Chapter 515: An Unexpected Encounter (Continued)
When Chu Chen saw Liu Guoju's expression, he immediately guessed her thoughts, and explained with a smile: "Auntie, my family is indeed in good condition, but don't worry, my money is all earned by myself." β
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Liu Guoju said with some doubts: "Xiao Chen, don't lie to me, although it is more difficult now, I still have the principles that I should have!" β
"Auntie, why should I lie to you!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, in addition to antiques, I also run a jade business, and my eyesight is okay with gambling stones, once a piece of wool, I earned more than 50 million RMB." β
Liu Guoju listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and was speechless in shock on the spot, she knew how to gamble on stones, and she had heard her husband talk about it before, saying that the gambling stone master earns hundreds of millions a year, and it is easy to play, but that is the gambling stone master, Chu Chen is so young, can it be the gambling stone master?
Wu Ke said with a smile next to him: "Ah Chen's gambling ability is at the master level, just in October, he defeated the most proud disciple of the Jade King and won hundreds of millions of RMB!" β
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but show a proud look on her face.
Hearing this, Liu Guoju was already a little numb in shock, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses, at this time, she was really grateful to her brother for being able to adopt such a powerful son, and at the same time, she was even more grateful to her brother's spirit in the sky for allowing Chu Chen to meet her.
Thinking that with Chu Chen's support, her daughter should be able to use better medicine and live longer, as for being completely cured, she doesn't have extravagant hopes. After all, this kind of problem is a problem that has not yet been overcome by the medical community in the world, and it may be able to be overcome in the future. However, it is unknown whether the daughter will be able to support it until that day.
All she wants is now. With Chu Chen's support, her daughter should not leave her prematurely, and it will be fine.
When the group came to the room where Chu Chen lived, Chu Chen took out a letter from a small gift box and handed it to Liu Guoju.
Then, Liu Guoju took out the letter paper from the envelope with a slight trembling hand, and when she saw her brother's handwriting, tears began to keep falling, so to speak. She read the whole letter with tears in her eyes.
Liu Guoju carefully stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and then she asked Chu Chen for the location of the bathroom, and when she went in and closed the door, everyone heard the faint howling and crying from inside, which made everyone listen to it very unpleasantly.
Wu Ke hugged Chu Chen's arm and sighed: "I now kind of understand the meaning of what Zhou Xingxing said, don't wait until you lose it to regret it, let's go." Now I must cherish everything in front of me, I don't want to be sad and regretful like my aunt in the future! β
Everyone nodded and agreed, with Liu Guoju's experience. They feel even more that family affection and love are precious, after all, no one wants to end up like Liu Guoju in the future. Because of a misunderstanding, the brother and sister have not seen each other for decades. And when I learned the news of my brother, it was already yin and yang.
It's been a long time. Liu Guoju hadn't come out yet, Chu Chen hurriedly walked to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and shouted a few more times.
Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as Chu Chen thought, and after a while, Liu Guoju walked out with red eyes, and said apologetically: "Xiaochen, I'm really sorry for making you wait for a long time!" β
"It's okay! But you're fine! Chu Chen asked with concern.
"It's okay!" Liu Guoju shook his head and said, "Xiaochen, I'm really sorry, when you first went to the capital, you suffered a lot, right?" β
"I didn't suffer anything, I couldn't find you back then, I lived in Uncle Wu's house, and he has been very good to me all these years!"
Liu Guoju heard Chu Chen mention Uncle Wu, and knew who he was talking about, and she couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, thinking that when she was a child, she had always played with Uncle Wu, but later because of her wrong decision back then, Uncle Wu had a great opinion of her, and later she became a stranger.
Thinking of this, Liu Guoju couldn't help laughing at herself, now that she thinks about it, that decision can be said to have made her lose too much, if it weren't for this, maybe her life is still very happy now. Of course, she will not regret the union with her deceased husband in the first place.
Speaking of this, Chu Chen walked up to Wu Ke, put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Keke is Uncle Wu's daughter, my fiancΓ©e, we will be engaged on the sixth of next month, and your family is welcome to come then!" β
Liu Guoju was very surprised by this, she didn't expect that Wu Ke would be Uncle Wu's daughter, and she was already engaged to Chu Chen, of course, in addition to being surprised, she was also sincerely happy for the couple, and said with a smile: "That's really congratulations, if we have time, we will definitely go!" β
When Chu Chen heard what Liu Guoju said, he knew her concerns, so he said with a smile: "Auntie, I will send someone to arrange your itinerary at that time, and then you can also let your cousin and grandma play in the capital together, and you can also relax your spirits, which should help your condition." β
Immediately afterwards, before Liu Guoju agreed, he added: "Don't refuse this matter, let's just say it!" β
Seeing this situation, Liu Guoju smiled bitterly, but also didn't know what Lu Dao said.
Next, Chu Chen and Wu Ke were going to go to her place with Liu Guoju to have a look. Originally, Chu Chen wanted Liu Sizhe and them not to go, but they resolutely wanted to go together on the grounds that there might be something for them to help, and Chu Chen could only go with them.
The group took a taxi and came to the community where Liu Guoju lived in the suburbs of Xiangjiang.
The location here is very remote, and the environment is not flattering, from time to time you can see the gangsters passing by every now and then, and they also blow the hooligan whistle to Wu Ke, which makes Liu Sizhe very angry, if it weren't for Chu Chen to stop him, plus he also knew that it was no good to do it here, otherwise he would have rushed up and punched and kicked him.
Seeing this, Liu Guoju could only apologize embarrassedly, of course, Chu Chen and they wouldn't blame her, after all, if there was no way, Liu Guoju's family would not be able to live here.
The group went upstairs and walked through a long and very narrow corridor before coming to Liu Guoju's rented place.
When I opened the door with the key, I heard an old man's voice inside, asking in Cantonese, "Is it Ah Ju?" β
"It's me!" Liu Guoju hurriedly walked in the door, first looked at her daughter on the bed, and found that she was sleeping, so she asked the old lady who was also on the bed: "Mom, are you okay?" β
"Good!" The old lady sat up and answered, and then saw the Buddha statue held by Liu Guoju in her hand, so she frowned and asked, "Why, this Buddha statue Ah Qing didn't accept it?" β
Liu Guoju put the Buddha statue on a small table and quickly explained: "No! Brother Wan, he originally wanted to accept it, but I met my nephew, and he learned about the situation of our family, saying that he would be responsible for Ajuan's illness in the future, so this Buddha statue does not need to be transferred to Brother Wan. β
"Your nephew? It can't be a liar, right? The old lady asked suspiciously.
Liu Guoju smiled bitterly: "How can it be a liar, besides, look at what else is there to deceive in our family?" β
"Then where did you get your nephew?" The old lady asked again.
"It's my brother's adopted son!"
Speaking of this, Liu Guoju patted his head and said, "Look at me, I haven't invited them in yet!" β
After saying that, she hurriedly walked to the door, apologized, and welcomed everyone in.
After Chu Chen and the others came in, they first greeted the old lady with a smile, and then put some fruit gifts in their hands on the ground, not that they didn't want to enter the table, but the table was already full of things, and they couldn't put down the gifts they brought.
And what made Chu Chen frown a little was that this room was too small, it should only be less than twenty square meters, there were two beds and a table and a simple wardrobe in the room, it was already full, and now there were gifts they brought on the ground, and they all felt a little helpless.
Although the room was organized by Liu Guoju, the room was too small, and the toilet and kitchen were also shared, and the environment was really poor, so Chu Chen and the people who were used to living in a big house were a little uncomfortable.
Liu Guoju saw Chu Chen's expressions and understood what was going on, which made her heart really bitter, but there was no way to do it, and living in such a room already made her a little unaffordable, if it weren't for the physical reasons of her daughter and mother-in-law, she would have wanted to live in a cage house in order to save money.
The so-called cage house, also known as a bed apartment, refers to a unit with 12 or more tenants, each surrounded by barbed wire, and sharing a kitchen and toilet, so it is vividly called a cage house. In such places, there are generally a large number of old, weak and poor people living in a dense group, and the living environment is quite poor.
It is estimated that Chu Chen and the sound of them coming in was a little loud, which made Qiang Meijuan wake up from her sleep, and she wanted to sit up with some difficulty, seeing this, Liu Guoju hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and picked up a pillow and put it behind her.
"Mom, who are they?" Qiang Meijuan cleared her throat, and then asked a little weakly.
"Oh, this is your cousin......" Liu Guoju hurriedly made a brief introduction to the two sides.
Qiang Meijuan looks like she should be a beauty embryo, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a melon seed face, looking sweet and cute, but because of the torture of illness, the whole person has become skinny and skinny, so Chu Chen and the others can't help but feel pity in their hearts.
Everyone stepped forward to say hello to her one by one, and Chu Chen said with a smile: "Xiaojuan, I have heard of your name from my cousin before!" ......" (To be continued......)
