Chapter 9: Disaster Falls from Heaven

This room full of red sour branch wood furniture reminds me of the trafficker back then.

Although many years have passed, until now, I still remember the appearance of that person, black and thin, with the corners of his eyes down, and his eyes squinting when looking at people, which made people very uncomfortable.

When I was in college, there was a place called "Sanxian Bridge" near the school, which was a special old wood trading market, and I went to it a few times from time to time, where I saw the value of this wood.

At that time, an old man held a string of beads of similar color to the trafficker and asked for 50,000 yuan.

In the end, the owner of the second-hand market bargained with him, and finally sold the deal at a price of 12,000 yuan.

It was just a string of beads, and it was sold for what I thought was a sky-high price, and now, when I was in the guest room, I saw a room full of red sour wood furniture, which was even more valuable.

Tang Muzhou sat on a Taishi chair, he took out his mobile phone and slid it a few times, then looked at me: "Tang Xiaofan, do you have any questions to ask me?" ”

I nodded, and sat down on the other Taishi across from him.

The stool is expensive, but it's not very comfortable to sit on. Maybe it's because I've lost a little weight, and I always feel like my diaphragm hurts my butt.

In this "Dongshan Club", there are indeed some things that make me feel weird.

The unsmiling housekeeper Hu, as well as the strange water tower in the center of the clubhouse, and the three relatives in plain clothes who seemed to have crossed over in the mourning hall......

It's really weird that all of this I've seen is connected.

Moreover, doesn't my aunt still have a son? Why didn't you see anyone? Xiao Anning's father, Shen Mengru's husband, I didn't see it just now.

It stands to reason that my mother and grandmother have passed away, and as the male in the family, no matter how busy I am, I should stay at the mourning hall for the last time to pay homage to filial piety.

So, I asked Tang Muzhou: "What about my cousin and cousin?" Where are they? Why didn't you see them? "

Hearing me ask, Tang Muzhou looked stunned, and after a while, he looked at me and whispered: "Their father and son, they are long gone......

I was stunned by this.

My deceased aunt and grandmother had a son and a daughter, and the daughter I had just met was the one who raised her eyebrows and stared at An Jiaqi.

I have never met her son, my cousin, and his son, the father of the little Anning.

Now that I heard Tang Muzhou say that their father and son are no longer alive, I was a little confused.

Although the father and son are relatives of me, they have never met, and although I am not sad to learn of their death, I really feel sudden.

My aunt and grandmother experienced the white-haired person sending the black-haired person before her death, which was also quite sad.

At this moment, Tang Muzhou's mobile phone rang, and when the phone was connected, he was talking to the person over there.

It was grandma who called, and after Tang Muzhou said a few words to her, he handed me the phone and said that grandma wanted to say a few words to me.

When I took the phone, my grandmother called me over there.

Her mental state sounded pretty good, and after we exchanged a few greetings, my grandmother suddenly asked about my dad.

I haven't called her to tell her about my dad's coma and hospitalization.

It's Tang Muzhou, a few days ago, I briefly told him about my father's situation on the phone.

He asked me if I needed help and I said I could handle it for the time being.

My dad doesn't have a good relationship with his second uncle Tang Wuzhou, and if he is awake, he shouldn't want me to beg their father and son.

As for my grandmother, I didn't dare to tell her anything at all, after all, she was also so old, and if she was worried that something would go wrong with her body, it would be even more troublesome.

I paused for a moment and said to my grandmother, "My dad is running a chicken noodle shop, and he is too busy to come." ”

After hearing this, grandma snorted: "Xiaofan, you have grown up now, you have to discuss more with your father if you have something to do, and help him share the burden more." ”

I replied perfunctorily a few times, what else did my grandmother want to ask, and I had already given the phone to Tang Muzhou.

After my mom left, it was actually my grandma who was taking me.

And my attitude towards her just now was not very good, she must have some ideas in her heart.

However, I can't help it.

Instead of letting my grandmother worry about her stomach and not sleeping well, it is better to just let her think that I have no heart and lungs.

After Tang Muzhou said a few more words to his grandmother, he hung up the phone.

Then he went to the window and looked, and when he was sure that no one was outside, he turned and walked up to me, bowed his head and whispered in my ear:

"Xiaofan, I only found out about the death of my cousin's father and son yesterday."

Next, Tang Muzhou talked about what happened two years before settling down:

My aunt and grandmother gave birth to two children in her life, namely the eldest son An Haixin and daughter An Jiaqi.

An Haixin is ten years older than An Jiaqi, he is the only son in the family, in his early twenties, his aunt and husband died, and An Haixin inherited the family business naturally.

Anjia is a catering, has opened several very large restaurants, almost achieved a monopoly position in the industry, and is also the richest person in Dongshan County.

After An Haixin took over, because of the reform of private ownership at that time, except for one restaurant, the rest of An's restaurants were reformed into publicly-owned hotels.

In the 90s, the public ownership system underwent a shareholding reform, and the An family bought back the previous few hotels.

Through his own efforts, An Haixin has managed well, making Anjia's business bigger and bigger, and his business is prosperous.

During this period, An Haixin also married a wife and gave birth to a son named Ankang, who lived a comfortable life, and lived a life that made others envious, and he was very happy.

And An Haixin's sister, Aunt and Grandma's daughter An Jiaqi, has reached the age when she should get married, but she has always refused to get married.

My aunt was very worried about her, and she found a lot of good partners for her, but An Jia couldn't look down on her.

Emotionally, my aunt and grandmother are from the past, and those things in the past are well known to everyone in Qingshen County. The aunt thought that her daughter had a sweetheart, and was worried that she would follow her own old path, so she asked her what she thought.

But who knew that An Jiaqi just raised his eyebrows: "Mom, don't say it, I won't get married in my life, so I'll stay at home!" ”

The daughter does not get married, which has become a heart disease for her aunt.

An Haixin also tried to persuade her sister, but she just refused to marry, and she didn't compromise no matter what she said.

As soon as he settled down, he was old, and his family had to give up.

More than 20 years have passed, and An Haixin's son has grown up, married a wife again, and gave birth to Xiao Anning.

There are successors to the family, and the aunt and grandmother hold the little great-grandson all day long, happy.

But who knows, such a good day that others envy is still coming to an end. On that rainy afternoon, at a moment that no one expected, suddenly, disaster fell from the sky......
