Chapter 569 The Growing Tiger Family
The Sheng family is definitely the focus of everyone's attention in Qianchuan Forest Farm, and their every move is watched by countless people.
Sheng Xiping has been gone for so long and hasn't returned, causing quite a stir in Qianchuan Forest Farm, with all sorts of rumors circulating.
Some people say that things are chaotic outside these days, with all sorts of things happening, like murder and arson. Since Sheng Xiping hasn't come back for so long, he might have been murdered somewhere.
Some people say that Sheng Xiping probably got into trouble and is hiding outside, too afraid to come back.
These days, most people who make big money don't come from honest sources. Now that things have come to light, if Sheng Xiping doesn't go into hiding, he'll be arrested and punished.
Sheng Xiping became wealthy, and he also helped many families in the forest farm to become rich. Logically, everyone should respect him.
But in this world, most problems are not about scarcity but about inequality.
Sheng Xiping is not a saint; she cannot make everyone rich.
Those who became rich by following him will definitely be grateful to him and speak well of him at every turn.
Those who didn't benefit from the situation certainly wouldn't dare say anything openly, but they certainly cursed behind people's backs.
This season is the busiest time in the ginseng fields, with workers removing protective soil, covering the ginseng pits, and draping them with plastic sheeting.
In the Dajianchang area, every household is extremely busy. Except for the elderly and children, everyone else has gone up the mountain to work.
In recent years, Liu Yujiang hasn't gone into the mountains to hunt much. His dogs have been replaced time and again, and there aren't many left that can go up the mountain; they're just used for guarding the house.
"Oh, it really is Xiping. You rascal, what have you been up to for so long?"
"Old man, hurry up, Xiping is back."
"Master, mistress, are you home?" The Liu family's gate was wide open, and Sheng Xiping led his wife and children inside, calling out loudly as they went.
The two children looked up and saw Sheng Xiping's family. Overjoyed, they dropped their shovels, and one of them jumped over the gardening stick and ran to Sheng Xiping in two steps.
Sheng Xiping and his wife carried their belongings and led their four children on foot to the large alkali field to the west.
"No, no, you go ahead and do your work. We'll come back when we have time."
People with hearing problems are afraid that others won't hear what they're saying, so they speak loudly.
Now that they've heard that Sheng Xiping is back, and in such a high-profile way by driving back, these people are getting restless.
The dog's barking startled Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, who were tilling the vegetable garden.
"Oh, I went abroad and stayed in Russia for over a year. I just got back, didn't I? I'm sorry everyone missed me."
Therefore, during the two years that Sheng Xiping disappeared, many people outwardly showed concern and comforted Sheng Liancheng and his wife, but behind their backs, they were secretly gloating.
Zhang Shuzhen picked out a few items from the things her son brought back, and then took out two packs of cigarettes from the cabinet, one Shilin and one Hongmei, both of which were good cigarettes.
However, the Sheng family had nothing to fear from others asking about, and Sheng Xiping was also open and honest, so he chatted with those people for a few words with a smile and invited them to come in and sit down.
Someone quickly stepped forward, pretending to reach out to help Sheng Xiping carry his things, but actually they were deliberately testing him and trying to find out information.
Now that he's back, I'll definitely go and visit him.
Liu Changde and his wife treated Sheng Xiping like their own son. During the two years that Sheng Xiping was away from home, Liu Changde and his wife missed him a lot.
People are all prone to resentment towards the rich. Seeing others become wealthy and powerful makes them feel worse than if they were killed.
"In the two years you've been away, your master and mistress, and your eldest brother have helped us a lot."
Inside the house, Liu Changde and Qin Qiuyan were sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), rolling bean seeds with a lid and a winnowing basket.
"What? Xiping is back?" His wife spoke loudly enough for Liu Changde to hear.
Sheng Xiping carried his things to the window and greeted Liu Changde, "Master, how have you been these past two years?"
Seeing everyone leave, Sheng Xiping shook his head and, together with his son, carried the things from the car into the house.
Now that they saw Sheng Xiping standing in front of them looking perfectly fine, not at all as mysterious as others had said, everyone was deflated and had no interest in chatting with him anymore.
The Liu family kept dogs, and when they heard the commotion of outsiders, the dogs all jumped out of their kennels and barked at Sheng Xiping's family.
These people were just curious and came to find out if it was really Sheng Xiping who had returned.
"Okay, go take a look. Bring something with you, don't go empty-handed."
"Third Uncle? When did you get back? Grandpa, Grandma, come out quickly, it's my third uncle who's back, along with Third Aunt and Brother Xinhua."
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Your master is perfectly healthy. Except for being a little hard of hearing, I have no other problems."
Those who had been chatting idly got up and went to the Sheng family to see what was going on.
The old man was already sitting by the window, and upon hearing this, he immediately opened the window and peered out.
As Qin Qiuyan spoke, she quickly gathered up the beans, the covered tray, the winnowing basket, and everything else.
When they arrived at the Sheng family's door, they saw that Sheng Xiping had indeed returned and was unloading things from the car.
"Third Uncle, you're finally back. Come on in, my grandpa and grandma are home."
Liu Changde is in good health and has a booming voice.
"Dad, Mom, let's take the child to visit my master."
Liu Changde was getting old and his hearing wasn't very good, so he didn't hear the sounds outside very well, but Qin Qiuyan did.
"Oh, Xiping, you're back? What have you been doing these past two years? We haven't heard from you at all. Your parents are at home, they're always worried about you."
Sheng Xiping could tell that these people were all curious and had come specifically to inquire about something.
