I was the richest man in ancient times

Chapter 561
"Master Kang? Is it Master Kang?"

Not long after going out, the brothers met an old man in the village.

This old man, surnamed Niu, is almost seventy years old and the oldest person in the village. His family is also the tenant who rents the most land from the Cheng family.

Cheng Kang didn't recognize who it was.

"This is Uncle Niu, who used to work in our house."

Cheng Shun said.

"Oh! It's Uncle Niu! You must be seventy this year!"

With Cheng Shun's reminder, Cheng Kang immediately remembered it.

"Oh, what a master Kang! It's been more than 30 years, where have you been?"

Niu Lao said excitedly.

"Uncle Niu, something happened to me these years. Now that it's all right, I'll be right back. How has Uncle Niu been doing these years?"

Cheng Kang said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, I'm doing pretty well. It's just that Master Shun has suffered a lot these years. After you left, Master Kang, for so many years, Master Shun was still a..."

"Uncle Niu, I want to take my eldest brother to the grave of my parents, do you want to go together?"

Niu Lao was going to tell Cheng Kang how Cheng Shun survived, but Cheng Shun interrupted him.

"Okay, it's time to go see Master and Madam. You haven't come back for so many years, Master Kang, so Master and Madam must be thinking about it. I won't go together. I'll go and tell them that Master Kang is back! "

There were tears in Niu Lao's eyes.

He was the same age as Cheng Shun's parents, and had worked in Cheng Shun's family since he was a child. He was not a slave, but just helped Cheng's family with things.

Later, after growing up and getting married, he rented the Cheng family's land, and then Cheng Kang left. Cheng Shun didn't understand anything at the time, and Mr. Niu helped Cheng Shun a lot.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back..."

Niu Lao chanted this sentence excitedly and left.

When the two brothers met villagers later on, most of them didn't know Cheng Kang, only those who were about the same age as Cheng Shun recognized them, but there were not many of them.

Along the way, Cheng Kang tried to find a chance to talk to Cheng Shun, but Cheng Shun ignored him.

Soon, they came to the cemetery of their parents.

At the beginning, when the second elder died, the Cheng family still had family property, so their cemetery was very large and well repaired.

It's just that after more than 30 years, it is a bit old.

"Father, mother, the unfilial son is back!"

Cheng Kang came to the cemetery and knelt down in front of the grave.

Cheng Shun asked the two followers to put down the sacrifice, and then told them to go further away.

Cheng Kang knelt down and babbled about his experiences over the years, while Cheng Shun placed offerings, lit incense and candles, and of course, listened to his elder brother's experiences over the years.

Although Jiang and Cheng Yue told him something this morning, it was not as detailed as the person concerned himself.

Cheng Shun was also quite upset. If it wasn't for the deception of Gu's father and daughter, maybe Cheng Kang wouldn't have said that it took more than 30 years to remember it.

If Gu's father and daughter had really helped Cheng Kang find his family back then, the brothers would not have been separated for more than 30 years.

Cheng Shun even wondered if Gu's father and daughter actually found Xinghua Village at the time, but at that time they saw that he was not living well, looked down on their family, and didn't want him as a poor relative, so they did it on purpose.

This is really possible. According to Cheng Kang's narration, when he went to Dingzhou with Gu's father and daughter, he really had a bad time in Xinghua Village.

The eldest brother hasn't returned for two years, and he doesn't care about childbirth. If he hadn't been more ruthless later, he might not even be able to keep the last few dozen acres of land, or even marry a wife.
