Leng Qingshu said dismissively, "You don't need to worry about this."
Don't you know your second aunt? Her vision is as narrow as a pinhole.
Don't go see your second uncle for now. Just tell your third brother everything.
Guan Yuxi smiled bitterly, wishing things were that simple.
She's not afraid of anything now.
I'm afraid that Aunt Wen is a bit dim-witted and will steal Uncle Leng's things to sell.
If she were to expose them in front of Li Nan, they would have a hard time even if they wanted to die a quick death!
Guan Yuxi still rushed off to Uncle Leng's house.
"Oh my, isn't this Factory Director Xi?"
These days, important people really have short memories! How long has it been since they last came to leave a footprint in our yard?
It had been a long time since I'd seen her, and Wen Er Ma had become much more sharp-tongued and mean-spirited than before.
Guan Yuxi's heart sank.
In this situation, it's likely that Wen Er's mother already knew something about the value of bronze artifacts!
She must have gone to the town, or even the city, to inquire.
It's just that without the aging solution and methods she has, she can't make "antiques".
Hopefully, while she's trying to find out, she won't be foolish enough to reveal everything!
Guan Yuxi pretended not to know anything and handed her the candy and snacks with a smile.
"Look at what Second Aunt is saying, you know I'm the factory manager, don't you?"
Being busy is definitely better than not being busy, because then everyone can make money.
Uncle Leng threw the hoe he was holding heavily into the stove and said impatiently, "Women are just all talk and no action!"
Xiaoxi has finally come all this way, aren't you going to hurry up and make some tea?
Why are you rambling on and on all day? I'm stuffed!
Guan Yuxi pretended to be unaware of the undercurrents between the couple.
Smiling, she took Wen Erma's arm and said, "Erma, don't bother. I've come today to tell you something!"
Uncle Leng looked at her in surprise.
Her intuition told her that what Guan Yuxi was about to say today was no small matter.
But why bring Wen Er's mother along?
Guan Yuxi nodded slightly, closed the door, and said softly, "Second Aunt knows that the things I asked Second Uncle to make are very valuable, right?"
"I......"
Wen Er's mother glanced nervously at her husband, wanting to deny it.
Guan Yuxi didn't give her a chance, glaring at her seriously, "Second Aunt, do you know that this is a matter that could cost you your head!"
Once exposed, not only you and me, but also our families will be implicated.
Those people are inhuman!
Aunt Wen was so shocked that her eyes widened. "How...how could this be?"
Uncle Leng knew immediately that she had probably inquired about it, and he was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.
Guan Yuxi quickly pulled him back, "Second Uncle, let's talk this out."
She looked calmly at Wen Erma and said, "I already mentioned this when I approached Second Uncle."
This money is easy to earn, but it absolutely must be kept secret!
You just went to look at it and inquired about the price, but you didn't take anything with you, did you?
Uncle Leng glared fiercely at his wife.
He said gruffly, "Don't worry, all my things are locked up, she can't take them!"
Wen Er Ma nodded guiltily in agreement.
Guan Yuxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Uncle Leng's items haven't been artificially aged, they're still considered impressive by experts.
You can tell at a glance that everything comes from the same person.
How can something newly made in modern times be made in the same way as an antique?
That's when the truth will finally come out!
"That's good. Second Aunt, to tell you the truth, this is a deal that costs your head."
The reason I was able to sell them for a good price was mainly due to the aging technique.
However, I also took a big risk, because the wages I paid my second uncle were not low!
"If you don't believe me, go out and ask around. Even if you don't just ask in the surrounding villages, you won't find anyone in the entire city of Hongshi offering such high wages."
Wen Er's mother's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head. "Yes, your second uncle said so."
Guan Yuxi's pay was indeed high.
But compared to what she sold, it was nothing at all, not even a fraction of what she earned.
Guan Yuxi felt a little tired looking at her like that.
"Second Uncle, let me make this clear from the start."
If these things are leaked, someone could threaten your safety, your second aunt's safety, or even Chunyan's safety.
That's not my fault, because I'm in a precarious situation myself!
Uncle Leng, his eyes wide and round, slapped Aunt Wen hard. "Speak up!"
Wen's mother angrily grabbed his ear, "Why are you being so fierce? I know."
Who isn't afraid of death! Even if it leaks out, it might not be us who leaked it!
She glared at Guan Yuxi with displeasure.
This brat, who are you trying to scare with those words?
She can sell it for such a high price without any problem, so why can't others sell it?
"I've said everything I need to say. Second Uncle, you should still keep a close eye on things."
"People die for money, birds die for food—Chen Ergou...is a prime example!"
"Chen Ergou is dead?"
Wen Er Ma was startled again.
Guan Yuxi didn't answer; she had already opened the door and walked out.
She didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
However, even living is harder than dying!
***
In the evening, Guan Yuxi ate dinner early and went to bed.
She was exhausted these past two days.
The garment factory alone was enough to keep her busy, not to mention her troublesome second aunt.
Who knows when this bombshell will drop?
She made up her mind. Tomorrow morning, she would first go to Li Nan's place to register and say that someone in the village had also pulled out something and wanted to copy it...
