenter. My father will probably build the house, and my mother will cook!"

"Did a woman come to see your father today?"

"Yes, Aunt Fu came to see my parents."

"I mean the strange woman."

Jing Rui shook his head, "No, my father and I have been at the new house all day long, and we haven't seen any strangers coming. Besides, 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 any strange women. You don't have to worry." The uncle of the third brother also knows that, just like the third family, he has good intentions. Since he has done it before, he will come back If it's called Shen Chengyao, you can't be wrong.

"Why would uncle ask if any strange women came to see my father?" Xiao'er looked directly at Shen Chengguang, her eyes seemed to have penetrating power, and except for the person being watched, no one else would feel this way.

Under Xiao'er's gaze, Shen Chengguang felt inexplicably nervous, and flusteredly avoided Xiao'er's sight, "No, I'll just ask casually."

"Ask casually, you must ask a strange woman, can't you ask a strange man?"

Mr. Shen didn't like Xiao'er's attitude towards Shen Chengguang: "Your uncle heard in the town that women from other counties cheated people to mine private mines in the name of finding short-term labor. He asked because he was worried about your father. You don’t know good people! Well, since your father is fine, you can go back to the West Wing too.” Seeing this made her upset.

Don't know good people?Xiao'er sneered in her heart, if she really regarded him as a good person, the whole family would still count the money for him after being sold!
After hearing Mr. Shen's words, the three of them said good night to them and left the upper room.

Although Shen Chengguang was relieved a lot, he still felt faintly uneasy. He couldn't sleep well if he didn't find that woman and solve the matter.He had to go back to town to discuss with Lan's.

"Father, mother, go to bed early, I have to open the shop tomorrow, so I'm going back to town first!" After speaking, she left in a hurry.

"It's getting so late, it's fine to go back early tomorrow."

"No, I still have to order today's account!" Shen Chengguang's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"The boss is also working hard. He is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground every day. I think he seems to have lost weight again." Mr. Shen looked at the figure of the eldest son and sighed.

Shen Yuzhu rolled her eyes, her elder brother gained a little weight again, okay!
The three brothers and sisters returned to the West Wing.

"Sister, did you say 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 whether you believe it or not, we just wanted to see what he would do and let Dad see his true face more clearly."

It's better not to believe, then he won't have to sleep well these few days, and take his brother's daughter to make amends, he has slept peacefully for too many years.

"The weather seems to be getting colder and colder! Father, mother, are you traveling overnight?"

"Tianbai, will it snow these few days?" Xiao'er asked in her heart after hearing this.

"will not!"

Fortunately, otherwise it would be troublesome to travel!
