Chapter 311 It’s just dog bite dog
Fortunately, Sang Yu did not stay still. Three years later, his body, which was originally as shriveled as a bean sprout, grew rapidly.
She gradually grew into a beautiful and slim young lady, her forehead even higher than Sang Xinghao's today.
Sang Yu stood up and walked in front of Sang Xinghao, raised her hand slightly, and the other party squatted down and lowered his head obediently.
She couldn't help but laugh and ruffled his hair: "Third uncle said that on purpose for you to hear. He has been praising you to us in private. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Sang Xinghao is quite talented in martial arts, and he is also hardworking and diligent. Even the usually serious Sang Yongsheng couldn't help but praise him in private.
However, he felt that since he was a teacher, no matter how well the students performed, he could not praise them easily, and he always used derogatory teaching methods.
Sang Yu disagreed with this. She did not expect Sang Xinghao to become a martial arts master in a very short period of time. She just wanted him to strengthen his body and learn a skill to make a living.
Blindly belittling him will only undermine his self-confidence and subjective initiative, which will easily make him develop a rebellious mentality. Appropriate praise can better motivate people.
Sang Xinghao's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, "Really? Uncle San really praised me?"
"Of course, I can't lie to you. You stink of sweat, go wash up and change your clothes. Call Xiao Zhao later, and we'll go home and eat hot pot tonight."
Three years later, Sang Yu's business territory expanded at an extremely rapid pace.
Especially after the large-scale planting of peppers and white fungus, the discovery of multi-ear rice in the wild, the cultivation of hybrid rice through targeted grafting, and the planting and promotion.
If three years ago, the wealthy families in Lingnan City only knew about a new family named Sang, then now, everyone who can be called by name knows that there is a wealthy family named Sang.
After all, signs bearing the Sang family's imprint can be seen everywhere, and the Sang family's shadow can be seen everywhere in people's food, clothing, and daily necessities.
If the apparent master of the city is the prefect, then the uncrowned king of the city must be the Sang family.
Almost two-thirds of the shops in the city are either directly owned by the Sang family or have a cooperative relationship with the Sang family. As for the other one-third, they belong to the Zhong family.
Even Zhong Xueru, who had discussed cooperation with Sang Yu at the beginning, had not expected that Sang Yu could expand his influence to such an extent in such a short period of time.
Sang Yu himself was not quite sure how much money he had. He had bought a house in the city early on, but he had only lived there for a few days.
Even if they have to travel back and forth, they prefer the ordinary yet warm home in the canyon.
Xiao Zhao has grown into a grown-up girl now.
She has an amazing memory and although she cannot speak, she is diligent and studious. Sang Yu intends to train her and makes her the manager of a hot pot restaurant, where she manages things in an orderly manner.
As early as when Sang Yu was fifteen years old, Shen Wenfu's family asked a matchmaker to come to their house to propose marriage and wanted to marry her.
At that time, Sang Yu had already used "Journey to the West" to connect with the prefect's illegitimate son, and she never hesitated to pay filial tributes to him on time and every month. It can be said that 30% of her income was given away by her personally.
On one side are newcomers who earn large and stable incomes and hardly need to show up themselves; on the other side are white gloves who help them do some shady things and may turn against them at any time.
Even a three-year-old child knows who to choose.
There was no need for Sang Yu to take action personally. The Shen Wenfu family, which had dominated Qingxi Village for decades, disappeared quietly, leaving only the Wang Shun family safe and sound.
She learned the truth from Xiaohu.
As he was picking vegetables, he said, "The Shen family packed up their belongings last night and tried to escape under cover of darkness, but they were stopped at the intersection by Wang Shun and his men. Not a single member of the family was left alive."
Xiaohu has been following his grandmother here often recently, and has become closer to the Sang family. He no longer speaks and acts as if he is familiar with them, but is actually wary.
"It's just dog biting dog." Sang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
She thought Wang Shun would be the car that was abandoned to save the driver, but she didn't expect that the dog trained by Shen Wenfu would betray his master in advance in order to survive.
Wang Shun probably thinks that as long as he helps get rid of Shen Wenfu, his family will be able to live a stable life, but... will Sang Yu do as he wishes?
There was no need for her to do it herself. Countless people in the village had been harmed by Wang Shun and his gang. Before, they did not dare to retaliate because of the deep-rooted power of Shen Wenfu's family.
Now that Shen Wenfu has disappeared, he is most likely dead, so some brave people are trying to take revenge on the Wang family.
One dry autumn night, the Wang family's home was burned down by a fire, and the entire family was killed.
Sang Xingjia passed the imperial examination in the autumn of this year and will be able to go to the capital to take part in the joint examination in the spring of next year. Once he passes, he will become a tribute scholar and can participate in the palace examination, thus making the leap to success.
He often visited the Chai family and had already developed a secret crush on Que'er. Chai Yuanwei was naturally happy to see this happen and was ready to arrange a marriage for the two of them as soon as he finished the spring imperial examination next year.
However, Sang Yongfeng, who was eager to establish good relationships with officials and wealthy people in Lingnan City, ended up with nothing.
The silver and money that flowed to the capital like water did not bring any advice. Instead, the Sang family had to tighten their belts to make ends meet, and the servants were full of resentment.
As time went by day after day and year after year, he had long understood in his heart that his wish to return to the capital to be an official was nothing but a delusion, but he was unwilling to admit the reality, and gradually he became a little crazy.
As for Sang Anzhu, she has been trying to cause trouble for Sang Yu, but she has failed every time.
Although she was at the age when she should have discussed marriage, she looked down upon the so-called young masters in Lingnan and was unwilling to marry into such a position.
Seeing this, the second and third wives, who had originally had expectations for the first wife, followed Sang Yongjing's example and separated from Sang Yongfeng and moved out of the Sang family mansion.
The Sang Family Restaurant and the cloth shop were handed back to Sang Yongfeng. He had no idea how to manage them and he kept asking for money from time to time, dragging down the two shops that had been operating well.
To the extent that the Sang family had to sell off their property to make ends meet, and finally even sold their house and moved into a remote courtyard next to the city gate.
Sang Yu didn't care much about what would happen in the future. She had to prepare her own dowry now.
Two years ago, after the hot pot restaurant opened, it became famous and attracted traveling merchants and passers-by from surrounding cities.
It was at that time that she met a handsome and burly young man because of the water bag with the word "wind" on it.
She originally thought that the other party was a wandering knight, but later she found out that he was also from the military.
The other party would not stay in Lingnan City for a long time. He would usually come once a month and stay for three to five days. As time went by, the two gradually fell in love.
She also realized from his accessories and temperament that he was not just an ordinary soldier. After confirming his identity, she burst out laughing.
He is Mu Shu and Mu Hongyu, the actual controller of the contemporary Guanyu Army, with whom she had been engaged before.
