Chapter 143 How Similar



The moment she saw Su Wei, Mrs. Zhuang was stunned.

She looked at Aunt Lan, then at Su Wei.

I thought to myself, it turns out that good-looking people have good-looking children.

Su Wei looks like her mother, but what about Su Zhuo?

Probably like his father.

Mrs. Zhuang couldn't help but develop a special interest in Su Wei's father.

I'd love to see how similar...

“It really does look like it.”

A young man on Qingfeng Mountain, dozens of miles outside Han Ancient City, said this seriously.

“How similar?”

The person who was speaking was a middle-aged man with a baby face and a cheerful smile, giving people a very approachable feeling.

The young man said, "Very much like you."

"Where did you see it?"

"In a brothel in Hangu City..." The young man glanced at the baby-faced man secretly: "Her name is Sutang. She is very famous there. It costs a lot of money to see her. I don't know..."

The young man looked at the baby-faced man again and said carefully: "I wonder if she is your daughter..."

The baby-faced man shook his head: "Probably not, my daughter looks like her mother..."

"That's good." The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't tell anyone about this." The baby-faced man said, putting his arm around the young man's shoulders.

The young man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Brother Su, I'm not a talkative person."

The baby-faced man smiled and said, "Good brother, I knew you were reliable."

The two men walked up the hillside, and the young man said, "The boss and his men said they'll be going down the mountain soon. They'll probably rob the nearby merchants. The villagers are all poor and don't have much money."

The baby-faced man frowned: "Will the government not care if we rob people like this?"

"Government?" The young man scoffed and whispered to the baby-faced man, "Our boss has connections in the government. They won't do anything. At worst, they'll find a few scapegoats, and the common people will still be grateful to the government."

The baby-faced man nodded, and the two of them went up the mountain.

"Lao Su, where have you been?"

"Yeah, what are you two grown men doing sticking together all day long?"

There were teasing sounds coming from all around, and the baby-faced man responded easily with a smile. Everyone was laughing as well. It seemed that everyone subconsciously relaxed their guard against such a baby-faced middle-aged pretty boy.

Unfortunately, this person's appearance was really dramatic.

Originally, this man followed a caravan, but he encountered bandits from Qingfeng Mountain. Seeing that the caravan could not defeat them, he immediately turned against them, saying that he came to join the caravan because he admired the boss's reputation.

At first everyone treated him as a monkey and captured him, but he was eloquent and capable, so the boss saw that he was not a threat and asked him to do some odd jobs, and asked him what he did and why he came here.

He said he used to be a farmer.

This guy has delicate skin and tender flesh, and no one believes he is a peasant, but he has a lot of calluses on his hands.

This guy said that the land was left by his father, and his family was considered a bit of an asset in the village back then, but he just didn't have a talent for farming, and he couldn't grow anything well. The family relied on selling their ancestral property for a living, and their lives became increasingly poor. However, the family had a lot of food to eat, and then they encountered a famine. The villagers could still hold on for a while, but his family had never suffered from hunger, but they couldn't endure the hardship and ran away early to escape the famine. However, not long after, the family was separated...

The boss was so happy to hear this. He hadn't seen such an interesting person for a long time. Moreover, this guy was really handsome and likable, so he kept him by his side.

Who knew that this guy might not be good at other things, but he was really good at dealing with people, and he quickly became familiar with everyone on the mountain.

Listening to everyone's teasing, Su Yi responded with a few words and then went into the room with the young man.

They kept watch last night and it was their turn to rest during the day.

Su Yi lay on the bed, thinking about what the young man had just said.

I had agreed with Xiaolan before that we would meet up in Hangu City after we found our daughter.

But before he found his daughter, he was taken to a bandit's den...

That person at Zuixianlou is definitely not Su Wei. Su Wei looks like her mother. Could it be Su Zhuo? Is this guy dressed as a woman again?

He couldn't sleep because he had something on his mind. After thinking for a while, he decided that he had to go and check it out in person. Even if he couldn't find his daughter, he had to find his wife and son as well.

"It's really beautiful." Mrs. Zhuang smiled as she held the chain in her hand. The chain made of red corals was particularly beautiful and noble.

"Auntie Lan, your daughter has such a skillful hand." Mrs. Zhuang looked at the bracelet with a smile on her face.

Aunt Lan smiled and nodded. Her daughter had loved tinkering with these things since she was little, but she hadn't done it since she got sick. Now...

She really felt that her daughter was back.

Su Wei didn't know what she was thinking. Her hands kept moving, and she praised Mrs. Zhuang while chatting.

It was rare for Mrs. Zhuang to be so happy, and she invited Su Wei to dinner in the evening. Su Wei did not refuse. She and Aunt Lan ate in the kitchen. Aunt Lan left a big chicken leg for her. The mother and daughter sat on a small stool, talking in low voices while eating.

Su Wei told her about Nanqiao Village.

"Once we find my father, we'll go live in Nanqiao Village."

Aunt Lan smiled and shook her head: "Silly girl, how can your father-in-law and his family live in your son-in-law's house?"

She felt it was inappropriate.

Su Wei said, "Nanqiao Village is huge. Why not just let Su Zhuo buy a piece of land and build a house?"

It's your own money that Chen Yan has no right to interfere.

Aunt Lan agreed. The village used to be isolated and backward, and it was inconvenient to do anything. Besides, the land was barren and the village was deserted. She definitely couldn't go back.

But it’s not a good thing for a family to be so displaced.

If I could live in the same village with my daughter, we could take care of each other.

"I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's not a big deal, family members don't talk about that."

Aunt Lan nodded with red eyes: "I don't know where your father is either."

Su Wei left the farm before it got dark. As soon as he went out, he met several horse-drawn carriages, which seemed to be carrying some purchased items home.

Su Wei stepped aside. She thought Chen Yan should be here soon. Just as she was looking out, she saw someone standing next to her.

"Are you the new maid?"

Su Wei looked up and saw a face that looked somewhat similar to Xiaozhuang...

Well…

Is this the second child? Or the third child?

"I…"

"I've never seen you before." He said to himself, "What's your name?"

Su Wei: "I'm not the banker."

"I saw you coming out of the house."

"My mother works here."

Young Master Zhuang stared at her face and said, "Looks like... Aunt Lan's daughter?"

Su Wei nodded, watching the cart in front of him unload a lot of wine and meat, thinking that the Zhuang family was indeed rich. Apart from anything else, the servants in this house must eat a lot of food...

The third son of the Zhuang family stared at her face, thinking that Aunt Lan was beautiful, and her two children were also very pretty, both with vixen-like looks...

"We bought so much to entertain guests in the mansion." Young Master Zhuang couldn't help but want to say a few more words to the beautiful girl.

Su Wei nodded.

It's so awkward talking to people you don't know well.

At this moment, someone called Su Wei. Su Wei and Zhuang San turned around at the same time and saw Chen Yan standing not far away.

For some reason, Su Wei always felt that Chen Yan seemed a little unhappy...
