"I suspect my husband isn't human at all."
In 1983, by the old槐樹 (Chinese Scholar Tree) at the village entrance, Jiang Hongguo finished saying this to the visiting police uncl...
Chapter 40 Chapter 40 If Hong Guo couldn’t see the inside, she would never…
Hongguo decided to touch the place where Changzong's classmate's husband was beaten, and tell Changzong about it regardless of whether she could see it or not. She was not like Changzong who could not say anything, so she could say whatever she wanted.
"Guoguo, what are you doing?" Changzong was amused by Hongguo's behavior. She touched the stones in the grass, the trees on the roadside, and even the discarded old tires.
Hongguo was disappointed and surprised. She couldn't feel the trees and ordinary stones, but she could feel the antiques and jade before. She didn't give up, and finally found a fifty-cent coin in this area. She felt a very blurry picture, but not as complete and clear as the jade.
Hongguo seemed to understand that jade was useful to her, or rather, she was not capable enough after becoming pregnant and could only see the scenes on jade antiques.
At her uncle's house, she vowed to find the real murderer, but now she has been slapped in the face. She can't help Changzong vent his anger, and she has made him even more passive.
This time it was Hong Guo's turn to feel bad as if he had done something wrong: "Chang Zong, I seem to have let you down because of my arrogance."
Gu Changzong is fine now. Besides, no matter how serious the matter is, Hongguo's intention is definitely good. When she said those words to defend him at her uncle's house, he knew that he was wrong before. His uncles have never been his support. Hongguo's stable spirit is the one that he relies on.
Chang Zong smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I didn't find any pits, even if there are, it doesn't matter."
Hongguo felt guilty and told Changzong everything about her, saying that she had kept it a secret from him for more than a year. In fact, ever since she became pregnant with the baby, she could touch the scenes witnessed by antiques, jade and porcelain.
"I've been able to find switches since the day I found the purple jade grapes. Since then, I've used this ability to select real antiques and made thousands of dollars. This time, I thought I could find the real culprit by touching the trees and rocks and help you get your revenge. But you see, I can only see some fuzzy and shaking images on this 50-cent coin. I can't tell what time and what happened, so I can't find the real culprit."
After Hongguo finished speaking, she looked up at Changzong's expression. He was neither surprised nor disappointed, but had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was laughing at the fact that her little trick had failed.
Jiang Hongguo is a human being, with noble emotions and of course bad emotions. At this moment, she was so ashamed and angry about her arrogance that she wanted to hit Changzong who made fun of her.
"You're making fun of me." Jiang Hongguo was also amused by her own arrogance. "I really thought I could do it. How can I tell my uncle now? My uncle will get worse when I go back."
Gu Changzong didn't laugh at Hongguo. He thought her expression was very cute. Hongguo told him her most important secrets, and he was very happy.
Gu Changzong wanted to cheer her up, so he searched for a while and found a jade pendant that fell from the grass and mud when the husband of the classmate who spread rumors was beaten. He said happily, "Guoguo, look how lucky you are. This is jade. Feel it."
Hong Guo was surprised at first. How could Chang Zong find it so easily? Then she thought, he must have his own way. He was able to find it when he was looking for ginseng before, and Meng Qingdai was also able to find it before. Chang Zong was even better than them, so it was even easier for him.
After she figured it out, she stopped worrying. When she touched the jade, she saw what happened that day. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She told Changzong that her classmate's husband had an affair and was put in a sack and beaten by her fiancé and his men. He was afraid of losing his job and his wife finding out, so he gave the police a false clue. His wife happened to see Changzong, who had a fierce look in his eyes, so she thought it was Changzong's revenge. That couple was really weird.
Hongguo told Changzong what she saw and asked, "Changzong, I can only see what happened, so how can we reveal the truth without letting people know that it was us who did it?"
Gu Changzong was confident: "Isn't that simple? I'll ask the person who beat him to turn himself in. If he confesses, I'll give him some benefits in private. If he doesn't want to, I'll ask the person who got beaten to call the police. One side will eventually give in first because of the threats and inducements."
The idea is good, but Hongguo's personality makes it difficult to use it because he doesn't have the authority.
Gu Changzong agreed. He threw the pendant he had just picked up back into the bushes, and decided to send Hongguo back to the hotel while he went to do his business.
Jiang Hongguo was confused. She told the story and did it. Looking at Chang Zong who was calm and collected, she asked, "Aren't you surprised at all by my strange ability?"
Gu Changzong said, "I'm surprised. You don't take such a great ability seriously. Wait until I get things done. Then we'll go to the jade market, make a lot of money, and run away, leaving a legend behind."
Jiang Hongguo doesn't want to be so high-profile, she wants to take things slow and steady. Maybe what happened to her was nothing new to Changzong, so he was not surprised.
She no longer had any worries, with a smile on her face, and urged him, "Then go quickly."
Changzong was very good at handling these things. He could finish something that Hongguo found difficult in just half a day, and then leave for Pingzhou with an empty car.
Hongguo asked him if he was willing to give up the opportunity and earn less money?
"You weren't like this before."
Changzong drove calmly and leisurely, but what he said seemed shameless to Hongguo. He said that it didn't matter whether he or she earned the same amount of money.
"Guoguo, I'm really happy that you have this ability. If you make money, I must protect you, obey you, and stay with you all the time. I don't have to be separated from you anymore."
Hongguo really liked hearing this. The last time Changzong bought a color TV and gave his family 5,000 yuan, and when he said he knew the boss from Hong Kong, Hongguo felt a little uncomfortable.
She was so afraid that the distance between her and Changzong would grow larger and larger. Now Changzong's attitude made her feel at ease. Whether it was Hong Kong businessmen, stocks, or making money, as long as she needed it, Changzong would come to her without hesitation.
Hong Guo only asked one more question: "Chang Zong, will the Hong Kong businessman be angry if you leave without meeting him this time?"
Gu Changzong said indifferently: "He can't do anything to me, Guoguo, now that you have the ability to make money, I will definitely help you. I am such a good helper, why don't you want me?"
Jiang Hongguo was really happy. She said, "Changzong, how come you are getting better and better at making me happy?"
Gu Changzong also laughed. There was nothing he could do. Hongguo was so nice. Just being a Duan Zhiqing made him nervous. He would not be able to sleep if he didn't follow Hongguo.
He makes money to let Hongguo live a good life. He has experienced and knows how many troubles he has to deal with in the process of making money. Now that Hongguo can make money, she is foolishly unaware of the extent of the danger. Naturally, he has to stay by her side and protect her from the wind and rain.
…
Xiao Zheng had been to Pingzhou's jade market several times today. He had watched several small-scale gambling on jade, which had already caused his blood pressure to rise above the standard. When Hongguo arrived, he was so excited that he could not calm down. He took Hongguo to several stalls selling raw stones. The raw stone business was a matter of fortune and poverty, and ordinary people could not afford it.
Xiao Zheng said, "Sister, I have already touched the threshold of entry. Now I want to test whether your vision is accurate. If you lose, I will share half of the cost. If you succeed, it will be all yours."
Hong Guo smiled and said, "You said so. I'll be in charge of choosing and you'll be in charge of bargaining."
Hongguo touched and looked first. She had already understood the quality, color, and various grades of jade. She secretly noted down several valuable pieces. She was sure in her mind, so she asked Xiao Zheng to negotiate the price and buy all the six pieces she selected.
Xiao Zheng described Hong Guo as a complete novice: "My brother dotes on my sister. She wants to choose a few rough stones by luck, so I dote on her too. We buy six pieces at a time, so the price is cheaper. By the way, we only open one piece. If it's good, we'll be happy. If it's not good, we won't open the remaining pieces."
The boss saw that these people were amateurs and just touched the stones and made the decision. He didn't open them one by one, but bought six at a time. It was really crazy.
In the end, six stones were sold for 18,000 yuan, which was half the price of the transport truck parked outside. It turned out that this business of gambling on stones was not something that ordinary people could play.
The 18,000 yuan came from the family savings, Changzong's earnings from his previous trip, and Xiao Zheng's contribution. In total, he brought 20,000 yuan, but he was left with only 2,000 yuan after all he had spent.
If Hongguo couldn't see the inside, she would never dare to buy the raw stone to open.
After paying the money, the six stones became Hongguo's. The six raw stones were big and small. Hongguo chose a medium-sized one and went to the other side to cut it. Many people came to watch, and they were more excited than Hongguo and Xiao Zheng.
Hong Guo whispered to Xiao Zheng, "You taught me about the quality of jadeite. This one is the worst among the six. Let them estimate its price and we'll know how much we can earn. Don't open the rest."
Xiao Zheng swallowed nervously: "I understand."
"No regrets after cutting." The master shouted that if the raw stone is not cut, it has value, but if it is cut into waste, it will be worthless. Or if the water quality and color do not meet expectations, some people will collapse on the spot.
Hong Guo was aroused by the tense atmosphere and urged: "Cut it, I can bear it."
After one cut, the whole room cheered. The cut noodles were white with a green background, and there were almost no obvious flaws. It was very beautiful.
An expert estimated the price of the cut jade alone, which is probably worth around five thousand yuan. If it is processed and sold, it can be doubled. Some people also said that if she can open one more piece of this quality, she will get her money back. She still has five pieces of raw jade that have not been opened. Maybe she will be extremely lucky.
Some people even say that newlyweds have better luck, so they pick up the red fruits and open them again to see.
Hongguo saw such a beautiful jade. Each of the remaining five pieces was better than the one he had opened, but he didn't dare to open it because he would be envied if he did.
Xiao Zheng is indeed a sales negotiator. He said, "My sister is already very happy with this. As long as we don't open the remaining few pieces, she will be happy forever. If we don't open them, she will have endless thoughts. So we won't open them."
When Xiao Zheng said this, his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He couldn't imagine how beautiful the remaining five pieces would be.
Changzong was the most calm and composed. He found two workers, negotiated a price, and asked them to help carry the raw stones onto his car.
Hongguo pointed casually and saw that this piece was ice-type with floating flowers, which was better than the glutinous white-based green one just now. She let Changzong hold this piece. There was another piece classified by color, which was Yang Green, so she let Xiao Zheng hold it.
She was about to leave happily when suddenly a man who was watching the stone cutting in the crowd said, "I'll pay five times the price for these six stones. Do you want to sell them?"
