Finally, Luo Yiyi and his team successfully bought two floor cabinets and a box on the kang for 40 yuan.
Looking at the backs of Luo Yiyi and his companions who were happily driving his family's ox cart away, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu stood where they were, tightly clutching the forty yuan in their hands, but they couldn't smile at all!
Aunt Liu's eyes widened in disbelief, "We originally sold that box for six yuan each, and we're just giving it away for free?"
As she spoke, she stamped her feet in pain.
Uncle Liu shook his head helplessly, put his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards his yard, muttering unhappily, "What else can I do?
The things have already been taken away. Can I go back on my word and try to get them back now?
Besides, the words had already been spoken, so there was no point in taking them back!"
Aunt Liu was still indignant. She hurried forward and continued to complain:
"You clearly had the opportunity to refuse just now, but who knew you couldn't resist being praised so much? If someone flatters you a little, you won't even know the directions.
I was constantly winking at you and warning you, but you foolishly jumped into the trap they set..."
Uncle Liu was already in a bad mood, and when he heard Aunt Liu chattering on and on, his anger was immediately ignited.
He suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted at Aunt Liu: "In the final analysis, isn't this all because you asked for an exorbitant price at the beginning?
Do you really think that everyone is a fool?
Thirty yuan is enough to buy a large wardrobe with a mirror in the county town. Who would come here to buy these broken cabinets?
Aunt Liu was also very aggrieved, pointing at him and shouting, "Didn't you tell me that they spend money like water and want to buy everything they see?
How did I know they were so smart?
Besides, if I raise the price a bit, isn’t it just because I want to save more money to find a wife for our son?
Look, he's already 20 years old, but he still hasn't found a suitable wife. How can I, as his mother, not be anxious?
After hearing these words, the rage burning in Uncle Liu's heart gradually subsided.
He sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "Da Zhuang has never been able to find a suitable wife, that's simply because he himself is not willing to go on blind dates.
They don’t care about it themselves, what’s the point of you worrying about it!
Okay, okay, let’s end this matter here and no one is allowed to mention it again.
Oh, by the way, it’s already this late, why is Da Zhuang nowhere to be seen? "
When Aunt Liu heard this, her eyes began to avoid her, she stammered, and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
When Uncle Liu saw this, his face instantly darkened and his eyes became extremely stern.
Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed Aunt Liu, walked quickly into the house, and then closed the door with a "bang".
Then, he lowered his voice and roared, "Tell me the truth, did Da Zhuang sneak off to the black market to trade those things again?
I've told him so many times, don't let him do this, don't let him do this, if he gets caught his life will be over, why doesn't he listen?
As a mother, you didn't stop him, but instead covered for him. Do you two want to piss me off to death?"
Aunt Liu muttered nonchalantly, "Oh, no one noticed!
Don't worry, our Da Zhuang has always been very careful and cautious in doing things!
Moreover, in order to avoid being seen by the villagers, he deliberately chose a day when no villagers would go to the county town to do his business.
The old man standing nearby frowned and retorted seriously, "But nothing is so absolute!
Who knows if no one will really go to the county town on this day?
Humph, wait until that brat comes back, and I'll give him a good beating. I'll break his legs!"
When Aunt Liu heard this, she just glanced at the old man who had just walked into the house and laughed secretly in her heart.
Every time he said he would teach Da Zhuang a lesson, but in the end it was all just a lot of noise and no action. He was simply reluctant to do anything serious.
…
Gu Sihan was very excited when he returned home. He hurriedly carried the boxes and went straight to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he carefully placed the box next to his bedding.
Then he stuffed the old cotton jacket and cotton trousers he had taken off earlier, as well as the briefs that Luo Yiyi had sewn for him, into the box.
Luo Yiyi and the other two walked in carrying the cabinet. Seeing Gu Sihan looking at the box with a happy face, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "What treasure did you put in this box? Look how happy you are!"
Gu Sihan turned around, his eyes sparkling with joy, and said to them proudly: "Hey, from today on, this box is my treasure chest!
These are all my treasures, so no one of you is allowed to touch them!"
After saying this, he hugged the box tightly as if he was guarding a rare treasure.
