Zhang Zhiguo hadn't finished his lunch yet when his uncle's voice came from outside.
Xu Ying felt that the voice sounded very familiar at first. When Zhang Zhiguo responded, the man followed the voice and came to Xu's house.
Only then did she recognize who Zhang Zhiguo's uncle was. Looking at that familiar face, Xu Ying's expression became even heavier. It turned out that they were all family members, and none of them were likable.
Zhang Jiujiang was also stunned when he saw Xu Ying. It was really a rare opportunity for them to meet here.
Knowing that Xu Ying had a sharp tongue, Zhang Jiujiang didn't want to communicate with her too much, so he called Zhang Zhiguo and went home.
Before leaving, I did say hello to Xu's father and mother.
After the person left, Xu Ying remembered that she had forgotten to ask what he wanted to do with Huo Chen.
Zhang Jiujiang looked at his nephew with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Did you find that boy?"
Zhang Zhiqiang shook his head and looked at his uncle curiously: "Uncle, what do you want to see Huo Chen about? When did you meet him?"
Zhang Jiujiang patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "He looks familiar to me, a lot like a friend of mine. I want to take another look to confirm."
There was not enough time at that time, so they said goodbye in a hurry. Even he himself was not sure whether it was really the same as he thought.
But didn’t that guy die?
Why are you here again?
Zhang Jiujiang became more and more uneasy.
If that kid is still alive, it will be difficult for the Magic City to deal with it.
He quickly told his sister and brother-in-law about this matter. If Huo Chen was really the child, they must stop this matter immediately.
Huo Chen must not be allowed to meet the people from the Magic City.
"Uncle, could he be your child who was left behind?" Zhang Zhiguo looked at him and joked, otherwise why would his uncle react so strongly.
Seeing that Huo Chen is about the same age as him, he can’t be an old friend. The only possibility is that he is his uncle’s illegitimate son?
When Zhang Zhiguo thought of this possibility, his mouth widened. His uncle had only one daughter, his cousin, in his life. After his aunt passed away, his uncle never remarried.
He always thought that his uncle loved his aunt deeply. Now it seems that he was indeed deeply in love with her, but the person was not his aunt, but someone else.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiguo became curious about what Huo Chen's mother looked like.
But Huo Chen and his uncle are not similar at all.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Your cousin is the only child in my life. I just thought that the child looked a bit like your mother and me, so I was our friend." Zhang Jiujiang was so angry at his nephew's foolish words that he wanted to beat him up.
Zhang Jiujiang originally wanted to call his nephew back for dinner. Now that he had already eaten, Zhang Jiujiang turned around and went to the village to inquire.
After finding Huo Chen's house, Zhang Jiujiang stood in the dark and watched until Huo Chen's figure appeared in front of him.
Zhang Jiujiang turned pale with fright. The child looked, so much like that man’s child.
"Huo Chen?" Zhang Jiujiang walked forward and called out tentatively.
Huo Chen had long noticed that he was observing him, but he had always pretended not to know. After returning from disaster relief, this man took one look at him and became quite interested in him.
However, it is not clear whether they are enemies or friends now, and Huo Chen did not dare to say anything rashly.
Seeing Zhang Jiujiang, he nodded: "Uncle Zhang, didn't you go back to the county?
Why did you come to our village?"
Zhang Jiujiang saw him turn around and pretended to be happy: "I just saw that he looked like you, I didn't expect it to be true."
Huo Chen looked at his poor acting skills and felt disgusted: "Well, my home is here."
"Oh, are your parents at home? I may have been in the village these days, so I just happened to visit your home." Zhang Jiujiang smiled.
Zhang Jiujiang was stunned for a moment and became even more suspicious. His parents were dead and he lived with his grandmother.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to ask Huo Chen how old he was or when his birthday was. After chatting with Huo Chen for a few more words, Zhang Jiujiang turned around and ran towards Huo Hanjie's house.
As soon as they arrived at Huo Hanjie's door, Zhang Jiujiang asked Huo Chen, who looked alert: "What are you looking for that boy for?
Who are you to him?"
Huo Hanjie's wife looked at Zhang Jiujiang and knew that she was a soldier who was involved in the rescue. She looked at the man and whispered, "Could this be the boy's family?"
Zhang Jiujiang heard this with keen ears, and immediately said with a smile: "I heard that Huo Chen is not Grandma Huo's grandson?
I saw that he looked a lot like the son of an old friend of mine, so I was curious and asked."
After Zhang Jiujiang finished speaking, he took out a few banknotes from his bag. When Huo Hanjie saw this, his eyes widened.
"Tell me everything you know. As long as you tell the truth, I will give you double the money." Zhang Jiujiang's eyes were full of brilliance.
Huo Hanjie was so attracted by the money that he lost track of directions. He answered every question Zhang Jiujiang asked.
Huo Hanjie told her everything, from when he took Huo Chen in, to how old the boy is and when his birthday was.
When mentioning the jade that Huo Chen wore when he was born, Zhang Jiujiang's eyes darkened a little: "Is there any word engraved on the jade? Does it say Fu?"
When Huo Hanjie heard this, he was immediately surprised: "How did you know, it was indeed Fu."
At that time, nothing had happened at home, and his relationship with his mother had not reached this point. When he picked up Huo Chen, he naturally saw the jade.
However, the jade was later put away by her mother, and he didn't know where it was.
"If you can help me get the jade out, I will build you a two-story house, exactly the same as the ones in your village." Zhang Jiujiang said generously.
Huo Hanjie's wife didn't even think about it and just asked her husband to agree.
"Why are you still standing there? Agree to it quickly!" Huo Hanjie's wife urged anxiously.
Huo Hanjie came to his senses immediately after being pushed by his wife, and nodded frantically.
It's just a piece of broken jade. Anyway, the old woman doesn't treat him as her son. Since the old woman is so cruel, don't blame him for being heartless.
Huo Hanjie is not a fool. Since he is a friend and the son of an old acquaintance, why not just recognize him directly? Why is he trying to steal the jade pendant now?
It seems that the man in front of me and that boy are enemies.
Since he is the enemy of my enemy, he must be his friend.
Moreover, this person is so generous, he must be rich.
Huo Hanjie looked at Zhang Jiujiang with a playful expression and said, "It's okay to steal the jade pendant, but you also know that my relationship with my mother is not good, so I can't even enter the Huo family.
If I steal this jade pendant, it might be difficult. I don’t know what to do.”
Zhang Jiujiang had experienced many ups and downs in his life, and he guessed Huo Hanjie's little thoughts at once.
He smiled and said, "As long as you steal the jade pendant, I will give you another thousand yuan."
Huo Hanjie didn't even hesitate this time and agreed readily.
After sending Zhang Jiujiang away, Huo Hanjie and his wife looked at the fifty yuan in their hands, as if they had just dreamed.
"His father, the wolf cub is going to die. That man definitely doesn't want him to go back." Huo Hanjie's wife was overjoyed.
