Chapter 52 Two Thousand! That's too much.

Grandma Bao is short and thin. As she is old, she looks like a dried tomato, small and wrinkled.

She was wearing a green jacket and black pants, with all her white hair combed back. Her right eye was injured when she was young, so there was a white spot in that eye.

She looked for a long time before she could see the girl clearly. She smiled, revealing her few teeth: "Handsome! The girl is so pretty!"

"Good enough for the four boys! Hehehe."

Grandma Bao was really happy. She held Jiang Wanwan's hand and seemed like she couldn't stop looking at her.

The house was usually quiet, and rarely as lively as it was today. Erzhuzi came up to Grandma Bao and said loudly in her ear, "Grandma, the candy you ate a few days ago was given to me by my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is very kind to me. She gave me red wax and a handful of candy. I haven't finished the candy yet, so we can still eat it during the New Year!"

Grandma Bao smiled and nodded: "I'm old, but my brain is not broken. I remember it." She said to Jiang Wanwan, "Erzhuzi told me when he came back that you were good to him and that someone bullied you. Who bullied you? Grandma will help you beat her!"

Such a good girl cannot be bullied by others.

Erzhuzi: "Grandma, my sister-in-law said she came here today to ask for our help. She brought some noodles and eggs. I can help her, but I can't take the things."

Fourth brother’s family was having a hard time, and it was fine if he couldn’t help, but how could he accept his sister-in-law’s things?

Grandma Bao couldn't stop nodding, and she pulled Jiang Wanwan to coax her, "Erzhuzi is right, take the things back, and I will help you in any way you want."

"My second son has always been short since he was young. Without your fourth son, he wouldn't have lived to this age."

Grandma Bao's hands were dry from working all her life. She held Jiang Wanwan's hands tightly, and the strength she felt told Jiang Wanwan how grateful Grandma Bao was to them.

"Grandma, please listen to me first. This matter is very important to me, and it is also a good opportunity for you to make a fortune." Jiang Wanwan did not mention the matter of noodles first.

Shen Xingjiang watched Jiang Wanwan gently holding the old man's hand, not disdaining the country old lady at all, and her eyebrows were more gentle than the pink lotus in Jiangnan in June.

Wanwan is like this, extremely soft-hearted.

Because of this, in his dreams at midnight, Shen Xingjiang felt that he had gotten a great bargain. How could he have deserved to marry such a good daughter-in-law into his family?

Grandma Bao nodded: "Child, you speak."

Maybe it was because Grandma Bao was too kind. Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but blush when she talked about Jiang Lian. "The one who bullied me was my cousin Jiang Lian. She stole my fiancé and framed me for being demoted. Last time, Lin Youshuang brought people to arrest me and Shen Xingjiang, and it was also her who manipulated me behind the scenes."

"After my mother married her father, she also favored her. Last time, she even wanted to beat me because of her."

Jiang Wanwan is really aggrieved and pitiful.

Er Zhuzi heard Shen Xingjiang talk about some things about Jiang Lian. Shen Xingjiang is a man with a cold personality and he didn't say many things. Only today did he know that Jiang Lian had done so many evil things!

"You bitch! How can you be so vicious? Sister-in-law, stop talking. We will help you with whatever you want us to do."

Erzhuzi slammed his fist on the kang.

He should have helped his sister-in-law beat Jiang Lian last time. He really regretted it.

Grandma Bao had lived for a long time and had seen everything, but when she heard Jiang Wanwan talk about these things, for some reason, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Tell me, kid, how can grandma help you?"

Jiang Wanwan sniffed her nose, and Shen Xingjiang put toilet paper under her nose. She blushed and blew her nose hard. Shen Xingjiang helped her wipe her nose clean, and threw the snotty paper next to the dry pit: "Grandma and Erzhuzi are both trustworthy, just say whatever you want."

Grandma Bao and Er Zhuzi were shocked when they saw Shen Xingjiang wiping Jiang Wanwan's nose. Is the fourth brother raising a daughter-in-law or a child?

Is this really the fourth brother?

Jiang Wanwan hummed: "I heard that grandma has an old item at home, can you take it out and let me see it?"

Grandma Bao: "Yes, Erzhuzi, go and get the jade hat top."

Grandma Bao's house was very simple, with two rooms and a kitchen. There was a supporting beam under the kang in the east room, with several large boxes placed underneath. The walls were covered with newspapers. The house was simple and clean.

Erzhuzi took out a wooden box from the cabinet against the wall. The box looked quite old.

He put the box on the kang.

"Look, sister-in-law."

Grandma Bao let go of Jiang Wanwan's hand, and Jiang Wanwan opened the silver lotus buckle on the outside of the box.

The outside of the box looks a bit old, but the inside looks brand new. The box was covered with white brocade and a jade hat was placed inside.

When Jiang Wanwan saw the jade hat, she was stunned at first, and then her eyes were filled with regret that she could not hide. Her breathing rhythm became irregular, and she took the jade hat out of the box with heartache.

“…What a pity.”

Shen Xingjiang sat next to her and saw that something was wrong with her: “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Wanwan sighed a few times: "Since ancient times, the jade-topped hat is a headdress, but it has a very important status symbol."

"Look at this jade top, carved with rocks, Ganoderma lucidum, narrow trees, and quiet and fat deer with zhiguan (crowned deer), it expresses both the form and the spirit..." From the craftsmanship, shape, and decoration, they all point to the autumn mountain theme of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

A few years later, it would be no problem to sell this one for five figures.

The more precious it was, the more Jiang Wanwan felt sorry for it. She stroked the jade with trembling fingers and it hurt every time she breathed.

"...It's a pity, I don't know who repaired it. Look, this deer antler has been glued, and this piece of Ganoderma lucidum has also been repaired..."

After years of baptism, the cultural relics have become damaged and cracked, and have been repaired by ignorant people, losing their original value.

"The restorer has some skills, but his technique is not up to standard. He can only fool beginners. Experienced people will never accept it."

But this one is just right for Jiang Lian.

Shen Xingjiang knew that she had a special feeling for cultural relics, and patted Jiang Wanwan’s arm: “It was for this reason that the person didn’t buy it last time.”

Jiang Wanwan: “Yes.”

Grandma Bao and Erzhuzi finally found out why such a good thing was not sold. It turned out that it was not fake, but had been repaired and was no longer worth much.

Jiang Wanwan closed the lid and said, "Grandma, Erzhuzi, Jiang Lian will come to collect this item later. You should give her two thousand yuan then."

She bet Jiang Lian didn't have that much money.

If she didn't have money, she would ask Cheng Shiguan for it. Cheng Shiguan was a new official and it was time for him to show that he could be independent without relying on the Cheng family. He wouldn't have that much money on him.

But in order to marry Jiang Lian, he will find ways to raise money. After all the effort, Jiang Lian will buy something worthless and bring it back to the Cheng family to embarrass herself. At that time, Jiang Lian will not only be embarrassed, but also lose the last value.

This item lost its value because it was repaired. After the truth is revealed, Jiang Lian will not doubt the note, and will receive the item according to the wrong knowledge written in the note, which will cause him to make many mistakes in the future.

When Jiang Lian’s reputation in Sijiu City is ruined, it will be the best time for her to take back the Jiang family.

She didn't tell Erzhuzi and Grandma Bao about the Jiang family's affairs. In this new life, she had to be more careful about everything.

"Two thousand! That's too much. How could she accept it?" Erzhuzi had never seen so much money since he was born.
