Age: My Small World

Chapter 253 Story
Actually it's very simple.

The old lady left all her money to another person.

And that person was the mother of Hu Sheng’s wife and the mother-in-law of the Hu family.

His wife has a genetic disease, which she inherited from her mother.

Unexpectedly, the disease did not take her mother's life, but took away her at a younger age.

Over the years, this mother-in-law has spent too much of Hu Sheng's salary on buying medicine for his illness, but unfortunately it only treats the illness and not the root cause.

It would be strange if the Hu family could get well with such a burden of medicine.

Because of this, although the mother and son had a good income, they still needed help from Mr. Hu from time to time.

After listening to it, Yang Jun could only say that his master's aunt and Hu Sheng were really kind people.

If it were him, he wouldn't be sure if he could take care of such a person for free for more than ten years. After all, the investment is cost-free and there will be no gain.

Not long after, he stood up and said goodbye.

The old lady wanted to keep him overnight and leave the next day, but Yang Jun declined.

His time is still quite tight, so he has to hurry and get the jade done first.

Before leaving, he specially left a box of medicine for the old lady, saying that it was a refill of the medicine she needed last time. In fact, it was the spiritual water.

……

God of Wealth Lane.

This place is famous for having a temple dedicated to the God of Wealth. It is said that many people from the entire provincial capital and even the Shandong Province came here to burn incense and worship, making it well-known.

Of course, it can only be turned into an ornamental building now, and no one knows when it will be demolished.

Perhaps many people still want the God of Wealth to protect their safety, so some people come to burn incense secretly on weekdays.

When Yang Jun passed by this temple, he could see several incense sticks of different lengths inserted in front of the statue of the God of Wealth.

The Mi brothers live in this alley.

It is called an alley, but it is planned as one of the alleys. In fact, this place used to be the God of Wealth Street, and the shops on both sides have been converted into houses.

The Mi brothers live in a commercial property that has been converted into residential space. They each rent a room, which has four rooms in total.

If Yang Jun hadn't insisted, they would have thought that renting one room would be enough, and squeezing in wouldn't be a big deal.

"Dong dong dong."

Knocking on the door was also a secret code, which allowed the two brothers to quickly know that he was coming.

Inside the house, two people who were making dinner were startled when they heard a knock on the door.

"Brother, run!" Mi Liang instantly picked up a knife and rushed to the door, but told Mi Shan to run quickly.

"Wait, it's not that group of people, it's Brother Xiaoshan who is here." Mi Shan was quite steady. After listening carefully, he confirmed that it was a secret code.

The two of them immediately headed towards the door.

After opening the door, it was Yang Jun outside.

"Brother Xiaoshan, you're here." The two said in unison.

"What's going on with you two?"

Mi Liang hadn't put down his knife yet, so Yang Jun couldn't help but look at the two of them in surprise, wondering if they were injured.

Only then did Mi Shan notice his brother's actions and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Xiaoshan, come in first, I'll explain it to you later."

"Okay." Yang Jun nodded and stepped into the house.

The layout of the four rooms is quite compact, and basically the room you enter can only be used as a living room.

Apart from the room where the two of them sleep, the rest is naturally a warehouse.

"We've put all the stuff in the warehouse. Brother Xiaoshan, I'll show you around right away."

"No hurry, tell me what's going on with you first."

Yang Jun naturally wanted the jade very badly, but he also had time to listen to the whole story first.

Relatively speaking, the safety of both of them is also of paramount importance.

The three of them sat down, and after Mi Shan poured them a glass of water, he started talking about the matter.

It turned out that after the two of them settled in the provincial capital, they relied on Zhang Hu's help to gradually get their jade collection business on track. But who would have thought that just a few days ago, when they were returning from collecting a batch of jade antiques, they were intercepted.

There were three people in total, with a clear goal, heading straight for the two brothers.

Mi Liang was about to fight to the death, but was stopped by Mi Shan. He immediately dropped all the jades and ran away.

Even so, they were chased for half a street.

It seemed that the three of them came not just to steal things, but had their own goals and purposes.

"Could it be Du Quan's people? That shouldn't be the case."

Yang Jun guessed.

Du Quanke didn't know his identity, let alone his subordinates like Mi Shan and Mi Liang.

"Did you offend the local gang?"

This is the only guess. After all, the only one who knows the identities of the two is Zhang Hu. He has no need to kill them. Even if he wants to take action, he should ambush Yang Jun.

Mi Shan and Mi Liang looked at each other.

"I don't know." Mi Liang scratched his head.

Mi Shan, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother Xiaoshan, if you put it that way, then I do have some impression of it."

"Last time when we went to buy jade, we happened to meet someone who also wanted to buy. After hearing that we bought it, he looked at us for a long time. I don't know if it was because of this."

"Do you remember what that person looks like?"

Mi Shan shook his head: "I didn't pay much attention to it at the time."

Yang Jun secretly thought it was a pity.

"I think your ambush might be related to this person."

Yang Jun thought for a moment and said, "You've been collecting jade for so long, there's no need to rush out. Go back to Zhang Hu and ask him for help. Find out more about his background and then leave."

"Yes, Brother Xiaoshan."

The two nodded in agreement.

He can't help for the time being, so this time he has to rely on Zhang Hu's strength. He hopes he doesn't mind too much.

"Then let's take a look at your achievements over the past few months."

"Okay, Brother Xiaoshan." Speaking of this, Mi Shan immediately became excited.

He quickly got up and searched for a while before coming out with two keys.

The door used as a warehouse was locked with two locks, which had to be opened simultaneously to enter.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Jun realized that he had thought things were simple.

Such a big provincial capital actually has a lot of good things stored in it.

In just a few months, the jade collected by the Mi brothers covered half of the floor.

This is despite their budget constraints.

Yang Jun couldn't help but squat down and admire it carefully.

Most of them are ordinary jades, and the storage space can only produce ten or eight drops of spiritual water from one piece. But it does not matter that there are many things, and when they are gathered together, there is enough spiritual water to use.

There are also some with better quality, which can probably be considered as medium-quality jade.

According to Mi Shan, these were bought by Zhang Hu, so there were no inferior products.

"Zhang Hu isn't playing tricks, is he? Did he send anyone to follow you?"

Yang Jun asked in detail.

"Brother Xiaoshan, Brother Hu probably didn't send anyone to follow him. He always takes us with him when he does things."

"Anyway, it's important to be careful and never expose yourself."

In fact, what the two of them have done is quite good, and there haven't been any major problems during this period of time.

In other words, they just encountered someone who wanted to kill them for no apparent reason.
