Chapter 234 Two Smart People
He had only told these things to a few people in the past three years. Even Mrs. Zhu didn't know the details. He didn't know why he felt the urge to talk today. Perhaps it was the prosperity and tranquility of this village that made him feel at ease.
Su Chuan's eyes were reddened when he heard this. "Sir, it's a good thing that you can think positively. The past is the past. No one can have a smooth life. You can stay in our house for a while. The village is very nice and the villagers are kind. You can go out if you want. It's just that it's freezing cold and there may not be many people out and about.
As for taking you to meet your students, we still need to make some careful arrangements, so it may not be that fast."
"No problem!" Tang Yu waved his hand, which was quite reasonable.
After Su Chuan settled the people, he went back and told Mrs. Wan about the situation.
Wan didn't expect that such a gentle and refined gentleman could have such a tragic life story. She couldn't help but sigh, "In this case, we'd better go talk to Xiaotai about the situation and let them know."
After the mother and son had discussed the matter, they went to Han's house.
Han called Su Zhan over and said, "The day after tomorrow will be the 30th. You two brothers have to help your elder sister make pot cakes. Tell them about the situation and see what your elder sister thinks."
Both brothers agreed solemnly.
On the day of making Guokui, the two of them set out an hour earlier than usual. When they arrived at Su Tai's house, they did not sit idle. They helped with some things first, and then secretly told Su Tai about the situation when she went over to work.
Su Tai was a little surprised. "You mean that gentleman is quite young, and has lost his wife and children? He has no relatives or friends in the local area?"
Su Zhan nodded heavily. "My cousin's family has been in the county for so many years, and with the connections that Mr. Zhu had left for him, he made a special trip to the county to inquire and was able to ensure that this gentleman was indeed from out of town.
Maybe he was tired after walking for three years, and his money was almost used up. When he stayed at Zhu's Inn, the innkeeper knew about his situation and reported it to Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu met him and asked someone to test his knowledge. Only after confirming that he had solid knowledge did she decide on him.
Big sister, do you want to keep this person?"
Su Tai thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow when you go back, I will take Yunyun with you. Let Xiaoxi take care of the child first, and we will meet the gentleman in person. By the way, is Mrs. Zhu's spy still there?"
"It's long gone! You know our village is right at the entrance to the village, and any random cat or dog can't hide. They wanted to bribe the villagers before, but now everyone doesn't need those small things. Besides, my eldest cousin married the son of the village chief, so who would dare to spy on her family?
In the first two days after Mr. Tang arrived, my cousin met a few unfamiliar people on the way to the county town. He was not sure if they were Mrs. Zhu's spies, but when he came back, those people were gone.
We paid close attention when we left the village today, and everything was normal." Su Zhan told him everything he knew.
To be on the safe side, Su Tai decided to wait and see and wait until the 14th day of the next lunar month when they came to work before going to her mother's house.
But since the gentleman was a good person, they still had to appease him.
So Su Tai specially prepared a lot of food for the Su Zhan brothers when they returned, including pot cakes, bread and cakes, as well as some fried chicken, hamburgers and milk tea.
The two brothers had never eaten Western food before, so they each had one portion on the way.
When they returned to the village, they kept their own share and sent Su Chuan's family's share.
The village returned to its former tranquility.
Mrs. Zhu couldn't sit still any longer. "You said that Mr. Tang still lives in the village and hasn't left at all? You didn't see him go in and out of Dongmen Village?"
The servant who reported the matter nodded hesitantly, "Madam, the two of us will take turns guarding the treetops day and night to ensure that no one can find our traces. Su Chuan has not gone out since he went to the county town, and he has not brought anyone special with him.
"Su Chuan's cousin did go out, but he went to Su Chuan's cousin's house. I have asked around and they go to Shen's village to help with work on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Every time they bring back some good things, they will share some with Su Chuan's family. Other than that, it's just normal visits between the two families, and Mr. Tang occasionally walks around the village. There's nothing special about it."
"Impossible! How could they be so patient? It's been more than half a month, they must be in Dongmen Village!" Mrs. Zhu looked certain.
The nanny beside him asked hesitantly, "If it's not in Dongmen Village, will it be in Shenjia Village?"
The two servants looked at each other and shook their heads in denial.
"I had my suspicions and even went to ask around. Su Chuan's cousin is called Su Tai. She married Shen Yi from Shenjiazhuang. Shen Yi has no parents. After he served in the military, Su Tai was the only one left in the Shen family with her two children.
All the family business was left to Su Tai to manage. Their most famous business was Guokui. Every day, people came to pick up goods. Occasionally, villagers would go to their house to borrow things. I found excuses to inquire, and the villagers said that there were no unfamiliar faces in their house. "
A family like this is definitely not a good choice for Tibetans.
Mrs. Zhu and the nanny both sighed in disappointment.
"Forget it, forget it. You guys just leave first. My child is still young and I can wait. I don't believe they can make me never see anyone again in my entire life!" Mrs. Zhu clenched her fists fiercely.
Both of them withdrew gratefully.
The snow was about to melt, and it was not safe on the treetops. The two of them were terrified staying there every day. After hearing what Mrs. Zhu said, they both felt as if they had been pardoned.
Su Chuan didn't know that they were almost exposed.
On the fourteenth day, Su Zhan and Su Ming went to help Su Tai with the work as usual.
On the way back, Su Ming drove the car and took Su Tai and Ke Yunyun with him.
On the way, Ke Yunyun nervously grabbed Su Tai's hand and said, "Cousin, is Mr. Tang really willing to help me?"
Su Tai patted her hand soothingly, "We have to give it a try whether he agrees or not. If it works, won't everyone be happy?"
Ke Yunyun swallowed nervously.
After the group arrived home.
Han immediately secretly took Ke Yunyun to the backyard, while Su Tai went out to greet the villagers, deliver some food, and walk around.
Finally, I went to Wan's house.
Soon, the Wan family and Mr. Tang came to Han's place.
Tang Yu was still a little confused. He thought he just came here to join in the fun, but he didn't expect that everyone was staring at him when he entered the room.
He was so uncomfortable, "Well, is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Tai showed a kind smile and began to play the victim, "Mr. Tang, I heard that you are knowledgeable, talented, loyal, and can distinguish right from wrong."
Tang Yu was almost blown away by Su Tai's flattery, "Stop, stop. Madam, please speak frankly."
