Chapter 736
The next day for breakfast, Xiao Cui was a little different from usual. When she was squeezing into her mouth, she secretly glanced at Chen Feng several times, with a tinge of redness on her face. Several times she opened her mouth to say something, but after looking at her parents, she stopped talking. Chen Feng knew that Xiao Cui already knew what Chen Shouye proposed.
Chen Shouye's face was a little lonely, and he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. However, Yang was still very concerned about Chen Feng as usual.
After waiting for a whole day, Chen Shouye and Yang Shi were a little depressed when they saw that Chen Feng had not mentioned what happened last night to him. Xiao Cui hid in the room and did not come out.
Chen Feng knew that he had not agreed in time, which had hurt their hearts. Chen Shouye and Yang would not have any resentment towards Chen Feng, but it seemed that they wanted Chen Feng to agree at once. However, Chen Feng had his own difficulties, but it was not convenient to say it out loud. Is the best way to refuse at once?
That night, Chen Feng did not practice for the first time and lay in bed toss and turned, unable to fall asleep.
It seems that the days of staying in Yinhu Town are about to end. Should I leave tomorrow or wait for a few more days? In short, I can't be here for a long time.
He couldn't sleep, so he got up in his clothes and planned to tell Chen Shouye the truth so as not to delay it for too long, and both sides would suffer even more.
Before Chen Feng could knock his fingers to the door, he heard the sound of Chen Shouye and Yang talking.
"It's a pity that Xiaofeng didn't agree. I like this child very much. However, there is no hope for this matter. Maybe Xiaofeng is thin-skinned and embarrassed to accept it. I've seen that after these days, I'll mention it to Xiaofeng again when the Spring Festival is over, maybe he will agree."
"Oh, it would be great if I could wait until the spring of next year. I won't hide it from you anymore. This time I went to Quanzhou to purchase goods, and the reason why I returned empty-handed was because I met Shen Wansan in Quanzhou."
"Shen Wansan? Is Shen Daguan from the Shen family who I and Xiao Cui often go to work?"
"Yes, it's him. He asked the butler to suddenly stop me and asked me to send Xiao Cui to his mansion after the New Year."
"What does it mean to send it to his mansion? Could it be..." Yang's voice suddenly became a little panicked.
"That's what you mean. Do you think I can agree? But his housekeeper pushed me down and said he had to agree if he didn't agree, and there was no negotiation."
"I immediately expressed my intention to ask the Nujiao Gang to help me argue, but who knew that the butler said that the second leader of the Nujiao Gang was Shen Wansan's nephew. He also threatened that if I didn't want my family to be destroyed, just go and talk." Chen Shouye said hatefully.
"No wonder you looked like you after you came back. That's why you were eager to get together the marriage between Xiao Cui and Xiao Feng?"
"Yes. I thought about it. The two of them decided early. Maybe Shen Wansan would change his mind. Then where is the place where people stay in the Shen Mansion? After many yellow-flowered girls were carried in, they were carried out a few months later and thrown into the river and flowing away!"
"If Xiaofeng doesn't agree, will we find another young man in the town?"
"Hey, how to find it? Shen Wansan's housekeeper has already spoken. No matter who it is, he dares not marry Xiao Cui! That is, Xiao Feng, who is from another place and has not gone out of the store. I don't know the situation, so I match them up. Speaking of which, I dare not hide this from him. If I marry Xiao Cui, he will take some risks. However, I do like Xiao Feng, the child. I had this plan half a year ago, but I always wanted to wait, but who would have thought about..."
"Boss, how can you blame me? I said that the child is still young, so I can wait another half a year to see Xiao Feng's character? But what should I do now?"
"Don't be anxious when the child is mother. I will tell Xiaofeng again tomorrow morning and tell him the truth. I have figured it out, we can't let them get married in a daze. If it really doesn't work, we left Yinhu Town before the New Year and settled in another place. We can't cheat the child."
"You are the leader, you think too much. That's all."
"It's a pity that you and Xiao Cui are going to suffer with me again. We finally settled down. How many days have passed? Alas..."
"You must not say that. If our family can be together, I am willing to eat braised vegetables."
Hearing this, Chen Feng finally understood the reason for this incident. When he thought of the boatman who was knocked into the water, his teeth were clenched and his heart was filled with anger.
He did not disturb Chen Shouye anymore, but turned around and returned to the room, changed into black clothes, and then went out and disappeared into the night.
At this time, the snow was falling tightly.
Wherever Chen Feng passed, there would occasionally be two barkings from dogs, and then there would be silent.
At the fifth day of the day, Chen Feng returned to the store and started packing his luggage. He found another piece of rough paper and left a text message to Chen Shouye's family:
"Uncle, aunt and sister Xiao Cui:
When you saw this letter, I had already left. Thank you for your stay and care during this period!
Sister Xiao Cui is a very good person. If I didn’t have so many special circumstances, I would definitely marry Sister Xiao Cui. But I can’t. Because my heart already belongs to the wider world outside. I have left, and maybe one day I will come back to visit you.
I have saved all the wages you paid for me in the past six months, and now I have put them under my pillow. There is another amount of money that belongs to Shen Wansan, and I will leave it to you. He has given you apologies.
In addition, Sister Xiao Cui, there is no chance to buy you a recorder. Those jewelry and beads will be given as dowry.
I wish you two elders good health and a happy marriage for Xiao Cui!”
The signature was signed and the letter was pressed on the table on the kang. Chen Feng took out some gold, silver and jewelry from the Qiankun cloth bag, as well as several decorative beads obtained from the ruins of the secret palace, and they were also left under the pillow and placed together with a pile of copper coins. The gold, silver and jewelry he left behind were not much, but it was enough for the simple expenses of the three of them for twenty or thirty years. More money would bring disaster, and Chen Feng did not want Chen Shouye's family to be troubled by the excessive money.
After packing his luggage, he walked out of the shop with a strong attachment. He gently closed the store door, afraid of making any noise.
At this time, the wind and snow became tighter. The bitter cold wind hit the snow particles on people's face, causing a faint pain. Chen Feng had to use his secret power to allow himself to walk normally.
Looking up, the sky was still dark. Looking around, there were not many lights in the entire Yinhu Town.
"Take care!" Chen Feng whispered, although he knew that Chen Shouye's family would not hear their words. However, after dawn, they should soon learn about the death of Shen Wansan and the noble slaves he raised and hired in his family, and the nephew who was the deputy leader of the Nuriao.
