Chapter 67: Guilty Conscience...What's the matter with the one who came to visit?
The story was split into two sides.
On one side, Xiang Chen squatted in the wild grass about half a person tall, gritting his teeth as he listened like an eavesdropper. He wished he could engrave every word of those three people in his ears so that he could go back and inform his uncle, seeking revenge for the wronged wife of the deceased Xu Dashan.
On the other side, something unexpected happened to Song Wenbin and Xu Hengzhou.
Earlier, Song Wenbin brought his two children to pay tribute to Xu Dashan, followed by a crowd of villagers watching the spectacle. They didn't dare to get too close, but with the large crowd, they weren't far away either.
As for the distance, it's hard to say. They couldn't completely hear what Song Wenbin and the other two were saying, but they could vaguely catch snippets of their conversation.
Song Wenbin chattered to Xu Dashan for quite a while, mentioning Xiang Chen and Xu Hengzhou more than once, referring to them as "your son" and "your child." After a while, the villagers caught on.
The villagers sighed at the extraordinary experiences of the Xu brothers. A baby abandoned and a lost child, surviving the harsh winter months and even being found by the soldier. Isn't it remarkable?
If we talk about the difference in appearance between Xu Hengzhou and Xu Gouzi, it's worth mentioning that when Xu Gouzi got lost initially, he was not even eight years old, and his features hadn't fully developed. He inherited decent looks from his mother, with no prominent features. Over the past decade, looking at him in haste, although the villagers marveled at his handsome appearance, who would dare to stand up and say he is not Xu Gouzi?
As for Xiang Chen, it's even simpler. The youngest son of the Xu family was thrown away shortly after birth, seen by very few people. Children change so much, and hardly anyone can recognize them.
The villagers knew Song Wenbin's identity, so hearing him say this, they all assumed that Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen were the two sons of Xu Dashan.
Looking at the two young men in their bright and shiny appearances, some villagers, whether with good intentions or ill intentions, pushed a curious boy, about eleven or twelve years old, into the crowd, saying, "Shi Dan, hurry home and tell your dad that his big brother's two kids are back, better return the house to its rightful owner!"
The boy named Shi Dan, mingling in the crowd and enjoying the spectacle, blinked when he heard the villagers talk like this, not understanding what they meant. Other villagers laughed and urged him to quickly go home and deliver the message.
It wasn't exactly a gesture of goodwill. Everyone knew that the family of Xu Laigou had mistreated the children of Xu Dashan's family. If they were to return, they would not get along well with that family.
Shi Dan, pushed around by others, although not understanding the meaning behind their words, hurriedly ran home. When Xu Gouzi and his brother faced trouble, he was only two years old and hadn't formed any memories.
Upon reaching home, he found the family door unexpectedly locked in broad daylight. Shi Dan pushed a couple of times but couldn't open it, realizing that the door was locked from the inside.
He stood at the door, knocking on the wooden boards and shouting, "Mom? Dad! Open the door for me!"
After shouting for a while, the courtyard gate opened a crack, and Xu Laigou's wife peeked out from the gap. Seeing only her youngest son standing at the door, she half-opened the door and quickly pulled him back inside.
