After some thought, Qin Yi walked out and said,"
"Big sister, don't be afraid. We're from the supply and marketing cooperative. You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to check at any time. We work there. We're here on behalf of the supply and marketing cooperative.
His goal was to purchase some old items and hand them over to the city. Because these can be studied and can promote the development of our Guo Jia culture.
This is a good thing for the country, so I want to ask if you have these things at home? You see, at this time, eating and wearing warm clothes are the most important. These things are basically worldly possessions. If you have these old items at home, you can take them out and exchange them for money.
Don't worry, the price won't be less than you. It's as much as you say.”
Hearing Qin Yi's words, the woman calmed down a little. After a moment, she could not help but ask,"Do you really accept such things?"
"Of course." Qin Yi smiled. We're from the supply and marketing cooperative, so we won't ruin our jobs, right? We even went to the county to turn in some today.”
The woman stared at the two of them back and forth. After hesitating for a moment, she said,
"Then wait a moment."
With that, she brought the two children in.
Qin Yi and Jiang Peng were not in a hurry and waited outside.
"Brother, you're the one with the solution." Jiang Peng laughed.”
"That's normal. Everyone has their own worries." Qin Yi smiled. Even my family would be worried about this. It's good that you've said it out loud."
Soon, the woman walked out with a brush holder.
"This is a pen holder that my husband brought from the old house over there. I don't know what it looks like either. But I heard from my husband that it seems to be made of pear wood.”
Qin Yi took it over and took a look. He didn't understand this thing, but the lines were indeed very beautiful. Jiang Peng didn't understand either.
"If you sell it like this, will your husband agree?" Qin Yi asked. Although we accept things, we won't bring any trouble to your family. Otherwise, if you sell it to me, your husband will scold you later.”
The woman shook her head." No, we need some money recently. How much do you want for this brush holder?"”
"Big sister, name your price.”
As soon as he said this, Jiang Peng kept winking at Qin Yi.
What was the meaning of this? If the other party demanded an exorbitant price, would you really give it to him?
The woman thought for a moment and said hesitantly,"Then give me two, twenty yuan?”
"What? This thing is 20 yuan? He still didn't know if this thing was real or fake.”Before Qin Yi could speak, Jiang Peng exclaimed.
A palm-sized pen holder cost 20 yuan. Did he think it was made of gold?
The woman also felt that the price seemed to be too high, so she said weakly,"If you don't want to give me 10 yuan, that's fine too."
Qin Yi pretended to reach into his pocket and took out two large unity notes from his space. He then placed them in the woman's hands.
"Just 20 yuan. A thousand gold can't buy a good heart. If you have anything good here, take it out. We still have to go to other places to collect them."
Money was not a problem for him at all. As long as he exchanged it with Zhao Xinyu, he could make a fortune. Therefore, there was no need to fuss over anything with the seller who had a difficult life.
However, the reason why he gave it directly was because he didn't care if it was real or fake. He just wanted to see if this woman would take out something better.
This was called throwing bricks to attract jade!
Jiang Peng, who was at the side, felt a little heartache. He didn't expect this small thing to be sold for 20 yuan.
Similarly, the woman did not expect the other party to give her 20 yuan so easily without bargaining.
He immediately put away the money excitedly."Then wait a moment. I think I have a few more at home. So I quickly ran inside."
Seeing the woman enter, Jiang Peng whispered to Qin Yi,"
"Why don't you lower the price? 10 yuan is fine. 10 yuan is too high for me."
However, at this moment, a loud voice came from behind them.
"Who are you? What are you doing in front of my house?"
Qin Yi and Jiang Peng looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt, army green pants, and shoes staring at them warily.
At this moment, the man saw the pen holder in Jiang Peng's hand and immediately said angrily,
"You thief, how dare you steal from my house!”
With a roar, he rushed forward and wanted to take it back, but Jiang Peng immediately reacted and quickly retreated. At the same time, he placed the pen holder on his back and pushed it back.
"Steal my ass! This was taken back from this family's house! Are you the head of this household?”
Perhaps the commotion outside had attracted the attention of the woman inside. She hurriedly ran out with a box in her hand.
When she saw her husband who almost fought with her, the woman quickly stopped him.
"Guofu, don't attack! I was the one who sold that thing to them."
Lin Guofu was about to say something when he suddenly saw the thing in his wife's hand. His eyes widened and he hurriedly snatched it over.
"What are you going to do with this?"
The woman did not want to say anything in front of outsiders, so she quickly said to them,"Please wait a moment."
As she spoke, she pulled her husband back to her room.
In the room, the woman said coldly to her husband,""Mom has been in the hospital for two days. The family's money has already been transferred. What do you think we should do?
I offered 20 yuan for the pen holder, but the other party accepted it without bargaining. You know, it's already good enough to sell this thing for 5 yuan. It meant that the other party sincerely wanted it.
So I took these things out.
Now, when those relatives and friends saw you, they knew that they wanted to borrow money as if they had seen a ghost. Do you have money? Where did he get the money?
Lin Guofu, I know you value these things. But it's up to you.
If you want Mom to be well, you have to exchange these things for money. Otherwise, you can do as you please. I don't want the two children to starve with us.”
"Mother, I didn't mean that. He just didn't want to sell this thing cheaply! These things are passed down from generation to generation. If my dad finds out that we sold them, he'll definitely be angry.”
"Lin Guofu! Do you think our mother's life is cheaper than these things?？”
"We're so poor that we can't even boil a pot," the woman said angrily. You're still thinking about these useless things. Our dad was the same, stubborn all his life! Because these things had become like that, and they still didn't learn their lesson!”
Lin Guofu sighed and opened the sandalwood box in his hand.
There was a pair of jade green bracelets inside. They were passed down from his ancestors.
At that time, this pair of jade bracelets would cost more than ten thousand taels of silver. This was something his father had risked his life to hide. He had sacrificed most of his family's wealth to keep this thing.
Was he going to sell it now?
"Give it to me."
An old voice came from outside. Lin Guofu and his wife couldn't help but look outside.
An old man was already standing at the door. His figure was a little hunched.
"Dad, why are you here?" The woman quickly helped the old man in. She secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The old man waved his hand, then looked at his son and took the wooden box from his hand. Then, he looked at his daughter-in-law and said,
"First wife, you're right. Thank you for your hard work. These things were all worldly possessions. Life was the most important. I originally wanted to pass this pair of things on to you for generations to come, but now I can only change it.”
Then, he took the box and walked outside to look at Qin Yi and the other two.""Take a look at this pair of jade bracelets. How much are you offering?"
