731: Flood flooded the Dragon King Temple
Shen Hongcai finally felt relieved, and with a slightly apologetic look on his face, he let go of Yu Zhengxian and smiled:
"So she's been transferred to the county seat. I guess she didn't have time to tell me after the transfer, or maybe she wrote me a letter and I haven't received it yet. Well, comrade, thank you very much. I'll go find her right away."
Shen Hongcai lowered his head to pick up his luggage bag and turned to leave. By the way, he would go to other places to ask around. Whether what this person said was true or not remained to be verified. Whether his daughter had really been transferred to the county town, or if something else had happened, he had to find out clearly before taking any action.
He always felt that this strong man was a little weird and he couldn't believe everything he said.
He turned to leave, and Yu Zhengxian immediately said:
"Old comrade, let me take you there!"
"No--"
Yu Zhengxian didn't care what Shen Hongcai said, and turned around and shouted into the tent:
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, I have to go down the mountain for something. I'll temporarily hand over the canteen work to you. You take care of it!"
The woman called Lao Zhang asked with a smile:
"If you want to go to the city to see your wife and children, go ahead. It's been so long since you last went. If you don't go, your wife will be angry."
Old Zhang spoke very loudly and everyone outside could hear him clearly. Yu Zhengxian looked back at his father-in-law nervously, feeling extremely guilty.
The father-in-law must not know who the daughter-in-law Lao Zhang is talking about. Just thinking about this makes Yu Zhengxian feel his scalp tingling.
"Come on, old comrade, I'll take you to find Chenci."
Shen Hongcai was stunned. Yu Zhengxian's excessive enthusiasm made him a little confused. He felt that this man's behavior was a little strange. He just came to inquire about the whereabouts of his daughter, but this man actually wanted to take him there personally to find someone?
He knew how far this place was from the county town, and it was freezing cold, making it extremely inconvenient to take a car. He arrived in Mishan County yesterday afternoon, and set off from the county town early this morning. After a whole morning of travel, he finally arrived at the forest farm.
Under such inconvenient circumstances, this person actually wanted to take him to the county town to find someone in person. Who wouldn't think too much?
He couldn't help but wonder if this man had other intentions.
So Shen Hongcai did not leave with Yu Zhengxian:
"Comrade, you don't have to follow me. Just tell me where she is and I'll find her myself."
"No, that place is not easy to find. Let me take you there—"
No matter how Shen Hongcai tried to persuade him, Yu Zhengxian just kept walking forward regardless.
Shen Hongcai did not follow him rashly. He wanted to ask others what was going on.
Just at this moment, Lao Zhang from the cafeteria came out of the tent carrying a bag of rotten cabbage stalks.
Lao Zhang is actually not old, she is only in her thirties, but because she looks old, like someone in her fifties, people call her Lao Zhang.
As soon as Shen Hongcai saw Lao Zhang coming out, he hurriedly asked Lao Zhang:
"Sister, I want to ask you about someone. Is Chen Ci here?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Hongcai, then looked up at Yu Zhengxian who had walked some distance ahead, pointed at him and said:
"You go find him."
“——”
Shen Hongcai followed Lao Zhang's gaze and looked at Yu Zhengxian.
Just then, Yu Zhengxian turned around and saw that Chen Ci's father had not followed him, but had actually started talking to Lao Zhang. Yu Zhengxian suddenly became nervous, fearing that Lao Zhang would say something he shouldn't say.
Meanwhile, Shen Hongcai glanced at Yu Zhengxian, then turned back to ask Lao Zhang:
"If I follow him, can I really find Chen Ci?"
"Yeah, by the way, who are you? Why are you looking for Xiao Shen?"
"I'm Chen Ci's father. I came from the capital to see her."
When Lao Zhang heard that this man was Chen Ci's father, he suddenly laughed:
"Oh, this is really like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other—"
"Old Zhang!" Yu Zhengxian suddenly shouted, "Go and throw away your cabbage leaves! Stop talking nonsense here!"
Old Zhang shouted to Yu Zhengxian:
"What's the matter, Yu Zhengxian? When you meet your father-in-law, why don't you treat him well?"
Shen Hongcai: “???” He frowned.
Yu Zhengxian: “!!!” He wished he could punch Lao Zhang to death!
Yu Zhengxian was completely unprepared. He didn't dare let his father-in-law know about his relationship with Chen Ci. He had no idea how to deal with it. He thought of meeting Chen Ci in the county town and letting her tell her father.
Unexpectedly, Lao Zhang actually ruined his plan and told Chen Ci's father in advance!
Shen Hongcai listened to Lao Zhang's words and thought that the woman was joking with him:
"Sister, please don't joke with me. Chen Ci is indeed my daughter. I came to see my daughter. If you know where she is, please let me know."
When Old Zhang heard the old man from the capital speak so politely, he felt embarrassed to continue talking nonsense and said seriously:
"Brother Comrade, I'm not kidding you. If you want to find Chen Ci, just follow him."
Shen Hongcai glanced at Yu Zhengxian again:
"Him? Who is he?"
"He is your uncle-in-law. What? Don't you know your uncle-in-law?"
Shen Hongcai's head suddenly buzzed, and everything in front of him went dark as if the lights had been turned off. He swayed back and forth and was about to fall down.
"Hey, old comrade!"
Old Zhang threw down his bag and hurriedly supported Shen Hongcai. Yu Zhengxian hurried over and cursed:
"Lao Zhang, you're such a talker! If you don't say anything, you'll suffocate to death, right?"
Lao Zhang: "Why, can't I say this?"
"It's not your turn to speak!"
Even if Lao Zhang was dumb, he could still sense something—
At first, Lao Zhang just thought that his father-in-law didn’t know his son-in-law, because in those days it was common for educated youth to go to the countryside and marry local people. Some educated youth got married here, but had not had time to bring their rural partners to meet their parents in the city, so many parents in the city did not know their rural daughters-in-law or sons-in-law, which was not uncommon.
Old Zhang also thought that Shen Ci and Yu Zhengxian were in the same situation.
But looking at Shen Hongcai's reaction, Lao Zhang suddenly realized something:
Oh my god, my father-in-law in the city must not know that his own daughter is married and has children here, right?
When he thought of this, Lao Zhang slapped his mouth:
"Look at my broken mouth! Old comrade, how are you? Don't get excited, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Shen Hongcai just felt dizzy for a moment and did not really fall down. After a moment, he regained his vision and looked up at Yu Zhengxian.
That inquiring look seemed to be able to see into Yu Zhengxian's heart through his eyes, which made Yu Zhengxian feel uneasy. He didn't dare to look at Shen Hongcai, so he could only lower his eyes with an embarrassed look.
Seeing that Shen Hongcai was fine, Old Zhang didn't dare to stay and cause trouble, so she hurriedly slipped away with a bag of cabbage stalks.
Only Shen Hongcai and Yu Zhengxian were left here. Shen Hongcai looked at the tall young man in front of him for a long time. To be honest, Yu Zhengxian looked really good. He was tall, strong, and had good facial features. Overall, he was a tough guy and his appearance definitely stood the test.
But when he thought of the bad things he had done in the past, he suddenly felt ashamed to raise his head. Facing Shen Hongcai's scrutiny, his eyes avoided and he didn't dare to look at anyone.
Shen Hongcai stared at Yu Zhengxian for a long time, recalling what Yu Zhengxian had said. He had just thought this man was weird, but now he finally understood what was going on.
Shen Hongcai asked:
"Are you Li Xinchun?"
