Chapter 64 Ice Plum Pattern Bowl



Damn it! Why are you doing this to me!!!

Life has become a matter of survival. With loved ones leaving one by one, she's truly exhausted from living in this world! She might as well just let a thunderbolt strike her to death! Why add to this torture?

Dad...how much longer can he live? Why don't we drink rat poison together and end it all, just die?

As I slowly walked home, the light in my eyes gradually faded.

"Hey! Lesbian? Lesbian!"

When Yang Yuehua realized someone was calling her, she came back to her senses and saw a beautiful woman. Her emotions were in deep darkness and she was in no mood to pay attention to others. She just glanced at her, turned her head and continued walking forward.

"I want your bowl." Song Jiayu's soft voice woke Yang Yuehua up like a bolt of lightning.

Suddenly, someone grabbed my hand and asked, "What did you say? You want... that bowl?"

Song Jiayu smiled and moved her tightly grasped wrist. Yang Yuehua immediately released her hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was too excited. I took the bowl to the commune and asked for it for three days, but no one bought it. My father's health can't wait."

"It's okay, you don't have to doubt it. I really want that bowl. I can afford what you want, but that bowl must be real as you said." Song Jiayu didn't want to be a sucker.

Yang Yuehua nodded desperately, "It's true, absolutely true. It's an heirloom in my family. My grandfather and father value this bowl very much. It's the only good thing my family can afford now."

He added, "If you don't believe me, I swear that if I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

"Um...you don't have to swear this oath. I have the means to get this bowl directly, right?"

It is known that the system item check-ins are all related to cultural relics with history. It is known that only by obtaining the items in the task can the task be completed and the reward be obtained. Therefore, Song Jiayu can judge whether it is true or false based on these two points.

Yang Yuehua was excited, "Okay, I can show you the bowl now."

"No rush, we can first discuss what you want and what I can give you."

"I..." Yang Yuehua knew things were different now. Twenty years ago, a porcelain vase from home could be sold for the price of several gold bars. It was not easy to find someone who would want this bowl. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I want three pounds of brown sugar, two laying hens, two pounds of pork, and twenty pounds of rice."

Are these too many? Will the woman in front of me agree? If not, which one should I reduce?

As she was feeling uneasy, her vision suddenly went dark.

Song Jiayu hurriedly supported him, found a big rock, and helped him walk over to sit down.

But Yang Yuehua recovered in a moment and said "thank you".

"You're welcome. I can accept all the conditions you mentioned. Give me an hour to prepare and you can bring the things over. We'd better meet somewhere with fewer people." Compared to the things given, it is obvious that the system reward for getting this bowl is better. You know, a piece of broken porcelain can be rewarded with five yuan. There are so many supplies in the system warehouse. Song Jiayu didn't want to waste time talking about it.

"I know a place. There is an open space behind the primary school in the commune. The primary school is on vacation, and there are no children or other people there. We can meet there." Yang Yuehua said.

Song Jiayu nodded: "Okay, in an hour it will be four o'clock in the afternoon. Please be there on time. I will wait for five minutes at most."

With hope, Yang Yuehua stood up and said seriously, "I will definitely be there on time."

After separating from Yang Yuehua, Song Jiayu went directly to the commune primary school and found the open space mentioned. There were a lot of stones. The only tree had broken through the underground stone layer. There were also a few dry grasses growing in the cracks of the stones. There was still an unobstructed area nearby.

She came first to have some protection.

What if Yang Yuehua was a ruthless person, not only would she not give her the bowl, but she would also hire someone to lie in wait for her, trying to steal the things she brought, and beat her half to death or blackmail her into giving more... Although all this was just her imagination, there was a one percent possibility, so it was worth her investigating first.

It’s okay to laugh and joke around normally, but you have to strike hard when it matters.

This is Song Jiayu's life creed.

She took out brown sugar, hens, pork, and rice from the system warehouse, put them in the basket on her back, glanced around, and found a place to hide temporarily.

The wall of the elementary school was not very high. After rushing a few steps, he climbed up with his hands, stepped on the wall for leverage, and climbed to the top of the wall like a monkey, then jumped down.

She was fine, but the two chickens in the basket on her back were clucking in fear.

After climbing over the wall, the bright look on his face disappeared, and for a moment he looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

Song Jiayu: I have such a stupid brain! I can get the stuff out of the system warehouse after I get to school!

With some reluctance, I walked into the deserted primary school, climbed onto the roof of the teaching building, sat in the shade, and waited for someone to come.

It's almost four o'clock.

Squinting his eyes, he looked down and saw Yang Yuehua carrying a large basket on her back and holding a box carefully in her hands.

Yang Yuehua arrived at the destination and was waiting.

Song Jiayu picked up the backpack again and climbed over the wall again.

Without caring why the buyer climbed over the wall, Yang Yuehua first opened the wooden box in her hand. Inside was a small bowl with a hole in it. After so many years, its color had not faded. It was blue overall, with the shape of plum blossoms outlined in gold.

"This is a bowl with an ice plum pattern from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The bottom of the bowl has the reign title and a seal. My great-great-great-grandfather got it and kept it until now as a family heirloom. It has witnessed the changes of several generations of my Yang family. We were once a family of scholars, but now we have fallen to the point of ruin."

Yang Yuehua looked at the bowl with deep reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes, and continued, "I'm handing it over to you. I hope you'll treat it well in the future."

"Don't worry, I will. This is what I promised to give you." Song Jiayu took the box.

At this moment, the electronic sound of the system came.

[Complete the quest to find out the origin of a bowl with a missing mouth and successfully check in for the Yongzheng period Ice Plum Pattern Bowl to receive 80 yuan in coins.]

Not only did she earn 80 yuan, but she also got an antique bowl. Song Jiayu felt happy that she could climb over the wall a few more times.

After checking the things, she found that the rice was good, the two living hens were very energetic, the three pounds of brown sugar were not adulterated, and the two pieces of pork belly were fat and lean. Yang Yuehua was very happy.

"Thank you, especially thank you, comrade."

"You're welcome." Song Jiayu thought for a moment and said, "If you still have antiques like this, you can also come to me. Whether it's money or things, I have them all."

"Then how can I contact you?" Yang Yuehua needed both money and things.
