The old man Ma Youde sat under the longan tree in front of his house, thinking about his heart a thousand times, and he couldn't make up his mind about the approach proposed by his son Ma Jiajun.

Ma Youde is 67 years old this year, his wife has passed away more than ten years ago, and now only his son Ma Jiajun is left to rely on him.

Ma Youde only had his only son Ma Jiajun in his forties, and he was also an old man, although the conditions at home were very poor, but he had been very fond of this son since he was a child, no matter how bitter he was, he refused to let his son be wronged.

When his son had not married a daughter-in-law after the age of twenty-four, Ma Youde began to be a little anxious. Rural children generally marry relatively early, and there are many people who get married at the age of 20, like Ma Jiajun is 25 years old and still does not have a partner, how can Ma Youde not be in a hurry, Chinese, especially the older generation in the countryside, who does not regard the inheritance of the family as a major matter.

In fact, Ma Youde knows very well that his son is also outstanding in terms of character and appearance, but who makes his family too poor, it can be said that his family is surrounded by walls and is poor. Today's girls are realistic, looking for a partner, talking about economic strength, if you are a poor person, even if you are more handsome than Andy Lau, I will not follow you.

Unexpectedly, a beautiful daughter-in-law fell from the sky, or a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl, this girl actually wanted a heart with her son, Ma Youde was happy in his heart.

But more than half a month ago, his son said that Ruan Chengxiang could marry him, but he needed to return the bride price of more than 100,000 yuan to Che Baobao.

Ma Youde was anxious when he heard it: As far as the conditions of his own family are concerned, let alone 100,000 yuan, even 30,000 yuan can't be taken out!

"Dad, I know that we have a pair of jasper chess pieces at home, and if we take out this jasper chess and sell it, it will be worth at least one million yuan. Do you want to sell this jasper chess?", Ma Jiajun looked into his old father's eyes and said, also a little sad when he said this.

Ma Jiajun didn't know the meaning of this jasper chess to his Ma family, it was a real heirloom, if it weren't for his beloved Ah Xiang and those lovely children in the school, he would not be willing to embarrass his father.

Ma Youde was taken aback, "How do you know that this jasper chess is now in my hands? I never told you about it." ”

"One night half a year ago, I accidentally saw you take out this jasper chess piece to admire, and said to yourself that you will wait until a hundred years later to pass this ancestral heirloom to me, so I know that this pair of treasures that are said to have been missing for more than three hundred years are in our hands. ”

Ma Youde sighed and said: "Because this jasper chess is very important, I don't dare to spread the news that the jasper chess fell into my hands, otherwise there will be big trouble, so I can't even reveal this matter easily to you, but I didn't expect it to be known." ”

"That's right, the jasper chess that caused the dispute between the rook and the horse is indeed in our house. In the twenties of the last century, when the warlords were fighting and the world was in turmoil, my father, your grandfather, was a colonel of the Kuomintang, and once he led his troops to eliminate a group of bandits in the mountains, but unexpectedly appeared in the bandits' den of jasper chess, which had been missing for hundreds of years, so he killed a few soldiers who knew about it and secretly hid this jasper chess. ”

"However, it's not that no one knows that we have this jasper chess in our house, according to your grandfather, someone in the Che family may know that this jasper chess is in our hands, but that person is not in the country now, when the liberation was in 49 years, he fled to Taiwan with the defeat of the Kuomintang, and there has been no news of him for so many years, maybe he has died. ”

After talking to his son that day, Ma Youde fell into a dilemma: if he didn't sell this pair of jasper chess, his son would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, but if he wanted to sell this pair of jasper chess, how could he be worthy of his father in heaven!

As soon as he had lunch today, Ma Youde sat under the longan tree in front of his house again, but it was still difficult to make up his mind.

"Uncle Youde, have you eaten lunch?", suddenly a middle-aged man's voice woke Ma Youde from his contemplation.

Ma Youde turned his face to look at the middle-aged man who was talking, "Hanping, you are a busy man, what kind of good wind brought you to your Uncle Youde today?"

The person who came was Ma Hanping, the village chief of Majiazhai, who was Ma Youde's nephew, and he didn't have much contact with Ma Youde.

Ma Hanping said with a smile: "Uncle Youde, you are really right, and there is really something good to come to you." You have a friend who has been separated for decades and you come to visit you, and you say it's not a good thing!"

Ma Youde scolded with a smile: "Aren't you kid making fun of your uncle? Poor people like us, what long-lost friends will come to find there? Our family doesn't even have many relatives. ”

Ma Han said calmly: "Uncle Youde, I'm not joking. I received a call from Mr. Wang, the number one person in the town, saying that you have a good friend who has been separated for many years and is looking for you, as if he is a wealthy businessman on Hong Kong Island with the surname Che. They are already on their way and are estimated to be there in more than ten minutes. ”

"What? A wealthy businessman on Hong Kong Island surnamed Che? Could it be that the man's son has returned?" Ma Youde stood up suddenly, his face changed color, and he lost his voice, "I'm sorry, I don't have any old friends on Hong Kong Island." I think he must have made a mistake, Han Ping, please tell Mr. Wang, I'm not feeling well now, and I don't have any old friends to meet, so I don't need to trouble that rich businessman on Hong Kong Island with the surname Che to come to me. ”

Ma Youde said, turned around and walked towards the house, leaving Ma Hanping with a hurried back.

As a native of Majiazhai, how could Ma Hanping not know that the feud between the two families of Ma and Che has lasted for hundreds of years, but he is the village chief of Majiazhai, so he can only put aside the grievances of the two families and complete the task assigned to him by Mr. Wang.

However, Ma Hanping didn't expect Ma Youde's reaction to be so drastic, and he was suddenly a little anxious and embarrassed: It's not just Mr. Wang's order now, I heard that the wealthy businessman on Hong Kong Island surnamed Che was accompanied by Lu Chenglong, the number one person in the county!

Ma Hanping's sweat surged to his face all of a sudden, and he didn't care about wiping his sweat, so he was about to chase into the house to persuade Ma Youde, but he saw more than a dozen people coming over from the village, wasn't it Mr. Wang and they arrived.

Ma Hanping gritted his teeth: Alas, there is no way, let's go to meet Mr. Wang and the rich businessman on Hong Kong Island first, as for the problem that Ma Youde does not want to meet, let the people above solve it!

Ma Hanping greeted Secretary Wang and his party.
