The 78th day of being eavesdropped
"You, what do you mean?"
Tom looked at Gu Jinshui warily. If he had regarded the people in the mainland as fools before yesterday, then after last night's blow, he realized that there are also smart people in the country, and they don't show their talents.
"It's meaningless." Gu Jinshui smiled very kindly, "Aren't you unhappy that the things you dug out don't belong to you? We are happy to do so, just sell the house to us, besides, you are leaving tomorrow, and it's useless for you to keep this house."
Gu Jinshui shook the bag in his hand and said meaningfully: "You can take the money in it back and buy whatever you want."
The muscles at the corners of Tom's eyes were twitching.
He was silent for a moment, and somehow he said to George: "Give me the money and return the key to them."
George was stunned for a moment, and Tom whispered: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up!"
George's face was gloomy, so he had to step forward and exchange with Gu Jinshui.
Gu Jinshui smiled and said: "Now it's all right, you see your loss has been recovered, and we have also got the house back. We don't care about borrowing the house for the comrades of the Cultural Relics Bureau to study and explore, as long as we go back and level the ground."
The Cultural Relics Bureau dug up antiques, and suspected that there might be other places in the house, but because the house was too big and there was not enough time, they didn't start.
Director Lin said happily: "Thank you very much for cooperating with our work."
"You're welcome."
Gu Jinshui shook hands with Director Lin.
Lin Wenxiang and his friends were outside. It was almost noon when Gu Jinshui and his friends came out. Lin Bohu hurriedly helped his father up and asked, "He Fei, Jinshui, what happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tom and his friends coming out from behind.
Lin Bohu immediately shut up.
Gu Jinshui said, "We haven't eaten for a long time. Why don't we go to your house and talk while we eat."
He held his stomach. He really hadn't eaten a single bite of food since last night. If it wasn't for seeing the matter being done, Gu Jinshui would have been unable to hold back.
"Yes, yes, let's go to our house. We have everything at home."
Lin Wenxiang hurriedly greeted him.
Tom walked over here, his face was grim, veins were bulging at the corners of his eyes, and he was holding a cane tightly in his hand. Everyone was on guard and stepped back.
"Gu Jinshui, you are great. We will meet again in the mountains and rivers. You wait for me!"
"You're welcome."
Gu Jinshui bowed to him, smiling with a bit of rogue, "I will definitely wait for you."
"Humph!" Tom was furious. Thinking of those boxes of jewelry and those newly unearthed antiques, he really wanted to kill someone.
Gu Jinshui and his friends had a bowl of trousers-strap noodles at Lin Wenxiang's house. After filling their stomachs, they talked about what happened last night.
Lin Wenxiang and his son were amazed when they heard it.
Lin Wenxiang Geng stroked his beard and said, "That family had dealings with our elders in the early years. They were so rich that they could rival a country. When they ran away, everyone was surprised. We didn't expect that they still had something in the old house."
"Yes, it's strange. How did Tom know about this? Is he really a descendant of that family?" He Fei said puzzledly while chewing green garlic.
Lin Bohu said, "Maybe it's true. Otherwise, how would he know where the things were buried? It's really strange that Song Jianshe and his men are not locals, and they have no relatives or friends with the capitalists who lived in the house before. How did they know?" This
is one of the doubts in everyone's mind.
Gu Jinshui had already guessed it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He just said, "Let's not talk about them. Anyway, it
's okay as long as they didn't take anything." Lin Jiyuan couldn't help his curiosity and leaned forward, "Jinshui, I heard that a lot of boxes were carried out of the police station, and they were all filled with treasures. Is this true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Before Gu Jinshui could speak, He Fei said first, "Have you seen pearls this big? Like quail eggs, a whole string. Damn, I was scared when I saw it."
"There's another box filled with gold. It took four people to lift it. I don't know how heavy this box is."
Lin Jiyuan and others took a breath of cold air, with a look of longing in their eyes.
Lin Wenxiang was so absorbed in listening that he said, "Damn it, you guys just handed over all these things?!"
"You have to hand them over, the police are here." He Fei looked at Gu Jinshui.
Gu Jinshui said, "If we don't call the police, we won't get the things. Song Jianshe and Tom are watching us, and they have their guys with them. No matter how you want to take them, the things are not ours. If they're gone, they're gone."
After listening to these words, Lin Wenxiang was somewhat impressed by Gu Jinshui.
This young man is young, but he has a big heart. He said without exaggeration that just a few boxes of things are enough to feed his family for generations. Even people of his age were tempted by hearing this. But
he was able to see things clearly.
This man is really amazing.
The matter was done, and Gu Jinshui and He Fei were about to leave.
They asked Director Zhou to get a few sleeper tickets, and the people there agreed very readily. The things that were dug out, antiques, could not be sold, but the jewelry could be sold to raise funds. Their police station was also considered to have made a contribution this time, and they would definitely receive some rewards from the higher-ups.
Director Zhou remembered the source of the water, and naturally would not refuse this small request.
It was noon.
Gu Jinshui and his party arrived at the train station. The train station was crowded with people and announcements were heard from time to time: "Attention to passengers going to Shanghai..."
"Attention to passengers going to Beijing..."
"Brother Jinshui, who do you see over there?" He Fei, carrying a bag of steamed meat, saw a few empty seats and rushed forward to sit down. Just as he took a breath, he saw a few familiar figures entering the station not far away.
Gu Jinshui sat down next to him and counted the things. He bought a lot of things for his family last night. There is a department store near the guesthouse that has everything. He bought a pair of gold earrings for Yinxing and her mother, a necklace for his wife, and a doll for his daughter.
"Who?" Gu Jinshui answered without even looking up, then turned to Shanhu and said, "Shanhu, did you bring everything? Did you forget the things you bought for your mother-in-law and sister-in-law?"
"No, they are all here."
Shanhu said.
"Hey, why don't you look up." He Fei was helpless.
Gu Jinshui had to look up, and when he looked up, he saw Tom and the other man dragging suitcases. He was stunned for a moment and smiled, "What a coincidence, I can run into them here?"
"Yes, these two grandsons are really fast. I guess we will find out what he did by then." He Fei gritted his teeth when he recalled being cheated.
Although he didn't suffer any loss in the end and even received a thank-you gift from the Lin family, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Do you want to take revenge on them?"
Gu Jinshui looked at their figures, raised the corners of his lips, turned around and asked He Fei.
He Fei immediately said, "Of course, you decide what to do."
The train had already stopped at the platform. Some of the travelers who were going on a long journey had already boarded the train, while others were still reluctantly saying goodbye to their families.
Tom and George had booked hard seats. They squeezed into the train early. The carriage was in chaos, with the smell of eggs, rotten mud, and smelly feet. Tom was almost suffocated. He said to George, "If you don't believe me, I'll change seats with you. I want to sit by the window."
Although George was reluctant, he had to change seats with Tom since he was the one who paid for it.
Sitting at the window seat and opening the window, Tom's face looked better. He cursed and said, "This is why we left this country. Look at this shabby train station. It's nothing compared to foreign countries. Foreign countries are so developed. Look at what these people are wearing. They are really refugees..."
Tom was cursing when a little boy on the platform ran towards him.
The boy ran closer, looked at Tom carefully, and asked, "Are you Tom?"
Tom frowned, "Who are you? How do you know me..."
"Hey, Gu Jinshui asked me to bring you a message. He said that the necklace is fake. I wish you a pleasant journey."
The little boy shouted near the window.
Tom was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed immediately after he reacted. He stood up and was about to chase after him, but the conductor who passed by stopped him, "Sir, the train is about to start. You have to stay in your seats and don't move around."
"No, I'm in a hurry..."
Tom's face was full of anxiety.
The conductor patiently said, "You can't be in a hurry. Look at your age. This train is not stable. If you fall, who will be responsible?"
Wuwuwuwu...
The train slowly began to move forward, and the people on the platform retreated like a stream.
Tom looked at the scenery outside the window, his face pale.
"Hahaha, you deserve it, you really deserve it!"
He Feile slapped his thigh.
Gu Jinshui took a dollar and gave it to the child, "Okay, use it to buy candy."
The child happily took the candy and left.
"Okay, this one passed!"
At the movie studio, Zhang Mouyuan looked at the image in the camera and made an OK gesture with satisfaction.
He Chunlian immediately put down her hand and said to Huang Xirong, "Sister, are you okay? I didn't use much force when I slapped you just now."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Huang Xirong suppressed her anger, but had to pretend that everything was fine.
The filming of the movie has been going on for nearly a month, and it went smoothly. The only thing that made Huang Xirong unhappy was that He Chunlian always put pressure on her during the filming.
"Auntie Huang, listen to Auntie He more next time. Her advice is very good. We can't afford to spend money on film if we shoot this shot more than ten times."
Chen Liang stood up from Zhang Mouyuan and said to Huang Xirong with dissatisfaction on his face.
The biggest expense of filming is actually film. Film is too expensive, and it is unknown how much film is used to shoot a movie. The crew has always strictly controlled the expenses in this regard.
Experienced actors like Zhang Lili will rehearse several times in advance to ensure that they can shoot in one take.
But every time they meet Huang Xirong, Huang Xirong's role always takes more time than others.
Huang Xirong looked a little embarrassed, "Director Chen, I understand. I will pay attention next time."
"Okay, you guys take a break first. Next is Mai He and Zhao Lanlan's scene. You guys get ready."
Although Zhang Mouyuan had some opinions, he respected his elders after all, so he quickly changed the subject.
Huang Xirong and He Chunlian came down.
They were shooting in a shed built in the film studio. They had finished shooting the outdoor scenes a few days ago. What they lacked now were a few indoor scenes.
"Auntie He, have some water."
Zhang Lili smiled and handed the cup to He Chunlian.
He Chunlian took it and thanked her, "Lili, you don't have a role today? Why are you here?"
Zhang Lili sat on the stool next to her, looked up and smiled, "Isn't it because of your words? You said before that we newcomers should come to the set to learn from our predecessors and learn how to act. I just came here today because I was free."
"Oh, you are so tired. Have you finished the work over there?"
He Chunlian asked with concern.
After shooting for less than a month, she has a better relationship with no one than with Zhang Lili. This little girl has a round face and thick eyebrows. She looks particularly happy and likable. It's just that her family conditions are a bit difficult. She is the oldest of three sisters in the family. Now she has to support the whole family with one person. Her parents passed away two years ago.
Zhang Lili said, "It's done. They just needed people when they opened a while ago. Now that business is stable, they don't need us anymore."
She worked as a waitress. Although she was a waitress, she worked in a newly opened teahouse and earned 30 yuan a day, which was more than what Zhang Lili earned in a month as an actress.
Zhang Lili now works in a movie studio, and her monthly salary is only 29 yuan. This is the increase she made after working for two years. According to her, the rule of the movie studio is to increase the salary by 6 yuan a year, and the salary will remain the same no matter how many movies you shoot.
If this salary is just to support her, it is more than enough, after all, the movie studio provides food and accommodation.
But she had to support her two younger sisters and keep them in school, so this little money was not enough. Therefore, when there was no film, she would go out to do odd jobs.
"Have you found any other work?"
He Chunlian asked with concern.
Zhang Lili was about to shake her head when Huang Xirong deliberately called out loudly, "Donglai, how can you be so thoughtful to come and give us popsicles and fruits?"
The staff around looked over.
Huang Xirong took Zhao Donglai to greet everyone, "This is my future son-in-law, who works in a department store. This kid is really thoughtful. He knew I was filming a movie, so he specially sent me so many things. Look at all these. Who can finish them? Let's share them."
She enthusiastically distributed popsicles to everyone one by one.
It was such a hot day, and the food was free, so everyone had to say a few good words. Even Chen Liang praised him, "Auntie Huang, you have a good son-in-law, very thoughtful."
"That's right. Our wedding date is almost set."
Huang Xirong heard everyone's compliments, her face full of smiles. She even took out a cream ice cream and gave it to He Chunlian, "Sister, I'll give you an ice cream. You have to help me more when I'm filming in the future."
"No, I have water."
He Chunlian declined, picking up the cup in her hand and gestured.
Huang Xirong said, "Sister, why are you so reserved? Our two families are neighbors. You are not upset because Xiao Zhao didn't get together with your daughter before, right?"
Zhao Donglai also looked at He Chunlian, "Auntie He, your Yinxing and I are really not suitable. This matter cannot be forced."
People around quietly pricked up their ears.
Who wouldn't want to listen to such gossip?
But He Chunlian was popular, so it was difficult for everyone to ask what was going on.
"Oh, then you misunderstood. I almost forgot that Xiao Zhao was talking to my daughter at the beginning." He Chunlian was not the kind of person who would take a loss. She smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, you are absolutely right. You and my daughter are really not suitable. Ever since I broke up with you and got together with Xiao Yan, my daughter is much happier, and I, as her mother, am also happy to see it."
The smile on Zhao Donglai's face stiffened.
He Chunlian looked at Huang Xirong again, glanced at the things in her hand, and said meaningfully: "Big sister, since our two families are neighbors, I have to remind you that pie in the sky may not be a good thing. Your daughter is not very old, why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
If it weren't for the fact that they are all women, He Chunlian didn't want to pay attention to Huang Xirong.
Huang Xirong sneered, "You don't have to worry about this. My daughter and Xiao Zhao have a good relationship. We two families make our own decisions. There is no need for others to interfere. If she is willing, you can give a red envelope to my daughter when she gets married."
After saying this, she turned around and left.
Zhao Donglai looked at He Chunlian with some suspicion.
He Chunlian shook her head secretly. Zhang Lili said, "Auntie He, why do you have to tell them so much? You mean well, but she doesn't appreciate it."
He Chunlian said, "You don't know. Forget it. Let's not talk about her. Speaking of this, Lili, can you sing?"
"Singing, of course I can. I used to major in folk music in school, but I can also sing pop songs, like "The Wind Continues to Blow" from Hong Kong..."
Zhang Lili knew all these songs by heart.
The only big thing she bought for herself was a radio, and she played tapes from Hong Kong every day.
Actors like them are more in pursuit of fashion, and are willing to try out any popular songs.
He Chunlian said, "That's great. It's like this. My former colleagues went to the countryside to perform. Recently, the competition has become fierce. They want to find some young people to sing. Don't think it's not decent. It's profitable. My colleagues alone can earn at least two or three hundred yuan a month."
Zhang Lili immediately showed an expectant look when she heard that she could earn so much money.
"Auntie He, I'm willing. Let me try. What's not decent about it? Singing for ordinary people is also serving the people, isn't it?"
He Chunlian smiled immediately. "Okay, come to my house tomorrow and I'll introduce you to them. If you're willing, you can bring one or two more people with you. Anyway, the business is booming now and we're short of people." Zhang
Lili agreed.
Others think that these actresses have a glamorous life, but in reality, everyone has a limited income. Thirty yuan a month is not enough to buy clothes and skin care products, so everyone secretly looks for jobs.
He Chunlian finished filming the last scene and returned home. Gu Yinxing poked his head out of the house and waved at her.
"What's going on? If you have something to say, just say it." He Chunlian put down her bag and net bag and said.
Gu Yinxing lifted the curtain and came out, pursing her lips at that side, "She just came back and said in the courtyard that we are jealous of her, and that they have set the wedding date with the Zhao family, the eighth of next month."
He Chunlian picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water, "The eighth of next month, that's really anxious, it's already the end of the month. Let's not care about this matter, she just scolded me today when I just finished talking about it, if we talk about it again, she might think we regret it and want to snatch Zhao Donglai."
The situation between the two families is complicated, and that family is not the kind of person who knows what's good for them. If we continue to care about it, who knows what bad words they will say.
"No way, how can you be so confident?"
Gu Yinxing stroked his arm and shuddered.
He Chunlian looked at her and said, "Anyway, forget about it. How are you doing with your studies recently?"
"I've read those books twice. I think I have a 30% chance of understanding them."
Gu Yinxing said confidently.
He Chunlian smiled and said, "Okay, if you pass the assistant physician qualification exam, Mom will treat you to a big meal at a western restaurant."
"I'll remember that!"
Gu Yinxing said happily, and went back to study. He
Chunlian shook her head behind her. This lady had never worked hard in her life. When she was studying, she fished for three days and dried nets for two days. Unexpectedly, she was willing to make progress after falling in love with Xiao Yan.
You know, when the college entrance examination was relaxed a few years ago, Gu Jinshui asked her to take the college entrance examination. If she could get into college, he would give her a reward. However, Gu Yinxing was unmoved and insisted that she was doing well as a nurse. Now she knows that she has changed her career by taking the medical qualification examination.
Thinking of her son, He Chunlian hurriedly asked, "Did your brother say he would be back tomorrow?"
"Yes, he also said that they would come back by themselves and we don't need to pick them up." Gu Yinxing replied from the house, "Sister-in-law just went out and said she was going to buy bath tickets for them."
"You have to buy bath tickets. These two grown men have been out for so many days. I guess they don't know how to take care of themselves. They have to go to the bathhouse to take a bath."
He Chunlian said, "Your sister-in-law is really thoughtful. I almost forgot this." Although
the Gu family's house is spacious, it is only enough for washing the body. If you want to take a bath, you still have to go to the bathhouse.
"Did you hear what they said in the room?"
Huang Xirong patted Song Chaohua's head and said.
Song Chaohua's ears were pressed against the wall. She covered her head, "They are talking about bath tickets."
"Bath tickets?"
Huang Xirong sat down on the kang, crossed his legs, picked up the peanuts on the table and peeled them to eat, "Didn't they talk about your aunt's marriage?"
"No." Song Chaohua also sat down.
Huang Xirong smacked his peanuts and frowned, "That's strange. They must know that your aunt is getting married. I think they must be plotting something bad in secret, trying to snatch your uncle away. Hehe, wishful thinking. I can see through their plan at a glance. Next month, your aunt will get married to your uncle. How can they snatch her away then!"
If He Chunlian and her daughter knew what Huang Xirong was thinking, they would be absolutely disgusted.
Who cares about Zhao Donglai? It was Gu Yinxing who dumped him in the first place.
"Mom, you are still smart."
Song Mei came in with a cup of tea and patted Huang Xirong's shoulders. "My brother will be back tomorrow. Can you ask him to give me more dowry? The Zhao family is rich, and we can't be too shabby. Otherwise, how can I stand firm after marrying into the Zhao family?"
Although Huang Xirong said that he favored boys over girls, he was not bad to Song Mei. Moreover, Song Mei married a promising man, so she said, "Okay, I will ask your brother to give you a decent dowry!" Anyway,
her son made a fortune this time, so it was reasonable for him to give some to his sister.
