Chapter 105 I Want It
Li Yiyi nodded immediately, "Then please lead the way."
The middle-aged man sighed and hurried ahead to lead the way.
He Erpao was standing behind and saw that both of them had left. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately followed them.
After walking on this street for about ten minutes, the three of them entered a small alley. They walked in the alley for another three minutes before stopping at a small iron gate that was only wide enough for one person to enter.
"This is my home. My family is locals." The middle-aged man introduced as he walked.
When the three of them walked in, a woman and three children came out.
"This is my wife and my three children." The middle-aged man introduced them to Li Yiyi.
The woman saw her husband bringing two strangers home, and she looked at him nervously and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
The middle-aged man saw his wife's frightened face and immediately explained, "Don't be afraid, they are here to see the painting in our house."
After hearing his explanation, the woman's expression looked a little better.
"Where is the painting?" Li Yiyi asked at this time.
"It's inside, wait for me here, I'll go get it out," he said quickly.
Li Yiyi nodded.
While waiting for the painting, Li Yiyi felt three pairs of curious eyes staring at her.
Li Yiyi turned her head and immediately caught the three gazes and found that it was the three children in this family who were secretly looking at her.
As soon as she caught them, three pairs of eyes immediately ran away in panic.
Li Yiyi's mouth curled up, and she suddenly remembered that she still had some candy in her pocket.
"Come here." She waved to the three siblings.
The oldest of the three siblings looks as big as Jiang Jianshe, and the youngest is as big as Jiang Xiaobao.
As soon as she finished speaking, the older one became a little more sensible and didn't dare to come over. But the younger one, who didn't understand anything, took short steps towards her.
The oldest girl turned pale with fear and tried to grab her younger brother, but it was too late. She could only shout in fear, "Little brother."
Li Yiyi looked at her frightened face and smiled softly, "What are you afraid of? I don't eat people." After that, she picked up the little boy who was walking towards her.
"What's your name?" she asked the little boy with snot hanging from his nose.
"Long life." The little boy was not afraid of people and answered her with his eyes wide open.
When Li Yiyi heard the name, she took a sip of it, and immediately took out a candy from her pocket and put it in his hand, "Take it and eat it."
Children are children. Their eyes light up when they see the candy, and they slowly stretch out their chubby little hands to grab the candy.
When the woman came out and saw what was happening, she was shocked and ran over to stop her younger son from doing this.
The child cried loudly because the candy he had got was gone.
Li Yiyi smiled, opened the candy and stuffed it directly into the child's mouth.
"No, no, this candy is too expensive." The woman said with embarrassment when she saw this.
"It's okay, it's just a candy, just eat it." Li Yiyi said calmly.
The little guy stopped crying immediately after eating the candy, and smiled sweetly at her with a lovely face.
Li Yiyi smiled and rubbed his little head with her hand before stopping.
Since having two children, she found that she still has a lot of maternal love.
Just then, the middle-aged man who went in to get the painting came out.
"Comrade, this is the painting, take a look." Dong Fugui stared at her nervously.
Li Yiyi took the old painting from his hand, opened it and took a look. It was just a landscape painting, and it didn't look anything special.
Seeing that she had been looking at it for so long, Dong Fugui asked nervously, "Comrade, is it true that you just said you would pay twice the price to buy this painting of mine?"
Li Yiyi rolled up the painting, looked at him and asked, "How much does the buyer you are negotiating with offer for this painting?"
"I asked for fifty yuan, but the female comrade thought it was too high and kept bargaining with me. She wanted me to sell it to her for twenty yuan. I was still considering whether to sell it to her at this price." Dong Fugui said honestly.
Li Yiyi looked at the painting in her hand and smiled, "Then I'll give you a hundred dollars and you sell this painting to me."
"Really?" Dong Fugui's face turned red with excitement when he heard her words.
He Erpao on the side opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
Li Yiyi glanced at his look just now and her lips curled up, but she ignored it.
"Of course it's true. Do you want cash or food or something like that?" she asked.
"Can it be exchanged for food?" Dong Fugui didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Yes, do you want to exchange it all, or half for money and half for food?"
"I'll exchange it all for food, all." Food is so hard to buy now. He would be a fool if he didn't do so now that he has the opportunity to exchange it for food.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Li Yiyi nodded and said, "It's settled then. I'll come over tomorrow to inform you to get the food."
"This......?" Dong Fugui looked embarrassed.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Li Yiyi raised her eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I won't keep my word, or are you afraid that I will eat your painting and not give you food?"
Seeing that others had guessed his concerns, Dong Fugui smiled awkwardly with an embarrassed look on his face.
Li Yiyi was not annoyed by other people's lack of trust in her. If it were her, she would probably be as cautious as he was.
"I won't take this painting away for now. You can give it to me when you see the food." She handed the painting back to him.
Dong Fugui took the old painting she handed back and explained a little embarrassedly, "Comrade, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that..." After explaining for a while, he himself didn't know how to explain it.
Li Yiyi saw his embarrassment and smiled, "Okay, I understand. Just wait for my notification tomorrow. Also, I have reserved this painting, so you can't sell it to anyone else."
"Of course. This painting is already yours. I will give it to you as soon as I receive the grain tomorrow." Dong Fugui immediately promised.
After agreeing on the time for handing over the paintings and grain tomorrow, Li Yiyi left the house.
He Erpao, who was following behind her, had a look of wanting to stop on his face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hold it in." Li Yiyi, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
He Erpao heard the voice in front of him and finally couldn't help but walked forward and asked, "Comrade Li, I really don't understand. That painting looks like an ordinary landscape painting. Why did you spend a hundred yuan to buy it? You must have been cheated by that person."
Li Yiyi smiled. Although she couldn't see what was different about the painting, she believed in Yang Tao, the reborn girl. Since she was willing to spend such a huge price to buy this painting, there must be some secrets in the painting that they couldn't see.
