Jianbao life

Chapter 501 Accidental Encounter
Chu Chen chose something he liked, and Liu Sizhe on the other side also chose a relatively good bamboo carving pen holder, and planned to give it to Mr. Liu when he returned.

Wan Nianqing was very happy when she saw that both of them had already chosen something, and when Liu Sizhe finished paying the bill, she quickly invited the two of them upstairs, and then signed an agreement with Chu Chen, and everyone was happy when it arrived.

It’s just that Wan Nianqing was happy, but also a little depressed. After all, it was Yubi who bought it for 120 million. With the right realm and strength, besides, if it is replaced by other people, the performance may not be better than him.

However, he did not resent Chu Chen, on the contrary, he was very grateful to him in his heart.You know, although the imitation of the jade wall is real, but the fake is fake after all, and he can't guarantee that others will not be able to see it.If at that time, he sells Yubi and is recognized as a fake by others, then his current reputation will be ruined.

And the loss of his reputation is obviously not something that 120 million can buy. Based on this alone, he has to thank Chu Chen well.

So next, Wan Nianqing enthusiastically wanted to invite Chu Chen and the others to have a light meal. Although Chu Chen tried his best to politely decline, they still did not refuse, and they had no choice but to agree.

Just when everyone was about to go downstairs, they saw a clerk walking in with a middle-aged woman who was nearly 50 years old, with gray hair and plain clothes.

Seeing this middle-aged woman, Wan Nianqing frowned slightly, and asked, "Aju, why are you here?"
The middle-aged woman was holding a Buddha statue in her heart. She looked a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Wan, I can't help it either. Ajuan's illness can't be delayed, so I can only beg you."

Wan Nianqing sighed softly, and said: "Aju, it's not like you don't know that Ajuan's illness is a bottomless pit. If you continue like this, you will be dragged down sooner or later. You... hey!"

"Brother Wan, I also know that you mean well!"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman burst into tears: "But I only have a daughter, Ajuan. If she is gone, what is the point of my life? No matter how hard I am, I will find a way to cure her !"

Seeing the appearance of the middle-aged woman, Wan Nianqing felt very uncomfortable. After all, she is also a hard-working person. Considering that the relationship between myself and the middle-aged woman's family was pretty good before, please help if you can!

"Ajuan, I also watched her grow up. She has this disease now, and I feel very sorry for her. How about this, I will support her with another [-] yuan, and I will not be able to handle any more!"

"No, no!" The middle-aged woman shook her head repeatedly and said, "Brother Wan, you have already helped our family a lot in the past, and that's not what I mean by coming here today."

"That's it?" Hearing what she said, Wan Nianqing saw the Buddha statue in her arms again, and suddenly understood her thoughts: "Do you want to transfer the Buddha statue in your hand?"

"Yes... yes!" The middle-aged woman seemed a little nervous when she spoke, and then she said with a little embarrassment on her face: "This... This is my family's ancestral Buddha statue. I want to see how much it is worth!"

Wan Nianqing frowned and said, "Aju, I remember this is the Buddha statue that Aunt Xuan has been enshrining, right? Why did you take it out?"

"I...I can't help it!" Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and said with a choked voice: "There is really nothing to sell in my house, and only this thing is worth a little!"

Wan Nianqing frowned and said: "Why do you do this? Isn't she sad that the things that have been with Aunt Xuan for so many years are transferred out like this? You should take this thing back. 5 yuan should be enough for A Juan. After a period of treatment, the money will not be enough at that time, let's find a way again!"

The middle-aged woman shook her head again and again: "I don't want to do this either, but we can't keep bothering you, you should help me find out how much it is worth!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of the middle-aged woman, Wan Nianqing, who was familiar with her temper, could only sigh secretly, then took the Buddha statue and looked at it.

This is a very common seated statue of Sakyamuni, with gilt bronze and seals on both hands, with a solemn face and a solemn appearance. It looks pretty good, and it should be in the style of the late Qing Dynasty.

It's just that after Wan Nianqing turned the Buddha statue upside down, Chu Chen next to him found that apart from the fact that the seal was gone, the copper quality of the Buddha statue was not very good, and impurities could be seen with the naked eye. It's really rough. Even if it's from the late Qing Dynasty, Chu Chen thinks the market price is only about 1 yuan.

However, Wan Nianqing's reaction was just the opposite. He opened his eyes wide, showing a look of surprise, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Ah Ju, your Buddha statue is quite good. I conservatively estimate that the market value should be around Sixty thousand HKD!"

"Really?" The middle-aged woman asked with surprise.

"That's still fake, don't you still doubt my level?" Wan Nianqing said with some displeasure on his face.

"No! No!" The middle-aged woman quickly waved her hand and said, "I just find it a little unbelievable, so will you accept it?"

Wan Nianqing nodded and said: "I accept it, but I have to ask, do you really want to transfer it?"

The middle-aged woman seemed a little hesitant when she heard the words. After a while, she gritted her teeth and was about to nod her head in agreement.

But at this moment, Chu Chen suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

"Xiao Chu, what's the matter with you?" Wan Nianqing asked with some doubts, and the others also felt a little strange.

Chu Chen smiled apologetically, and then asked the middle-aged woman, "Auntie, I want to ask, is your name Liu Guoju, your hometown is in the capital, and you have an older brother named Liu Guomin?"

Hearing Chu Chen's question, the middle-aged woman couldn't help being stunned, and Wu Ke and Liu Sizhe, who knew the inside story, also understood what was going on, and even Liu Sizhe muttered to himself, no wonder no one could be found.

The reason why Liu Sizhe said this is also very simple. The image of the middle-aged woman is very different from the photos of Liu Guoju when she was young. If you look closely now, you can only vaguely see the outline of the year from her face , Just like that, how could they find her with the photos from back then?

The reason why Chu Chen thinks she is Liu Guoju is that besides she still vaguely looks like a young man, there is also Wan Nianqing's name for her, and the capital accent she has when talking to her.

Even so, Chu Chen really couldn't believe that his father's sister would become like this just now, and he didn't ask until the last moment.Fortunately, judging from the reaction of the middle-aged woman, she should be the person I have been looking for for several years.

"Sir, how did you know?" Liu Guoju came back to her senses and asked in surprise.

"Because Liu Guomin is my father, he asked me to find you for a long time!" Chu Chen explained.

"What!" Liu Guoju was stunned when he heard the words. Qiao Qian and the others who didn't know it felt a little confused. Chu Chen's surname was Chu, so how could he be Liu Guoju's nephew?Could it be that Chu Chen followed his mother's surname?Besides, isn't Chu Chen a child of the red family? Why did another father appear?
"No!" After a while, Liu Siju shook her head repeatedly and said, "I remember that when I came to Xiangjiang, my brother didn't write me a letter saying that he was married. How could he have a son as old as you?"

Chu Chen said: "It is true that my father never married in his whole life, I was adopted by him at the beginning!"

Chu Chen's answer made everyone else understand. Although Liu Guoju still didn't believe it, there was nothing to be deceived by her current appearance, so she asked nervously, "Then how is my brother now? "

"He is an old man, he passed away more than five years ago." Chu Chen replied with a sad expression.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Guoju felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. She couldn't believe it. When she heard the news about her brother again, she was already separated from yin and yang. Jue said: "My brother is obviously the son of the Lian family, how could he pass away so early, you must have made a mistake, right!"

Although Chu Chen didn't want to provoke her, he would have to face this matter sooner or later, so he explained: "Auntie, you also know that my father was criticized at the beginning, and his body already had a very serious hidden disease at that time. He practiced boxing, and he may have died long ago, but when he died, he didn't suffer any pain."

After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Guoju opened her mouth. She knew that her brother was vomiting blood from the beating, and it was very possible that he had a secret illness, but she really didn't want to believe this fact, and kept shaking her head with tears streaming down her face. , expressing disbelief.

"Aju!" Wan Nianqing snorted: "The facts are already like this, so what if you don't believe it? Don't you believe that your brother can be brought back to life? Life must go on, and you still have Aunt Xuan and Auntie Juan needs to take care of her, so let her be more relaxed!"

Hearing what Wan Nianqing said, Liu Guoju squatted down on the ground, covered her mouth and started crying bitterly.

Chu Chen originally wanted to go forward to persuade her, but Wan Nianqing stopped him and said to him in a low voice: "Aju has lived through a very bitter two years, and her heart is also very depressed, let her cry now, otherwise, In the future, she will really suffocate her body."

Chu Chen nodded with a heavy expression. Since Liu Guoju's husband's family was able to immigrate her to Xiangjiang back then, the family should have a certain financial capacity, and Liu Guoju's current appearance shows that something happened to the family. Looking at Liu Guoju's old face, one can imagine the hardships of her life.

At this moment, Chu Chen really wanted to ask about her situation, but it was really inconvenient to ask about the current situation, so he had no choice but to wait until later.
