Chapter 4 I’ll give you a discount next time

She wanted to destroy Li Xiujun, but she didn't expect that she would end up harming herself instead.

Meeting Su Wanru's gaze, Li Xiujun realized that her "best friend" had been wishing for her to die.

It's ridiculous that in her previous life she treated people with all her heart!

Mother Li didn't care about greeting the guests, so she dragged Su Wanru into the house and used a feather duster to greet her.

"Tell me! What happened to that man!"

"I didn't! Stop hitting me! It hurts!"

The sound of crying in the back room was loud. Li Xiujun smiled coldly and left the Li family. She had avenged the humiliation in her previous life. She still had the revenge of her death. The days were still long. They could settle the matter slowly...

When I got home, grandpa had already prepared the meal.

"Grandpa, you have done the math. You have to go to Beijing in a few days. The money is stored in the red tin jar at the foot of the cabinet. It is enough for you to go to college for four years."

"There are still a few acres of land in the countryside. Grandpa has sold it. The buyer will send the money in a few days. You can save a small amount for emergencies."

"Grandpa won't be with you from now on, you have to take care of yourself."

Li Xiujun put down his chopsticks and threw himself into his grandfather's arms, his eyes red: "Grandpa, don't say that, I'm afraid."

It was clear that nothing had happened to her in this life, so why did grandpa still act like he had to explain his funeral arrangements?

"Grandpa, are you hiding something from me?"

"Grandpa just can't let you go."

His rough hands stroked the top of her hair, and grandpa wiped away the muddy tears without leaving a trace.

"Okay, if you don't eat, you're going to get cold."

Picking up the bowls and chopsticks again, Li Xiujun looked at her grandfather with a worried look. In her previous life, her grandfather passed away not long after she got married. The age of 86 was regarded as a happy funeral.

She thought that grandpa left because he was exhausted mentally and physically from her work, and did not investigate the reason in detail. Now it seems that grandpa may have had a physical problem for a long time, so he did not tell her because he was afraid of worrying her.

After dinner, Li Xiujun waited for her grandfather to fall asleep and lit a kerosene lamp secretly. She took out the jade piece from her pocket and carved it according to the texture. After half a night, she carved it and polished it with fine sandpaper before it was finished.

It was getting dark, so Li Xiujun blew out the lamp and lay down in her clothes for a while. Her mind was in a mess, and she was dreaming about her past life. When she woke up, her pillow towel was soaked through.

No matter what happens, she wants to make more money. Sometimes money can save her life.

Li Xiujun rushed to the teahouse she had arranged with Uncle Gu San early with her plum blossom jade in her arms. When she arrived, Gu Qingming was already there, having ordered Longjing tea and a table of exquisite refreshments.

"Have you had breakfast? If not, please make up your mind first."

Li Xiujun took out the jade from his pocket and handed it over, then took a piece of red bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Qingming held the jade in his hands and played with it in the sunshine. The ancient jade from the Han Dynasty was warm and moist. The jade as big as a pigeon egg was carved into the shape of a plum blossom, and the green jade meandered through it to form a stamen, which was elegant and beautiful.

Good eyesight and good craftsmanship!

Gu Qingming put down Yujue and carefully looked at the girl in front of her, who was no more than ten years old. She had a palm-sized face, fair skin, and big eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist and sparkling, implying aura. Two braids were pinned to her head.

Behind the ears, simple and attractive.

"How old are you? Your craftsmanship is even more exquisite than the old master's."

If it weren't for the poor polishing, he might not be able to buy this jade with the money he brought today.

Li Xiujun swallowed the red bean cake and replied: "Nineteen."

"Studying? Or working in a factory?"

As he asked, Gu Qingming took out three hundred yuan and handed it to her from under the table while covering it up.

Li Xiujun glanced at three large bills with watery eyes and quickly pushed them back.

"One piece is enough."

They agreed, she only wants one.

Gu Qingming insisted on giving it, but Li Xiujun insisted on not giving it. During the rejection, their hands overlapped and their generous palms tightly wrapped hers. Li Xiujun's face felt hot and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Drinking tea to cover his face with flying red clouds, this Uncle Gu is really stupid and rich. Fortunately, he met her, otherwise he would have opened his mouth and deceived him completely.

Gu Qingming looked at her with a smile, with a hint of distress in his beautiful eyebrows. He just touched the small cut on her hand, and he didn't know if it was injured by carving or doing work at home.

"You're such an interesting girl. I've never seen anyone push away the money they got."

He stood up and walked to Li Xiujun, covering it with his body, stuffing three large bills into her pocket and not allowing her to take them out again.

"I like this ornament. If I think it's worth the price, I'll give it the price. Don't push it and let others see it."

Li Xiujun didn't argue anymore, and said calmly with a blushing face, "Okay, I'll give you a discount next time."

"I thought you were stupid, but it turned out you were trying to keep me as a big customer."

Returning to her seat, Gu Qingming refilled her tea: "You just said you wanted to go to college. Where did you take the exam?"

"Kyoto University."

Li Xiujun knew that Uncle Gu was also from Peking University, and he was inexplicably friendly. In this life, she was his legitimate junior sister.

Sure enough, Gu Qingming smiled: "Hello, junior fellow student, if you have any questions after arriving at Beijing University, you can contact me." He wrote down a phone number and handed it over.

Li Xiujun smiled and thanked him. After eating snacks and drinking tea, he put the three hundred yuan in his pocket for fear of losing it.

When I rushed home, the sun was high in the sky, and I heard shouting from her house in the distance. When I saw her coming back, my neighbor's aunt came running over.

"Girl Jun, go and see your grandpa quickly. He suddenly vomited blood and fainted!"

"What!"

Li Xiujun panicked and ran towards home, swinging her pigtails. The town doctor had already arrived and was auscultating the unconscious grandfather.

"Doctor, what happened to my grandfather?"

The old doctor's hair was gray and he sighed: "I told him a long time ago to let him go to the city to take a film. The old man worked in a fiber factory in the early years and injured his lungs. He heard the sound of gongs. I'm afraid the situation is not good.

.”

With his heart sinking, Li Xiujun asked with a trembling voice: "What kind of disease do you think this is?"

"The risk of lung cancer depends on whether it is malignant or benign."

The old doctor left a bottle of medicine behind, and Li Xiujun forced himself to thank the neighbors who sent him away for help. The moment he closed the door, tears fell down his cheeks.

It turns out that her grandfather has been ill for a long time, and she has been reluctant to spend money on treatment in order to support her education. This is because she has been stuck in her own affairs in her previous life and did not care enough about her grandfather. Fortunately, she knows now and hopes that it is not too late.

After pouring hot water to wipe away the blood on her grandfather's lips and neck, Li Xiujun held her grandfather's rough hands. Her parents died in the turmoil, and she and her grandfather depended on each other. It was these hands that pulled her baby, which had never reached knee height.

Become a big girl.

"Why are you crying? Grandpa is fine."

The old man woke up and wiped away the tears from the corners of his granddaughter's eyes distressedly: "I am just afraid that you will be bullied if you are left alone."

His granddaughter was good-looking and had a simple temper. He knew that he didn't have much time left. He still couldn't feel relieved after explaining his funeral arrangements yesterday, so he went to the neighborhood committee and made the call he thought he would never make again in his life.
