The 21st day of being eavesdropped
Gu Yinxing was furious and her face was puffed up when she went home.
She parked her bike in the courtyard and just caught up with Song Jianshe's family. The family was dressed up brightly and eye-catching, wearing their best clothes. Even Song Chaohua rarely wore decent clothes.
Gu Yinxing looked them up and down.
Aunt Sun came out at this time and saw this scene. She asked, "Hey, it's already dinner time. Where are you going? Is there a wedding in your family?"
Song Mei pulled the red wool scarf around her neck and said, "Aunt Sun, we are not going to a banquet, we are going to a restaurant."
"Yes, my son wants to treat our whole family to mutton hotpot!"
Huang Xirong's voice was so loud. When he said this, he also looked at the Gu family, as if he was afraid that He Chunlian didn't know.
"Eating mutton hotpot, your family has made a fortune?"
Aunt Sun's eyes widened, and she was very surprised.
Mutton has always been expensive. The old Song family has a small family, but there are four adults and one child. So many people going to a restaurant will cost at least five or six yuan.
This is as much as the money many people spend on buying groceries for seven or eight days.
"How can that be possible?" Huang Xirong pretended to be humble and waved his hands, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, "It's just that my son is capable and picked up a good thing."
"Mom!"
Song Jianshe quickly called Huang Xirong.
Huang Xirong finally reacted, quickly covered her mouth, and interrupted with a smile: "Sister Sun, let's not talk anymore, we have to hurry up, we won't be able to eat good food if we are late."
"That's right, you go, you go."
Aunt Sun watched Song Jianshe and his family leave, and her face couldn't help showing envy. She shook the wild vegetables in her hands and
said to Gu Yinxing: "You said that the Song family is so lucky, they must have made a lot of money in the past few days. I smell them roasting meat all day long."
This is the bad thing about living in a big compound.
The neighbors are so close, and you can smell what dishes are cooked by the next door without leaving the house.
The Song family has always been frugal, eating only a few meals of meat a month, but recently they seem to have changed their ways, roasting meat every few days.
This really makes Grandpa Sun and Aunt Sun very happy.
"Who knows this? I think they shouldn't be too proud too soon."
Gu Yinxing couldn't help curling her lips when she thought of Song Mei's boastful look just now, "They have a little money to roast buns, and people who don't know would think they are very rich."
She was muttering when He Chunlian opened the curtains in the main hall, "Yinxing, what are you talking about after work? Come in and help me look after your niece. I still have to cook."
Gu Yinxing saw her mother glaring at her and shrank her neck, "Coming soon!"
She ran into the house quickly.
He Chunlian put down the curtain and poked her head with his finger, "I'll give you a brain for nothing. You tell Sun outside and she can spread the word to everyone later!"
"Just spread it."
Gu Yinxing pouted, "Others think the same way."
"Other people think, but no one says it. You are the fool."
He Chunlian was angry and glared at her, "Forget it, you go take care of Er Niu. It really doesn't make sense to talk to you."
He Chunlian really understood Aunt Sun's temper.
In less than an hour, everyone knew about what Aunt Sun had whispered to Gu Yinxing when the Song family went out to a restaurant.
While the Gu family was eating, they heard noise outside, as if Song Jianshe and his family were coming back from a restaurant.
Song Mei said loudly: "Yinxing, why are you mumbling about our family behind our backs? Are you jealous that my brother is more capable than your brother?"
"Yes, Yinxing, if you want to eat mutton, you should have told me earlier. Our two families are neighbors. If you had told me just now, it's not that our family can't take you with us." Huang Xirong was happy, her face flushed, and she looked very proud. She was obviously not drunk, but her expression was no different from being drunk.
She was proud.
Her son was capable. He sold the snuff bottle to their postmaster and made a hundred yuan in one transaction. He also got an industrial bond. The industrial bond was in great demand. He could definitely make ten yuan by selling it on the black market.
Who else in this compound could have such a skill as her son!
Gu Yinxing was very angry and stood up to go out.
He Chunlian shouted in a low voice: "Sit down!"
"Mom!" Gu Yinxing stamped his feet.
"Just sit down." He Chunlian said: "Eat your meal."
Gu Yinxing looked at his mother, but he couldn't persuade her, so he had to sit down.
Gu Jinshui smiled: "Yinxing, why are you in such a hurry? Just wait, it won't be long before they have something lively to watch."
"Really?"
Gu Yinxing's eyes showed expectation.
Gu Jinshui nodded, "Let them be proud first."
"Okay, I believe you."
Gu Yinxing sat down to eat.
He Chunlian rolled her eyes at Gu Jinshui and heard Huang Xirong still talking big outside, bragging about how much money their family spent on mutton and how great the business at Donglaishun was...
He Chunlian stood up, opened the curtain, and said to Huang Xirong and her son who were surrounded by people in the yard, "Hey, you spent so much money, can't your family make ends meet?"
Huang Xirong was a little proud when she saw He Chunlian come out, but when she heard her words, she immediately spat, "Pooh, you family is the one who can't make ends meet. This hot pot costs seven or eight yuan, and we can afford it. Who told my son to be capable and able to make money!"
She raised her hand so that everyone could see the gold ring on her hand.
The ring had been put away, but when they went to Donglaishun today, Huang Xirong insisted on wearing it, and Song Jianshe couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her wear it.
Song Jianshe himself was a little vain, and wanted people to praise his ability.
"What on earth does Jianshe do to make so much money?"
Sun Da Ye couldn't help but ask curiously.
Others also pricked up their ears.
The conditions of each family in their compound are average. Families like Song Jianshe and Gu Jinshui who have several formal employees are considered good. Most families only have one person who has a job, and the others just do odd jobs.
Everyone wants to make money, but unfortunately they can't find a way.
"I don't do anything, I just trade in antiques, and I just got lucky and made a little money."
Song Jianshe said modestly.
When he said this, he glanced at the main house, and it was obvious that he was talking to Gu Jinshui.
Song Jianshe originally wanted to keep the antique business a secret, but he was caught by Gu Jinshui and his mother told him about it. Song Jianshe thought to himself that he couldn't hide the fact that his family made a lot of money, so he might as well tell others about it to avoid making wild guesses.
"Jianshe has this ability?!"
The steward heard the commotion and came to see what was going on. Hearing this, he was surprised.
Song Jianshe pushed his glasses and said, "I'm lucky. Plus, I like to read some books when I'm free. It was a lucky chance." "
Oh my god, this is incredible. I've always said that Aunt Huang's son has a promising future!"
Aunt Sun praised him endlessly.
She went back into the house and took out a handful of dried dates and stuffed them into Song Jianshe's pockets, "Jianshe, these are dates my son gave me, authentic Miyun dates. You can try them and see if they are delicious. My son is not as capable as you. If you have a chance, you must help your brother."
"Auntie Sun, you're too polite."
Song Jianshe was flattered by the compliment and said, "How can I compare with Brother Sun's ability? Brother Sun makes a lot in a month at the timber factory."
"Hey, that little salary is not enough to support anyone, Jianshe, I have long seen that you have a promising future. You are a smart person, and more clever than others. If you help your brother, Auntie Sun will definitely thank you in the future."
Auntie Sun's mouth was as sweet as honey.
Song Jianshe's family was so flattered that they were at a loss.
Someone even said, "If you ask me, Jianshe has the best future in our compound. Jinshui can't even compare to you."
This sentence hit Song Jianshe's heart.
Song Jianshe had been competing with Gu Jinshui since they were young. In the past, Gu Jinshui was smart and could read, and Song Jianshe was suppressed for several years and could not hold his head up. It was not until Gu Jinshui married a capitalist lady and stopped studying to go out and mix in society that Song Jianshe took over his father's job. Only then did he feel that he had surpassed Gu Jinshui.
Unexpectedly, within a few years, Gu Jinshui made a lot of money by doing some business outside. Although he was not as respectable as a formal employee, he was seen eating and drinking lavishly every now and then. Who wouldn't say behind the back that Gu Jinshui was capable and good at dealing with things? Although
Song Jianshe's family conditions were good, they had to save money. The amount spent on food and drink in a month was limited. Even though Song Jianshe was the male in the family, he could only eat a few more bites of meat.
In contrast, how could Song Jianshe be mentally balanced?
Now that he had surpassed Gu Jinshui, Song Jianshe was so proud that he even signaled his wife Lin Lianhua to take out a pack of White Rabbit that they had just bought and opened it to share with everyone.
"Don't say that. How can Gu Jinshui and I be compared?"
Gu Jinshui laughed in the house.
He put up the curtain and stood on the doorstep, "Song Jianshe, what's the matter? What you mean is that I am not even qualified to compete with you?"
When Song Jianshe saw Gu Jinshui coming out, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, but he thought that he made money by his own ability, not by stealing or robbing. It was Gu Jinshui who was slow to act, so he couldn't blame him. He quickly said as a matter of course: "Jinshui, I don't mean that, don't think about it." "
Hey, your tone is different now that you have made money."
Gu Jinshui crossed his arms, "Song Jianshe, I advise you not to be too proud, don't cry when you fail later."
Song Jianshe's face changed slightly.
He was angry, but because of Gu Jinshui's reputation as a gangster, he didn't dare to fight with Gu Jinshui, so he said: "You are meaningless, you are jealous of me making money and say such things."
"I am jealous?" Gu Jinshui laughed, he nodded and said: "Okay, I reminded you with good intentions, but you look at me like this, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying this, he turned around and went back to the house.
Suddenly, a group of people walked in from outside.
The leader was a well-dressed and older man with some gray hair, but he was still very energetic. He walked in with a dragon-like and tiger-like stride, and his momentum was called heroic and proud.
"Director, why are you here?"
Just when everyone was wondering about the identity of the person who came, Song Jianshe called out the origin of the person and greeted him.
Director Chen was also stunned when he saw so many people in the backyard, but he quickly looked at Song Jianshe, "Song Jianshe, I have something to tell you, let's go into the house!"
"Dad, why are you giving him face? Let's make it clear here. Song Jianshe, what did you sell to my dad? I'll give it back to you!"
A young man next to Director Chen threw the thing in his hand at Song Jianshe.
Song Jianshe was sharp-eyed and recognized that the thing was the amber snuff bottle he had sold. He hurriedly caught it and saw that it was intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, "No, Director, Lian Chao, what's going on?"
Chen Lianchao sneered, "You keep pretending. My dad has a good temper, but I don't. This thing is fake. You used this thing to fool my dad for three hundred and fifty. Hurry up and give us the money and the industrial coupons!"
What?
Three hundred and fifty?
The snuff stick in the hands of the steward almost fell to the ground.
Three hundred and fifty is a lot of money.
Although many people earn about this amount in a year, in fact, this salary must be used to feed the whole family. Few of these families in the compound can afford 350 yuan. Those who can afford 200 yuan are considered to be well-off.
"Song Jianshe, you earned 350 yuan?"
Grandpa Sun's jaw dropped to the ground.
"What did he earn? He has to pay us back!"
Chen Lianchao's forehead was bulging with veins and his fists were clenched.
He is Director Chen's old son, and he is used to being very powerful. Song Jianshe has seen his temper, but he has always been good at dealing with things, so he has never really seen Chen Lianchao's temper.
Today, Chen Lianchao got angry with him, and he finally knew what a explosive temper was.
"Song Jianshe, although my son's words were harsh, you were the one who was dishonest in this matter."
Director Chen spoke with some anger in his voice, "This snuff bottle is a fake. You sold it to me for 350. If I want to pursue this matter, you are already in the police station. For the sake of our friendship, you return the money to me and the things to you, and we will write off the matter."
Song Jianshe was confused, but when he heard the word "police station", cold sweat broke out on his back.
Song Jianshe had been to the police station once before. Although he was not beaten inside, he was frightened by the mixed crowd inside.
"Director, don't be angry first, let's go inside and talk, there may be some misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Chen Lianchao pushed Song Jianshe impatiently, "Give us back the money. You can say it's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding. Anyway, we don't want this thing."
"No, Director..."
Song Jianshe was puzzled, and looked at Director Chen embarrassedly, "How could this thing be fake, you said in person that it is a good thing, rare to see!"
"That's because I thought it was amber."
Director Chen looked grim, "But my son accidentally dropped this thing into the water tonight, and it even faded. Touch it yourself to see if it has faded!"
Faded?
Song Jianshe lowered his head to look at the snuff bottle in his hand. At this time, the lights in the houses around him were on. With the help of the lights, he could clearly see a faint red and yellow color in the palm of his hand.
"How is it? You see it clearly, what else do you have to say?"
Chen Lianchao spat on the ground: "My dad trusted you so much and planned to arrange a housing quota for you, but you took my dad as a scapegoat! Pay me back, pay me back quickly!"
"No, it's not..."
Song Jianshe's face was full of confusion, "How can this be fake?"
Gu Jinshui smiled wickedly and crossed his arms, "There are so many fakes in this antique business, how come you can identify antiques? How come you don't even know this." Song Jianshe suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Jinshui.
When he saw the smile on Gu Jinshui's face, he reacted instantly.
"You, you framed me!"
"Hey, don't make random accusations. You sold fake goods to others, what does it have to do with me? Your family's wealth has nothing to do with me, but when something goes wrong, you blame me. Everyone, please judge. How can this be called justice?"
Gu Jinshui said to everyone with a wronged look on his face.
Everyone didn't know the inside story, and seeing that what Gu Jinshui said made sense, they all nodded.
"That's right. What does Song Jianshe buying fake goods have to do with Jinshui? Jinshui can't be blamed for this."
"Jianshe is not doing things honestly. Isn't he wrongly accusing a good person?"
Even Aunt Sun, who was very enthusiastic just now, murmured at this moment: "Jianshe, what's going on? Jinshui has nothing to do with this, but you have to have a good say in this matter."
Song Jianshe was almost furious.
How can it have nothing to do with Gu Jinshui?
It was obviously Gu Jinshui who took a fancy to the snuff bottle first, and it was Gu Jinshui who raised the price with him, so he would pay such a high price to buy a snuff bottle.
Now this snuff bottle is actually fake, how can this be tolerated!
