Chapter 580 If you want to act, I’ll act with you!
Sang Yu entered the room and frowned unconsciously when he saw the shabby environment, but he still sat on the rickety stool without changing his expression.
Ran Qingxuan helped pour tea and water, while keeping an eye on Sang Yu's expression.
"I was just about to tell you about that incident your men mentioned!"
After Gu Yanchen finished speaking, Sang Yu's fingers tightened unconsciously, but soon relaxed again, and she asked as if nothing had happened.
"I'm nearby, why don't you just come to me?"
After he finished speaking, he paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip, but immediately frowned the moment the tea took his mouth.
Several people were watching, so Sang Yu had to resist the urge to spit it out and swallow it.
Ran Qingxuan was very embarrassed when he saw this and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sang, our house was raided and we've spent almost all the money we hid. Usually we can only boil some water to drink..."
In fact, she deliberately found tea stalks that would prick your feet when you soak your feet, and made a special tea for him...
After putting down the teacup, Sang Yu showed a sympathetic expression, reached into his arms and took out a few silver bills, which looked like two or three hundred taels.
Putting it on the table and pushing it in front of Gu Yanchen, Sang Yu whispered, "I know Brother Gu is not the kind of person who would accept money from others, but the New Year is coming soon, so you should keep this money and use it first."
Gu Yanchen pretended to be embarrassed, and when he was about to refuse, Ran Qingxuan took the money on the table before him.
"Only Mr. Sang can understand our difficulties. Although the Qian family compensated us with land, we are all used to living in the capital. How can we farm without knowing the five kinds of grains..."
"I remember that among those who were exiled with me, there were some who knew how to farm, right?"
Sang Yu pretended to be in deep thought and looked up at Ran Qingxuan.
"Mr. Sang, are you talking about Uncle Chen Er?"
"Well, he is in charge of agriculture and sericulture in Cangzhou, so he should be very familiar with planting."
Ran Qingxuan knew that he had done his homework before coming here, and he had his own way to deal with such words.
"After all, the Chen family is my third sister-in-law's maternal family, but they have their own lives here. Even if we ask them to help with farming, we can't grow crops on dozens of acres.
And the closer the relationship is, the more the accounts must be settled clearly. After all, they have a whole family that needs to eat and live. If you don't have money to pay them, resentment will naturally arise.
It can be said that Mr. Sang’s help has helped us a lot. When spring comes, I’m afraid we will have to give away half of it…”
Ran Qingxuan couldn't help but turn his face away as he spoke. It seemed that he couldn't help feeling sad when thinking about the future, but in fact he was trying hard not to laugh out loud.
Sang Yu unconsciously curled the corners of his lips, clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed lightly to cover it up, and pretended to comfort her.
"Don't worry too much, sister-in-law. Things will eventually pass. If things really don't work out, you can rent out the land you received as compensation and make some money throughout the year."
Gu Yanchen accompanied Ran Qingxuan in acting, lowered his head, and sighed deeply.
"You have to be able to find a solution. In our family, there are only those who are injured, disabled, or women who can't lift anything.
If I really want my whole family to survive in the future, I will probably have to go hunting in the mountains frequently to supplement the family income. ”
Ran Qingxuan was trying to hold back his laughter. Gu Yanjing was almost speechless at his brother's remarks. He looked at him frantically and told him that he was going too far...
Fortunately, Sang Yu's attention was not on this. She picked up the teacup and seemed to be going to drink it, but in fact she was asking what Gu Yanchen meant by what he had just said.
"We found the man your men rescued."
"Oh? You found it so quickly?"
Sang Yu tightened his grip on the cup and pretended to be relaxed: "Did that person tell the truth about what he saw at the time?"
Gu Yanchen's face was full of disappointment and he shook his head.
"No, when we found him, his parents had already started preparing for his funeral. Qingxuan tried to save him, but the fisherman was too badly injured, and the medicine he took only saved his life for a few days."
"Also, in the afternoon we wanted to go see if the fisherman was awake and see if we could ask him something useful, but when we got there we found out that the family had already moved away."
"Brother Gu, have you asked the neighbors around to see where they moved to?"
There was a barely perceptible urgency in his tone, and Ran Qingxuan, standing behind him, had a look of contempt in his eyes.
It seemed that he had looked for it, but came up empty-handed.
"No, the woman I asked told me that the old couple felt that they had lived by the sea and dealt with water all their lives, and they were afraid that their son would wander around the sea and not be able to find his home after his death.
I want to go to a place with mountains and rivers while I'm still alive, so that when I die I can at least have a solid foundation. ”
"Has the fisherman never woke up?"
Ran Qingxuan sighed and said, "I don't know what injured the fisherman. The wounds on his body have all festered and turned into rotten flesh. I don't know where to start. I can only keep him alive for a few days so that his family can spend more time with him."
Sang Yu's tense back relaxed and he pretended to sigh when he heard the words.
"My sister-in-law is kind-hearted. I think this fisherman will remember her kindness after he passes away."
Several people already knew what Sang Yu was thinking, so no matter what he said now, the three of them thought it was a joke.
Sang Yu paused after finishing his words, and sighed, pretending to be embarrassed: "Actually, I came here today because I have something important to tell Brother Gu."
Gu Yanchen looked puzzled: "What is it?"
"Earlier today, I received a letter from an eagle over the sea..."
"maritime?"
"Well, one of my cargo ships was passing by an island to get fresh water when a sea dragon suddenly flipped over, and the entire island sank in an instant and was submerged by the sea..."
"What? Are you kidding?"
The Gu brothers and Ran Qingxuan pretended to be calm and looked at him in disbelief.
"I was also extremely shocked when I heard about this. I had already prepared the boat for you and was just waiting for the necessary materials to be loaded onto the boat before notifying you. But..."
Gu Yanchen fell back on the stool, holding his head in great pain. Ran Qingxuan stepped forward to comfort him and asked Sang Yu with red eyes.
"Didn't your men say they heard the fisherman mention my father-in-law? If the island is gone, then my father-in-law is..."
Sang Yu shook his head and pretended to look regretful.
"No, I have to go and see it with my own eyes..."
As Gu Yanchen was about to walk out, Gu Yanjing hugged him with a look of grief.
"Sixth brother, this matter has never been confirmed. Maybe it was a false alarm created by the enemy who wanted you dead. Didn't the Blue Rain people ambush us on the way to exile?
If you go, wouldn't you be walking into a trap? ”
"Third Brother Gu is right. The collapse of the island might be a warning from God. It's better not to take the risk."
Gu Yanjing also said: "In that case, why don't we go to Blue Rain first, maybe we can find the fourth one."
Sang Yu raised his eyebrows and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.
"What do you mean, Brother Gu San? I don't quite understand."
Gu Yanjing seemed to have just remembered and explained how he came back.
