Guan Laoliu tried to pull away for a long time but couldn't get away. His face flushed with anxiety: "I really have something to ask Dong Xiaomai!"
"Tell me." Jiang Huashu walked up to Guan Laoliu with a smile, holding two bottles of wine that Suihe bought for Fifth Grandpa in one hand and a bag of snacks that Suihe had just handed to him in the other.
A night owl never comes into the house without a reason. This second-rate guy came to see his wife, so there must be something going on. As for what it is, just let him in first and a few words will tell him. The Guan family is a defeated family. Their parents have already eaten peanuts. How dare the rest of them dare to plot against his family again? No matter what it is, it won't cause any big trouble.
"Come, let's go inside and talk." Jiang Huashu said with a smile.
Guan Laoliu hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made up his mind, and followed Jiang Huashu into the house.
Fifth Grandpa wasn't home; he must have gone into the space. Ever since he'd mastered the space, the old man had been completely absorbed in it, and with so many workers brought in last night, he couldn't come out. I had to go with him to pick up an old comrade soon, so I had to make a quick decision on Guan Laoliu, Jiang Huashu thought.
The two girls weren't home either; they were probably at the handicraft factory with their wives. A few days ago, Professor Dong sent a message to the village chief, asking him to convert the handicraft factory into a factory for educated youth. The document was approved yesterday. The wooden sign is still being made; it'll be hung up tomorrow.
After entering the house and inviting Guan Laoliu to sit down, without pouring water, Jiang Huashu was too lazy to bother and asked directly: "Guan Laoliu, what exactly do you want to see my wife for? I hope you can tell me directly so that we can both be happy. As long as what you say is worth my effort and as long as your request is not excessive, I will try my best to satisfy you."
After hearing what Jiang Huashu said, Guan Laoliu stopped talking and took out a very small gold lock from his pocket.
"My wife had just returned from her parents' home with her child a few days ago and fell down as she walked in. She saw a small cloth bag on top of the doorbell. When she took it back home and opened it, she found this little gold lock. This is the gold lock that Dong Xiaomai wore when she came to my house. It used to be in my mother's money box, but then she hid it, probably to prevent you. My wife said that the gold lock would find its owner on its own, and now that it's out, it should be returned to its original owner, so she asked me to give it to you. My child is still young, so if you want to give it to me, just think of it as a gift for the child!"
Wow, that's a really nice way to put it! Guan Laoliu wouldn't have said that before. It's said that when you marry a virtuous woman, Guan Laoliu's wife was a good hand at making ends meet in Guanjia Village. She was pretty, quick-witted, and good at calculating. After marriage, she had little contact with Guan Laoer. Within a few months, something happened to the second wife, and the family of three changed their minds. So, in Guan Laoer's memory, Guan Laoliu's wife really didn't make much of a impression. When it came to Jiang Huashu, after filtering out useless information, the only material he could offer him was that she was good at calculating.
Well, I'll pay a little price. After all, this was Dong Xiaomai's personal belonging, so I'll keep it as a keepsake. What if this little gold lock can help her find her home?
He took out 200 yuan from his pocket. This was a huge price. Jiang Huashu wanted to give 150 yuan at first, but then he thought that gold was more than 20 yuan per gram now, and he had to take into account the labor cost. Even if this small gold lock was small, it was a solid lock and weighed several grams. If Guan Laoliu took it to the bank to exchange for money, it would cost about 150 or 160 yuan. So he just gave 200 yuan.
