Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity
Chapter 405 Another Visit
The old man was soft-hearted, and he had the idea of inviting a doctor to Cui. But thinking about how Cui had pretended to be sick and taken medicine before, and this time the doctor saw through her, and even prescribed her Coptis chinensis... If he invited Doctor Li to come again this time, it would be ungentlemanly...
Farmers don't have to see a doctor every time they get sick. Every family has their own folk remedies. This time, Mr. Sheng asked Xu to boil water, then poured incense ash into a bowl and made a bowl of gray-black soup. Then, Mr. Sheng asked Xu to give the bowl of incense ash water to Cui to drink.
Incense ash water is naturally bitter to drink. After Cui drank a whole bowl of it, although she choked and coughed repeatedly, it really worked.
Old Master Sheng guessed that Cui was holding back some anger and that once she calmed down for a while, her illness would naturally heal.
After Cui got better, she stopped making trouble, but she didn't say a word about what happened at Xiaolan's house. Lanhua was originally worried that if she thought about it carefully, she would not be able to explain this matter. After all, when she was at Xiaolan's house, she obviously tried to please Xiaolan's family and betrayed Cui. Now she just hoped that Shengxuan would come back quickly to save her son and husband.
After a night, Lanhua got the news that Sheng Xuan hadn't come back yet. Lanhua didn't sleep all night, couldn't eat breakfast, and knelt in front of Mr. Sheng and cried bitterly...
"People must have been sent out to look for him. Didn't they say that at the time? He doesn't have a fixed place, so it's hard to find him..." Grandpa Sheng said to Lan Hua, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I know what kind of person the third brother is like a mirror. He must have been delayed because of something..."
"Dad, of course I trust the third brother, but now, Xiaolan and Zhang are the ones in charge..." Xiaolan said.
The old man heard the hidden meaning of Lanhua's words, "No matter what, they are also members of our Sheng family... Besides, no matter which one of them, their character is better than yours..."
Lanhua was left speechless by Mr. Sheng's rebuke.
Old Master Sheng also had many complaints about Lanhua, but he couldn't scold his married daughter directly because she was a guest at her parents' home. But this time, the old man was really angry, because the reason why he fought with Cui was because his eldest daughter fanned the flames.
In the old man's heart, sons are more important than daughters. Lanhua came back to tell Cui about the brothers and their wives many times. After Cui heard it, she would find fault with her sons and their wives. But Lanhua never told these things to old man Sheng, because if she told him, it would only make him angry.
Under normal circumstances, Lanhua would not say these words in front of the old man, but now she was confused and she was really worried about Xiaojin and Zhou Shuren.
Lanhua saw that the old man didn't speak for her, so she turned to beg Cui, but no matter what she said, Cui was always frowning...
Time passed little by little, and by the afternoon, Lanhua saw that Sheng Xuan still hadn't come back, and she was so anxious that her mouth was covered with blisters. Lanhua had to ask for help from Grandpa Sheng again, "Dad, please go to the third son's house to check... I also know that the third son's wife has sent people out... and she has done her best..." Lanhua knelt in front of the old man, and this time she would not say a single unpleasant word.
Mr. Sheng brought Sheng Hong and Lan Hua to Xiao Lan's house, and they were immediately invited in. They were taken to the front hall, where Xiao Lan was already waiting.
At this time, Xiao Lan was checking accounts in the front hall. Seeing the old man coming in with his people, she hurriedly stood up to greet the old man, then asked him to sit down and served him tea and snacks.
Lanhua couldn't help but glance at Xiaolan. You know, there was no such hospitality yesterday. Today's Xiaolan was very different from the cold and arrogant Xiaolan of yesterday. She was extremely respectful to the old man today.
After everyone was seated, Xiao Lan spoke before the old man asked, "I was just planning to go to your house to see you and talk about something. Who would have thought that you would come..." Xiao Lan said with a smile on her face, "The person I sent out before said that he hasn't found my father yet..."
After hearing Xiao Lan's words, Lanhua's face changed immediately, and Mr. Sheng was also a little confused after hearing it.
"Didn't you find your father?" Grandpa Sheng asked immediately. "Even though I'm at home, I've heard people say that the place your father went to is at the border between the two countries... There are many Hu people or families of Hu and Han people over there... These people are different from us. They can't do anything. I heard that they would pull out knives at any time... I was worried when your family first said they were going to run a ranch over there..."
Xiao Lan's eyes moved between the old man and Lan Hua. She had naturally seen the changes in their expressions. However, it was interesting to note that what Old Man Sheng was worried about was that Sheng Xuan would not be able to return safely, while Lan Hua was concerned that Sheng Xuan would not be able to return and no one would come to save her family... Xiao Lan thought that Lan Hua was probably still thinking that her family was deliberately delaying time or something like that...
No matter what, the old man always has his own son in his heart, and he is also concerned about Sheng Xuan's safety.
"My father went out this time because he was afraid that some trouble would happen, so he took a lot of people with him... He didn't resort to knife-wielding or anything like that... But with Butler Su following along, he can always help..." Xiao Lan said.
When Mr. Sheng heard that Sheng Xuan was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good... In the future, if there is any problem over there, don't let your father go. You have many shopkeepers and managers under you, just let them go and take a look..."
"This time, my mother and I actually tried to stop my father from coming, but he wouldn't listen. He said that he would be worried if he didn't go and see it with his own eyes. After he comes back this time, we will definitely persuade him more and try to stop him..." Xiao Lan said.
"Yes, that's right. Your father is not young anymore... Well, your father looks easy to talk to, but he has a stubborn temper..." said Mr. Sheng.
