Chapter 806: They Are All Unreliable, and One of Them Even Killed Someone

It is said that poverty breeds evil, and wealth breeds conscience.

Zhang Yaozu and his parents were still harmonious more than a decade ago. At that time, his grandparents were still alive, the elderly were in charge, and they were frugal and planned.

Since the old man passed away, the family has no restraint, and they are all people who enjoy life. At that time, most people in the village only bought meat once every two or three months, but in their family, the smell of meat wafted every three or five days, which made a group of children greedy.

There was not much family wealth to begin with, and spending like this made Zhang Yaozu's family still poor when he was old, and he couldn't even borrow hundreds of dollars for the bride price.

Zhang Yaozu had no money and couldn't get married. The villagers couldn't help but point fingers. I don't know when the Zhang family started to become extreme.

Thinking of this, Su Chen felt a headache for Hu Shiliang.

Liu Chunhua sighed for a while before saying, "So I said to see a few matchmakers in advance, choose a good one, get in touch with her more, and if there is a down-to-earth and hardworking girl in the future, you can settle it for your nephew as soon as possible, and let them save the money for the betrothal gift in advance. It's better than being cheated of money like this."

Su Chen nodded subconsciously, and felt something was wrong.

At this moment, the little Ayun in his arms saw that the noodles were hot and stretched out his hand to eat them, and Su Chen's attention was immediately diverted.

"Ayun wants to eat too?"

"Ah!"

Liu Chunhua hugged little Ayun over: "Achen, you eat yours, Ayun wants to eat, I'll let July feed you later."

July...feed?

Su Chen just frowned, Liu Chunhua knew what he wanted to say, and explained.

"Fangfang said before, adults should not chew when feeding children, saying that they are afraid of bacteria, anyway, it's unhygienic."

"I just thought, we are unhygienic, and July's paper figures should not be, right?"

Su Chen gave a thumbs up.

After stealing a half-day of leisure, Su Chen waited for little Ayun to fall asleep again, and went to the basement to accompany Acai and Yueyue to study.

The two little guys have been taken care of by their older brother and sister recently, and they are very interested in learning. Acai is holding a pencil head and writing crookedly. Yueyue is also writing, but after all, she is younger and her concentration is not so strong. As she writes, she starts to draw small flowers.

A paper man is sitting quietly on the side, watching them.

When Su Chen came down, the two immediately surrounded him. Yueyue showed off the small flowers she drew, and Acai held the book and pointed at the words: "Dad, what do you read?"

Su Chen flipped through the book, it was a collection of poems.

"Where did you get this book?"

Yueyue answered: "Sister~"

Acai nodded: "Sister saved money to buy it."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know how much it cost?"

They shook their heads together.

Su Chen did not ask any more questions and began to teach the two little guys to read poems.

When Liu Chunhua ran down, Yueyue was reciting poems by shaking her head like Ah Cai.

Su Chen turned her head: "Mom, is someone here?"

"Just one person came," Liu Chunhua waved her hand, "Your uncle Shiliang called you, probably about Yaozu's matter."

Liu Chunhua couldn't help muttering when she went upstairs.

"I told the old man before that your uncle Shiliang couldn't hold on."

"He's going to the town these days. No matter whether he's right or not, he probably won't be able to go up if the matter gets out of hand."

"If he can get a job as an official in the town, he'll definitely be willing to pay you some money. I guess he's going to borrow money from you."

Su Chen frowned.

"Not that bad, right? Uncle Liang can't even take out two or three thousand."

Liu Chunhua waved her hand: "Who knows? Anyway, he wants to borrow money from you. As long as it's not much, you can lend it, and he will definitely pay it back."

"I know."

As a result, when he answered the phone in the living room, Hu Shiliang didn't say he wanted to borrow money, but talked about the road construction from the city to the town.

"The slope of Hutouwan is too steep, so they thought of turning a corner to go up."

"There is no sign of a grave there, but they dug and dug and found bones."

"If we encounter something like this, we should just buy an urn to store it and bury it somewhere else."

Su Chen asked, "Did something happen?"

Hu Shiliang sighed, "It's not an accident. There was no blood or death. It's just that the workers had a fever and sweated, so they couldn't start the work."

"They didn't think of the grave at first. The foreman asked us to drink and complain. We guessed and we're not sure."

"Achen, if you have time, come and take a look?"

He must be free.

Su Chen counted with his fingers, "I'll go to Hutouwan after dinner to take a look."

Hu Shiliang breathed a sigh of relief.

When Su Chen asked about Yao Zu, he sighed: "This matter has nothing to do with me, don't worry, what's more, if the scammer is caught, the money can be recovered."

Su Chen was puzzled: "Didn't they run far?"

"I just don't know," Hu Shiliang explained, "This group is organized, and several households in other villages were also deceived. They agreed to run together."

"Isn't the road from here to the city under construction? They were stopped at night, and they ran to Shuitou Town."

"It's very strange. The people and the car didn't even reach Shuitou Town. I don't know if the car overturned and fell into the river. Now we are checking along the road."

Su Chen nodded: "If we can catch them, it will be a relief."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen met several pairs of eager eyes.

"Hey, Chunhua, this is your youngest son, right? He looks so handsome. If you hadn't told me, who would have known that he already has five children?"

"Isn't it? But what's five children? He can make money. Look at this big house. He earned it all. He's very capable."

"You know what, Chunhua, your son looks like you. When you were young, you must have been a great beauty."

These few words made Liu Chunhua smile.

Su Chen's heart was pounding.

Before he had time to think about it, Liu Chunhua came over while July was pouring tea for them.

"Ah Chen, let's see which one is reliable and choose one."

"Otherwise, I feel so uncomfortable listening to these words every day."

Su Chen couldn't help laughing.

The next moment, his ears were gently twisted: "What are you laughing at? Look!"

The three matchmakers in front of him were all in their fifties or sixties, dressed quite decently, smiling, and wearing gold and silver.

Su Chen quietly observed their faces.

The one on the left had a slightly darker complexion, prominent cheekbones, and a slightly crooked nose. She was calculating.

The one in the middle was honest, but the tail of her eyebrows was a little sparse, she was impulsive and brainless.

The one on the right...

Su Chen just squinted his eyes to take a closer look while drinking tea, and saw a head sticking out from behind her, with a gray face and empty eyes, staring at him intently.

Someone's life is involved?

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and put down his teacup.

The three matchmakers were already talking to Liu Chunhua about the grandsons they were going to introduce.

Hearing that one was only 17 and the other was 16, the three of them frowned.

"Chunhua, your grandsons are still studying, right? Are you in such a hurry to find a partner for them?"

Liu Chunhua laughed: "How can I not be in a hurry? There are too few good girls, we have to grab them in advance."

"Besides, the betrothal gifts are getting higher every year. If we can settle it earlier, we may save a lot of money on the betrothal gifts."

The three matchmakers nodded their heads.

Liu Chunhua leaned slightly towards Su Chen when she saw this: "How is it? Which one is reliable?"

Su Chen: "None of them are very reliable, and one of them even killed someone."

Liu Chunhua was startled and couldn't help but stand up: "...Ah?"
