Chu Chen chose what he liked, and Liu Sizhe on the other side also chose a relatively good bamboo carving pen holder, ready to give it to Liu Lao when he went back.

Wan Nianqing saw that the two of them had already chosen things, and he was very happy, and when Liu Sizhe finished settling the account, he hurriedly invited the two of them upstairs, and then signed an agreement with Chu Chen, and everyone was very happy for a while.

It's just that Wan Nianqing is happy, but also a little depressed, after all, it was one million and two hundred thousand to buy the jade wall, if it is not heartbroken, it must be fake, with his current economic strength, he has lost one million and two million, which is not enough to be able to face the realm and strength calmly, and if it is someone else, the performance will not necessarily be better than him.

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

And the loss of his reputation is obviously not something that 1.2 million can buy, just by virtue of this, he has to thank Xie Chuchen well.

So next, Wan Nianqing was very enthusiastic and wanted to invite Chu Chen and them to have a light meal, although Chu Chen tried his best to decline, but he still did not refuse, and they had to agree.

Just as everyone wanted to go downstairs, they saw the clerk walk in with a middle-aged woman who was nearly fifty years old, with gray hair and very simple clothes.

Seeing this middle-aged woman, Wan Nianqing frowned slightly and asked, "Ah Ju." What are you doing here? ”

The middle-aged woman was holding a Buddha statue in her heart, and her expression was a little cramped. said: "Brother Wan, I can't help it. Ajuan's illness really can't be delayed, and I can only come to beg you. ”

Wan Nianqing sighed softly and said, "Ah Ju, 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 ...... Ay! ”

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

Speaking of this, the middle-aged woman burst into tears: "But I am only Ajuan's daughter." 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 middle-aged woman like this, Wan Nianqing felt very uncomfortable, in the final analysis, she is also a hard-working person, and then I think that the relationship between myself and the middle-aged woman's family was very good, if you can help, you should help!

"Ajuan, I also watched her grow up. She has this disease now, and I feel sorry for her, so let's support her another 50,000. No matter how much I can't do it, I'm a little overwhelmed! ”

"No, no, no!" The middle-aged woman shook her head again and again and said, "Brother Wan, you have already helped our family a lot before, and I didn't mean to come here today." ”

"That's?" Hear her say so. Wan Nianqing saw the Buddha statue in her arms again, and immediately understood her thoughts: "Do you want to transfer the Buddha statue in your hand?" ”

"Yes...... Yes! The middle-aged woman looked a little nervous when she spoke. Then he said with some embarrassment on his face: "This ...... This is my family's ancestral Buddha statue and I wanted to see how much it could be worth! ”

Wan Nianqing heard the words and looked at the Buddha statue. frowned and said, "Ah Ju, I remember that this seems to be the Buddha statue that Aunt Xuan has been worshipping, right?" How did you get it out too? ”

"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 in a choked voice: "My family really has nothing to sell, and only this thing is worth a little!" ”

Wan Nianqing frowned and said, "Why do you bother? Isn't it sad that the things that have accompanied Aunt Xuan for so many years are transferred out like this? You better take this thing back, 50,000 yuan should be enough for Ajuan's treatment during this time, and then the money will not be enough, let's find a way! ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head again and again: "I don't want to do this either, but we can't always trouble you, you better help me see how much it's worth!" ”

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

This is a very common seated statue of Sakyamuni, the whole body is bronze gilt, the hands are sealed, the face is solemn, the law is solemn, it looks good, it should be the style of the late Qing Dynasty.

It's just that when Wan Nianqing turned the Buddha statue upside down, Chu Chen next to him found that in addition to the fact that there was no longer a seal, the copper quality of the Buddha statue was not very good, and the impurities could be seen with the naked eye, and from the workmanship inside, it was really a little rough, even if it was in the late Qing Dynasty, Chu Chen felt that the market price was only about 10,000 yuan.

However, Wan Nianqing's reaction was the opposite, his eyes widened, showing a look of surprise, and he said in a slightly excited tone: "Ah Ju, your Buddha statue is still very good, I conservatively estimate that the market value should be 60,000 HKD!" ”

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

"Then it's still false, do you still doubt my level?" Wan Nianqing said with some displeasure on his face.

"It's not! No! The middle-aged woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I just think it's a little unbelievable, so can you accept it?" ”

Wan Nianqing nodded and said, "I will accept it, but I have to ask, do you really want to transfer it out of Lu?" ”

The middle-aged woman looked a little hesitant when she heard this, and after half a sound, she gritted her teeth and was ready to nod her head in agreement.

However, at this moment, Chu Chen suddenly spoke: "Wait a minute!" ”

"Xiao Chu, what's the matter with you?" Wan Nianqing asked with some confusion, 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 there is an elder brother named Liu Guomin?" ”

Hearing Chu Chen's question, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but be stunned, and Wu Ke and Liu Sizhe, who knew the inside story of the Dao, 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, it is really that the image of a middle-aged woman is very different from the photo of Liu Guoju when she was young, and now if you look closely, you can only vaguely see a trace of the outline of the year from her face, just like that, how could they find her with the photos of that year?

And the reason why Chu Chen thinks she is Liu Guoju, in addition to the fact that she still has a vague trace of her youth, there is also Wan Nianqing's title for her, and the Beijing accent when she speaks.

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 she has been looking for for several years.

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

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

"What!" Liu Guoju was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Qiao Qian and the others, who didn't know, felt a little confused, Chu Chen's surname was Chu, how could it be Liu Guoju's nephew? Could it be that Chu Chen followed his mother's surname? And Chu Chen is not a child of the Red Family, why did another father come out?

"That's not right!" After a while, Liu Siju shook his head again and again and said, "I remember that when I came to Xiangjiang, my brother didn't write to me to say that he was married, how could there be a son as big as you?" ”

Chu Chen said: "My father has indeed never been married in his life, and I was adopted by him at the beginning!" ”

Chu Chen's answer made everyone else understand, although Liu Guoju still didn't believe it, but she looked like she was now, and there was nothing to deceive, so she asked a little nervously: "Then how is my brother now?" ”

"He was an old man, and he died more than five years ago." Chu Chen replied with a gloomy expression.

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Liu Guoju felt like a bolt from the blue, she really couldn't believe it, when she heard her brother's news again, it was already yin and yang, and when she came back to her senses, she said with grief: "My brother is obviously a Lian family, how could he pass away so early, you must have made a mistake, right!" ”

Although Chu Chen didn't want to stimulate her, this matter would have to be faced sooner or later, so he explained: "Auntie, you also know that Lu Dao's father was criticized at the beginning, and his body already had a very serious secret disease at that time, if he hadn't practiced boxing, he might have died a long time ago, but fortunately, when he died at that time, he didn't suffer any pain." ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Guoju opened her mouth, she knew that her brother had been beaten and vomited blood at that time, and it was very possible for her to have a dark disease, but she really didn't want to believe this fact, and shook her head again and again with tears streaming down her face, expressing her disbelief.

"Aju!" Wan Nianqing snorted: "The facts are already like this, what can you do if you don't believe it?" Don't you believe that your brother will be able to rise from the dead? Life still has to go on, and you still have Aunt Xuan and Ajuan to take care of, so let's open up a little bit! ”

Hearing Wan Nianqing say this, Liu Guoju squatted on the ground, covered his mouth and cried bitterly.

Chu Chen originally wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Wan Nianqing stopped him and whispered to him: "Ah Ju has been very bitter for two years, and her heart is also very depressed, let's let her cry bitterly now, otherwise, she will really suffocate her body in the future." ”

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 amount of financial ability, and Liu Guoju's current appearance is obvious, something has changed in the family, coupled with Liu Guoju's old face, the hardships of his life can be imagined.

At this moment, Chu Chen really wanted to ask her about her situation, but now this situation was really inconvenient to ask, so he had to wait for another talk. (To be continued......)
