Day 65 of being eavesdropped on
Gu Jinshui made up his mind and said to his elder sister, "Thank you for reminding me, but I want to mind my own business this time."
The elder sister stared at Gu Jinshui with wide eyes, as if she was looking at a monster with horns on its head.
She said, "Have you really thought it through?"
Gu Jinshui nodded.
The elder sister had no choice but to say, "Okay, since you are willing, I have nothing to say."
She sighed and said, "You young people just want to take advantage of it, but you have to think about whether it is so easy to take advantage of it? You will be in trouble later."
The elder sister kept muttering, but she still told Lao Zhang what Gu Jinshui said.
Old Zhang looked at Gu Jinshui, "Did my elder sister tell you about the yard?"
"Yes, I already know about it." Gu Jinshui said, "If you are willing, I will give you a deposit of 10,000 yuan, but it will take me some time to get the rest of the money."
"There is no rush, as long as you can send the money within two months."
Old Zhang looked at Gu Jinshui, with some praise on his face.
He patted Gu Jinshui on the shoulder, "If you can cure that family, I will personally give you another 100 yuan off."
Gu Jinshui was happy to hear this, and said with a smile, "You are wrong about me. I am the most kind person and don't like to quarrel with others, but I don't want others to take advantage of me."
Old Zhang understood what he meant and nodded.
Gu Jinshui went home to get the money, and the eldest sister testified. Both of them signed, and the matter was settled.
"Both sets were bought?"
He Chunlian's jaw almost dropped to the ground. She looked outside, and when she saw that no one was around, she quickly pulled Gu Jinshui into the house, "Where can you find the ten thousand? Is it so easy to earn ten thousand?"
She frowned and thought, "I did save more than four hundred, but it's not enough."
He Chunlian became more and more worried. Seeing her son laughing foolishly beside her, she couldn't help but pat his head, "You are still happy, I was wondering why you are so greedy."
"Mom, when you took my money last night, you praised me for being smart."
Gu Jinshui shrank back and said with a smile.
He Chunlian rolled her eyes at him, "It's a different time now. I'm telling you, there are only a few people in our family, why do we need so many houses? Can we live in them? Besides, I tell you that even if we buy that house, we won't move out yet."
He Chunlian has her own concerns.
The Gu family lives a good life, and everyone can see it. It's nothing to eat meat every other day. Everyone knows that Gu Jinshui makes a lot of money, and everyone in his family has a job, so it's understandable that they eat well.
But if they live in a courtyard house, it will be too eye-catching. Not to mention whether the neighbors are jealous, people will also grumble about how the money came from, and it will inevitably attract some people's attention.
"Mom, you've heard from your granddaughter that this house will be valuable in the future,"
Gu Jinshui naturally had his own ideas, "and we can still live on the roof after we buy the house, don't you think this is a good idea?"
At this point, the old lady was really tempted.
Gu Jinshui hurriedly said, "Besides, we can clean up the whole house and build a stage for you to put on your belongings for performing, so you don't have to look for a site every time you want to perform."
He Chunlian loved drama all her life, and Gu Jinshui's words touched her heart.
She said with relief: "Okay, we've already bought it, you can tell me what to do with the money, don't keep me in suspense."
"Well, your son is going to go out of town, maybe he will be back in a month or two." Gu Jinshui bowed to He Chunlian, "I'm afraid you will have to worry about our family in the next one or two months."
He Chunlian really rolled her eyes at Gu Jinshui.
She knew that her son must be holding back, "Okay, get out, discuss this with your wife, if your wife agrees, I'll have nothing to say."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am." Gu Jinshui even made a thousand, which made He Chunlian laugh.
Liang Ying had nothing to say. She just said, "If you go alone, the road will be dangerous."
"I was thinking of asking Shanhu and Douzi who will go with me."
Gu Jinshui was obviously not going there just to make a fortune. He said, "In recent months, more and more people have been trading in grain coupons and foreign exchange certificates. This business is not profitable. I plan to take them to do something else. There are not many people in the antique business, and this business is considered to be decent. If they are willing, they can change their business."
Liang Ying nodded. "You make the decision. I'll pack some clothes for you. You have to bring some national grain coupons with you."
"My wife is still thoughtful." Gu Jinshui said with a smile.
Gu Jinshui originally thought that Douzi would be willing to do this, but Shanhu might not be. After all, Shanhu had just gotten married and was in the prime of his life, so how could he bear to go out?
But unexpectedly, it was Douzi who didn't go, and Shanhu who went.
Douzi touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "This place is too far away, my mother is worried about me going there, I'm sorry, brother."
"What's sorry, you're right."
Gu Jinshui was stunned for a moment and said, "Shanhu, you have to think it over carefully. You just got married, will your wife agree?"
"My wife will definitely agree."
Shanhu nodded, "My wife always tells me that I have to listen to you more. You are a smart person, and I'm sure she will listen to you."
Gu Jinshui's lips twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or what to say.
He said, "Then you have to go back and ask. If your wife agrees, give me her phone number and we'll set off the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Shanhu agreed without hesitation. Douzi
was embarrassed, probably because he felt that he was not being righteous. The next day he went to get a bunch of national grain coupons and a wooden shovel.
Gu Jinshui was stunned when he saw the wooden shovel, "Where did you get it from?"
"My brother's friend gave it to me. He said it was a homemade gun collected from the village."
Douzi said, "This bag is bullets. Brother
, you can shoot it." Three black lines fell on Gu Jinshui's forehead, "Are you okay? Your brother and I are going to shovel the land and collect things. Do you think we are going to fight the Japanese?"
"Then, then I'll take the things back?"
Douzi touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Jinshui looked at Mucang and coughed: "Don't make this an example. Don't get these things next time. I'll accept it this time."
This is Mucang. Gu Jinshui has seen others playing with it before. Those big gangsters all have some stuff in their hands. He never touches homemade guns, cannons, grenades.
This time he was in a hurry to go out. He didn't know what he would encounter on the way. It would be good to bring some things with him.
"By the way, brother, I encountered a strange thing today."
Douzi said.
Gu Jinshui asked: "What happened?"
"Didn't I go to find national food stamps for you today? I ran into your wife's cousin and your neighbor. They were all exchanging this. Don't you think this is a coincidence?" Douzi said with a smile, and didn't think about it deeply.
Gu Jinshui did not think much about it. Liang Renyi borrowed money from relatives and friends, but failed to go public and was in debt. He had to make some money by exchanging food coupons. As for Song Jianshe, this guy made a fortune and his family ate meat every day. Who knew why he wanted food coupons from all over the country?
After packing up, the train ticket was booked for five o'clock the next afternoon.
At night, Gu Jinshui asked Liang Ying to take out the small yellow croakers that Song Jianshe had given to Liang Renyi. These things were not easy to sell in Beijing, but it was convenient to exchange them somewhere else.
The next morning, He Chunlian baked a lot of cakes, steamed a pot of steamed bread, and boiled some eggs. Gu Yinxing was jealous, "Mom, are you going to cook enough food for my brother for a month?"
"Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about? Your brother and Shanhu are going out together. Shanhu eats a lot. I'll make more for him so he can eat enough on the way."
He Chunlian said, cutting the medicine quickly.
In the afternoon, the Gu family and Lin Lu came to see him off.
The train station was so crowded that Gu Jinshui was afraid that they would be squeezed, so when they reached the door, he said, "You guys go back. There are so many people inside that it's not crowded enough. Shanhu and I will go in."
"Okay, Jinshui, you and Shanhu must take care of each other on the road and be careful, okay?"
He Chunlian was worried.
Liang Ying said nothing, but just helped Gu Jinshui zip up his bag.
There is always a lot to say before leaving.
Not to mention that Gu Jinshui was reluctant to leave, even a rough guy like Shanhu had tears in his eyes.
There was no place to sit in the train station, not to mention the ground. People had already spread newspapers and sat and lay down. The sound of children crying, couples quarreling, and horns ringing from time to time made this place really noisy.
Fortunately, their train arrived soon. The two of them booked a soft sleeper, which was booked by Yan Rong. Otherwise, you can't book this soft sleeper ticket no matter how much money you pay.
"Brother, this is the carriage."
Shanhu, a tall and strong man, led the way and quickly found the carriage. He carried his bags and went in, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I have never been to the railway station before, and I didn't know there would be so many people in Beijing."
Gu Jinshui didn't say anything, his eyes were staring outside, as if he was looking at someone.
Shanhu was puzzled and walked over: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Gu Jinshui sighed, walked down quickly and closed the door.
A familiar voice came from outside: "Uncle Guo, is this the carriage?"
"Why ask? Hurry up and take the things in. I'm exhausted." The man who answered him was out of breath, and seemed to have some contradictions with the man who just spoke.
Gu Jinshui lifted the curtain of the upper window and looked out. The people who walked into the opposite carriage were not Liang Renyi and Song Jianshe. Who else could it be?
He opened the door and smiled, "What a coincidence, everyone is going out today."
Song Jianshe and Liang Renyi were startled.
They looked at each other.
Liang Renyi said with a wry smile, "Yes, what a coincidence, where are you going?"
"To Xi'an, you guys are not going to Xi'an as well?" Gu Jinshui leaned against the door frame, his hands in his pockets. He was tall and had long legs, so he looked very good in this carefree pose.
"Who is this?"
A well-dressed gentleman wearing a Zhongshan suit asked Liang Renyi and his friend.
Liang Renyi whispered, "My brother-in-law, we're traveling together!"
"Oh."
Guo Pu understood, he looked Gu Jinshui up and down, "You're so young, how long have you been in this business?"
"Is that okay for you to ask?" Gu Jinshui had a smile on his face but spoke politely, "Okay, I just came to say hello, I'll see you sooner or later, so that you don't think I'm avoiding you."
After saying this, he closed the door directly.
Guo Pu, who was standing opposite, had a look of anger on his face. He paused his cane and said, "I've never seen such an arrogant person."
Song Jianshe said in a gloomy tone, "Uncle Guo, you don't know that he is an arrogant person. He looks down on others just because he has a little knowledge."
"Young people don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Sooner or later, they will run into trouble." Guo Pu was flattered by Song Jianshe and Liang Renyi these days. He was a little lost. He didn't expect Gu Jinshui to not give him face at all, so he held a grudge in his heart.
