Chapter 289 Cen Li's Inquiry
As soon as Cen Li heard it, he knew that the person in front of him knew Shen Yi, and hurriedly made an excuse to explain, “I came from the border military camp, and I was ordered to investigate the soldiers in the army. I ask for your cooperation.”
"You said you were from the military camp? Which camp? Why haven't I seen you before?" Su Chunlin asked with his eyes wide open.
Cen Li was sweating profusely, and was even more confused. "My fellow villager has also been in the military camp?"
"That's right! If I hadn't been tricked by that bastard on the battlefield, and if I hadn't still been sharp-witted, I would have charged forward and killed a few more shameless Longxia thieves. Bah! I get angry just talking about those bastards!" Su Chunlin cursed and gritted his teeth.
Seeing this, Cen Li's back was wet. He swallowed his saliva imperceptibly and continued to ask, "So what's the situation with Shen Yi?"
Su Chunlin glared at him angrily, "What's going on! He is a clean, honest villager who was born and raised here. His ancestors for three generations have been migrants from other places. He used to make a living by his own ability, but had to change his career when the drought started. He has a lovely wife and four lovely children. His wife also has relatives in another village to support her. What's wrong with him? What's the problem?"
"No, no problem."
Su Chunlin's eyes made Cen Li feel uneasy, and he almost ran away.
After getting on the carriage, Cen Li took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, "How terrible! It is true that poor and bad places produce unruly people. Our Cen family's daughter cannot marry into such a place!"
The driver looked at the rolling yellow earth in front of him and asked, "Master, where are we going now?"
Cen Li snorted angrily, "Where else can we go? Return!"
"Hasn't Shen Yi's situation been clarified yet?" The driver was a little confused. The master had clearly spent two or three days to determine Zhu Yixuan's background, so why was he thinking of heading back before even reaching Shen Yi's hometown?
Cen Li lifted the curtain and yelled at the driver, "Don't you have eyes? The man just now claimed to be Shen Yi's father-in-law. He kept talking about going to war and killing enemies. He also said that their whole village could support Shen Yi's wife. Why did I ask about him? Humph! He is just a country bumpkin. He is not even as good as Zhu Yixuan. How can they be so capable!"
The driver was very tactless and said, "That's not right, sir. Isn't Chen Yi the young commander-in-chief? You were always feeling sorry for him on the way here, and you even said that General Cen had a problem with his vision. Why do you feel disgusted with him now?"
"Go away, stop talking about things that are irrelevant. Why did I find a wooden stake like you to be a coachman? You're not even as sweet-talking as the waiter in the county inn, who just makes me angry!" Cen Li cursed and entered the carriage again.
Su Chunlin followed the carriage until it left Moshi Town and then he headed back with peace of mind.
Su Chunsen had already bought some things and was waiting for him outside the town. Seeing him coming from that direction, he subconsciously frowned, "What did you do again?"
Su Chunlin briefly described Cen Li's situation and sneered, "He said he came from the military camp to investigate the soldiers. Bullshit! If he were really from the military camp, he should be at Officer Liu's house right now, instead of being scared to death by my words. I think he was probably sent by the Cen family. He looks a bit like Cen Yingfan."
Su Chunsen and Su Chunlin gave a thumbs up. "You are really quick to react. If I were in this situation, I might have taken the person to Shenjiazhuang."
Su Chunlin was happy. "Just take her away! It's a good opportunity for him to see what my daughter is capable of. I'm not exaggerating. Who in Shenjia Village doesn't know what our Xiaotai is capable of? Every year, the strawberry and watermelon business depends on Xiaotai to sell. I wish I could worship her."
If they knew why they came to our house, they would be more anxious than us. I think I did a good thing by stopping them here."
If Cen Li is really allowed to enter Shenjia Village, it will be difficult for that guy to come out safely.
Su Chunlin would be happy for the other party to be in trouble, but this would easily cause trouble for Shen Yi, which was not appropriate.
After saying this, the two brothers went home.
The next day, Su Chunlin went to Shenjiazhuang to tell Su Tai about this matter.
Su Tai was not panicked or had any other emotions. She just hurriedly asked Su Chunlin to help take care of the child and take the time to teach the child a lesson.
Su Chunlin protected the twins who looked like mud monkeys behind him, feeling distressed. "Where have you been? How did you end up like this? Look how angry your mother is!"
Shen Congyu wiped the stove ash on his forehead, sniffed, and smiled, “Grandfather, I miss you!”
"Grandpa, I miss you too!" Sister Shen Yuean also stretched out her dark claws and ran towards Su Chunlin.
Su Chunlin's face turned pale, "My little ancestor, please stop messing around, or you'll make Grandfather dirty again!"
It was obvious that the two children wanted to drag Su Chunlin into the water. The more he talked, the more excited the children played.
Su Tai raised the cane and swung it against the door a few times, and the two little guys finally behaved and went into the bathroom obediently.
Su Chunlin hurried over to help, and tried to appease the furious Su Tai with fear and trepidation, "The children are still young, and without their father to discipline them, it is inevitable that they are a little tough. Don't bother with them."
"Mom, we know we were wrong!" The two little ones lowered their heads obediently as Su Tai scrubbed their bodies roughly.
Su Tai laughed angrily, "What's wrong?"
The two little guys looked at each other and said crisply, "We shouldn't stop studying and play with stove ash."
"Ha! That's a pretty insightful summary! How should we punish them?" Su Tai looked at the two of them seriously.
Shen Yuean said weakly: "We will meet later and go to face the wall and study hard."
Su Chunlin hurriedly smiled and said, "Listen, listen to me, my granddaughter is very sensible! Don't be angry!"
After tidying up the two kids, Su Tai washed their dirty clothes in the bathroom. Su Chunlin took a stool and sat in the yard to supervise the two children and chat with her at the same time.
"Your cousin and godsister are gone, and you can't take care of four children alone. Why don't you find someone to help?" Su Chunlin suggested.
Su Tai worked so hard that he felt sorry for her.
Su Tai was helpless, "Dad, my family's situation is not suitable for outsiders. Too many people will cause trouble. If they gossip about my family's situation, they will tell others about it. It's nothing but trouble."
Su Chunlin glanced at the yard. Well, with such a large family and a lot of money, it was indeed not easy to hire people casually. "But it's not a good idea for you to continue like this."
"Who said that? Yuezhang and Congrong are both grown up, especially Yuezhang. This girl is mature and steady. At such a young age, she can help me with the accounting and disbursement. She is also sensible and well-behaved. It's just that I didn't let her look after the two little ones.
The child Congrong has the same temperament as Chen Yi, he is gentle, good-tempered and very obedient. Even when I am not at home, the two little ones can take care of themselves and their younger siblings.
It's just these two little ones that make me worry. I'm free most of the time on weekdays and am more than capable of taking care of them. I can't bring outsiders into my home just to be busy occasionally!
Forget it, let’s not talk about them. How is my cousin?”
That day she drank at Ke Yunyun and Tang Yu's wedding and went back, without personally seeing them off.
