Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Hongguo, I saw that he and your Changzong...

Jiang Hongguo asked Gu Changzong what he and Xiao Sun were going to do this time. There was no easy money in the world. If you paid two or three thousand yuan per person, you had to earn several times more from him before he could pay you this much. Hongguo understood this principle.

Gu Changzong said: "Xiao Sun has a collector friend who wants two assistants to accompany him to collect a batch of goods. Xiao Sun will go with him to keep an eye out to prevent receiving fake goods. Cheng Qizhen will go with him as an assistant. The boss said one assistant was not enough, so Cheng Qizhen wanted to ask me to go."

It sounds nice to say that he is an assistant, but in fact he is a laborer and a bodyguard. Xiao Sun is a strong man, and it is not enough for him to follow him. That would definitely be dangerous.

Jiang Hongguo didn't allow him to earn this money: "Did you promise him?"

Gu Changzong couldn't make his own decision, but he really wanted to go: "Guoguo, you said you wanted me to make friends. If my friends have problems, shouldn't I stand up for them?"

Jiang Hongguo still didn't teach him well: "You've had a wife and Diandian for only a few months. If he really regarded you as a friend, he wouldn't have dragged you into doing dangerous things. Two or three thousand yuan is not worth the risk, so don't go."

Gu Changzong was not aggrieved or angry, but happy. Compared with a few thousand yuan, Hongguo didn't care about money. He was so happy that he said immediately, "Then I won't go. Guoguo, I'll go tell Cheng Qizheng that I have invested a lot of energy in him. If something happens to him, all my efforts will be wasted."

Jiang Hongguo felt that his reasoning was awkward, but it was better to say it out loud and let Changzong go and talk without showing any mercy. As for Xiao Sun, Hongguo didn't want to say anything.

She remembered what her father had said. Poor people also have hateful aspects. Before Xiao Sun's divorce, she was controlled by her ex-in-laws and had to do whatever she wanted. Now she doesn't think clearly and wants to do risky things. Maybe she hasn't learned her lesson yet. She doesn't care about such trivial matters.

Gu Changzong replied to Cheng Qizheng, looking down on him with an imposing manner: "Hongguo said that this trip is dangerous. I am too important to her. Even if she is given 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, she won't exchange my safety for money. I advise you not to go. There will be endless troubles."

Cheng Qizheng asked him, "Brother Zong, if your Hong Guo asked you to cook and wash clothes at home for the rest of your life, you wouldn't be able to refuse her request, right?"

There was no age difference between them, only strength. When he called him brother, Gu Changzong felt that he was trying to get close to him.

"Of course, I can't refuse Hong Guo's request."

Cheng Qizheng said: "Sun Aiqin is very nice to me, and I can't refuse her request."

Gu Changzong stopped trying to persuade him. He felt a little sympathy for Cheng Qizhen. He had never seen true goodness. Fortunately, he met Hongguo first.

Chang Zong came back. Jiang Hongguo asked about the situation. Cheng Qizhen and Xiao Sun still wanted to go, so she didn't ask again. She felt that the people who came with Chang Zong were so powerful, but they were restrained and had to listen to their other half. It's true that there is always someone better than you, so whoever you meet will have a big impact on you.

Originally, Xiao Sun wanted to return the IOU, and Hong Guo was very happy, but people's personalities are too complicated. Xiao Sun relied on her man's ability and still wanted to go even though she knew the trip was dangerous.

Chang Zong didn't know if he understood correctly, so he asked, "Guo Guo, I listened to you and gave up on making this money, you won't feel bad, right?"

Jiang Hongguo was not impatient at all. Chang Zong liked to hear her say, "Even if I can earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan this time, I won't let you go. The more you pay, the more dangerous it is. I don't want that kind of money. Just stay at home."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Changzong was really happy. The proud words he said in front of Cheng Qizhen were not exaggerated at all. In Hongguo's heart, he was much more important than money.

…

On the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Xiao Sun and her husband left. Sister Shan was envious and came to Hong Guo's house to chat: "Hong Guo, I never thought that Xiao Sun would resign with her boss just because she had her husband."

Jiang Hongguo had a complicated attitude towards Xiao Sun, but she said something fair: "Sister Shan, how can you say that? She has a better job, so why can't she resign?"

Sister Shan said, "You don't know the inside story. She owed her boss a lot of favors. The boss of her antique shop was a nice guy and asked her to consign the antiques he had collected. But before the end of the first month of the lunar year, she left without saying anything. How can the boss find a replacement?"

That's not very fair, Hong Guo said: "Maybe the boss gave too much this time."

Sister Shan asked around for some information and raised her hand to wave, "I heard that the boss said that if everything goes well this time, he will give Xiao Sun 30%. A big reward will always bring courage. Why didn't you ask your Changzong to go?"

The more this happened, the more Jiang Hongguo refused to let Changzong go, saying, "My family has no relationship with the boss, there is so much money to be made, how can we get it? I know what I am doing."

Sister Shan admired: "Hongguo, it's no wonder your man praises you outside every day, you really love him."

The more Jiang Hongguo knew, the more she felt sorry for Changzong, for letting him take such risks.

Although Sister Shan had known Hongguo for a short time, she liked being with her and invited her to go to the antique street to buy plates.

Jiang Hongguo also wanted to go. If he could come across a real one this time, he would buy one and then find a way to sell it to see if he could make a profit from the difference.

The two of them walked to the door of the antique shop where Xiao Sun used to work. Sister Shan pouted and asked Hong Guo to look inside: "Xiao Sun left suddenly, which made her boss very angry. She asked her nephew to come over. Did you see the young man inside? He is a distant relative of your Changdong. You don't know that, do you?"

How could Jiang Hongguo know: "Sister Shan, how did you know?"

"Xiao Sun told me before he left this time. I just found out that your Chang Zong is Xiao Sun's grandson. Tsk tsk, you can't be blamed for this. Chang Zong's grandmother didn't even have contact with her own son for decades, let alone her grandson. Xiao Sun also said that your man's family has too complicated relationships. He has a grandfather, a step-grandfather, a biological father, a biological mother, a step-father, and a step-mother. The one inside is a distant relative from your biological grandfather's side. Let's go in and take a look. Does he look like your Chang Zong?"

Jiang Hongguo blamed Xiao Sun for being too talkative. She and Chang Zong had not figured out the relationships in Chang Zong's family. They had not been in contact for many years. Even Chang Zong took his stepfather's surname. With such a family relationship, it would be best for them to remain in contact with each other, just like before.

Just as they were hesitating, the lady with the sheets pulled them in. The young man who was watching the store put down the storybook in his hand and enthusiastically let them look at it at will. If anyone liked anything, they could call him.

Sister Shan likes young people like this, who are enthusiastic and yet distant, making guests feel comfortable.

She tried to get close to him, saying, "Xiao Sun used to work here. I'm her neighbor and I come here often. Is the boss not here today?"

The young man explained: "My uncle is sick, so he asked me to come over to help. Clear out all the inventory in the store. Now they are all sold at a loss. If you like any of them, you can take one or two. It's very cost-effective."

Sister Shan and Jiang Hongguo raised their eyebrows, as if she was right, and then told the young man to look for themselves. Then they pulled Jiang Hongguo to look from the side of the door, whispering, "Look, I was right, wasn't I? When Xiao Sun left, her boss got mad and fell ill."

Jiang Hongguo said, "It's possible that Boss Zheng was ill before. We shouldn't talk about it until we know for sure."

Jiang Hongguo did not talk about Xiao Sun in front of her, but let Sister Shan admire her character. She could not see the bowls and plates she liked here. Sister Shan pulled Jiang Hongguo away: "Hongguo, I have seen that he does not look like your Changzong. Let's go."

Jiang Hongguo was attracted by a emerald green jade Buddha pendant. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before, so she told Sister Shan that she wanted to see the jade Buddha: "This one is very beautiful and it suits my taste."

Sister Shan knew that Hongguo's family had the money to buy some antiques, so she told the young man, "Bring out this jade Buddha so we can see it."

The young man smiled and said, "Sisters, that is not an antique, it is just a pendant made of ordinary new material. The material is not good. There are a few more with good materials. Can I show them to you?"

Sister Shan was delighted and said to Hongguo, "Look, this young man is quite honest."

Jiang Hongguo wanted to see this, so when the jade Buddha was taken out and handed to her, she touched it and suddenly saw Master Wang, her former driver from the county town.

When she saw the jade, she remembered that she had rushed to the scene of the car accident and hugged Chang Zong who had climbed up. Master Wang was being rescued and the doctor had moved the pendant that was in the way aside.

This jade Buddha is just an ordinary pendant, not an antique, but what Master Wang said in the scene shocked Jiang Hongguo. He was holding his wife on the hospital bed, and asked affectionately and sadly: "Why didn't you ask me until you died whether I was the man you used to be?"

His wife worked hard for half her life, and coupled with an incurable disease, her hair turned gray. She shed tears and said, "I don't want to know. These six months have been my happiest days. It's a pity that I'm not lucky enough to grow old with you."

Master Wang also shed tears and said, "But I want to tell you that I am no longer your original man, but I like you very much."

Jiang Hongguo's heart was pounding with fear. How could Master Wang dare to say it? If he could say it, would Changzong and Xiaosun not say it?

She quickly held the jade Buddha again and continued to watch what Master Wang said.
