Chapter 288
"Bang~"
A novel was thrown at Wei Jiaxian.
Tan Min said with contempt, "Just say what you're asked. Hiding things all day long, treating those Four Olds thoughts like treasures, as if anyone cares."
"You..."
Wei Jiaxian took a breath, as if to muster the courage to fight with his brother-in-law Tan Min, but the next moment he softened again, turning back into a mute.
Li Ye looked at this pair of brother-in-law and brother-in-law, smiling, "This can't be called Four Olds stuff. Some skills are still very precious. We must respect other people's heritage."
Hearing Li Ye say this, Wei Jiaxian felt embarrassed. He whispered, "It's not any treasure, it's all deceptive stuff. I'm afraid it will be used by others if it spreads out.
It can't be faked by machine. If you really want to fake it, you can only do it by hand, and it takes time. Short is one or two years, long is three or four years. If the age is not enough, it can't be passed off as genuine."
Li Ye was surprised, only then did he know that faking is also divided into grades. The many "imitation antiques" he had seen in his previous life were simply not in the mainstream.
Or rather, things that are truly passed off as genuine won't fall into the eyes of ordinary people. If someone spends several years making something, can they sell it to a fool?
Fools deserve to use machine-made products.
After Li Ye understood, he pointed to the carved Taishi chair and said, "Then what was the idea of saying just now that you want to use a machine to make this kind of chair?"
Wei Jiaxian said, "It's just selling imitations at a marked price. I see that many new-style furniture can make money now. There's no reason why the old generation's things can't make money."
"He wants to open a furniture factory," Tan Min said on the side, "I don't know what he's thinking. He just lived a few comfortable days and he's not satisfied. You still want to be a big boss?"
"Even if I want to be a big boss, it's for your nephew,"
Wei Jiaxian was finally forced to show a little anger, and said angrily, "How much money do I spend a month? Who am I making money for? If you keep pestering me, I'll have all three kids go get their heads shaved next January."
"You dare!!!"
Tan Min jumped up directly. Having three nephews shave their heads, is this going to anger him, the uncle, to death?
Wei Jiaxian snorted: "You, a Party member, don't you believe in those old thoughts? What's wrong? Scared?"
Tan Min started rolling up his sleeves: "I'll let you know what fear is!"
"Hey hey hey, you two, that's enough! The wind is tight recently. If anyone moves their fists, the Joint Defense Team is on the south street!"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng saw that the brother-in-law and brother-in-law were about to make a scene, so he quickly ended the melon-eating behavior and asked the two, "I'll ask you something. Has anyone from our Qingshui County come to find Chen Jinhua recently?"
Wei Jiaxian and Tan Min calmed down, thought for a while, and shook their heads.
"No one came? Did they really go venture into the world? Okay, they have guts!"
Li Ye was quite surprised because he had seen Jiang Xiaoning twice and felt he didn't have that much courage.
And Jiang Xiaoning's brother-in-law, Zhou Qiangshun, is a habitual thief. This time, being pressed tightly by the wind, it was said that he went out to venture with Jiang Xiaoning, but in all likelihood, he should have come to the capital to "hide from the wind."
However, since the two young men are skilled and bold, it has nothing to do with Li Ye.
Li Ye has a friendship with Jiang Xiaoyan and feels that Chen Jinhua is also okay. He doesn't want her and her mother to get involved in the crime of harboring. As for whether Jiang Xiaoning will be unlucky following his brother-in-law, it has nothing to do with him.
However, just as Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng were about to leave, Wei Jiaxian suddenly said, "A few days ago, Sister Chen told Uncle Old Song that she always gets up early every morning, delaying everyone in the courtyard from sleeping, so she moved to the west courtyard to live. We didn't notice what kind of people were added to her family."
"Hmm?"
Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked at each other, feeling that things were as expected.
The west courtyard is very dilapidated. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng didn't like it at all at first. Later, for Old Song and others to pile up sundries, he bought it for a few thousand yuan.
After Li Ye went in, he found that it was almost impossible for people to live here. However, two dogs were raised, barking at Li Ye and the other.
The two followed the traces on the ground and walked to the door of a dilapidated house at the same time.
There was a lock on the door, but there was no dust on the lock, obviously it was opened and closed frequently.
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng turned around, found a brick, and smashed the lock open in two or three strokes.
"Who?"
There was indeed someone in the room.
One of them, cowering, was Jiang Xiaoyan's younger brother, Jiang Xiaoning. The other young man was in his twenties, 1.78 meters tall, with a dignified appearance, holding a stick in his hand. It should be Zhou Qiangshun.
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's eyes condensed, he stretched out two fingers and pointed at the young man: "Put down the stick."
The young man felt Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's pressure but didn't put down the stick, instead, his eyes shifted to the window.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoning reacted and hurriedly said, "Big brother, this is one of our own, it's my sister's classmate, don't let the flood wash away the Dragon King Temple."
Zhou Qiangshun then sat on the bed next to him, put the stick not far from his hand, and looked at Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng vigilantly.
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng immediately wanted to give Zhou Qiangshun some color, but Li Ye asked Jiang Xiaoning: "Why do you lock the door in broad daylight? The neighbors said a thief entered the room, and we didn't believe it!"
Jiang Xiaoning said nervously, "My mother said the streets are not peaceful recently, so she didn't let us go out to play, so she locked us up."
Li Ye asked again: "Then you came to the capital, does your sister know?"
Jiang Xiaoning didn't answer, obviously Jiang Xiaoyan didn't know.
Li Ye smiled: "Then you came all the way to the capital just to drink in the room all day?"
There was a table in the room, with two noodle bowls, two empty plates, and a bottle of white wine that was almost bottomed out.
Jiang Xiaoning smiled awkwardly: "Nothing much, there's food and drink..."
Zhou Qiangshun on the side suddenly said: "Two meals a day, is that called having food and drink? Your mother is too unsophisticated. I am a guest of your family after all..."
Jiang Xiaoning was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak. Chen Jinhua's noodle shop has to open during the day and close at eight or nine in the evening. Isn't that just two meals a day?
Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng exchanged glances and said with a smile, "Brother Peng, go buy some food. Since guests have arrived at our place, we can't neglect them."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng nodded and left, but Zhou Qiangshun rushed to go out: "I'll just go buy it. Although I'm a guest of the Jiang family, I won't eat for free. I have money."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng looked at Li Ye and pursed his lips at Zhou Qiangshun, obviously asking Li Ye whether to take this guy down.
But Li Ye shook his head slowly.
Jiang Xiaoning was very uncomfortable and muttered in a low voice, "How can we let guests spend money? What kind of thing is this?"
But an hour later, Jiang Xiaoning couldn't mutter anymore.
Because it was dark, but Zhou Qiangshun didn't come back.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Xiaoyan dragged her own mother back in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the gate, Jiang Xiaoyan shouted: "Xiaoning, where is that thief?"
Chen Jinhua said anxiously: "Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense, it's a relative!"
Jiang Xiaoyan said angrily: "Relative my ass. If Li Ye hadn't found me today, I would still be kept in the dark by you all. I asked you eight times before you told the truth. Our family doesn't recognize this kind of relative."
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down," Chen Jinhua pulled Jiang Xiaoyan and said anxiously: "He was wronged, he was just staying here, he even said yesterday he was going to leave, but after he left, your brother's partner wouldn't be ruined... uh..."
Chen Jinhua saw Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and was suddenly embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Recently, Li Ye and Li Yue often went to her noodle shop to visit, but they didn't teach her less about the law. But when it came to her son's lifelong event, Chen Jinhua still had a compassionate heart.
Jiang Xiaoyan also felt very uncomfortable. Li Ye had helped her countless times since the Second Grain Store, and now he still has to worry for her.
What is he trying to get?
"I'm sorry Li Ye, I just found out the truth... I'll have them go surrender now."
"Surrender what! I didn't steal or rob. Besides, big brother didn't want to implicate us, he dared to act and dared to take responsibility, he left by himself."
Jiang Xiaoning was unwilling, while loudly expressing resistance, he secretly glanced at Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng.
He felt that Zhou Qiangshun was scared away by Li Ye and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng.
"Left?"
Jiang Xiaoyan was stunned and looked at Li Ye.
Li Ye said: "Eighty percent left. You should have Auntie check the house to see if anything is missing!"
"What? You... what do you think of my big brother?"
Jiang Xiaoning jumped three feet high, his face red and his neck thick, shouting: "He is a chivalrous thief, do you know Yanzi Li San? Robbing the rich to help the poor, not stealing from small households."
Chen Jinhua also said repeatedly: "Can't be, can't be, that kid doesn't look like a thief at all..."
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Li Ye and suddenly pulled Chen Jinhua to another room: "Oh, mother, let you check, just check, what are you dawdling about!"
Jiang Xiaoning looked at Li Ye angrily, wanting to shout a few words, but he was a coward and didn't dare.
"Heaven-killing, who stole my money! Two thousand five hundred yuan! I hid it under the brick seam, even the mice couldn't find it... wuwuwuwu~"
Chen Jinhua's crying sounded like a life-taking sound transmitted through the gates of hell, scaring Jiang Xiaoning pale.
He knew his mother had money and had been pestering her these days to get some money, but Chen Jinhua only provided food and didn't give a cent.
Zhou Qiangshun also discussed with Jiang Xiaoning at night how much money Chen Jinhua had, which made Jiang Xiaoning feel strange.
He felt he was the son, and Chen Jinhua's money was his money, so it was only natural to spend it.
But now suddenly hearing the number two thousand five hundred yuan, Jiang Xiaoning only felt... this money is not money, this is his life.
Chen Jinhua ran in like crazy, grabbed Jiang Xiaoning by the collar, and said viciously: "Speak, where did the money go? Did you take it?"
Jiang Xiaoning said aggrievedly: "Mother, you lock us up every day when you go out, and you sleep in the room when you come back at night, how can I steal money?"
"You're still not honest, still not honest."
Jiang Xiaoyan searched for a tool, picked up the stick, and was about to take action, obviously really angry.
Li Ye hurriedly said: "It's probably not your brother who stole it, you come here and look."
Li Ye led Jiang Xiaoyan to the window, pushed the window open, and pointed to the subtle footprints on the windowsill.
It's not strange that the window can be opened, but there is a brand-new bolt outside this window, obviously newly installed, probably to prevent Jiang Xiaoning and Zhou Qiangshun from going out.
Sure enough, Chen Jinhua exclaimed: "I had Old Song brother ram this bolt to death, how could it be opened?"
Li Ye pointed to the footprints and said: "Size 43 Liberation shoes, whose do you think they are?"
Chen Jinhua was stunned, tears streaming down: "What kind of bad luck is this, how did I get involved with such a relative! I get up early and work late every day, it's all earned for others..."
Jiang Xiaoyan finally swung the stick, making Jiang Xiaoning howl.
Jiang Xiaoning jumped around the room crying, but Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Li Ye stood side by side at the door, leaving him no way to heaven and no way to earth.
"Mother, mother, I'm going to be beaten to death!"
"Beat, beat to death, if you're beaten to death, I'll pretend I didn't give birth to this disaster."
There is a third chapter today, but it is estimated to be close to one o'clock. Book friends who are used to going to bed early can get up tomorrow morning to read it.
