Chapter 16: People in the Old Cowshed



Yu Jiankang was originally thinking about how to tactfully reject his daughter without hurting her sincerity, but when he heard his wife's suggestion, he thought it made sense: "Alright, it just so happens that the teachers haven't met them yet, I'll take them to meet them."

Yu Jin couldn't help but look forward to it. She suspected that the boy from before should be in the old cowshed.

It just so happened that the pig farm was close to the old cowshed, so Yu Jiankang put on a backpack and planned to carry the two sisters there.

Yu Jin refused his father's hand: "Dad, I'm a big boy now. I like to walk on my own."

She was an adult after all, and although she missed being treated like a child, her shyness prevailed, and she didn't want her father to work too hard.

Seeing that she was unwilling, Yu Jiankang did not force her. He asked her to tell him when she was tired and not to be afraid to say it.

Then he asked Yu Li: "Our Yu Yu won't refuse to let daddy hug him, right?"

Hehe, Yu Li didn't feel embarrassed at all. No matter what she was before, she was now a baby! She felt at ease being held in her arms!

In fact, she had no feet for hundreds of years and was not used to walking on her feet, so she preferred a means of transportation.

So she stretched out her hands without any burden, which made Yu Jiankang laugh out loud: "Our Yu Yu really gives face."

Li Shuli was a little worried: "Yuyu just learned to stand up recently. She walked for a long time today. I hope she's okay."

Mothers are always more attentive and worried too much. Yu Jiankang advised, "It's never a bad thing to walk more. Don't worry. Besides, do you think Yuyu will tire herself out? She's very smart."

If the villagers heard this, they would definitely sneer at him. Yu Li was still a little fool not long ago.

Yu Jiankang held Yu Li in one hand and held Yu Jin's hand in the other as they walked towards the old cowshed.

This is a remote corner, surrounded by desolate and bare land, with no sign of human habitation.

After walking for a while, I found a dilapidated cowshed in front of me. It was made of wood and stood there trembling, as if it would be blown over by a strong wind.

It was the first time Yu Jin saw the old cowshed. He had only heard that people were not allowed to get close to this place.

Seeing their situation with my own eyes, I couldn't help but worry about the people inside. When I got closer, I heard a strong cough coming from inside.

Yu Jiankang frowned and walked in anxiously with his two daughters.

In the dim light inside, I could vaguely see several people surrounding a person.

Yu Jiankang put Yu Li down and stepped forward to ask, "What's going on? Why are you coughing so badly?"

An old man asked in surprise: "Jiankang, why did you come here in broad daylight? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Let's re-divide the work. I've been assigned to the fish farm, which is close to you. It will be very convenient for me to come here in the future. Anyway, Teacher, why is Mr. Sheng coughing more than before?"

"Even if you're close, don't come here so often. If someone finds out, not only will you be implicated, but what about your family and children?" The old woman who spoke was his mistress Wen Min.

The first old man to speak was his mentor Song Runhuai. He sighed and said: "Old Sheng has sinned before. His body is weak and he has been possessed by evil spirits."

Song Runhuai and Wen Min are a couple. Both are high school teachers in the county. They were reported by someone with ulterior motives because of their activities.

Fortunately, they were assigned to Yu Jiankang's production team, who helped them secretly. Although it was difficult, they did not suffer any physical pain.

Yu Jiankang felt relieved and said with a smile, "This is not a big problem. Didn't Xiao Sheng tell you? We found the mallet, which is just right for Elder Sheng and the teachers to supplement."

Sheng Yiwan, who was taking care of the coughing old man, couldn't help but say, "This...Brother Jiankang, I'm so sorry."

But her eyes were filled with hope and embarrassment, and she couldn't say no.

She is the daughter of Mr. Sheng Huaibo and has always been worried about her father's health. She knows very well that her father will get better as long as he recuperates and replenishes his energy.

But their current situation did not allow for that, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

After coughing for a long time and finally feeling better, Sheng Huaibo reluctantly refused: "Forget it, I won't waste my old bones. Jiankang, I appreciate your kindness."

Sheng Yiwan was a little anxious after hearing this: "Dad! You are digging my heart out! Have you not forgiven me yet?"

Her father's misfortune was caused by her ex-husband. She never expected that her closest partner would want her to break up with her father for the sake of profit.

Of course she wouldn't agree, and as a result, her father was reported as soon as she divorced her ex-husband.

She hated herself for falling in love with such a man, which caused her upright father to suffer this fate.

Sheng Huaibo patted her hand and comforted her, "Awan, it's not your fault."

The old man sitting in the corner said sarcastically: "It has come to this, and you are still pretending to be noble."

Although the old man's words were unpleasant, he was actually Sheng Huaibo's long-time friend Qi Gangzhao. He and Mr. Sheng were both university professors in Beijing.

He has a weird temper, but he's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. People who don't know him might misunderstand him, but everyone here has been around him for a long time and has learned to filter his words.
