Zhu Fanfan felt that her older sister must have her own ideas. When she came last year, she didn't have much contact with her older sister because she was afraid that Xue Fu wanted to take advantage of her. They only communicated secretly and didn't say much. But she knew that her older sister had someone she liked, and that person had done a lot for her and kept it a secret from Xue Fu. She didn't know what her older sister would do.
Tan Fuya simply stopped talking about it: "Everyone has their own destiny, and we should learn to respect other people's choices. As long as your older sister wants to keep the savings herself, no one can force her to do so."
Old Fu said that Xue Fu was ruthless, but the Fu family was not to be trifled with either. They were not afraid of Xue Fu causing trouble, after all, Zhao Di and the others were the ones with Fu family blood flowing through their veins, and the Fu family's money was naturally used for the Fu family members.
Zhu Fanfan didn't mention it anymore; she'd find out tomorrow night anyway, and she would definitely help her older sister.
Zhu Fanfan suddenly asked, "Grandma, are you still in contact with Grandpa Xin?"
Tan Fuya was surprised: "Your grandma even told Grandpa Xin?"
Zhu Fanfan couldn't say that she was born with memories, so she said, "Our family's medicine cauldron was bought from Master Xin, and it has come in very handy. All the pills I've brought you over the years have been made from it. Grandma has always felt that buying the medicine cauldron was the best decision she ever made."
Tan Fuya also recalled shopping with Yumin and running into the police. They were supposed to be arresting a fugitive, but they thought they were arresting people at the antique market and were quite frightened. Luckily, it was a false alarm. Xinye was also quite frightened. Later, they moved to another location. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. Time really flies.
So he said, "Now Master Xin no longer deals in antiques, but has started dealing in grain, which is what we call the black market. Now that grain is scarce, he exchanges the grain he collects for antiques. This place is not close to the capital, so the regulations are not very strict, and many people are still doing it. I heard that he couldn't compete with others for territory and was ostracized to the outskirts. I like antiques and the like, and when he collects them, he will take the initiative to bring them over and ask if I want them. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Sister Xu said from the side, "I know Master Xin. He trained a group of people and taught them to recognize antiques. Who knew that some of them would betray him and set up their own black market. I heard that he found a powerful backer with a strong background. Master Xin was forced to operate in the suburbs and had to guard against traitors causing trouble. He was about to be unable to continue. I also heard that he wanted to develop overseas."
There are actually people who smuggle themselves abroad from here. It's not difficult to do so as long as you're willing to spend the money. It's just that people are reluctant to leave their homeland. Nobody wants to leave their familiar place for a foreign land. Although you can earn more money there, being bullied is also common. Who wants to live a miserable life?
Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "Which suburb is it? Isn't Master Xin supposed to be well-liked? How come someone betrayed him?"
Sister Xu pointed out the specific address: "I heard that he's hiding there now. What's the use of being a good person? I heard that the fool who betrayed him has connections overseas and has bribed a group of people to buy and sell antiques. It's so unethical. Shanghai is so big, there are countless cases every day, and the police simply can't spare any people to deal with them."
Tan Fuya also agreed: "The things passed down from our ancestors are so precious. Those people are simply heartless. Those are all good things. Naturally, they are sold cheaply overseas. They are simply traitors. They deserve to have children without an anus."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Grandma is always so elegant, when did she become so rude?
Sister Xu joined in the curse: "Exactly, may their heads ooze pus, their feet develop sores, and may they be bedridden for the rest of their lives."
Seeing that her grandmother and Sister Xu were swearing at each other, Zhu Fanfan couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, does Grandpa know you're swearing?"
Sister Xu said smugly, "I know! The factory manager still got scolded!"
Tan Fuya revealed her true nature in front of Fanfan and felt embarrassed: "I went out with Sister Xu a while ago and overheard other people chatting. They said it was quite interesting to curse. Sister Xu said it was a good way to vent emotions, so I learned a few phrases."
Just then, Lao Fu came back and asked her if something had happened. He seemed quite happy, so she recited the swear words. Lao Fu had this indescribable expression at the time, but she found swearing so satisfying. Sometimes she couldn't help but blurt out a few words. She should be more careful in the future and pay attention to her image in front of Fanfan.
Zhu Fanfan: ...No need to explain, explaining would just be a cover-up.
Tan Fuya said, "Weren't we talking about those traitors? If only a righteous person could rob them of the antiques they bought at such a low price. Weren't there chivalrous heroes in ancient times who robbed the rich to help the poor? Why are the heroes of our great nation so low-key?"
Zhu Fanfan, who originally wanted to be a great hero: ...Is Grandma trying to get her involved?
Tan Fuya felt that these things were too infuriating to think about, and the more she thought about them, the angrier she became. So she said to Zhu Fanfan, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to learn how to make crystal cakes? Come on, let's go to the kitchen. Desserts are a specialty of the Tan family."
So Zhu Fanfan was taken to the kitchen by Tan Fuya, and she was still busy when Fu Minghao returned.
Fu Minghao was very happy to see Zhu Fanfan arrive. Looking at his granddaughter who had grown taller, he said with emotion, "Our little Fanfan is being raised very well by Brother Zhu. She's almost as tall as your grandma now."
The people here aren't as tall as those in the north. Although Fanfan is a child of the Zhu family, he is from Jiangnan after all. I didn't expect him to be 1.4 meters tall at only twelve years old. He will be at least 1.65 meters tall by the time he is eighteen. Indeed, the environment shapes the people.
Zhu Fanfan was also very happy to see her maternal grandfather. Over the years, her grandfather has supported many of her hobbies. For example, he bought her the latest camera. Even her clothes were specially bought by her grandfather from the Friendship Store. Many of her simple Hanfu were handmade by her grandmother. When she wears them, people are always envious and think that she is a fairy who has come out of a painting.
The father and son began to talk about their recent events, and they were still talking even after dinner was ready. Tan Fuya smiled and said, "Only Fanfan can make you laugh. Fanfan will be staying here for quite a while, and there's still a long way to go. Let's eat first!"
The father and son quickly washed their hands and ate. After finishing their meal, fearing that Zhu Fanfan was tired from a day's train ride, they urged her to go and rest, saying they would talk about it tomorrow.
The next day, after eating, Zhu Fanfan said she wanted to go out to deliver something to an elder. Tan Fuya knew that Zhu Fanfan was capable of protecting herself, and besides, Shanghai had very good public security, so she agreed to let her go out alone. Zhu Fanfan went directly to the police station.
She was only familiar with Uncle Qi here, so she naturally had to pay him a visit. Uncle Qi had already packed his bags and taken them to the police station, so if she wanted to find him, she could just go to the police station and she would be able to find him easily.
She wanted to rob those traitorous black market gangs, and naturally Uncle Qi was the most well-informed.
