When Shen Anan and the others went out, they saw that it was the Zhou family members who had robbed the food before.
The leader, the eldest brother of the Zhou family, was holding a bag in his hand, followed by several followers. They were shouting and yelling all the way and went straight to Uncle Shen's house.
Shen Anan frowned, knowing that nothing good would happen if they came over, and took a step forward to stand in front of Uncle Shen.
"What are you going to do?"
Boss Zhou glanced at Shen Anan and sneered, "What are you doing? I heard that Uncle Shen's family was in trouble, so we are here to help!"
"That's right! We are here to help out of kindness, please be polite!"
However, Shen Anan knew that these people were just like weasels paying New Year's greetings to chickens, and they had no good intentions.
"We appreciate your kindness. But we can handle Uncle Shen's family affairs ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it." Shen Anan said bluntly.
Boss Zhou was embarrassed after being rebuked by Shen Anan. His face darkened: "Don't be shameless. We in the Zhou family came to help out of kindness because we are relatives, and you treat us like this?!"
However, the next moment, Boss Zhou seemed to remember something, his expression changed, he turned around, picked up the toolbox and carried the ladder, looking like he was ready to work.
Shen Anan and Uncle Shen were completely confused and kept wondering: What is this about?
"Uncle Shen, oh! I heard that the roof of your house was blown off by the typhoon. We are relatives, so I came to help." Boss Zhou said with a smile on his face, but to Shen Anan, this smile was uglier than crying.
Hearing this, Uncle Shen was also stunned. He touched his head and felt confused: "This... How can I be so embarrassed?"
Shen Anan, who was standing aside, frowned. She didn't believe that the Zhou family would be so kind, but she couldn't say much at the moment. She could only watch them climb up and down and start repairing the roof.
The Zhou family was quite skillful, and several grown men started working on the roof, with the sounds of hammers hitting and nails colliding. After a while, they had actually patched up the hole!
Shen Anan and Mr. Shen's old couple just stared at it stupidly. They couldn't figure out what the Zhou family was up to.
After the roof was repaired, the Zhou family was really unambiguous. They took out some food from the bag they brought and stuffed it into Uncle Shen's hand: "Uncle Shen, this is a little gift from us, please accept it."
Uncle Shen was stunned. He looked at the food in his hand at a loss, then looked at the Zhou family, and stammered, "How...how can this be done?"
Boss Zhou smiled and waved his hand: "Uncle Shen, please don't be polite. We are all family, and it is only right for us to help each other."
Shen Anan looked at the polite appearance of the Zhou family, full of doubts, she always felt that this matter was not that simple.
But now that they had really helped, she couldn't say anything more.
After the Zhou family left, Shen Anan and Uncle Shen stood in the yard, looking at each other. Uncle Shen shook his head and sighed: "Did the Zhou family take the wrong medicine today?"
As soon as night fell, the Zhou family came again, this time holding a few ears of cooked corn in their hands, which were steaming hot and the fragrance went straight into the nose. Grandpa Shen and his wife were sitting on the kang, watching the Zhou family's sudden action, feeling puzzled.
Boss Zhou held out the corn with a smile on his face. He said, "Uncle Shen, this is what we grew ourselves. It wasn't destroyed by the typhoon. Please try it. It tastes really good."
Uncle Shen took the corn, but his brows were tightly knitted. He looked at Boss Zhou, wondering, "What's the matter with you guys? You're so polite. I feel uneasy."
Hearing this, Boss Zhou chuckled and rubbed his hands: "Uncle Shen, we don't have anything to do. We just want to ask, do you know the whereabouts of Shen Xiuxiu?"
Shen Anan was listening nearby, and she understood clearly in her heart. Now she understood that the Zhou family's kindness was directed at Shen Xiuxiu. Shen Anan could see what Boss Zhou was thinking. He failed to marry Shen Xiuxiu before, and this time he must have heard some rumors, so he was so concerned about Uncle Shen's family.
When Uncle Shen heard Boss Zhou asking about Shen Xiuxiu, his face changed: "Boss Zhou, don't worry about Xiuxiu's affairs. I don't even know where she is!"
After hearing this, Boss Zhou's smile faded a little, but he still didn't give up: "Uncle Shen, please think about it again. Shen Xiuxiu is my sweetheart. I'm so worried."
"I have no idea!"
Uncle Shen turned his face away.
He is telling the truth, why don't you believe it?
Boss Zhou had a smile on his face, but when he heard Uncle Shen say that he didn't know the whereabouts of Shen Xiuxiu, his expression immediately darkened. He threw the corn in his hand onto the table, and his voice became colder: "Uncle Shen, what do you mean? You really don't know about Xiuxiu's affairs?"
Uncle Shen frowned, "I really don't know anything about Xiuxiu. Where is she? How can I know?"
However, Boss Zhou snorted coldly, with a threatening tone in his voice: "Uncle Shen, you have to think it over carefully. If Xiuxiu doesn't come back, you have to return the betrothal money to us."
When Uncle Shen heard this, he was so angry that he trembled: "Boss Zhou, what are you talking about? Isn't the food you have used in the past few years enough to compensate for the betrothal gift that Xiuxiu took away?!"
"Uncle Shen, I'm going to make this clear today. Either hand over Shen Xiuxiu, or return all the money for the betrothal gift. It's up to you!"
Boss Zhou slammed the table and his voice rose an octave.
When Shen Anan saw this scene, he quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Uncle Shen, staring at Boss Zhou with his eyes fixed: "What are you doing? Are you threatening people?"
After she talked back like that, Boss Zhou's momentum weakened a bit, but he still insisted: "You stinky woman, don't meddle in other people's business. This is between us and Master Shen!"
Looking at this situation, Shen Anan knew that it would not end well.
The only way may be to reveal Shen Xiuxiu's whereabouts.
But she knew in her heart that this matter could not be discussed in front of Uncle Shen. She had to lead Boss Zhou and the others out and find a secluded place to talk.
"Boss Zhou, let's go out and talk. Don't make a fuss here."
Hearing this, Boss Zhou was stunned, but seeing that Shen Anan looked serious and seemed to have something to say, he nodded and followed Shen Anan out of the yard with a few followers.
Several people came to the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. It was quiet here and they could talk without worrying about being heard.
Shen Anan turned around and looked at Boss Zhou with a sharp look in her eyes: "You want news about Shen Xiuxiu, I know, the first person she saw after leaving Wangjiazhuang was me, I know where she is!"
