Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: Xibao Enters the Capital 2

Gold, after finishing his work the second day, purposely took the bus here to ask the neighbors for detailed information.

He was almost shocked out of his last few teeth when he learned that the house next to the courtyard was home to Lu Jiang of the Viva Army and his family, who often interacted with the courtyard, unlike other families who steered clear of Zhumen Courtyard.

The surname Lu, it was almost certain now.

What surprised him was not this; he knew he recognized the right person when he saw Feng Qingxue, but it was Lu Jiang’s status that amazed him.

"Commander, commander, becoming a commander so young, remarkable, remarkable, truly a descendant of our old granny," mumbled Gold, content with just knowing who it was, he had no intention of connecting with them right now, "Maybe it truly is the blessing of our ancestors, I just came to see the old house that changed hands many times already, and surprisingly fulfilled my own wish, finding the person I was looking for."

A few days later, he still couldn’t suppress his excitement, and one evening he found time to visit Joe. In the icy and snowy weather, the cesspool was sealed, no foul smell spread through the air, and the two old men enjoyed some expensive pork head meat from the black market along with some liquor, very nourished.

"Do you remember the couple you introduced who came to trade with me?" Gold was the first to speak.

Joe thought for a moment, "I remember, that couple was young and sincere, the grain and other stuff they gave were also generous, not the kind to haggle over every ounce. Back then, I exchanged a gold bar for just a few kilograms of coarse grains, they gave several times more, really would like to trade with them again. I remember you said they were descendants of your great-aunt, what a coincidence."

"No coincidence, no story!" Gold took a sip of his drink, "This is kinship, prompting us to meet among the vast crowd."

Joe nodded and chuckled, "You are alone, without descendants, finding relatives so many generations apart is also a kind of fate, pity they only left you a surname, didn’t even show you their face."

Gold didn’t admit he already knew who it was, as he didn’t want to bring trouble and danger to the Lu Family, instead, he glanced slyly at Joe, "What about you, having descendants spread far and wide, yet they have all broken ties with you, aren’t you still fallen like me?"

"So what if relations are broken off? Doesn’t it mean Joe’s children aren’t born from my own flesh and blood? They still have to pass down my surname Joe, they can’t escape from their bloodline, can they? I’ve experienced all kinds of things in my life, I’ve long since come to terms with it." Joe laughed confidently, "Old Seven, you better live well, just wait and see, if I can live a bit longer, until the time when gold, silver, gems, and antiques can make a comeback, relying on the treasures I possess, I will have a gaggle of filial sons and grandsons to look after me in my old age."

Gold was taken aback, "You’re talking about those children of yours who broke off relations?"

"Of course, who else? When I wasn’t down on my luck, they began scheming over my family property, trying to please me, wanting to inherit more, time won’t change their inherent nature. So, I must live well, through the ages dynasties have changed frequently, but the value of gems and antiques has never diminished, even if they fall into a low point for a time, they will eventually soar high again," Joe said.

After hearing Joe’s words, Gold seemed reflective and didn’t speak for a long time.

"Why aren’t you speaking?" Joe asked.

Gold replied, "I was thinking, in the black market gold is most desired, maybe in the future I should use gold to exchange for grain, stash the jewels and antiques for now, maybe they could be given to the descendants of our great-aunt, better than selling them cheap to strangers."
