Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Yes, you look just like Lao Gao when he was young." Grandpa Liu, who had been shocked for a long time, finally came to his senses.

Gao Jianguo gazed at the old man before him through the dim yellow light of the kerosene lamp.

Indeed, there are some striking resemblances between them.

"Then, then you..." Gao Jianguo wanted to ask him what had happened to cause his demotion, but he couldn't get the words out.

"When you were little, you were kidnapped," Grandpa Gao said, recalling the past. "At that time, I was on the rise, and I guess I was in someone's way. That day, while you were playing in the yard, they went straight in and kidnapped you."

Later, your grandmother, along with your parents, searched everywhere for you. She looked for you for a very, very long time. Even before she passed away, she told me to find you.

As he spoke, Old Master Gao's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

He missed his wife and thought that if he went down to find her now, he would have something to say to her.

"Um, I wanted to ask why you were demoted to a lower-level position?" Gao Jianguo never intended to delve into his childhood.

"Well, the reason I was sent to the countryside was..."

"There are people in the cowshed... Catch them quickly!" He hadn't finished speaking when he heard the commotion outside.

"Hide it quickly," Old Master Gao hurriedly instructed Gao Jianguo.

Gao Jianguo walked directly to the back window and jumped out.

"Stop right there!" Just as he jumped out, a group of people rushed in.

The leader had a fierce look in his eyes, which was quite frightening. When he saw that there were only two elderly people, he looked around with great dissatisfaction.

"Tell me honestly, where are the people from just now?" the leader of the red armbands asked, staring intently at the two.

The two old men were used to this kind of thing and silently lowered their heads, saying nothing more.

They knew these people were just there to cause trouble, and no matter what they said, the result would be the same.

"Search! Search! There's a reward for whoever finds anything." As soon as the foreman gave the order, the lackeys immediately sprang into action.

Not only was the house searched, but the cowshed next door was also searched.

Gao Jianguo jumped out of the window and ran straight to the brigade leader's house.

"Uncle Captain, Uncle Captain, something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened at the cowshed!" Gao Jianguo shouted, banging on the door of Captain Lu's house.

"Jianguo, what happened? Why are you acting so carelessly?" Captain Lu simply threw on a coat and came out.

The families living next to the road captain also peeked out, wanting to hear what was going on.

“Captain, I just saw Little Red Soldier heading towards the cowshed in a very aggressive manner. I was afraid something serious had happened, so I came back to find you,” Gao Jianguo said.

"Let's go take a look together," the road captain called to the nearby neighbors as they walked towards the cowshed.

When they arrived at the cowshed, they saw two old men huddled in a corner, while a group of people wearing red armbands were rummaging around inside.

Even worse, some of the red armband wearers would wake up the resting cows and search for something in the cowshed.

This immediately ignited the anger of the members.

They only had two oxen in their commune, but they were their most precious asset. They relied on those two oxen to pull carts and plow the fields.

Someone said, "Could they be after our commune's cattle? We absolutely cannot let them succeed. We must drive them away."

The commune members picked up stones and sticks from the ground and threw them at the group of people wearing red armbands.

"Captain Lu, what are you doing?" The red-armband leader questioned Captain Lu when he saw his men being beaten by a group of people.

"Well, those guys came to our brigade to steal cattle, and the villagers couldn't stand it anymore," Team Leader Lu said, feigning ignorance.

“Those are people from the Revolutionary Committee, stop hitting them.”

"Splat." The little leader was silenced by cow dung as soon as he finished speaking.

Team Leader Lu: "..." It's alright, it's alright. The aim is decent.

A group of little Red Guards were driven away and scattered.

"You, you just wait. My uncle is the director of the Revolutionary Committee," the petty leader said, spitting out cow dung.

Gao Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief after the person left.

"Go back, all of you go back! Jianguo, come with me to check the cowshed one more time." Seeing that the Revolutionary Committee members had left, Team Leader Lu also dismissed the commune members.

After everyone had left, Gao Jianguo stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, what did you want to see me about?"

"You little rascal, be more careful in the future," Captain Lu said, sounding both reprimanding and admonishing.

"Yes, Uncle."

"Hey, it's getting late, and I have to go to the commune early tomorrow morning. I'm going back now," said Team Leader Lu, seeing that Gao Jianguo had taken his words to heart.

Gao Jianguo walked around the house again before reaching the door and saying, "Everyone's gone, I'm leaving too."

The two elderly people then helped each other to their feet.

When Gao Jianguo returned home, he saw the little girl busy at work.

"Big brother has a fever?" Gao Jianguo asked, looking at the towel on Shang Guohua's head.

"Yes, he has a slight fever." Shang Yanfang said, then touched her brother's forehead.

"Yanfang, sit by the door for a while, let me rub some white wine on my brother and see."

"Okay, then you wipe it." Shang Yanfang had actually thought about wiping the liquor off her older brother, but she gave up when she thought about her own strength.

Now that Gao Jianguo wants to wipe his older brother with baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor), she will definitely agree.

Gao Jianguo took out his own loose liquor, poured it directly into a bowl, and started wiping Shang Guohua.

"Alright, Yanfang, come in." Gao Jianguo was also covered in sweat after wiping his future brother-in-law's clothes.

After Shang Yanfang came in, she first touched her older brother's forehead and found that he was no longer very hot, so she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"I think I just heard a lot of people outside. What happened?" Shang Yanfang asked, staring at the man.

"Just now, the people in red armbands arrived."

"What's wrong? What happened?" Shang Yanfang asked anxiously upon hearing the man's reply.

Gao Jianguo explained the whole story to Shang Yanfang, and only then did Shang Yanfang feel relieved.

Those elderly people are the future of their country.

"So, what did that old man Gao want from you?" Shang Yanfang asked, thinking about the main things that needed to be done today.

"He said he is my grandfather and I am his grandson."

"What? He's your biological grandfather?" Shang Yanfang was also shocked when she heard this news.

"Yes, I do look a bit like him," Gao Jianguo said calmly.

"Then what are you going to do? Are you planning to acknowledge him as your father?" Shang Yanfang asked, staring at the man in front of her.

"I don't know either, let's just get along like this for now!" Gao Jianguo is also confused. He's over twenty years old, and suddenly he has a grandfather, and maybe his parents later.

He's really in a mess right now.

"Let's get along for now, and we'll talk about it later if we get along well!" Shang Yanfang gently smoothed away Gao Jianguo's furrowed brows.
