224, the Vicious Female Supporting Role and Her Godfather

"Who are you looking for?"

As you can tell from the name of Chujiaao, the surname Chu is a common surname here. There are only a few people with foreign surnames living in this area. In order to gain a foothold in the local area, most of those with foreign surnames also marry people with the Chu surname in the village. Therefore, this area They are all related to each other. When a stranger appears in the village, it is easy to attract alert eyes.

No, before the two people dressed as travel companions entered the village, they were stopped by Chucun people working in the fields.

"Uncle, we are here to travel. I think the environment in your village is really good. I wonder if there are any places for accommodation and food. We would like to stay here for a few days."

The location of Chujia'ao is not good. It is two or three hours' drive from the nearest county seat. There are not many buses here, only five every day. It is really not easy to go to the county seat.

However, such a remote mountain village also has its own advantages, that is, there are no factories, the environment is good, and the sky is blue and the water is clear. Nowadays, people in the city like to return to nature. During the peak tourist season, the farmhouse business in the village is still very good, but it is not just for fun. They are all from surrounding cities. After all, this is not a place of interest. Apart from the scenery, there is nothing interesting.

So after listening to what the two travel friends said, the vigilant eyes of the villagers relaxed and smiles appeared on their lips.

"You're just here to have fun, right? You've come to the right place. We have nice scenery and good people here."

The middle-aged man smiled. His son was smart and was the first to open a B&B in the village. Business was good during the peak season, but in the off-season it was difficult to accommodate. Two guests came today, and they stayed overnight. It costs 120 yuan to feed two people, which is 240 yuan for two people. In terms of the income of the villagers, this is a big business.

He called the woman who was working in another field and asked her to take the two guests home quickly to see if the guests liked their house.

"Auntie, whose house is that? It's so grand."

Chujiaao is not considered wealthy. Many people still live in bungalows. Occasionally, I see a few small two-story buildings. Most of them are made of donkey dung balls. They look exquisite and elegant on the outside. They are all made of cement inside. There is no furniture.

Of course, it’s not that there aren’t wealthy families. For example, the two of them are pointing to a small western-style building with three floors, covering an area of ​​three to four hundred square meters, and a small garden. It looks like a small palace in the village. The house is full of chickens.

"You said that family is incredible."

When the woman saw the two guests casually pointing to the house that Chu Xianzong, the most promising man in their village, had built for his parents, her face immediately showed color and a little bit of jealousy.

"The son of that family is very promising. He was one of the few college students in our village at first. After graduation, he married his parents to a wife from the city. Later, he opened his own factory and the business grew bigger and bigger. People say that their family is now The old nose is rich."

It is no secret that the Chu family is rich in all the villages. Moreover, Chu Xianzong built roads in the village and ran a primary school. It is still very popular in the village. I always feel that having such a promising person is the pride of the whole village. , I am happy to mention it to people who come to visit the village.

"It's unlucky that you're here. The old couple of the Chu family were picked up by their filial son to enjoy their happiness in the city. Otherwise, if they were at home, I could show you the Chu family's house. Tsk tsk, you can't find it even in the city. Come out with a second house like this.”

In the eyes of the villagers, this house is the best. Not to mention the nearby towns and villages, even in the city, there are no such beautiful and stylish small western-style houses.

"Auntie, don't tell me, I'm from Haishi. Such a small bungalow is rare even in Haishi." The younger of the two tourists boasted.

"Are you from Haishi? What a coincidence. The owner of that bungalow opened a factory in Haishi. His parents often said how grand their son's factory was, with thousands of workers. State officials are respectful when they see their son.”

Upon hearing that these two people were actually from Haishi, the middle-aged woman immediately became energetic.

Everyone in the village knows that the Chu family is rich, but they don’t know how to get rich. After all, they have never been to Haishi. Especially, although they also have the same surname of Chu, they are far from relatives of the Chu Xianzong family. On weekdays, Not close.

The woman's son opened the first farmhouse in the village. The conditions of the family are among the best in Chujia'ao, but compared with Chu Xianzong, they are definitely far behind. Hearing that the people in the village admire Chu Xianzong so much, the woman also feels that Although he is very powerful, I still feel a little unmotivated. I always feel that Chu Xianzong may be powerful, but he is not as good as his parents boasted.

"Auntie, please tell me the name of the company. A few thousand employees is not a small company. If it is really in Haishi, maybe I have heard of it."

Just like normal chatting, the two tourists said with a smile.

"I really can't remember the name of the company. Anyway, it has the character Chu. The boss's name is Chu Xianzong. He is a capable person from our village. Just like his name, he has brought honor to his family's ancestors."

The woman looked at the two of them and didn't have much hope in her heart. Haishi was so big. If everyone knew Chu Xianzong, how powerful he would be.

"Chu Xianzong, are you sure this is the right name?"

The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and asked in surprise.

"What's wrong, young man, do you really know each other?" The woman was startled, thinking that the Chu family's mother-in-law was not bragging. Is her son really that powerful?

"Yes, boss of our company, do you know the market value of our company? It's billions. I can't spend that much money in a lifetime. Let alone such a small western-style building. It won't be difficult to build a dozen more." ”

The man swallowed and seemed to be wondering why he ended up at the boss's house by such a coincidence just for a simple trip.

Similarly, the middle-aged woman also felt that it was too much of a coincidence. After the surprise, her eyes became suspicious, and she looked at the two young men up and down, wondering if this was a liar.

"Auntie, don't believe it. I'll show you the photos I took during our company's annual meeting. They are still in my phone." One of them saw the suspicion on the woman's face and remembered to take out his phone and rummage through the photo album. He quickly found one of the albums named Annual Meeting, opened it and handed it to the woman.

"Is this the Chu Xianzong you are talking about? He is really my boss. There is also this, our boss's wife Gu Anna. The one on the far side is our boss's daughter. The one standing between our boss and the boss's wife is the boss's wife and her ex-husband. A pair of children.”

He enlarged the photo and clearly displayed the faces of the five people in the picture on the screen of his mobile phone.

This photo was taken at last year's annual meeting. At that time, Chu Tianyin had not yet moved out of his home. Although he and Chu Zhixin often had conflicts, they still maintained peace with the outside world.

"He is really the son of the Chu family."

Seeing the photo, the doubts in the woman's heart disappeared. Chu Xianzong had not come back much since he went to the city to go to college. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he usually took the old couple to Haishi. In recent years, he had given I came back when the roads and schools were built in the village, and the Chu family ancestral hall was rebuilt, but this face was clearly remembered by the woman.

"etc."

The woman looked at the photo and frowned: "You said this is your boss's wife. What's her name? Anna Gu?" The more the woman looked at it, the more wrong she became. Isn't this Gu Meifang, the daughter of the Gu family, who passed the exam together with Chu Xianzong? That girl from college.

The Gu family is a foreign surname in the village. Gu Meifang's father married a girl from the Chu family, and she established her foothold in the village.

Their family has many children. In addition to Gu Meifang, they also have two daughters and three sons. Life is hard. At first, because Gu Meifang could read, the whole family tightened their belts and sent her to school alone. The other brothers and sisters finished elementary school. They don’t even think about it anymore, they all come back to farm, or go out to work to support this little sister.

However, since she went to college, Gu Meifang has disappeared from the world. If she hadn't come back with money on time every year, the whole family would have thought she was missing.

In recent years, relying on the money from Gu Meifang, the Gu family has lived a pretty good life. Several brothers have built new houses and married wives. The old couple of the Gu family have also lived a comfortable life, and they have planted some in the ground. With enough vegetables for their own consumption, the couple played mahjong together and visited other houses, which made a group of elderly people in the village envious.

But Gu Meifang and Chu Xianzong are married? I have never heard this mentioned by the Chu family and the Gu family, especially when they were in the village, the two families didn't have much contact with each other. This didn't look like they were in-laws.

"Auntie, you must have admitted your mistake. Our landlady's name is not Gu Meifang."

The two exchanged glances. No wonder they couldn't investigate Anna Gu. It turned out that the other party had changed her name. From the aunt's tone, she hadn't contacted her family for many years. I'm afraid the ID card they found was Fake.

In the early decades, household registration information was not rigorous. It was not difficult to apply for a new ID card if you had some money and some connections. At first, they thought it was because they were not capable enough, but it turned out that they had neglected this point.

"Impossible, I will never admit her wrongly to anyone."

The woman was unhappy. The face in the photo was no different from when she left the village. Except that she was dressed more fashionably, more mature and graceful, and she was completely the same person.

I remember that Gu Meifang was envied by many girls in the village. She looked so good, and her parents and brothers even supported her to study alone. Most importantly, she was close to Chu Xianzong, the most popular girl in their village, so they took the exam together. When I went to college, no one was surprised that the Chu family and the Gu family were definitely going to be related. Later, Chu Xianzong married a girl from the city, and Gu Meifang stopped contacting her family. People in the village wondered if it was because of the former. , I couldn’t think of anything and did something stupid.

If Gu Meifang hadn't sent money to the family in time to prove that she was alive and well, the Gu family would have almost called the Chu family's daughter-in-law from the city when she came to their door.

Even so, when people in the village mentioned Chu Xianzong, they would also mention the name Gu Meifang. How could a woman forget what the other person looked like?

"I didn't expect that after going round and round, these two people came together again."

The woman looked at the photo and muttered, then looked at the young man holding the mobile phone sheepishly: "Can you send me this photo? My son has a WeChat account, please add one, I have to save this photo. , Let’s show it to the old Gu family.”

"Mom." The young man was a little embarrassed: "Our landlady is really not called Gu Meifang, but if you really want a photo, I will send you one when the time comes, but you must not let others know that I gave it to you. When our boss lady becomes unhappy, I will lose my job.”

After thinking for a while, he added: "You don't know how much our boss cares about this new daughter-in-law. Even the two children she brought with her ex-husband are more favored by him than our boss's biological daughter. He gives her whatever she wants. His eldest daughter has hundreds of thousands of pocket money every month. Last time she came to our company, she was carrying a brand-name bag. When our female colleagues in the office checked, they found that she was carrying a bag worth millions of dollars. It was enough to buy a house. You can imagine how much our boss cares about this new daughter-in-law. If she is determined to deal with me, I will have a hard time."

"Don't worry, I promise not to tell."

The woman looked at his sad face and made repeated assurances, while taking a few breaths of cold air in her heart.

The people in their family are all hardworking. She and her husband farm, her son runs a farmhouse, and they go to the town to find some odd jobs during the off-season. Over the years, they have saved only a few hundred thousand yuan. But from what the man in front of him said, Chu Xianzong gave his stepdaughter hundreds of thousands of yuan, and bought a bag for millions of yuan. What kind of concept is that? Bags made of gold are not that expensive.

The woman had a clear idea of ​​Chu Xianzong's wealth, and at the same time, she had new ideas about Gu Anna.

The other party had been married once and had two children with her previous husband. The Gu family was still kept in the dark, especially the fact that the other party remarried with Chu Xianzong. It was unknown whether the Gu family knew about it.

No, no, this matter is very interesting. After settling these two guests, she must go to the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family to have a good chat.

Finally, the two young men looked around the farmhouse of the woman's family. Because they were not very satisfied with the accommodation conditions of the farmhouse, they only had lunch and left. However, before leaving, according to the agreement with the woman, they sent the photo in their mobile phones to the woman's son. After completing this matter, they left the village.

That night, the village immediately became lively. Everyone knew that the daughter of the Gu family who had not returned for more than 20 years had given birth to a pair of children and remarried Chu Xianzong, the wife of the Chu family.

*****

At this time, the Chu family far away in Hai City did not know this news. They were busy purchasing goods for the supermarket and secretly inquired about which channels could get weapons.

Now the two families have little liquidity. It is not easy to get a batch of hot weapons in China. If you are not careful, the whole family will be imprisoned. Therefore, the Chu and Huo families contacted foreign forces and spent hundreds of millions to buy dozens of guns and dozens of boxes of ammunition.

It's not that they don't want to buy more, but buying more will easily attract the attention of foreign forces, and they don't have that much money on hand.

As for the guns/ammunition/powder, Huo Lin brought them back with Chu Zhixin when he went abroad, and they were stored in Chu Zhixin's personal space, otherwise they would not be able to pass the customs.

Because after the end of the world, the original social system will collapse, and banks and the like will no longer exist, so the two families also relied on Runtian to borrow money from the bank and urgently reinforced several large warehouses of Runtian. As for Chu Zhixin's personal space, it has long been filled with materials transferred from Runtian warehouses.

Now all the remaining money in their hands is used to purchase goods, and to transfer goods from Runtian warehouses around Hai City to the large warehouses in Hai City. Others only think that they have made some big moves and have not thought about other places.

They have thought that before the end of the world begins, they must give up some of the goods reserves. After all, at the beginning of the end of the world, the military government can still operate normally. They can generously donate the warehouses that they cannot protect to the government in exchange for their political status at the beginning of the end of the world. As for the goods stored in Chu Zhixin's space and in several reinforced large warehouses in Hai City, they are the capital for their survival in the future.

In a few days, the two families spent money like water. Except for the house under their names, they sold everything that could be sold.

"Let's do it tomorrow."

Chu Xianzong said to the phone, and then the door of the study was knocked.

"Come in." He hung up the call, put on his expression, and said in a deep voice.

"Xianzong, I'm ready for tomorrow's banquet."

Gu Anna pretended to be puzzled and asked: "This is not a big day. It's quite sudden to hold a banquet all of a sudden."

"Why is it not a big day? Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary."

Chu Xianzong smiled. That was the alibi he prepared for himself. How could it not be important?

"Xianzong, I'm so happy."

Gu Anna smiled sweetly. A woman in her forties smiled as brightly and sweetly as a young girl in her twenties.

In an invisible place, the eyes of the two people were instantly obscure. I'm afraid they already knew what would happen tomorrow.

The author has something to say: This little story will be finished tomorrow, and there will be another update in the evening
