The 18th day of being eavesdropped on
Gu Jinshui didn't buy anything the whole day. He looked around at Panjiayuan but didn't buy anything. When it got dark, he went to the state-owned hotel and bought a box of dumplings and went home.
"Why are you buying dumplings?"
He Chunlian opened the aluminum lunch box and saw dumplings inside. Her brows furrowed.
Gu Jinshui chuckled and said, "Mom, didn't I think you like dumplings stuffed with cabbage? I bought them especially for you."
He Chunlian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who doesn't like good things? How are you today?"
Liang Ying was feeding her child rice porridge and looked at Gu Jinshui when she heard this.
Gu Jinshui touched his nose and nodded his chin towards the east wing. "That Song Jianshe really followed me. I avoided him for a whole day and didn't buy anything."
Liang Ying frowned and said, "So, he was the one who bought the things you liked before."
"That's almost right." Gu Jinshui picked up a dumpling with chopsticks and fed it to his wife. "I asked Douzi to ask those who were selling things later if it was him. They all said he looked familiar."
"This is strange."
He Chunlian set up the dishes and chopsticks, with a puzzled look on her face. "You learned to identify antiques from your master, and no one else knew about it except our family. How did he know that you could pick antiques and buy everything you liked?"
Gu Jinshui was also wondering about this.
Although it was a good thing to find the person who had taken advantage of him, Gu Jinshui still hadn't figured out how Song Jianshe knew that he could pick antiques, and how he happened to snatch the good things he liked.
"Never mind these things, it's not illegal to buy and sell antiques now," Gu Jinshui pulled the corners of his lips and pinched his face. Gu Yousi raised his hand and hit him, but Gu Jinshui didn't mind and smiled and said, "I have to teach him a lesson first, let him know that it's not so easy to take advantage of me!"
He had never suffered such a big loss since he got into society!
He had always been the one who snatched other people's things, and no one else snatched his.
Song Jianshe's secret calculations made Gu Jinshui very disgusted.
Gu Yousi listened to his father's domineering speech, feeling relieved but also worried.
Song Jianshe has always been lucky, and he will save the grandson of a Chinese and get a powerful backer soon.
Is it really okay for his own father to go against him?
Chinese? Backer?
Gu Jinshui raised his eyebrows and pinched the little face of the lady, "You are so young, but you are still frowning. Why are you worried? Your father is not afraid of anything!"
That's what he said.
But Liang Ying still had some concerns. At night, she was using a sewing machine to make children's clothes. While doing it, she said to Gu Jinshui, "I think Song Jianshe's family is a little weird. If it really doesn't work out, let's stop doing this business for now. We have enough money at home."
Gu Jinshui put down the book in his hand and kissed his wife on the face, "Oh, my wife is worried about me."
Liang Ying blushed at his embarrassment and rolled her eyes at him, "I'm talking to you about serious things. I make a lot in the factory in a month, and you made a lot from your previous business. Why should our family be so anxious to make money?"
Liang Ying was afraid that something would happen if Gu Jinshui and Song Jianshe got into a fight.
The Song family is a little weird, and they are not good people. Liang Ying is afraid that they will do something desperate.
"Don't worry, my wife."
Gu Jinshui hugged Liang Ying's shoulders, "I promised your father that I would let you live a good life. I have never forgotten this for so many years."
Liang Ying heard this, and her heart was heavy and warm.
Gu Jinshui didn't go to Panjiayuan for several days. He didn't lack money, and on the other hand, he wanted to whet Song Jianshe's appetite.
Gu Jinshui knew very well that people like Song Jianshe would easily become addicted once they made quick money, and they looked down on the little money they earned from working normally.
That's right, you work hard from morning till night for 30 days a month, and only earn 30 or 40 yuan in salary, but you can earn tens or hundreds by buying and selling antiques.
In contrast, who can sit still?
People like Gu Jinshui who make a lot of money are itching, let alone Song Jianshe.
As expected.
Song Jianshe has been very anxious these days.
On one hand, it was to make money, and on the other hand, it was because their director wanted to collect a snuff bottle. Their director said he wanted to collect a good snuff bottle and asked him to help search for it. Song Jianshe agreed in person, but he was very anxious behind the scenes
. If he knew how to identify antiques, this matter would not be a problem. But he didn't know anything about antiques. It would be difficult to find a good item among the seventy or eighty stalls in Panjiayuan.
The only plan now was to try his luck and see if he could intercept what Gu Jinshui picked.
If there was no snuff bottle, other antiques would be fine.
The weather cleared up that day.
Gu Jinshui said to his family early in the morning, "I'm going to the East District today and will be back later in the evening."
Song Jianshe heard this in the house and was delighted. He quickly asked his mother to go back to the bureau to ask for leave, and then he followed Gu Jinshui out wearing a dog-head hat.
Gu Jinshui seemed to be unaware of it. With his hands in his pockets and a nonchalant look, he got off the bus and headed straight for Panjiayuan.
Song Jianshe followed him all the way, and when he saw him heading towards a stall with snuff bottles, he was so happy that he almost burst into tears.
This was simply God helping him, and he got what he wanted.
"Hey, brother, just take a look. What do you want?"
The stall owner was a big, strong man. It was the first month of the lunar year and the weather was still cold. He was wearing a thin jacket and his ears were red from the cold. There were seven or eight snuff bottles in front of him. In addition to the snuff bottles, there were also many small ornaments, such as the porcelain Taiping Youxiang.
Gu Jinshui squatted and looked around. His eyes fell on a golden and slightly translucent snuff bottle. He picked it up and looked at it, then weighed it quietly.
"What do you think, brother? This is a good thing, passed down from my ancestors." The big man squeezed his nose and said, "If you really want it, the price is negotiable."
"Let's talk about it later."
Gu Jinshui waved his hand, put the things down, and got up to leave.
After he left, Song Jianshe came over quickly, picked up the snuff bottle that Gu Jinshui had just taken, looked at it carefully, and suddenly felt that it looked familiar.
Isn't this similar to a snuff bottle that the director collected before?
The director said that his was an amber snuff bottle, could this be one too?!
Song Jianshe suddenly felt dry-mouthed.
God really helped him everywhere today.
He got such a big chance, and he wondered how happy the director would be when he found out. Maybe his family would get a spot in the housing allocation next year!
Thinking of this, Song Jianshe couldn't wait to speak: "This thing..."
"Hey, Song Jianshe, why are you putting it here?" A teasing voice sounded behind him. Song Jianshe's expression was stiff. He cursed in his heart, but turned around and pretended to be ignorant, "Jinshui, you are here too?"
"Yes, it's a coincidence that we meet here."
Gu Jinshui walked over with a smile, put his hand on Song Jianshe's shoulder and pressed hard. Song Jianshe grimaced in pain, sweat on his forehead, and forced a smile: "Yes, what a coincidence."
"Are you trying to buy this snuff bottle?"
Gu Jinshui raised his chin towards the snuff bottle.
Song Jianshe's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling. Could it be that Gu Jinshui was here to steal something from him? !
