The shops, merchants, and workers at the dock returned home with satisfaction, and many activities at the dock began to operate again...
Ning Hongwu was very satisfied with this. Seeing that it was almost noon, he waved his hand and asked the canteen at the dock to add more meat and vegetables, and bought some drinks to share.
At the dinner table, Liu Shen also took advantage of the opportunity to show off his arithmetic talents. While everyone was drinking, he clearly coordinated the various accounts of the dock in recent months.
A group of rough guys from the Qingsha Gang didn't have any special feelings. They just thought, 'This guy seems to have something, and there seems to be a lot of it.'
Only Ning Hongwu felt more and more that he had found a treasure, and his attitude towards Liu Shen became closer and closer, and he had the intention of treating him as a confidant and cultivating him well.
Many people at the wine table also noticed this, either enjoying it or making teasing toasts...
Liu Shen, on the other hand, was always welcome to come and drink with everyone happily. Occasionally, he would bring up the matter of money going under the table and make fun of it, making the atmosphere even more lively...
Until evening, Ning Hongwu and a group of middle-level members of the Qingsha Gang returned to their respective halls and safely handed over all matters related to the dock to Feng Jun and Liu Shen.
After a busy day…
On the second day, Liu Shen called Hu Dahai and Shen Hu and asked them to serve as the team leaders of a group of workers.
The shift leader does not need to do anything, he only needs to supervise the laborers in a step-by-step manner. Occasionally, he can also lead people to do private work and earn some extra money. It is a real job...
Hu Dahai and Shen Hu were moved to tears, and they said 'Brother Shen' sincerely.
But Liu Shen could feel that there was respect and fear hidden in their words...
From 'Brother Shen' to 'Brother Shen', the porters who were working and chatting together a few days ago, now have a sad diaphragm invisibly due to the difference in status...
Liu Shen looked a little cautious when he saw the two people leaving, and sighed melancholy.
Thinking that it had been several days since I went to the south of the city to see the young mistress to deepen my relationship, I panicked and thought nothing happened, so I told Feng Jun and went out.
When I arrived at Tongda Hall, I saw that Yuan Xiaofei and Dr. Zhang were not in the hospital, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused...
The old shopkeeper of Tongdatang also knew that he was friends with the young mistress. Seeing that he didn't seem to know what was going on, he hurriedly came over.
"Mr. Liu, I have been seriously ill in bed in recent days. My wife has not been here recently. Dr. Zhang is consulting me at the Song family, and Yuan Xiaofei has also gone to help."
"Master Song is seriously ill?"
Liu Shen was slightly startled when he heard this, and asked with a frown: "When did it happen?"
"About four or five days ago."
The old shopkeeper sighed and explained: "Doctor Zhang said it was because the young master passed away early and the master became ill because of his longing, so his health is getting worse. In addition, the master is getting old, so all the hard work may have been drained away..."
"this……"
Liu Shen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for telling me."
After that, he left the door of Tongda Hall and went to Song's house.
During the last trip to the Song family, Liu Shen learned that Mr. Song obviously hated him very much, but he still helped him understand the use of 'shi'.
In this regard, he still respects Mr. Song very much.
But he is also a person with a good face...
After knowing that Mr. Song hated me, he never went to the Song family again to make people annoying;
He also did not take the initiative to provoke the ambiguous relationship with Pei Xueyan...
But putting aside the 'face' factor, Liu Shen is Pei Xueyan's friend and a junior under the guidance of Master Song. Now that he has learned that Master Song is seriously ill in bed, he should go and visit him out of emotion and reason!
And according to the old shopkeeper of Tongdatang, Mr. Song is probably going to run out of gas and leave soon. As a junior, he has to visit!
Just arrived in front of the Song family...
The guard outside the door saw Liu Shen intending to come to the door, so he stopped him and asked, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Liu..."
Liu Shen glanced at the two of them with a slight frown and said, "I am a friend of your young mistress. I heard that Mr. Song is seriously ill, so I came here to visit. I hope you two can inform me."
The two looked at each other, and one of them said, "Allow me to pass on the message." Then he ran into the Song family mansion.
After coming for a while, the man came back again, and Xiao Yuhong behind him came over with a smile on his face after seeing Liu Shen, waving his little hands and calling: "Brother Shen, here..."
"Can I go in?"
When Liu Shen saw the guard nodding, he followed Xiao Yuhong into the Song family's residence.
Xiao Yuhong glanced around and said in a suppressed voice: "Brother Shen, you haven't seen the young mistress in the past few days. The young mistress has been complaining about you."
"oh?"
Liu Shen was surprised when he heard this, and explained with a smile on his face: "Brother Shen has been delayed by something in the past few days. I'll call him immediately if I don't finish the matter."
As he spoke, he rubbed Xiao Yuhong's head and asked softly: "Tell Brother Shen, why does the young mistress say that I am wrong?"
"My master has been seriously ill and has been in bed for several days..."
Xiao Yuhong said thiefly: "Young mistress is very busy at home. She complained to me last night that you were not here when I needed you most."
"..."
Liu Shen said nonchalantly: "There was an accident at the dock a few days ago. I really couldn't come. I just came here when I had some free time."
"Then I can't control it..."
Xiao Yuhong smiled narrowly and joked: "Brother Shen, you have to talk to the young lady about this."
"..."
Liu Shen sighed, changed the subject and asked, "When I came here last time, there were no guards outside the Song family. Did the young lady find this?"
"That's not..."
Xiao Yuhong glanced around again, and when she saw no one around, she explained softly: "Many people have come to the Song family to visit the old man in the past few days, including the young mistress's mother-in-law. Those guards were brought here by the young mistress's mother-in-law's family. .”
"Young mistress's natal family?"
Liu Shen frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why did they come to the Song family too?"
He has known Pei Xueyan for half a year and has a close relationship. He knows what Pei Xueyan's family background is like.
The Pei family was originally a merchant in Xiyang County next door, and their family was relatively well off.
The Pei family's parents favored sons over daughters, and Pei Xueyan, as the third daughter in the family, was naturally not taken seriously. Especially after the birth of her younger brother, she was marginalized...
A few years ago, something went wrong in the Pei family's business. The head of the Pei family asked someone to tell fortunes for the family. The fortune teller said it was because of Pei Xueyan's fortune telling.
At that time, the son of the Song family was in the prime of his wife's career. Mr. Song tried his best to celebrate his son's marriage. When the head of the Pei family heard the news, he was overjoyed and sold Pei Xueyan to the Song family.
It's for sale, not for marriage!
Mr. Song gave the Pei family a betrothal gift and settled an account of the Pei family, but the Pei family did not have any dowry. Even Pei Xueyan herself laughed at herself for being sold into the Song family...
Xiao Yuhong looked around and said softly: "My father, mother, and younger brother are still living in the Song Mansion. They said that my father-in-law is seriously ill. They are all family members. Living here can help take care of my wife and Song." master."
"My family?"
When Liu Shen heard this, his eyes moved slightly and he sneered, and there was some speculation in his heart...
It has been nearly two years since Pei Xueyan moved into the Song family, and she has not seen her mother-in-law from the next county come to visit her;
But now that Mr. Song is seriously ill and dying, the so-called maternal family is kind enough to come visit? Are you still going to stay in the Song family to take care of Pei Xueyan and Mr. Song?
Sake makes people's faces red, wealth and silk touch people's hearts...
The Song family later moved to Heyang County to settle down. After Mr. Song's only son passed away, the Song family's huge business had no heir. The only one who could inherit the family business was Pei Xueyan, the daughter-in-law with a foreign surname!
Now Mr. Song is seriously ill and his time is running out. Seeing that Pei Xueyan is about to take charge of the family, the Pei family came to visit the daughter who was sold, and began to regard themselves as in-laws...
The Pei family didn't come earlier or later, but they came at this time. If they said that their trip was not for the huge Song family business, even a dog wouldn't believe it!
"Brother Shen..."
Xiao Yuhong muttered timidly: "I don't like the young mistress's natal family. I always feel that they are weird."
"Ah…"
Liu Shen knew that she was still young and did not understand the complexity of human nature, so he rubbed her little head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Shen doesn't like it either."
"..."
