Chapter 98 Rosewood Furniture for the Whole House

Lin Kushen was also smiling, looking harmless:

"This is a new society now. These pieces of furniture, representing decadent capitalism, are ultimately just a pile of waste. We'll just buy them to make use of their residual heat. Otherwise, in a few years, they'll just be used to burn."

A worker who was carrying furniture nearby laughed and said:

"What's so good about this shabby furniture? Take this bed, for example. It looks beautiful, but who knows how many people have died in it? It's so unlucky to sleep on it. I wouldn't want it even if it were free. I'm telling you, you might as well just build a new bed."

Lin Sanqi's face turned dark when he heard this. This was the bed he was going to sleep on. People in Huadu were superstitious and were very averse to such things.

Lin Kucan didn't care:

"Young people have a lot of temper, but I can calm them down. Besides, hiring someone to make a bed is expensive, both in terms of labor and wood. This money is more than enough to buy a second-hand bed."

The salesperson has also calculated at this time:

"Old comrade, these pieces of furniture are all good quality and are more expensive. The total cost is 310 yuan."

When several staff members heard this, they shook their heads slightly, with expressions of disdain on their faces.

310 yuan is their annual salary. They can't understand why they spend a year's salary to buy a bunch of old furniture. Isn't this stupid?

Lin Sanqi took in the expressions of the staff members, then looked at the admiring expression on the male salesperson's face, and thought that this was the difference in cognition.

Many people criticized Ma Moduo for making money in an unscrupulous way. The antiques he bought for a few dollars appreciated in value to hundreds of millions of dollars after a few decades, which was extremely unethical.

Now the opportunity is in front of these staff members. Are they willing to spend a few dollars to buy a broken table or a broken bottle?

Therefore, the gap in cognition makes these staff members deserve to be poor.

But if it was this male salesperson, with this vision and some financial resources, he would definitely have bought up a large amount of old furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the early days of reform and opening up.

This kind of person is like Ma Modu, who has the opportunity to become a wealthy man of the era. Even if he is not a wealthy man, it will be a piece of cake for him to own a few houses in the capital in the future.

Lin Kucan paid the money readily and gave an extra 2 yuan for travel expenses, asking the trust store to deliver the goods to his door.

When all the furniture was delivered to the princess's house, the neighbors in the yard all came out to watch the fun.

Hou Daya, the youngest monkey, was the first to run out. When she saw the staff lifting the furniture, her face flushed red and she said with disdain:

"Hey, what the hell is this? It's just a table and a few cabinets. Why is it so fussy? You're such a useless man!"

The staff member was so angry that he almost vomited blood and couldn't help but retort:

"Hey, lady, you're really not afraid of back pain when standing. This furniture is really heavy, much heavier than ordinary furniture."

Ji Bird Monkey still disdains:

"Bullshit, you're talking like no one has cabinets or tables. I can lift them with one hand when I'm cleaning. Are you four grown men suffering from kidney deficiency? Hahaha~~"

The people around them also chuckled, mocking the trust store staff.

Matchmaker Wang came from the old society after all. She had visited many wealthy families back then and had some experience:

"I think this furniture is quite special. The carvings of dragons and phoenixes on it look really beautiful. It's a shame it's second-hand."

Ji Bird Monkey snorted disdainfully:

"Doctor Lin is really ruthless. He let his eldest and second sons stay in the main room where they are hospitalized, with all new furniture, and threw the youngest son's house in the back garden. The house is so dilapidated that it looks like it could be blown down by a strong wind.

The furniture they bought was all second-hand. The key point is that this kid Lin hasn't married yet. He's using old furniture now, and I bet he won't get new ones after he gets married. Tell me, how can there be such a big difference between them, even though they have the same parents?

Hearing Ji Niaohou's sarcastic remarks, many neighbors started to talk about it:

"Exactly. Second-hand furniture has been used by others. Who knows how much bad luck and misfortune it has carried..."

"It must be bad luck. After liberation, all the wealthy families back then were ruined. If they were still alive, they wouldn't sell this furniture..."

"If it were me, I'd finally found my youngest son, so I should at least make some new furniture. The Lin family isn't short of money..."

"I guess the money will be left to the eldest and second sons. What a bias..."

"Hey, keep your voice down, the Lin family is coming..."

Lin Sanqi and Lin Kucan were carrying a throne and walking happily across the yard towards the back garden.

Lin Sanqi was in a good mood and didn't forget to say hello: "Hey, you're all taking a break? Why don't you come and help?"

Ji Niaohou rolled his eyes and said in a pitiful tone:

"Hey, kid, your parents are so rich, why are they still buying you old things? If it were me, I would throw it away right now and not stand up to this bullshit!"

Ma Dazhuang, the master of the Debo spirit, also added fuel to the fire and said:

"All three sons must be treated fairly. Your eldest and second brothers live in the main house, while you live in the back garden. Aren't you afraid that a female ghost will come to take your life in the middle of the night? In my opinion, let the old man and the old woman live in the shabby house in the back garden, and you should live in the main house like your two brothers!"

Lin Kucan smiled indifferently when he heard his neighbor stirring up trouble. Just as Jin Caifeng was about to lose her temper, she heard her youngest son speak:

"You guys don't understand, don't you? The main house has its own advantages, and the back garden has its own charm. Although it's a little remote, a little deserted, a little overgrown with weeds, a little full of insects and rats, and the house is a little dilapidated, it's still quiet. How free is that for young people?"

Matchmaker Wang couldn't bear it when she heard it, thinking that this Lin family kid was really an idiot:

"So you know the back garden isn't good? Then why are you still living there? Aren't you afraid of being bitten to death by mosquitoes in this hot summer?"

Lin Sanqi carried the armchair and walked to the back:

"Filial piety is the most important virtue. Brothers should be respectful and modest to their younger brothers. This is the conscience of scholars like me. How can we let our parents live in a shabby house while we live in a big house? Goodbye, everyone!"

After Lin Sanqi left, Ma Dazhuang finally reacted:

"Ah, this kid is scolding us for being heartless, unfilial, and ununited with our brothers?"

The seasonal monkey spat on the ground:

"Bah! Intellectuals are just bad people. The more knowledgeable they are, the more reactionary they are. They even beat around the bush when insulting people. They're so sour."

"That's right, you're just like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. You don't know how to appreciate a good person. Just wait to be bullied by your brothers in the future!"

Looking at the room full of furniture, Jin Caifeng nodded with satisfaction:

"This is what home feels like. I'm sorry, Zaizi, but when we have the conditions in the future, your dad and I will buy me a new house and new furniture."

Lin Sanqi burst into laughter:

"Mom, you don't understand. The furniture Dad picked out can all be heirlooms. They're all made of rosewood. Who else can be as generous as me? I'm so happy."

Lin Kucan said with a smile while wiping the furniture:

"When it comes to vision, my youngest son has the best. The eldest and second oldest sons, haha, can't compare..."
