After dinner, Huiping and Aunt Xiumei cleaned up while the others sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
Four children were playing in the yard. After playing for a while, Xiaoran leaned into Nanqiao's arms and whispered, "Mom, I want to take a shower and change clothes first."
Nanqiao knew her child's habits. When she got home, she always took a bath and changed clothes before reading or practicing the piano. After all, children are not as adaptable as adults. It was not easy for Xiaoran to persist for so long today.
"Xiao Ran, be good. Mommy will ask Daddy to give you some hot water first. You can take a shower later, okay?"
"Okay," Xiaoran nodded obediently. Sheng Yanchuan, who was standing beside her, naturally heard their conversation and immediately got up to go to the kitchen to get some hot water. Aunt Xiumei, who was standing beside her, saw Sheng Yanchuan going to the kitchen and asked, "Yanchuan, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to get some hot water. Xiaoran and Xiaoche are used to taking a bath before going to bed at night."
"I want one too, I want one too" Xiaoguo is always following his sister. Xiaoguo, who can't even get into the bathtub normally, immediately shouts that he wants one too when he hears his sister is going to take a bath.
But this ordinary sentence, a habit that he was accustomed to, ignited Sheng Yanjun's long-suppressed anger.
"Wash, wash, wash. You usually don't wash when I tell you to, but now you want to wash. Don't you see that you are like others? Can you learn everything?" Sheng Yanjun's words were urgent and fierce. I don't know if he was really scolding Xiaoguo or hinting at himself.
But no matter who said it, this sentence scared the people in the yard. They stopped what they were doing and looked at Sheng Yanchuan.
Even the usually daring Xiao Che stopped playing and ran to the side of Nanqiao.
Although Sheng Yanjun didn't usually joke with the two children, he had never yelled at Xiaoguo like this. Xiaoguo's eyes immediately turned red and tears fell down. It was just a bath. He didn't know what he did wrong. Didn't his mother often let him take a bath? Why did he get scolded for taking a bath now?
"Why can't you just say it in a nice way? Why are you scolding the child?" Hui Ping was the first to break the silence. She stood up and held the child in her arms to comfort him.
Sheng Yanchuan, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound and came out. Looking at the frightened child curled up in Nanqiao's arms, his deep eyes were tinged with a bit of coldness.
Sheng Yanchuan, who originally wanted to ease the tension before talking again, no longer had this idea.
"Taohua, take the four of them back to the house." Sheng Yanchuan finally gave Sheng Yanjun some face and did not directly confront him in front of the children.
"Xiao Ran and Xiao Che, be good, come back to the room with your aunt, okay? Dad, Mom and Uncle have something to talk about." Nan Qiao knew what Sheng Yanchuan was going to say, and didn't want the elders' affairs to affect the relationship between the children, so he comforted Xiao Ran and Xiao Che in his arms and asked them to follow him into the house.
Taohua was reluctant to go in. She was an adult, but it was not appropriate for a child to be in such an occasion. In the end, she got up and took the four children into the house and closed the door.
Sheng Yanchuan is usually easy to talk to at home, but Mr. Sheng is not. He is so aggressive that even Uncle Sheng and Aunt Xiumei are trembling with fear, fearing that the two will fight.
"Yanchuan..." Aunt Xiumei wanted to persuade Sheng Yanchuan, but was stopped as soon as she opened her mouth
"Mom, please don't say anything. It's been so many years, some things should be made clear." Sheng Yanchuan had a dark face and showed no mercy.
Aunt Xiumei saw that she couldn't stop him, so she looked at Nanqiao, hoping that she could calm down. After all, Nanqiao was the only one who could stop Sheng Yanchuan.
But this was one of the main reasons why Nanqiao came back. Now that it had started, how could she stop it? So from the beginning, she sat lazily in the chair with her eyes downcast, not even looking at the people present.
"We should talk about it. How could Mr. Sheng, with his status, like us? You have been hiding it for so many years. You really took great pains to do it." Sheng Yanjun said with a hint of sarcasm.
This sentence made Sheng Yanchuan laugh. Even Nanqiao couldn't help laughing. Uncle Sheng and the others on the side looked puzzled. They didn't know what the so-called Second Master Sheng meant.
"Oh, so you knew it." Sheng Yanchuan smiled with a sly smile, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Without waiting for Sheng Yanjun to speak, Sheng Yanchuan continued, "That's great. Now that we're talking about this, I have nothing to hide. Yes, I'm Mr. Sheng, the black market in this town is mine, and Chaoyang, where you work now, was also developed from the black market. Is this the answer you want?"
"So, you also know where the food, clothing, and even the money for marrying a wife and building a house that you complain about while enjoying came from, right? I fought hard for it bit by bit."
"My family was poor, so I went to town to be an apprentice when I was a teenager. In my first year, I entered the black market. All the money I earned was earned by surviving many dangerous situations. Do you really think it's easy to make money by driving a sports car in a transport factory all those years, and by just sitting in a car with you during this time? How many times have I come back with injuries on my body, and have you ever asked me about it? You just told me to control my temper and not to fight."
Sheng Yanchuan chuckled as he spoke, "You are not completely wrong about this. We did fight, with the robbers who were risking their lives on the road. Half of Zhou Kai's routes were made by me! How can you enjoy the money I earned so well and blame me instead?"
Sheng Yanchuan was so frank that Sheng Yanjun didn't know what to say. Sheng Yanchuan was not worried about his black market identity being known. At present, all the regulations and penalties regarding the black market have been abolished. Even if outsiders knew about it, they would just say a few gossips. What could they do?
But Sheng Yanchuan's identity made Uncle Sheng, Aunt Xiumei and Huiping stunned.
