Chapter 124: Chapter 124: From Calamity Star to Lucky Star, The Change is as Different as Heaven and Earth The Lian Family had withheld two vegetable greenhouses in total, each of which was as large as an acre. The vegetables there were growing vigorously, and due to good care, the baby bok choy, spinach, and green onions had already hit the market. Cucumbers and tomatoes were also almost ready to be picked. In these days, the Gu Family’s dining table was always graced with fresh vegetables. When Gu Tianfeng insisted on paying, it upset grandma so much that she cried, and only then did Gu Tianfeng relent. Meanwhile, the small vegetables that Xiao Bai shipped directly to the provincial city were warmly welcomed by the Luo Family’s Hotel manager, who would have been thrilled even without Luo Fan’s reminders. You should know, there were others who had greenhouses as well, but few were as proper. ... Moreover, the demand far exceeded supply. Therefore, few were able to buy it, and now was the time when the green in the North was not yet ready for harvest, so these fresh, vibrant, and tender vegetables naturally became very popular. So, the return was naturally substantial. After selling the small vegetables for half a month, they actually brought in a few thousand yuan, something the Lian Family could never have dreamed of, so everyone was even more motivated. Gu Qiaoqiao felt that after selling all the vegetables from the two greenhouses, grandma’s family could definitely pay off their debt. Even after subtracting the cost, they would probably make a few thousand yuan, maybe even becoming the first family in the village to earn tens of thousands of yuan. Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao suggested that the two brothers should discuss how to cooperate in advance; after all, while they got along well as brothers, there was still an aunt by marriage to consider. And, blood brothers should settle their accounts clearly. Only with clear accounts would the shared profits be evident at a glance. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t return until after eating lunch. Now, the aunt by marriage was extremely affectionate towards her, repeatedly saying that Gu Qiaoqiao was the Lian Family’s lucky star. This made Gu Qiaoqiao feel a bitter and indescribably sour sentiment in her heart. From being seen as bringing disaster to becoming a lucky star, the change was like that between heaven and earth. But it was also the distance between two lifetimes. Xiao Bai escorted Gu Qiaoqiao home, carrying a basket of vegetables on his back and sharing his plans with her along the way. And Gu Qiaoqiao, in return, shared with Xiao Bai all the information she found appropriate, hoping to broaden his horizons and help him think more long-term. Because the policies these days were favorable, the opportunities to make great strides were plenty. It’s said that with hard work, one can become rich, and under the current backdrop, as long as one is willing to work, life would get better day by day. Ever since Gu Tianfeng’s incident, Xiao Bai had come over to the Gu Family’s place to check on them almost every other day. They too were terribly shocked. But they had only received the news after Gu Tianfeng was out of danger. Still, they remained deeply unnerved. Gu Qiaoqiao thought that Qin Yize and Zhou Xing’s analysis were quite similar; the mastermind behind the scenes definitely wouldn’t dare to make another move now, in defiance of the wind. Because the police were just waiting for them to show their faces. Even if it weren’t a case that garnered the attention of Elder Luo and the Qin Family, just the act of impersonating a police officer and tarnishing the reputation was enough for the police in Qingshui County to take it very seriously. It’s said that the new leader in Qingshui County was also extremely concerned, having issued orders that the case must be solved as quickly as possible. Not to mention, several other important figures were paying attention as well. Gu Qiaoqiao recalled all the incidents that had happened in her previous life, and it seemed that Gu Tianfeng’s death was the most tragic. He was also the first member of the Gu Family to die. Gu Qiaoqiao had a feeling that her father was the main target of their opponents. Just like in this life, if it hadn’t been for timely intervention from all sides, the allegation that Gu Tianfeng committed suicide out of guilt could have been established. But nominally, just like in the previous life, it was an accident. Gu Qiaoqiao analyzed that they had a backup plan to perfectly resolve the issue of the fake police officer’s identity, or perhaps they had other methods to deceive the public. Only, they hadn’t expected their plan to be so quickly foiled before it was fully implemented. Therefore, the two people who blew up the car ran away. For a short period, they wouldn’t take any action. Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao could now easily sense the safety of her family members and, after this incident, the members of the Gu Family had heightened their own vigilance at her insistence. That was perfectly normal. After all, Zhou Xing and Tian Hai, along with her younger uncle, often visited the Gu Family. This too was an intangible assurance of safety. Although Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t be completely at ease, she knew she couldn’t stay by her family’s side every moment for the rest of her life. That was unrealistic. Therefore, encouraging the Gu Family to be prepared rather than complacent wasn’t a bad thing. Especially since Gu Tianfeng had developed a psychological shadow, he had carried his drinking cup in his pocket for a while at school. Fortunately, it was the thermos that Gu Qiaoqiao had bought for him in the provincial capital. Any other cup would have been inconvenient. After considering all the possibilities, Gu Qiaoqiao felt she could leave. Besides, she could always stay in touch by phone when it was convenient. All was ready except for the east wind, and this east wind was the tools for processing Gold Jade Stone. All of these were Jade Rough Stones, which required gradual cutting to reveal their true nature. Gu Qiaoqiao definitely wasn’t planning to kill the goose that laid the golden eggs. The gold nugget was indeed valuable, but if it was intertwined with jade, it was even more valuable. Hence, she urgently needed the tools. But the only jade that Gu Qiaoqiao in her previous life had ever carved was Roaring Tiger Forest. That piece of jade didn’t require cutting; its natural shape was already exquisitely lifelike. All it needed was a carving knife for the details. At that time, Qin Yize didn’t need the jade inside; what he wanted was the whole stone’s shape. So Gu Qiaoqiao had no experience with cutting and hadn’t seen machines for cutting jade. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, her grandfather had told her how people in ancient times disassembled jade. After all, the precious and exquisite jade carvings of nowadays almost all come from the times when there were no jade-cutting machines. In the Song Dynasty, there was a tool similar to a saw, also called a “bow,” made from sturdy bamboo with an iron wire as the cutting string. Several iron wires were twisted into a hawser, and while cutting jade, abrasive jade sand was added to the string while continuously sprinkling water, slowly grinding open the jade material. There were also some other auxiliary handcrafted tools. Grandfather said, back then, jade was cut and carved with heart, endowing it with spirituality, unlike the more lifeless, though flashy, works of today. Of course, her grandfather had also never seen any cutting machines, but such machines should already exist now. Yet Gu Qiaoqiao truly hadn’t seen any. She thought she might as well call Luo Fan—he had great abilities, knew many people, and might know where to buy a jade-cutting machine. If Luo Fan didn’t know, then she would have to resort to traditional methods. Using an iron saw directly. This didn’t require prior preparation. Border City was a forested area, and many locals had plenty of large and small saws. She knew how to use them too. Since heating there still relied on wood. Every household considered axes and iron saws essential for daily life. If all else failed, she would use the iron saw directly. Having thought this through, Gu Qiaoqiao no longer worried. She casually called Luo Fan, mainly to let him know she was preparing to go to Qin Yize’s place and that communicating in the future might not be as convenient.
