Chapter 134: Have we met somewhere before?
Their house is relatively remote and there are no neighbors nearby. Anyone who comes here must be coming for their house.
Before she even walked out of the yard, she saw a dozen big men arm in arm, laughing and talking as they walked towards her in the distance. The man leading them was Chen Yingshu.
The man next to him, who was hugging his neck and smiling happily, looked to be in his thirties, with a yellow scarf on his head and a hairy mole on the left side of his cheek.
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Just when I was about to ask about his identity, the enemy showed up.
Sang Yu did not continue to go out to greet them. Instead, he turned back to the pavilion and whispered a few words: "Someone is coming. Dad, big brother, you two should calm down for a while."
What a meaningless sentence. Didn't they just go to see who was coming? How could they calm down all of a sudden?
Sang Yongjing and Sang Xingjia looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. What did Yu'er/little sister mean by this?
Before they could react, the person outside the door had already arrived. Chen Yingshu was holding a jar of wine in his hand and waving excitedly at Sang Yu.
"Miss Sang, I know your new house is completed today, so I came to congratulate you."
Sang Yu showed a surprised expression as if she had just seen them. She stepped forward and opened the gate. "Mr. Shen, this hasn't been made public. How come you know about this?"
"When I saw Xiaohu leading a group of people home earlier, I guessed that your house should be almost finished, so I brought my brother-in-law and others here to congratulate you."
Chen Yingshu explained briefly, then introduced the man next to her: "This is Wang Shun, my eldest brother-in-law. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, ask him to seek justice."
Sang Yu glanced at the mole on Wang Shun's cheek, then smiled and nodded: "Hello, Mr. Wang."
Wang Shun had a scoundrel air about him, and hearing this word made his teeth ache. He waved his hand casually: "Hey, just call me Brother Wang. It's uncomfortable to hear some words like young master or not."
"Oh, don't stand at the door and talk. Please come in quickly. Carpenter Wang is here too." Sang Yu seemed to have just remembered this and quickly moved aside to make way.
Chen Yingshu walked in without thinking much, but Wang Shun did not move.
"Brother Shu, we won't go in. We have other things to do. Just come over to get acquainted with the place and your face. If you need anything else, come find me directly at the shed outside the canyon."
He scanned the faces of several people standing in the yard one by one, and frowned slightly when he saw Sang Yongjing and Sang Xingjia. These two people looked familiar.
"Have we met somewhere before, you two?"
As soon as they saw him, the father and son understood why Sang Yu had just said those words.
Knowing that now was not the right time to have a falling out, both of them suppressed their anger.
The veins on Sang Xingjia's forehead were throbbing, and his fists were clenched tightly.
It was this person in front of him who had almost made their family lose their labor force, forcing Sang Xingjia to stay in the shed and leaving Sang Yu to shoulder the burden of the family.
"Haha, I don't think so." Sang Yongjing, having lived a few more years, forced a smile. The hand behind him grasped Sang Xingjia's clenched fist and patted it twice to comfort him.
"Maybe it's because you saw him in the shed area when my uncle and his family came to the village before, so that's why he looked familiar."
Chen Yingshu didn't think there was anything wrong. Wang Shun would sit in the shed from time to time, drinking and chatting, and it was normal for him to occasionally see someone passing by.
Or rather, it would be even stranger if he had not seen the Sang father and son going back and forth in the canyon so many times.
After his explanation, Wang Shun quickly felt relieved. He scratched his head and smiled: "Hey, it's really possible. You know that I have a bad memory. Maybe I saw it one day and have forgotten it now."
He did not stay any longer. He called out to the dozen people behind him and walked out together, leaving only Chen Yingshu alone.
Sang Yu was not surprised at all. It was normal that he could not recognize the father and son.
At that time, her family had just arrived in Lingnan. Not to mention washing clothes, even they were still covered in dust and dirt and had no time to wash themselves clean.
In addition, everyone's face was an unhealthy yellow with green color because they had been eating dandelion leaves to fill their stomachs along the way.
Her body was so thin that it seemed like it would fall down with a gust of wind. It was completely different from her current rosy and shiny appearance.
Most people would never associate their current state with their previous miserable state.
Chen Yingshu is not a very talkative person. He has read a lot of books and is familiar with many articles, but when he sits down to chat with people seriously, he can't utter a word for a long time.
If he was chatting alone with Sang Yu, someone he admired, he could barely come up with some topics, but when he changed to being with a group of people, he felt he couldn't stay any longer.
He placed the wine jar on the table and stood up to say goodbye: "This is the wine to congratulate the completion of the new house. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Sang Yu tried to persuade him gently a few more times, and seeing that he had made up his mind, she sent him out of the yard. Just as she was about to sit back and continue chatting, she saw Carpenter Wang also stand up and about to leave.
"Grandpa Wang, why don't you stay a little longer? We have some wine and I'll cook some dishes tonight so you and my dad can have a drink together."
Carpenter Wang smiled and waved his hand to decline: "Well, one meal isn't enough, are you asking for another? I haven't digested my lunch yet. You've bothered me long enough, it's time to go back."
After seeing off Carpenter Wang, Sang Yu closed the gate and returned to the pavilion.
Just as she was about to sit down, she saw that everyone had a sullen face. It was obvious that she didn't need to introduce the identity of the man just now any further.
"Dad, why are you unhappy?" she asked knowingly.
"How could that man be hanging out with Village Chief Shen's son?" Sang Yongjing's tone contained some anger. It's not that he didn't hate that man, but he had to suppress his hatred.
When Chen Yingshu introduced Wang Shun earlier, his voice was not loud, and the courtyard gate was still some distance away from the pavilion, so they did not hear the relationship between the two.
Sang Yu sighed: "That man's name is Wang Shun, and he is the husband of Shen Village's eldest daughter."
"How could it be?" Sang Yongjing was shocked, frowning. "Isn't Village Chief Shen a very respectable person? How could he become a relative of a scoundrel?"
In his impression, every time he saw Shen Wenfu, he always had an arrogant attitude, and it was obvious that he was a person who thought highly of himself. How could he be associated with Wang Shun, who casually beat and robbed people?
"Because... we are all birds of a feather." Sang Yu's expression was indifferent, but the words he uttered were shocking.
Even though he knew that no one would pass by his house, Sang Yongjing couldn't help but look outside. Seeing that it was indeed empty and no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yu'er, are your words biased? Isn't Chen Yingshu a scholar?"
"Dad, have you ever thought about a question?" Sang Yu did not respond, but brought up a new topic.
Sang Yongjing was stunned: "What's the problem?"
