Chapter 288 Beat Me to Death
"Bang~"
A novel was thrown at Wei Jiaxian.
Tan Min said with contempt, "Just tell me what I ask you. You've been trying to hide things all day long, and you still treat those old ideas as treasures, as if they're precious to anyone."
"you"
Wei Jiaxian took a breath, as if he was going to muster up the courage to fight with his brother-in-law Tan Min, but the next moment he softened and became silent again.
Li Ye looked at the brother-in-law and nephew and said with a smile: "This cannot be said to be the Four Olds. Some skills are still very precious. We have to respect their inheritance."
Hearing Li Ye say this, Wei Jiaxian felt embarrassed. He whispered, "They are not treasures, they are all fake things. I am afraid that they will be used by others if they are spread out.
You can’t fake it with a machine. If you really want to fake it, you can only do it by hand, and it takes time, at least one or two years, at most three or four years. If the time is not enough, it can’t be mistaken for the real thing.”
Li Ye was surprised. He realized that counterfeits also have different grades. The many "imitation antiques" he had seen in his previous life were not even up to standard.
In other words, things that are so good that they look real will not be appreciated by ordinary people. How can someone spend several years making something and sell it to an idiot?
The mallet should be a machine-made one.
After Li Ye understood, he pointed at the carved armchair and said, "What did you mean by using a machine to make this kind of chair?"
Wei Jiaxian said: "It means selling imitations at a clearly marked price. I see that many new furniture can make money now, so there is no reason why the old furniture can't make money."
"He wants to open a furniture factory," Tan Min said on the side. "I don't know what he's thinking. He's already not satisfied after just a few days of comfortable life. Do you still want to be a big boss?"
"I just want to be a big boss, and it's also for your nephew,"
Wei Jiaxian finally vented his anger and said angrily, "How much do I spend in a month? Who am I making money for? If you keep making trouble with me, I will make all three of my children get their heads shaved next year."
"You dare!!!"
Tan Min jumped up. His three nephews were shaving their heads. Was this going to piss him off to death as their uncle?
Wei Jiaxian snorted: "As a D member, don't you believe in those old ideas? What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Tan Min began to roll up his sleeves: "I'll let you know what fear is first!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, stop it! Things are tense these days. If anyone uses their fists, the joint defense team will be on South Street!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law and brother-in-law were about to go too far, Jin Peng quickly stopped watching and asked the two of them, "Let me ask you something. Has anyone from Qingshui County come to see Chen Jinhua recently?"
Wei Jiaxian and Tan Min finally calmed down, thought about it, and shook their heads.
"No one is coming? Are you really going to travel the world? Okay, you have guts!"
Li Ye was quite surprised because he had met Jiang Xiaoning twice and didn't think he was that brave.
Jiang Xiaoning's elder brother-in-law Zhou Qiangshun is a habitual thief. This time, he was under great pressure from the rumors. It was said that he went out to make money with Jiang Xiaoning, but it was most likely that he came to Beijing to "hide from the limelight."
But since the two guys are so skilled and bold, it has nothing to do with Li Ye.
Li Ye was friends with Jiang Xiaoyan and thought Chen Jinhua was a decent person. He didn't want her and her mother to be charged with harboring a criminal. As for whether Jiang Xiaoning would suffer misfortune along with his brother-in-law, it had nothing to do with him.
However, just as Li Ye and Jin Peng were about to leave, Wei Jiaxian suddenly said, "A few days ago, Sister Chen told Uncle Song that she always got up early every morning and delayed everyone's sleep in the yard, so she moved to the west yard. We didn't notice that there was someone else in his house."
"Um?"
Li Ye and Jin Peng looked at each other and felt that things were not unexpected.
The yard on the west side was very shabby. Jin Peng didn't like it at first. Later, he spent several thousand yuan to buy it for Lao Song and others to store their belongings.
After Li Ye went in, he found that it was almost uninhabitable here. There were two dogs, however, which barked at Li Ye and the others.
The two followed the traces on the ground and walked to the door of a dilapidated house at the same time.
There was a lock on the door, but there was no dust on the lock, which showed that it was often opened and closed.
Jin Peng walked around, found a brick, and smashed the lock open in just a few seconds.
"who?"
There was indeed someone in the room.
The timid one among them was Jiang Xiaoyan's younger brother Jiang Xiaoning. The other young man was in his twenties, about 1.78 meters tall, with a dignified appearance. He was holding a stick in his hand. He should be Zhou Qiangshun.
Jin Peng's eyes narrowed, he stretched out two fingers, pointed at the young man and said, "Put down the stick."
The young man felt the oppression from Jin Peng, but he did not put down the stick. Instead, he looked towards the window with wandering eyes.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoning finally reacted and said quickly: "Brother, this is one of us, a classmate of my sister. Don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple."
Zhou Qiangshun then sat on the bed next to him, placed the stick not far from his hand, and looked at Li Ye and Jin Peng vigilantly.
Jin Peng was about to teach Zhou Qiangshun a lesson, but Li Ye asked Jiang Xiaoning, "Why did you lock the door in broad daylight? Our neighbors said there was a thief in the house, but we didn't believe it!"
Jiang Xiaoning said nervously: "My mother said that things on the streets have been uneasy recently, so she doesn't allow us to go out and play, and she locked us up."
Li Ye asked again: "Does your sister know that you came to Beijing?"
Jiang Xiaoning didn't answer awkwardly, and it was obvious that Jiang Xiaoyan didn't know.
Li Ye laughed and said, "So you came all the way to Beijing just to drink in the house all day?"
There was a table in the room, on which were scattered two noodle bowls, two empty plates, and a bottle of white wine that was almost empty.
Jiang Xiaoning smiled awkwardly: "Nothing much, there's food and drinks."
Zhou Qiangshun next to him suddenly said: "Two meals a day, you also call it having food and drink? Your mother is too ignorant of the ways of the world. I am just a guest in your house."
Jiang Xiaoning was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Chen Jinhua's noodle shop was open during the day and closed at around eight or nine in the evening. Doesn't that mean he only had two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening?
Li Ye exchanged glances with Jin Peng and said with a smile, "Brother Peng, go buy some food. They are here in our territory, so we can't neglect our guests."
Jin Peng nodded and left, but Zhou Qiangshun rushed out: "I'll go buy it. Although we are guests of the Jiang family, we won't eat for free. I have money."
Jin Peng looked at Li Ye and nodded at Zhou Qiangshun, obviously asking Li Ye whether he should take this guy down.
But Li Ye slowly shook his head.
Jiang Xiaoning felt very uncomfortable and muttered in a low voice: "How can we let the guests spend money? What kind of thing is this?"
But an hour later, Jiang Xiaoning could no longer mutter.
Because it was already dark, Zhou Qiangshun didn't come back.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Xiaoyan came back in a hurry, dragging her mother with her.
As soon as she entered the gate, Jiang Xiaoyan shouted, "Xiaoning, where is the thief stealing?"
Chen Jinhua said anxiously: "Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense, they are relatives!"
Jiang Xiaoyan said angrily, "Relatives, what the hell? If Li Ye hadn't found me today, I would have been kept in the dark by you all. I asked you eight times before you told the truth. We don't recognize such relatives."
"Keep your voice down," Chen Jinhua said anxiously, pulling Jiang Xiaoyan, "She was wrongly accused and just stayed here. She said she was leaving yesterday, but after she left, your brother's relationship would be ruined."
When Chen Jinhua saw Li Ye and Jin Peng, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
Recently, Li Ye and Li Yue often visited her noodle shop and taught her about the law. However, since it concerned her son's lifelong event, Chen Jinhua still felt compassion.
Jiang Xiaoyan also felt very upset. Li Ye had helped her so much since the second grain store, but now he still had to worry about her.
What do they want?
"I'm sorry Li Ye, I just found out the truth. I'll ask them to surrender now."
"Why are you confessing? I didn't steal or rob. Besides, my brother doesn't want to implicate me. I'm going to leave on my own."
Jiang Xiaoning was unwilling, and while loudly expressing her resistance, she secretly glanced at Li Ye and Jin Peng.
He felt that Zhou Qiangshun was scared away by Li Ye and Jin Peng.
"Gone?"
Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned and looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye said: "He's probably gone. Ask your aunt to check the house to see if there's anything missing!"
"What? Don't you think my elder brother is someone else?"
Jiang Xiaoning jumped up three feet high, his face flushed with anxiety, "He is a chivalrous thief. Does Swallow Li San know that he robs the rich to help the poor, not the small families."
Chen Jinhua also said repeatedly: "No, no, that child doesn't look like a thief."
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Li Ye, and suddenly pulled Chen Jinhua to another room: "Hey mom, I told you to take a look, why are you hesitating?"
Jiang Xiaoning looked at Li Ye angrily and wanted to yell at him, but he was too cowardly to dare to do so.
"Oh my god! Who stole my money? Two thousand five hundred dollars! I hid it under the cracks in the bricks, and even the mice couldn't find it. Wuu ...
Chen Jinhua's crying sounded like a cry for death coming from the gates of hell, frightening Jiang Xiaoning so much that his face turned pale.
He knew that my mother was rich, and he had been pestering her these days to ask for some money, but Chen Jinhua only gave her food and didn't give her a penny.
In the evening, Zhou Qiangshun discussed with Jiang Xiaoning how much money Chen Jinhua had, which made Jiang Xiaoning feel very warm inside.
He felt that he was the son, and Chen Jinhua's money was his money, so it was natural for him to spend it.
But now when he suddenly heard the number of 2,500 yuan, Jiang Xiaoning felt that this was not money, it was his life.
Chen Jinhua ran in like crazy, grabbed Jiang Xiaoning by the collar, and said viciously: "Tell me, where did the money go? Did you take it?"
Jiang Xiaoning said aggrievedly: "Mom, you lock us up every time you go out, and you sleep in the room when you come back at night, how can I steal money?"
"You are still not honest, still not honest."
Jiang Xiaoyan looked around for a weapon, picked up the stick and was about to attack, it was obvious that she was really angry.
Li Ye quickly said, "I guess it wasn't your brother who stole it. Come here and take a look."
Li Ye led Jiang Xiaoyan to the window, pushed it open, and pointed at the tiny footprints on the windowsill.
It's not surprising that the window can be opened, but there is a brand new latch on the outside of this window, which is obviously newly installed, probably to prevent Jiang Xiaoning and Zhou Shunqiang from going out.
As expected, Chen Jinhua exclaimed, "I asked Brother Song to pound the bolt shut, how come it opened?"
Li Ye pointed at the footprints and asked, "43's Liberation Shoes, whose shoes do you think they belong to?"
Chen Jinhua was stunned, tears streaming down her face: "What bad luck is this? How could I have such a relative? I get up early and work late every day, but I earn money for others~~"
Jiang Xiaoyan finally swung the stick and beat Jiang Xiaoning until he screamed.
Jiang Xiaoning was jumping around the room screaming and howling, but Jin Peng and Li Ye stood side by side at the door, leaving him with no way out.
"My lady, I'm going to be beaten to death!"
"Beat me. Beat me to death. If you kill me, I will pretend that I never gave birth to such a scourge as you."
The third chapter will be available today, but it will probably be closer to one o'clock. Book lovers who are used to going to bed early can get up tomorrow morning to read it.
