In this story of daily life during the 80s, the once fat and ugly Chu Xuan is reborn in a small fishing village in 1983. In this life, she doesn't want to cause Mu Chenze's family to be rui...
Uncle Long's healthy eyes were filled with excitement. "That's right. Not only did he find out Chu Tian's background, he also found a way to get into the bathhouse with him."
Chu Xuan clapped his hands in approval, "Uncle Long, tell me in detail. Does he have a red butterfly birthmark?"
"have."
"God blesses those who work hard, and we finally found it!"
"Xiao Xuan, don't be too happy yet, listen to me."
"Could it be that the birthmark is not in the right position?"
"That's right. Chu Tian's red butterfly birthmark is on the upper part of his right arm."
Chu Xuan felt her mood plummet instantly. "Damn Liang Shi, did he give birth to so many sons just to deceive Feng Chunhua's eldest son?"
"Xiao Xuan, don't you think there's some pattern here?"
"Pattern?" Chu Xuan muttered softly, "Liang Shizhuan had a child with the wife of a man surnamed Chu. Does he have a grudge against the Chu family?"
Uncle Long chuckled, "I thought so too, so I did some in-depth research on Chu Tian's family. Chu Tian's grandfather had a feud with Liang Shi's father. The two sides fought, resulting in Liang Shi losing his father when he was ten years old. Liang Shi held a grudge against him for this. When he grew up, he made money outside and returned to Hai City to seduce Chu Tian's mother. After Chu Tian was born, he left a sum of money and never visited them again. Of course, what I found out may not be the truth."
Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Uncle Long, I always feel like something is wrong."
"I also feel something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. So I called you and Chen Ze over to discuss it. By the way, why don't I see Chen Ze?"
"Chen Ze had something urgent to do and couldn't come." Chu Xuan picked up a pen and paper and drew a relationship diagram of the characters on the paper.
Finally, he nodded at Liang Shi's name and continued, "Uncle Long, I know what's wrong! Liang Shi is obviously playing a game of chess. It's impossible for him to have a child with his enemy's wife just for revenge. Maybe Chu Tian is his designated successor! The less contact, the more suspicious it is. Who knows, there may have been contact secretly. If Liang Shi didn't choose a successor, he wouldn't have died so easily. Don't forget, what he does!"
Uncle Long disagreed. "I've thought about this, but Chu Tian looks a lot like Liang Shi. Wouldn't it be too risky for Liang Shi to choose him as his successor? He could easily be targeted by the relevant authorities."
"What if, on the surface, Chu Tian's life trajectory has no intersection with Liang Shi? That way, it won't arouse suspicion. Chen Ze has asked his classmates to investigate Chu Tian. I wonder if they can find more clues. By the way, Uncle Long, how much background information do you have on Chu Tian?"
Long Zhenxiao handed over a brown paper bag and said gently, "It's all in there. Take a look first."
Chu Xuan took it, opened it, pulled out a stack of information from it, and looked at it carefully.
Ten minutes later, his eyes fell on the information page of Chu Tian's wife Fang Tianjiao.
In her previous life, she had seen Fang Tianjiao's name in newspapers and bulletin boards. He was wanted for human trafficking.
But Fang Tianjiao fled abroad, changed his appearance, and changed his name...
"Uncle Long, the information you found is so important! Can you give it all to me? I want it to be delivered to someone who can put it to good use."
"No problem. Do you want to choose the jade first or go deliver the materials?"
"Let's choose the jade first! There's no rush for that day."
Chu Xuan took out a simple cloth bag from his pocket and put the information bag in it.
"Okay. I'll go with you to the sample room to choose. The last time your mom came to choose, many of the products weren't ready yet, so you could only choose from pictures. This time will be different. I've learned from the experience and arranged for someone to create a batch of samples."
Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up and said, "Your work efficiency is unparalleled."
Uncle Long laughed heartily, "To make a lot of money, I have to be very efficient at work!"
As they were talking, they walked into the sample room.
We spent the whole day selecting products and had lunch at the jade factory.
When it was getting dark, Mu Chenze came on his bike and had dinner with Uncle Long before taking Chu Xuan away.
After Uncle Long saw them off, he instructed Xiao Huan to make the jadeware according to the one Xiao Xuan had selected.
As for the payment for the goods, Tian Xiaoyun had already remitted a deposit of 30,000 yuan.
Xiao Huan did as he was told immediately.
On the way home, it was completely dark, but it did not prevent Mu Chenze from reporting today's situation to his wife.
They each rode a bike.
"Xiao Xuan, today Mr. Gu signed an order for 20 tons of crispy small yellow croaker with the village-run factory. But he has a small request. He wants to go fishing with the village fishing boat tonight. Grandpa Wang's family sent a fishing boat, and he asked me to go on board to entertain Mr. Gu and the others. So I have to ask for leave tonight."
Chu Xuan was speechless. "It's so cold, and Mr. Gu wants to go out to sea fishing at night? Isn't he afraid of catching a cold? You guys don't even try to persuade him."
"We tried to persuade him, but Mr. Gu said he grew up in the coldest province in China and is not afraid of the cold. His favorite thing is winter fishing."
"Okay then! Keep warm and be safe."
"Yes. Who else is going?"
"Uncle Mingchen and Liu Dapeng will also be there. The factory canteen will be responsible for preparing supper... Xiaoxuan, stop the car." Mu Chenze used the light of the flashlight tied to the handlebars to see a large rock not far away.
Chu Xuan quickly braked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Chenze responded in a low voice, "There is a big rock ahead. It wasn't there when we came here."
Chu Xuan unconsciously moved closer to Mu Chenze, "Could someone have put this here on purpose, waiting to do something bad?"
Mu Chenze turned the handlebars so that the flashlight could illuminate different angles. "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Observe your surroundings carefully.
There are woods on both sides.
Chu Xuan thought about the information he was carrying with him and must not let anyone steal it.
Whispering to Mu Chenze, "I have Chu Tian's information on me. Could it be that you are here for this?"
Mu Chenze comforted her softly, "Wife, don't be so nervous. I checked and there's no one nearby."
A gust of north wind blew by, and Chu Xuan felt a little uneasy. "Ze, do you still remember Zhang Qiu and the others?"
"Of course they remember, but they wouldn't dare do such a thing again."
"They really don't dare. But I'm worried that someone will bribe others to do the same thing."
"If any bad guys really show up, I'll hold them back while you quickly ride your bike to the county security team for help."
Having said that, Mu Chenze looked around again, but still didn't see anyone else.
If someone was hiding deep in the woods, he wouldn't be able to find them quickly.
Just then, a group of people came up on bicycles from behind.
Mu Chenze saw the people coming and turned his worry into joy, "Xiao Xuan, it's Wei Qiang and the others."
There is strength in numbers. Even if there are bad guys hiding in the woods, there is no need to be afraid.
Chu Xuan was delighted, "You came just in time."
Mu Chenze took the initiative to greet them, "Comrade Wei, where are you going?"
Wei Qiang recognized Mu Chenze's voice and said, "It's a normal night patrol."
Mu Chenze pointed towards the woods and said, "Do you usually arrange patrols in the woods? A large rock suddenly appeared on the road tonight. I wonder if someone wanted to stop the car or steal the bicycle."
Wei Qiang was always alert. "I'll take some people over to take a look. You and your wife can go back first!"
Mu Chenze looked at Chu Xuan, as if asking, should we just go or follow and take a look?
Chu Xuan wanted to verify whether he was being targeted again.
Follow them, maybe they can help.
"Shall we go and take a look?" (End of this chapter)
