Chapter 67 Chapter 67 No need for others, Hongguo and Changzong, since...

Hongguo asked the salesperson how it was possible for someone to force him to buy the item at only one tenth of the price?

The salesperson said that he was a bully on this street. His brother-in-law was called Qi Guangfa, who had some power in the provincial capital and was the second in command of a large enterprise. He had strong connections and called Boss Xiao Zheng, who said he would sell it. So he sold it for 3,800 yuan to avoid disaster.

When Hongguo heard the name Qi Guangfa, she felt guilty for a moment. His grandmother's student took the lead in withholding the antiques that her grandmother had deposited with her during her period of being sent down to the countryside. Now, this man married a good woman and took over her father-in-law's job and joined the best state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital, becoming a leader.

In order to consolidate and strengthen further, he let his little daughter marry the younger brother born to Changzong's mother after remarriage. He is currently engaged. His stepfather has a lower position than Qi Guangfa, but his grandfather is a government leader and has not retired yet, and his second uncle is the deputy director. This marriage is icing on the cake for Qi Guangfa.

Hongguo is not sure what Qi Guangfa wants to do, so she decides to go to his unit first using courtesy before force.

Hongguo went to Qi Guangfa's unit, found the security guard, told him her identity, and the security guard went in to notify everyone. Then she waited for a long time, but no one asked her to come in.

Hongguo knew that this was a show of force, so he turned around and bought two packs of good cigarettes, handed them to the security guard, and asked him to go in again and help ask.

"I know the leader is busy, but our two families are related in a roundabout way. If he doesn't want to see me, I can only go to his house. I don't want to raise the issue of family members. Can you help me ask?"

The man looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he quickly put the two packs of cigarettes into his pocket.

He observed the leader's expression and realized that when he went in just now, the leader was obviously in a good mood. He didn't see him after he reported his identity and didn't even respond. This was a show of power.

The eldest brother gave Jiang Hongguo some advice: "Sister, do you have any conflicts with your boss's family? Think about what your boss likes and try to get help from his family. If you wait here, how long will it take?"

Hongguo understood that it seemed that she had no choice but to go home.

The reason why Hongguo came to the unit instead of going home was because the man Changzong's mother remarried lived in the same family compound and building as Qi Guangfa, otherwise how could they become in-laws.

Hongguo never wanted to see her mother-in-law unless it was absolutely necessary. The two sides had always been at peace, and she didn't want to come, but in order to find Qi Guangfa, she had no choice but to come.

Hongguo hoped not to meet Changzong's mother, but the opposite happened. Changzong's mother had just come back from making the popular big wave hair. She was very surprised to see Hongguo. Subconsciously, she thought that Gu Changzong had also come, so she quickly turned around to look around and made sure that Jiang Hongguo was the only one there.

Chang Zong's mother blamed Hong Guo for being ignorant: "Why didn't you tell me before you came? What's the emergency? Can't your second uncle handle it? Do you need to come to me?"

Hong Guo wanted to roll her eyes, but she held back and explained, "Aunt Gu, I'm here to see your neighbor Qi Guangfa."

Gu Lanxin actually felt good about calling her aunt instead of mom. They didn't have much affection to begin with, and they kept it separate and no one took advantage of the other.

Qi Guangfa's position is higher than Gu Lanxin's second husband's, but Gu Lanxin is not afraid of him. Qi Guangfa's family could have moved to a bigger apartment, but they haven't changed it yet. It's not for the sake of gaining a good reputation, but because he wants to be neighbors with her family. Now they are even in-laws.

Gu Lanxin said: "Oh, so, then you can come to my house and wait."

Hong Guo said, "Aunt Gu, I'll wait outside."

Gu Lanxin is really weak in family affection, but she is not a bad person.

Last time, when she heard that Gu Changzong could cure diseases, there was a fuss for a while. Her brother arrested the person who spread the rumor and took her to several hospitals for examination. Now that the matter was over, she did not think she was wrong, nor did she blame her own son. Anyway, they were not close before, and she had nothing to say now.

She went home and made a phone call, then came out and said to Hong Guo, "I called Qi Guangfa, and he said he'll be back after get off work. Why don't you go back after a while?"

"Thank you, Aunt Gu." Hong Guo thought about it, borrowed the phone from Gu Lanxin's house and called home. She told Gu Changzong about her situation, and Gu Changzong said he would be there soon.

When Gu Changzong comes, he wants to see his biological mother. Hongguo says it's okay if she can't come. Gu Changzong says it's not a problem and asks Hongguo to wait for him.

After the call, Gu Lanxin didn't let Hongguo leave. She brought her a plate of snacks for guests, which included peanuts, melon seeds, sesame candies, and very expensive imported candies. She said that her family was well off and she didn't envy others.

Gu Lan thought to herself, "I heard that you and Chang Zong are doing well in business, but I don't want yours. I heard what they said about the last time I treated the patient, so I asked about it. Your second uncle scolded me so much, which made me angry. But it's all in the past, so I won't mention it. What's the matter that brought you to Qi Guangfa today?"

Hong Guo told him about Qi Guangfa's instigation of his brother-in-law to force him to buy it, and then said, "I was going to donate that jade gourd to the museum, but unfortunately, it was bought by Qi Guangfa, who only paid one-tenth of the price. It's too much of a bully. I have to take it back."

Gu Lanxin sneered, not at Hong Guo, but at Qi Guangfa.

"He is bullying you. It's probably useless for you to come here alone. It's not safe to ask your second uncle, unless you ask your grandfather to come forward. But Grandpa Changzong doesn't care about such trivial matters. Think about it carefully. How did you offend him?"

Hongguo thought that the matter of taking back her grandmother's antiques had been known, but she was not sure and did not dare to say anything.

Hong Guo said, "I'm not sure. Let's ask him when he comes back."

Chang Zong arrived very quickly. He and Gu Lanxin had little to say. In the past, he had to consider pretending, but after a trip to the mining area, some people knew his identity, so he didn't even need to pretend.

Gu Lanxin saw that her own son was strangely cold, and she didn't want to pretend, so she called Qi Guangfa again to urge him, saying with dissatisfaction: "If you don't come back, it will be so uncomfortable for the neighbors. If you have anything to say, come back and explain it clearly. If you don't like him anymore, just give him the same surname as our Gu family."

With this phone call, Qi Guangfa's wife, daughter, and Gu Changzong's half-brother all came back, but Qi Guangfa did not come back.

A few people were very hypocritical and said that Qi Guangfa was busy and would talk about it in a few days. They also invited Gu Changzong and Hongguo to have dinner with them.

Gu Changzong was too lazy to talk to them: "I don't need to waste time talking to you. If Qi Guangfa doesn't come back, then I will go to his unit."

It was obvious that something was not going well. Gu Changzong, his half brother, had a blood relationship with him after all, so he wanted to remind him, but his fiancée held him back and stopped him from saying anything.

His brother shrugged for a few seconds, but finally broke free from his fiancée's hand and said, "Brother, you were the first to be unkind. Grandma Yan left you an inheritance, but you still thought it was not enough. Who did you partner with to blackmail Uncle Qi and the others with the IOU? Tell Uncle Qi who has the IOU. If you want to get back the things sold in the store, we can naturally negotiate."

After hearing this, Hongguo felt relieved. It turned out that no one here knew that the person who collected the debt was Changzong in disguise, but why did they suspect Changzong?

Now some people say that Hongguo quickly asked: "How can you put the blame on Changzong?"

Qi Guangfa's daughter was very dissatisfied: "It must be God who saw it. Your son was playing with the purple jade grapes. Wasn't it the antique that Lawyer Qian sold to decorate the small building? How did it end up in your hands? And my dad's jade cabbage, in order to raise money for that bearded man, my dad even sold the jade cabbage that he gave me as a dowry. Now it's in your hands, and you're saying it has nothing to do with you?"

What’s even more infuriating is that they actually let their children play with their precious heirlooms.

Hongguo understood. She would be away for more than a month, and she took all the valuable things at home with her and left them in Shenzhen with Lao Zheng for safekeeping. Lao Zheng also agreed. It was okay to let Diandian play with her in the room, but how could he take her out and let Qi Guangfa's daughter see it.

His daughter was buying wedding supplies in Shenzhen. When she saw it, she came back immediately and told Qi Guangfa. Then Qi Guangfa came to intimidate Gu Changzong and Hong Guo.

Gu Changzong suddenly realized that everything has two sides. He was originally very annoyed that Wei Liangzheng knew his secrets, but now it seems that this may not be a bad thing.

He had already decided to beat Qi Guangfa up to let him know how powerful he was, and that if he got beaten he could only blame himself for his bad luck, and that Hongguo should not be bullied.

Gu Changzong turned around and took Hongguo downstairs: "Guoguo, while you were waiting for Qi Guangfa here, Wei Liangzheng called home and said that Yu Shan might have come to the provincial capital. He asked me if I could help find him. I said no."

Hong Guo was surprised. What was Yu Shan doing here? Should he be hiding at the border for a while?

Hong Guo asked, "Have you changed your mind now?"

Gu Changzong smiled and helped Hongguo to the co-pilot seat in a good mood. "If Wei Liangzheng can use his ability to help me, I can use mine to help him. I will beat Qi Guangfa until he dares not to mess with us. If Wei Liangzheng doesn't help, I will probably be locked up for a few months. Guoguo, can you do it alone when I'm not here?"

Of course Hongguo can do it. She and Changzong are self-employed and there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, Wei Liangzheng can't even help with such a small matter, so why should she help him with something big?

…

As soon as Hongguo and Gu Changzong left, his younger brother felt uncomfortable. He would have to endure the complaints from his girlfriend and future mother-in-law again, so he expressed his attitude first.

"Mom, why is my brother like this? We haven't seen him for so many years, and we haven't thought about him, and he hasn't come to our house. Today I gave him extra face and reminded him, why is he still like this? It's not like we were kids, why are you still so petty?"

Gu Lanxin smiled contemptuously. How could being cold and indifferent be wrong? She hated her ex-husband's deception and didn't even want to take care of their children. She felt that she had no problem. If the old Cheng family didn't care, she could also ignore it.

However, she is not hypocritical when she speaks, at least she says what she thinks.

"What's wrong? I'm the same kind of person. His father and grandmother are even colder and colder. Isn't it normal for them to become like your brother? I actually hope you can be a little colder and not be fooled before you even get married. Remember, if I can ignore your brother, I can ignore you too. If that day comes, don't come to me crying."

When Qi Guangfa's wife and daughter heard this, they looked unhappy.

Qi Guangfa's wife felt sorry for her daughter and complained, "What was your father thinking? You will suffer a lot in the future if you have such a mother-in-law."

The young couple who were about to get married had never suffered from hardship since childhood and were spoiled. They both thought they were right, so they quarreled at the door. Gu Lanxin heard it but didn't come out. She really didn't care.

…

Hongguo and Changzong have already arrived at Qi Guangfa's unit. Hongguo did not allow him to go in and cause trouble, so she waited at the door.

Changzong looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour before the end of get off work, so he went to buy a sesame seed bun and a bowl of wontons, then held the bowl of wontons for Hongguo to eat.

Hongguo was used to his kindness, but her eyes were still sore. She ate a bite herself and then fed Changzong a bite of wonton.

The two of them were so foolish that they finished eating the wontons and sesame cakes on the roadside.

Qi Guangfa came out soon, with a few people around him. It seemed that they were going to have dinner. So, when Changzong’s mother called, he didn’t even think about going home. He just responded verbally. Is he like this at work too?

He previously climbed to the second-in-command position by relying on his wife's bonuses, and now he wants to go one step further by becoming relatives with Changzong's grandfather's family. With this in mind, he even dares to find fault with her and Changzong, because he thinks that Changzong has no backing and his uncle and grandfather will not care.

But now, they don’t need anyone else. Hongguo and Changzong are their own backers. Hongguo and Changzong went over and stopped Qi Guangfa from leaving.

Hong Guo didn't need to be polite with him: "Qi Guangfa, you came to my store and bought my 38,000 yuan ornaments for 3,800 yuan. Return them to me, otherwise I will never forgive you."

Qi Guangfa's face turned red, he would not admit to forcing the purchase: "That was normal bargaining, please don't block the door of my unit, security guard, kick them out."

The security guard came over quickly. Hong Guo deliberately got pushed and didn't get up. "This is terrible. Qi Guangfa abused his power for personal gain and beat people in the street. I'm going to be beaten to death. Changzong, please save me."

Gu Changzong came here to beat people up, so he kicked the security guards out one by one. The kick he gave to Qi Guangfa was not that light. He remembered Hongguo's words and was careful with his words. Before people from the unit came out, he had already hit Qi Guangfa's face so hard that it was swollen.

Qi Guangfa crawled behind the crowd, covering his face which was so swollen that it was invisible. He felt his mouth was numb and he couldn't speak.

This is not right. Is Gu Changzong crazy? Jiang Hongguo thinks she can rely on the Gu family? How is it possible? The Gu family is very careful about their reputation and will not care about the affairs of a child who has been abandoned by the family.

They were doomed to die, and they would rather suffer these injuries than let Gu Changzong go to jail.

…

Gu Changxin already knew that Gu Changzong had beaten Qi Guangfa and was taken to the local police station.

On my second uncle's desk, there was a newly arrived letter of cooperation. The old director was about to retire, and he personally reminded him that the unit requesting cooperation this time was very important and he must make sure to get things done.

"Look, the cooperation letter says that we must do our best to find this young man named Yu Shan. If it's really difficult, you can ask your nephew Gu Changzong for help. Maybe he has some information. Changxin, you just need to know what's going on. I've called the director of the local police station. Go and pick up your nephew."

The second uncle was confused, but time was very tight and it was important to get the business done, so he hurried to the police station and met his calm nephew.

After not seeing him for more than a month, he came back and beat people, but he didn't seem to be afraid. The second uncle didn't bother to ask any questions and told Gu Changzong to go with him and talk after they got out.

Gu Changzong smiled. It really worked and was very easy to use. It turned out that when people are useful to a certain extent, they will be taken care of. Of course, Guoguo said that you cannot do evil, but it is still possible to resist the bad guys who bully you.

Gu Changzong negotiated the price: "Uncle, if you want me to go out, it's fine. One for one. If I go out, someone has to come in. Lock Qi Guangfa in, and then I can go out."
