Currently, many people live in cramped and dilapidated houses, just like your classmate's family, and have a very low quality of life.

Therefore, I believe the government will not allow this situation to continue and will intervene sooner or later. Currently, ordinary people do not have much money and not many can afford to buy a house, but things will be different in the future.

I firmly believe that our country will not remain so backward and impoverished forever. When the country becomes strong and its people have more money, the value of our houses will likely increase.

Chen Jiandang nodded and said, "Sister, you're right. My master often says the same thing. He says that our country is only experiencing a short period of turmoil right now."

Once things stabilize in a few years, those antiques that are currently being discarded as trash will become highly sought-after collectibles, and you won't be able to buy them even if you want to.

So what I need to do now is to collect and preserve them as best I can, because those things will be very valuable in the future.”

Seeing that Chen Jiandang had finally stopped worrying about how she knew the house would appreciate in value in the future, Chen Shuning breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking that no matter the era, the Chinese have always been very skilled at forging antiques, he thought for a moment and then advised, "Collecting antiques is a good thing, but I've heard there are a lot of tricks involved."

You're just a kid with little experience, so you need to be extra careful when buying things. Don't get scammed and end up spending money on a bunch of counterfeit goods that you treasure like precious gems.

Chen Jiandang knew his sister meant well, so he patiently explained, "Sister, you can rest assured about this. My master was the clerk at the largest pawnshop in Beijing back in the day. No counterfeit goods could escape his eyes."

So before I buy anything, I always ask him to help me choose. Not to mention anything else, none of the hundreds of items in my house are later than the Ming or Qing dynasties. I don't even care to collect things from the Republic of China era anymore.

"Sis, if you like houses, go ahead and buy them. Even if your houses don't appreciate in value, you still have me. I'll take care of you when you're old."

Chen Shuning was moved by Chen Jiandang's words.

She felt that although her younger brother was sometimes mischievous, he always brought her warmth in crucial moments.

She felt very lucky to have such a smart and sensible younger brother who always made her feel cared for and loved.

She also has a loving family who warm her heart like sunshine.

In this family, she felt endless love and care, which made her feel like the luckiest person in the world.
