"100 yuan? Why don't you just rob me?" Song Weidong pulled out his wages from his pocket. "Take it and get out of here!"
The worker looked at the 5 yuan thrown into his arms and knew this man was not someone to mess with, so he softened his tone and said, "If you think it's too expensive, I can find you a cheaper one later. Otherwise, how can anyone live in this house!"
"It's none of your business. Just grab the money and get out of here!"
Song Weidong was only focused on saving money; he was just tidying up the house. How difficult could that be?
Seeing his resolute attitude, the worker took the money and left.
I thought to myself, "This guy is ruthless! It would take seven or eight people to clean up such a disgusting room."
Chen Jianing became agitated when she saw the person leave. "Brother Dong! This house is uninhabitable!"
Song Weidong: "Aren't we human? Can't we clean it up ourselves?"
Chen Jianing couldn't help but vomit. The scene in that room was too frightening. When had she ever seen such a disgusting sight?
Song Weidong yelled at her and her son, "Neither of you wants to run away. If you want to stay, pack up and get out of here! Otherwise, you're both out of here!"
Chen Jianing had nowhere to go, and she hadn't even gotten the money yet. If she left now, wouldn't it be like trying to get water in a bamboo basket—all her efforts would be in vain?
Song Yaozu didn't dare to leave either, because he knew that if he left, his father would really break his legs.
So the three of them stuffed their noses with something, went inside to clean, and then went outside to vomit for a while before continuing to clean, repeating this cycle.

Lu Zhixia brought a bowl to the supply and marketing cooperative. At first, she couldn't find Director Yu. Later, she asked around and found out that he had gone out. So she sat at the door and waited.
They waited until almost noon, when they saw Director Yu and two other people riding back on bicycles.
Director Yu got out of the car and walked directly towards Lu Zhixia.
"Child, are you waiting for me?"
"Yes! I need to talk to you. Could we find a place where no one is around?"
"Okay, come with me, I'll take you to the warehouse."
Director Yu turned to the other two people and said, "I'll be back in a bit. You two go back and wait for me."
They nodded to indicate they understood, then pushed their bicycles toward where they had parked.
They arrived at the warehouse quickly. Director Yu used a key to open the warehouse door and turned on the lights before going in.
"Go ahead and say it! There aren't many people around here."
Lu Zhixia looked around and saw that the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse was quite large, with all sorts of things on the shelves or in boxes and bags.
She opened her bag and took out a bowl wrapped in newspaper.
Do you know anything about antiques?
"What's this?"
"I received a bowl this morning, but I'm not sure if it's real or fake."
Director Yu opened the newspaper to reveal a very beautiful bowl. He took out his glasses from his pocket, put them on, and then took the bowl with both hands. He then looked down and examined it carefully.
“Although I don’t know much about antiques either, this should be an old item, but whether it’s genuine or not, we need to have it appraised.” Director Yu looked up and said, “Nowadays, some people know that antiques are valuable, but they are rare and hard to find, so fakes have appeared.”
People from our country may not be good at much else, but when it comes to counterfeiting, no other country can match them!
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh, and then handed the bowl back.
Lu Zhixia wrapped the bowl up again and put it in her bag. "Could you find someone to take a look at it for me?"
"Okay, I'll go back and tell them, then I'll go out with you."
"Then I'll wait for you at this door."
"You don't need to wait here, I trust you."
After finishing his speech, Director Yu left in a hurry.
Lu Zhixia sat down on the stool and looked around. If she had a warehouse full of these goods, they would be worth a lot of money if she could resell them.
Actually, she has a lot of ideas in her head, but she just doesn't have the money.
Director Yu returned quickly and waved to Lu Zhixia.
“Come on, ride your bike with me to find my old friend. He should be able to tell.”
Lu Zhixia then followed Director Yu out of the warehouse to get a bicycle, and rode with him for a long time until they arrived at the door of a secluded house in the south of the city.
Director Yu pressed the doorbell on the wall, and after two or three minutes, a middle-aged woman came to open the door.
"Nanny Guo, is Lao Tian home?"
"Yes, come in with me."
So the woman led them into the courtyard.
The path was lined with many flowers in full bloom, and there was a fish pond not far away with many red koi, about thirty or forty in total, the largest of which looked to weigh four or five pounds.
Lu Zhixia felt that this family must be rich and noble, and the further she went in, the more she felt that way, until she entered the hall and saw some antiques on the shelves and some calligraphy and paintings on the walls.
It's truly remarkable that so much has been left behind in this era; one couldn't have done it without some power!
