"Who are you looking for?"
According to the name of Chu Jiaao, the surname of Chu is the big surname here. Only a few people with other surnames live here. In order to gain a foothold in the local area, most of those people with other surnames also marry people with the surname of Chu in the village. Therefore, this area is all related to relatives. If there is a stranger in the village, it is easy to attract vigilant attention.
No, before the two donkey friends dressed up entered the village, they were stopped by the people of Chu village working in the fields.
"Uncle, we are here to travel. I think the environment in your village is really good. I don't know if there are people for accommodation and dinner. We want to stay here for a few days."
Chujiaao has a bad location. It's two or three hours' drive from the nearest county. There are not many shifts here. There are only five shifts a day. It's really not easy to go to the county.
However, such a remote mountain village also has its own advantages, that is, there are no factories, the environment is good and the sky is blue and the water is clear. Now people in the city like to return to nature. During the peak tourism season, the farmhouse business in the village is still very good. What they don't come to play is the surrounding cities. After all, it is not a place of interest. There is nothing interesting except scenery.
Therefore, when the two donkey friends said that, the vigilant eyes of the villagers eased down, and a smile hung on the corners of their mouths.
"You're here to play, aren't you? That's really right. We're good people here."
The middle-aged man smiled. His son was smart and was the first person in the village to start a B & B. business was good in the peak season, but he couldn't meet him in the off-season. Today, there were two guests. One day's accommodation and one hundred and two meals were two hundred and four. This was a big business for the income of the villagers.
He shouted to the woman working in another field and asked her to quickly take the two guests home to see if the guests didn't like their house.
"Aunt, which house is that? It's really angry."
Chujiaao is not rich. Many families still live in flat houses. Occasionally, they see several small second floor buildings. Most of them are donkey dung balls. They look exquisite and elegant outside. There are cement blanks inside, not even decent furniture.
Of course, it's not that there are no rich people. For example, a small foreign building, three floors, covering an area of three or four hundred square meters, with a small garden, looks like a small Imperial Palace, standing out among the houses in the village.
"You say that one. It's amazing."
The woman looked at the two guests and pointed to the house built by Chu Xianzong, the most promising man in their village, for his parents. She immediately took color on her face and was a little jealous.
"The son of that family is promising. At the beginning, he was the only few college students in our village. After graduation, he married his parents a daughter-in-law in the city. Later, he opened his own factory. His business is getting bigger and bigger. They all say that their family is rich now."
It's no secret that the Chu family has money in ten miles and eight townships. Moreover, Chu Xianzong built roads for the village and ran a primary school. He still has a good reputation in the village. He always feels that such a promising person is the pride of the whole village and is happy to mention it to those who come to the village.
"It's not a coincidence that you came. The old couple of the Chu family were taken to the city by their filial son. Otherwise, if they were at home, I could show you around the Chu family's house. Tut Tut, even in the city, I couldn't find a second house as beautiful as that."
In the eyes of the villagers, this house is very good, not to mention the nearby villages and towns. Even in the city, we can't see such a beautiful small foreign-style building.
"Don't tell me, aunt. I'm from Haishi. Such a small foreign house is rare even in Haishi." The younger of the two tourists flattered.
"Are you from Haishi? It's really a coincidence that the owner of that foreign house opened a factory in Haishi. His parents often say that most of his son's factories are open and there are thousands of workers. They say that state cadres are respectful when they see their son."
Hearing that these two people were from Haishi, the middle-aged woman immediately came to her senses.
Everyone in the village knows that the Chu family has money, but it is not clear how to make money. After all, they have never been to Haishi. In particular, although they have the same surname Chu, they are far away from the relatives of the Chu Xianzong family and are not close on weekdays.
The woman's son opened the first farmhouse in the village. The conditions at home are among the best in chujiaao, but it's definitely far from that of Chu Xianzong. Listening to the people in the village's pursuit of Chu Xianzong, although the woman also thinks that others are powerful, she still can't raise her spirits. She always thinks that Chu Xianzong may be powerful, but it's not as good as his parents boast.
"Aunt, tell me the name of the company. The scale of thousands of employees is not small. If it's really in the sea market, maybe I've heard of it."
As usual, the two tourists said with a smile.
"I really can't remember the name of the company. Anyway, I bring a Chu character. The boss's name is Chu Xianzong. He is a capable person who goes out of our village. It's really the same as his name. It gives their ancestors a face."
The woman looked at the two people and didn't have much hope in her heart. How big the sea market is. If everyone knows Chu Xianzong, how powerful he is.
"Chu Xianzong, are you sure it's the right name?"
They were stunned, looked at each other and asked in surprise.
"What's the matter, young man? Do you really know each other?" The woman was surprised. She didn't brag with the Chu family. Is her son really so powerful?
"Yes, boss of our company. Do you know the market value of our company? It's tens of billions. So much money can't be spent for several generations. Don't mention such a small foreign building. It's easy to build more than a dozen more."
The man swallowed his saliva and seemed to doubt that he swam to the boss's house just for a simple trip.
Similarly, the middle-aged woman also thought it was too clever. After the surprise, she took doubt in her eyes, looked up and down at the two young people, and thought it wasn't a liar.
"Don't believe me, aunt. I'll show you the photos I took at the annual meeting of our company, which are still in my mobile phone." One of them saw the doubt on the woman's face. He remembered to take out his mobile phone directly, look for the photos in the album, and soon found one of the albums named the annual meeting, which was opened and handed to the woman.
"This is what you said about Chu Xianzong. He is really my boss, and this, Gu Anna, our boss's daughter-in-law. At the edge is our boss's daughter. Standing between our boss and his wife is a pair of children born by the boss's wife and her ex husband."
He enlarged the photo and clearly displayed the looks of the five people in the picture on the mobile phone screen.
This photo was taken at the annual meeting last year. At that time, Chu Tianyin had not moved out of his home. Although there were frequent contradictions with Chu Zhixin, he still maintained peace with the outside world.
"It's really the son of the Chu family."
Seeing the photo, the woman's doubts disappeared. Chu Xianzong hasn't come back since he went to college in the city. He usually takes the old couple to Haishi for the Spring Festival every year. In recent years, he has come back when he cuts the roads and schools built in the village and renovates Chu's ancestral temple, but the woman clearly remembers this face.
"Wait."
The woman looked at the picture and frowned, "you said this is your boss's wife. What's her name?" The more women look, the more wrong they are. Isn't this Gu Meifang, the daughter of Gu family, the girl who was admitted to the university with Chu Xianzong.
Gu's family is a foreign name in the village. Gu Meifang's father married a girl from the Chu family before he set foot in the village.
There are many children in their family. In addition to Gu Meifang, they also have two daughters and three sons. They live a hard life. At the beginning, because Gu Meifang can read, the whole family tightened their belts for her to go to school alone. Other brothers and sisters don't go to primary school. They all come back to farm, or go out to work for the little sister.
But since she went out to college, Gu Meifang has evaporated like the world. If she hadn't come back on time every year, the whole family would think she was missing.
Over the years, with the money from Gu Meifang, Gu's life has been fairly good. Several brothers have built a new house and married their daughter-in-law. The old couple of Gu's life is also moist. They have planted some vegetables to eat in the field. The husband and wife play mahjong and the host visits the door, which can envy a group of old people in the village.
But Gu Meifang and Chu Xianzong are married? I've never heard the old couple of Chu family talk about it with Gu family. Especially in the village, the two families don't communicate much. It doesn't look like being in laws.
"Aunt, you admit your mistake. Our boss's name is not Gu Meifang."
The two exchanged their eyes. No wonder they couldn't find Gu Anna. It turned out that the other party changed her name and listened to the aunt's tone. Fortunately, the other party hasn't contacted her family for many years. I'm afraid the ID card they found is false.
In the early decades, registered residence information is not rigorous. There is a little money. Finding a new relationship is not difficult.
"It's impossible. I won't mistake anyone."
The woman was not happy. The face in the photo was no different from that when she left the village, except that she was dressed more fashionable, more mature and graceful, and was completely a person.
At the beginning, Gu Meifang attracted the envy of the girls in the village. She looks good. Her parents and brothers also let her study alone. The most important thing is that the other party is close to Chu Xianzong, who is the favorite girl in their village. At the beginning, they were admitted to college together. Everyone can't say what an accident. The Chu family and Gu family are sure to be relatives. Later, Chu Xianzong married a girl in the city, Gu Meifang stopped contacting her family again. The villagers also said whether it was because of the former that she couldn't think of doing something stupid.
If Gu Meifang hadn't paid for her family in time to prove that she was living well, the Gu family would have called her when her daughter-in-law in the city of Chu came to the door.
Rao is like this. Now when people in the village mention Chu Xianzong, they will also mention Gu Meifang, which makes women forget each other's appearance.
"Unexpectedly, the two people went together again."
The woman looked at the photo and muttered, then looked at the young man with the mobile phone sheepishly: "can you send me one of this photo? My son has that wechat. You add one. I have to save this photo and show it to the old family."
"Aunt." The young man was a little embarrassed: "our boss's wife really doesn't call Gu Meifang, but you really want a photo. I'll send you one at that time, but you must not let others know that I gave it to you. At that time, our boss's wife will be unhappy and I'll lose my job."
Think about it, He added: "You don't know how much our boss cares about this new daughter-in-law. Even her two children born to her ex husband are more attractive to him than our boss's own daughter. Give her what she wants. Her eldest daughter has hundreds of thousands of pocket money every month. Last time she came to our company, she carried a famous brand bag. The female colleagues in our office checked it. Good guy, how many Millions of bags are enough to buy a suite. It can be imagined that our boss cares more about this new daughter-in-law. If she is determined to deal with me, I really don't have a good life. "
"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't say."
The woman looked at his sad face and promised again and again. At the same time, she took a few breaths in her heart.
All the people in their family are down-to-earth and willing to work. She works with her men. Her son runs a farmhouse. In the off-season, he goes to the town to find some odd jobs. Over the years, he has saved hundreds of thousands of money, but according to the man in front of him, Chu Xianzong gives hundreds of thousands of money to his stepdaughter and millions to buy a bag. What's the concept, A bag made of gold is not that expensive.
For Chu Xianzong's wealth, women have a clear concept. At the same time, she also has new ideas about Gu Anna.
The other party had been married once and had two children with the previous husband. These family members were still kept in the dark, especially about the other party's remarriage with Chu Xianzong.
No, it's fun. When these two guests are settled, she has to talk to the eldest daughter-in-law of the family.
Finally, the two young people looked around the farmhouse at the woman's house. Because they were not very satisfied with the accommodation conditions of the farmhouse, they left after only one lunch. However, before leaving, according to the agreement with the woman, they passed the picture in their mobile phone to the woman's son. After doing this, they left the village.
That night, the village became lively immediately. Everyone knew that the daughter of the Gu family who had not returned for more than 20 years had a pair of children and remarried Chu Xianzong, the dead daughter-in-law of the Chu family.
*****
At this time, the Chu family in Haishi did not know the news. They were busy buying goods for the supermarket and secretly asked about the channels that could get weapons.
Now the working capital in the hands of the two people is not much. It is not easy to get a batch of hot weapons in China. If you are not careful, the whole family has to be locked in. Therefore, Chu and Huo contact foreign forces, spend hundreds of millions and buy dozens of guns and dozens of boxes of ammunition / medicine.
It's not that they don't want to buy more, but that buying more is easy to attract the attention of foreign forces, and they don't have so much money on hand.
As for the guns / bullets / drugs, Huo Lin accompanied Chu Zhixin out of the country and took them back. They were packed in Chu Zhixin's carry on space, otherwise those things would not pass the Customs at all.
Because after the end of the world, the original social system will collapse, and banks and so on will no longer exist. Therefore, the two people also relied on Runtian to borrow a sum of money from the bank and urgently strengthened several warehouses of Runtian. As for the portable space of Chu Zhixin, it has long been filled with materials transferred from Runtian warehouse.
Now all the surplus money in their hands is used to purchase goods and transfer the goods from Runtian warehouse around Haishi to Haishi's large warehouse. Others only think they have any big moves and don't think about other places.
They have thought that before the end of the world, they must give up some goods reserves. After all, at the beginning of the end of the world, the military government can still operate normally. They can generously donate warehouses that they can't protect to the government in exchange for their political status at the beginning of the end of the world. As for those stored in Chu Zhixin space, The goods in several reinforced warehouses in Hehai city are the capital for them to settle down later.
In a few days, the two families spent money like water. Except for the house under their respective names, all that could be sold were sold.
"Do it tomorrow."
Chu Xianzong said to the phone. After talking, the door of the study was knocked.
"Come in." He hung up the conversation, put away his expression and said in a deep voice.
"Xianzong, I'm ready for the banquet tomorrow."
Gu Anna pretended to be puzzled and asked, "this is not a big day. It's quite sudden to have a party."
"It's not a big day. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary."
Chu Xianzong smiled. It was the alibi he prepared for himself. How could it not be important.
"Xianzong, I'm so happy."
Gu Anna smiles sweetly. A woman in her forties smiles as brightly and sweetly as a twenty-eight girl.
Where they can't see, their eyes are instantly obscure. I'm afraid they all know what will happen tomorrow.
