Chapter 903 Investigating the past

  Chapter 903 Investigating the past

   "No, no, Uncle Chang, you don't need to worry about us, my fourth sister and I just walk around."

  Chen Shi said with a faint smile.

Su Xiaolu also showed a smile: "Uncle, what was the situation in this fruit forest before? I heard that it was not like this before. The fruits that hung last year could barely be eaten, right? How about earlier, was the fruit forest harvest good? Are the fruits delicious?"

  Such a large mountain should have driven many people from the nearby villages, but she looked at it from the top of the mountain, and there were not many families nearby, which seemed a bit strange.

  Su Xiaolu smiled, and his whole body warmed up.

  She looked very easy-going, and the originally rigid family relaxed a lot.

  The old man Chang sighed and said: "The harvest has not been very good in the past six years, but it is somewhat, not like last year..."

  Old man Chang suddenly stopped talking. Last year’s fruits belonged to the big family, and so did the loss. The two people in front of him are both from the master’s family. It’s really not good to talk about this in front of them.

   Realizing that the old man Chang didn't say any more, he just sighed thinking about the fruits of last year.

Last year, the flowering was very good, and the fruit was also very good. The helpers of their family got a lot of money for this, but when the fruit was ripe and picked, they were cut open with a knife, and the smelly rotten water flowed out. turned pale.

  One thought it was a coincidence, and two thought it was an accident, but all three and four were like this. Looking back at that scene, I still feel suffocated.

  Thinking about this, old man Chang felt that he couldn't open his mouth even more.

Su Xiaolu smiled lightly and said: "Since six years ago, the fruit has not been as good as it used to be. What about the past, what was the situation of this land before? Is the fruit sweet? Uncle, why are there so few families here? ?”

   Su Xiaolu knew what old man Chang was saying, so she naturally continued to ask.

Old man Chang smiled kindly. He felt that the girl in front of him was really kind-hearted. Thinking of the earlier time, old man Chang's eyes showed a touch of nostalgia, but as he recalled it, he still sighed: "Speaking of it It is also a pity. This place used to be a well-known fruit mountain. Not only our area, but also several surrounding villages all lived on fruit trees. Our Chang family, our ancestors were also big families. This fruit mountain is our family. industry."

"This fruit mountain has been rich for our Chang family for many years. Our ancestors have been taking care of the fruit mountain for generations. We can tell at a glance if there is any problem with the fruit trees. At that time, this area was full of village households, all of whom were descendants of our Chang family. , the patriarch led us really well back then, until six years ago, when the wealthy businessman surnamed Yuan bought Guoshan..."

  Old man Chang frowned suddenly, and he suddenly found that Guoshan seemed to have been getting worse year by year since then.

  Chen Shi already sensed what the old man was thinking, and he hurriedly asked: "What happened later."

The old man Chang sighed: "Then Yuan Changqing is not a good person. He tricked our patriarch into buying Guoshan, and our patriarch died of anger because of this. The patriarch's son was seriously injured, even a ten-year-old child was not spared. Chang Xian was beaten and disabled at that time. Yuan Changqing was backed by high-ranking officials in Beijing. Many households in our clan have moved away, leaving only four or five households of us. I was really reluctant to part with this piece of land, so I signed a contract. Cultivate the contract and help them manage the fruit trees."

"Since that year, the harvest of fruit trees has not been very good. Yuan Changqing is a businessman. Seeing that the harvest is not good, he can't keep it. At the beginning of last year, Mrs. Su came to visit the mountain. We are indeed I'm not telling the truth, and I'm really sorry, it's just that our ancestors have been on this land for generations, and we can't let go of it, but looking at it like this, we probably will move out soon."

  Chang Lao kept sighing, this mountain is their root, but unfortunately, everything has changed with the passage of time.

  The things in the clan are managed by the clan, good or bad, everyone is together, how magnificent it used to be, how deserted it is now.

   "Even if everyone is gone, the little uncle won't leave. The little uncle said that when he saves enough money, he will buy Guoshan back."

  A child's voice sounded, attracting the ideas of Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi.

  Su Xiaolu looked over, the little boy was about ten years old, very energetic.

  Grandma Chang didn't expect the eldest grandson to be straightforward, and she was afraid that he would offend the nobleman, so she pulled him immediately.

  Old man Chang looked at Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi and said, "The child is still young, don't blame the nobleman."

  Chen Shi waved his hand to show he didn't care.

  Su Xiaolu also smiled and said she was fine. She looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, who is the little uncle he is talking about?"

The old man Chang sighed: "It's the patriarch's grandson, Chang Xian, he is a poor man. When the old patriarch passed away, his father also passed away after being seriously ill. Two years later, his mother also left him alone. His lower body was disabled. It's been a very hard life for so many years, and I usually rely on beekeeping for a living, so don't take it to heart when the children say it casually, this fruit mountain already belongs to the Su family."

  Buy it back again, it's not easy, that's just the brat's arrogant words.

   "Where does Chang Xian live?"

  Su Xiaolu asked curiously, she was very interested in this Chang Xian.

   Before old man Chang could speak, Chen Shi said, "It's at the far end over there. If Fourth Sister wants to see it, let's go and have a look."

  Chen Shi naturally knew about the households living here.

  This Chang Xian, he also understands, can only be said to be a weird person.

"Yes, girl, if you want to see it, go and have a look. It's just that the child has a withdrawn personality. After experiencing so many blows, it is inevitable that he will be at odds with the crowd. If there is any conflict, please don't argue with him, just treat him as a That insignificant livestock."

  Old man Chang smiled gently and said, he can't stop Su Xiaolu and Chen Shi from going to see Chang Xian, all he can do is to please first.

Su Xiaolu looked at old man Chang and nodded with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, he was ten years old six years ago, so he is sixteen now. Speaking of which, he is still half a child. I am almost thirty, I don't care. Will argue with him."

  Su Xiaolu doesn't know old man Chang well, but she understands old man Chang's worries.

  After Su Xiaolu said this, old man Chang was relieved.

  Chen Shi and Su Xiaolu walked towards Chang Xian's house.

  Old man Chang watched from afar and sighed.

  Old lady Chang came out and said worriedly: "They don't think Brother Xian is unlucky and want to drive him away. There are so many rumors recently, and they are from the official family, alas..."

   "Don't talk nonsense, Mrs. Su bought Guoshan. Mrs. Su is in our Wuzhou. He is diligent in government and close to the people. They won't do that." Old man Chang hurriedly stopped old lady Chang from talking nonsense.

The old lady Chang immediately stopped talking, looked over with worry in her eyes, and sighed in her heart, she thought to herself, if this official wants to make things difficult for others, there are plenty of ways, Chang Xian is just a commoner, and he is useless, if he is not obedient, he might die Take them all in.
