Wang Youmu came out of his eldest brother's house and went directly to Liu Qishan, Liu Qishan saw that it was Wang Youmu who knocked on the door, and he wondered in his heart. poured a cup of tea for Wang Youmu and said to Wang Youmu who was sitting on the sofa

"You're a kid, this is your first time coming to our house."

"Yes, Brother Qishan's house, this is the first time I've come to the door. Wang Youmu replied.

"Why did I hear that you and your eldest brother fell out for the rest of Liu's life, have you reconciled now?" Liu Qishan continued to ask

"What can my eldest brother and I quarrel about, it's just that there are some things that he doesn't understand what's going on. ”

Liu Qishan looked at the younger brother of the comrade-in-arms in front of him and said earnestly

"Youmu, some things are really not as simple as you think, your eldest brother doesn't want you to be framed, doesn't want you to escape from death, and in the end there is no credit, and you are burdened with responsibilities that you shouldn't bear. ”

"I know, I know it. Wang Youmu said slowly

Seeing that Wang Youmu was a little absent-minded, Liu Qishan didn't want to continue the topic anymore, some things were just done, and then asked

"Then what are you looking for me today?"

Wang Youmu also adjusted his emotions and replied

"Brother Qishan, I'm looking for you for something, you can take a look at this thing. ”

As he spoke, he handed the box containing the jade lion in his hand to Liu Qishan, and took the box handed by Wang Youmu, Liu Qishan opened it and looked at it, he was a little surprised.

He has seen the jade lion in this box, he has seen it in Wang Qingshan's house, he is influenced by the old man in the family, and he also loves jade, and he has also learned some jade appreciation with the old man.

Once when he went to Wang Qingshan's house to chat, he accidentally talked about the jade artifact, Wang Qingshan took out this jade lion, saying that he wanted him to see it, and he saw it at that time, this thing should be a pair, and he asked Wang Qingshan if it was a pair? Wang Qingshan told him that there was only one, and now that he saw this jade lion, Liu Qishan thought to himself, could it be that the two of them are one for each of them? So he asked

"Youmu, is this yours or the one from your eldest brother's house?"

Wang Youmu didn't expect Liu Qishan to see the jade lion, hearing him ask, it seems that Liu Qishan misunderstood this lion, he and Wang Qingshan are one person, Wang Youmu replied

"Brother Qishan, you may have misunderstood, my grandfather only left this thing, and this is what you saw at my eldest brother's house. ”

"Oh, I'll just say, I told your eldest brother at that time, this lion should be a pair, he said that he is just such a one, and now I see it and think that you brothers have one, so this?"

"This is what my grandfather left me, and I have kept it with my eldest brother, and I want you to help me take a look. ”

Liu Qishan was a little puzzled, what did you bring to show me the things at home, so he asked curiously

"Youmu, I've seen this lion at your eldest brother's house, and you're letting me see it now?"

Wang Youmu thought that since Liu Qishan had already seen the jade lion, he should know the value, so he said

"Brother Qishan, that's the case, since you've seen it, I don't know if this thing has any value, if you can, I want to mortgage it to you. ”

Hearing Wang Youmu say this, Liu Qishan felt a little embarrassed, he knew the value of this lion, to put it bluntly, this thing was left by his fathers, and now Wang Youmu wants to mortgage it to himself, does Wang Qingshan know about this? He felt that he had to ask clearly, Liu Qishan handed Wang Youmu a cigarette, and then asked slowly

"Youmu, this thing is very good, I told your eldest brother earlier, you mortgaged him to me, does your eldest brother know?"

Wang Youmu knew why Liu Qishan asked this, he could understand it, he replied

"My eldest brother knows about my mortgage, but he doesn't know that he mortgages it to Brother Qishan, this thing is not understood by ordinary people, I think you should know how to do it, so I can only run to you. ”

Liu Qishan understood, it seemed that Wang Youmu was in trouble, so he took back the jade lion from Wang Qingshan, and then came to mortgage it for himself, but he didn't understand a little, Wang Youmu encountered any difficulties, and Wang Qingshan couldn't solve it, so he asked his younger brother to take the heirloom out and mortgage it, he took a sip of water and continued to ask

"Youmu, what difficulties have you encountered, if your eldest brother can't help it, tell me, this thing is a family heirloom, and ordinary people will not easily take it out and mortgage it to others. ”

Wang Youmu didn't expect that the relationship between Liu Qishan and his eldest brother Wang Qingshan was so deep that he cared so much about himself, he said gratefully

"Brother Qishan, thank you! I encountered something, but I didn't tell my eldest brother, I just got the jade lion back from him, and I didn't say anything specific. Then he paused and continued

"Don't ask anything, I will mortgage this lion to you, I will believe you, and I will return the money to you after a while, and you will give me this lion again, okay?"

When Liu Qishan heard Wang Youmu say this, he also knew that he was not good at asking anything, so he thought about it and said

"It's okay, you say, how much money do you need, I'll see if I can help you." ”

Wang Youmu has already thought about it, he is not selling the jade lion, but just using it as a mortgage for emergency, his small savings cannot be moved, there are many places to spend money on the child's birth, Xu Weidong has more than 100 yuan, and he only needs to raise the rest for him, so he said

"If you can give me 700 yuan. ”

Liu Qishan saw that Wang Youmu had even taken out the heirloom and mortgaged it, and thought that if he had more money, he would have to think of a way, and listened to the amount Wang Youmu said, and said with a sigh of relief

"Okay, no problem, when do you want it, I don't have so many at home, or you can go to my office at noon tomorrow to pick it up." ”

Thinking of his comrade-in-arms Wang Qingshan, he continued

"I don't ask about your affairs, but there is wood, you have so much money, you should be careful yourself, no matter what you do, don't be deceived, put the things here first, when you have money, you can take the things at any time. ”

"I know, Brother Qishan, thank you!"

"Okay, you're going to come to the door for the first time, you don't look like you have eaten yet, I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you something to eat." Liu Qishan said with a smile

Wang Youmu didn't stay to eat in the end, Liu Qishan's help had already moved him, how embarrassed was he to stay and eat now, he came out of Liu Qishan's house and hurried home directly.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Youmu felt that the atmosphere at home was not right, his wife Xu Qiuli sat there in a silent daze, he came in and ignored him, Wang Youmu walked over and asked softly

"Qiuli, what's wrong with you, why are you sitting here alone in a daze?"

In fact, when she just got home from work, Xu Qiuli was in a good mood, but after a while, her sister-in-law Zhu Ling came.

She and Zhu Ling have always gotten along well, but as soon as Zhu Ling entered the door today, she was furious, said a lot of ugly things, and finally slammed the door and left.

Regarding Zhu Ling's attitude, to be honest, she didn't pay much attention to it, but her husband actually had an accident, he didn't tell her, and he went behind her back to get the heirloom mortgage, which made her very dissatisfied.

Looking at her husband, Xu Qiuli said quietly

"My sister-in-law came just now. ”

As soon as Wang Youmu heard that his sister-in-law Zhu Ling had come, he understood why the atmosphere at home was wrong.

Xu Qiuli looked at her husband, who was speechless, and continued to ask

"Ariki, am I still your wife?

"Of course we are, of course we are family. ”

"Then why don't you tell me if you have something?" Xu Qiuli continued to ask

Wang Youmu knew that he couldn't keep this matter from his wife, and sooner or later he would have to let Xu Qiuli know, and now that the jade lion had been mortgaged to Liu Qishan, he felt that there was no need to hide it.

So Wang Youmu told Xu Qiuli the ins and outs of the matter carefully, and after Xu Qiuli listened, she stood up directly and said

"Let's go, you take me to Brother Qishan. ”

Wang Youmu didn't understand what his wife meant by this, and asked

"Why are you going to go to Brother Qishan now?"

"Get the stuff back. Xu Qiuli replied

Wang Youmu knew why Xu Qiuli did this, and he also understood that Xu Weidong's words could not be fully believed, could he really let Xu Weidong sell the house? He took his wife's hand, sat down again, and then said

"Qiu Li, I know you are suspicious of the eldest brother's statement, but have you thought about it, if I don't help him, what if he really sells the house?"

"Then let him live on the road, I know him too well, he is not so kind-hearted, what do you say in order not to let people, there is no material to suffer after the snow, you believe in him too much. Xu Qiuli said angrily

"Don't worry, but anyway, if there is no house, what should Dad do? Don't say anything else, Dad is in this condition, what do you think the old man will do if he knows that the house is gone?"

Seeing his wife sitting there silently, Wang Youmu continued

"No matter what the old man does to me, he is my father-in-law after all, and now he is sick again, I really don't want anything wrong, I tell you the truth about this money, I didn't expect your eldest brother to pay it back, I just thought that we would save some money in the future and slowly return it to Brother Qishan, I believe that as long as the money is repaid, he will definitely give me the jade lion." ”

When Xu Qiuli heard this, she felt distressed, it turned out that her husband was doing all this and carrying such a lot of economic pressure, all for her father, she threw herself into her husband's arms and said apologetically

"Ariki, I'm sorry, I blame you!"

"Why am I angry with you, it's all because I didn't tell you in advance. ”

Comforting his wife in his arms, Wang Youmu thought: I hope that Xu Weidong can live a good life in the future through this matter, treat his father-in-law well, and let himself have less regret in his heart......
