Professor Dong noticed Sun Mofei's hesitation and did not rush to persuade her. This kind of thing really cannot be persuaded by others. She needs to arrange things herself, otherwise she will always feel that there will be various problems here and there.
As an unfamiliar stranger, Fifth Grandpa tried not to speak as much as possible, and his smart daughter-in-law would handle any problems.
After a long and arduous process, the team finally completed the sorting process. They meticulously inspected and recorded each item's name, age, condition, location of defects, and estimated selling price, all of which was meticulously recorded on a list. Sun Mofei stood by, observing the busy procession, while carefully reviewing the densely packed yet clearly organized list. She found that the descriptions and prices of each item were extremely objective and fair.
Just as everyone was engrossed in the matter at hand, a crisp knock on the door suddenly interrupted their thoughts. Sun Mofei quickly stood up and walked to the door, lowering his voice and asking, "Excuse me, who is it?"
A gentle voice came from outside the door and replied, "Hello, I'm from the neighborhood office. I heard you had some strangers visiting, so I came to check on you and see if everything was alright."
Hearing this answer, Grandpa Wu immediately became alert. He thought to himself, how could the neighborhood committee care about whether there were strangers visiting other people's homes? I'm afraid these people are really concerned about the precious old things in the house! Thinking of this, he stared at Sun Mofei, only to see that Sun Mofei had walked to the door, and seeing this, he quickly stepped aside. Grandpa Wu said nothing, and with a light and swift movement, he pulled out the bolt on the door, pushed the door open like lightning, and then took the opportunity to pull the young man who was about to reach out to knock on the door into the house, then slammed the door shut and re-bolted it. With one hand, he covered the mouth of the still confused man, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing water, catching people off guard.
After closing the door, Grandpa Wu dragged the man into a room and closed the door. No one knew what happened in the room, and no one heard any sound. It was very quiet. Except for Sun Mofei, the other three knew that this man would not be well in the hands of Grandpa Wu.
After a while, Fifth Grandpa came out of the house. He still didn't have any extra expression. He just told everyone to continue working, and everyone turned around and continued to work.
Sun Mofei had a new understanding of this mysterious "benefactor". She felt that Fifth Grandpa was very righteous and saved her, which made her have a better impression of Fifth Grandpa.
After about two or three hours of packing, almost everything in the house was taken away by flatbed truck. Professor Dong wanted to give Sun Mofei a considerable sum of money.
They had previously agreed to pay with gold bars, which were easier to carry. Then Professor Dong asked something that had nothing to do with selling antiques: "Where are you going next?"
Sun Mofei smiled bitterly after hearing this: "I don't know yet. I haven't decided where to go. It's definitely not possible to go too far. Letters of introduction are hard to get."
"Are you alone? Where are your children?"
"I've never been married."
No wonder Professor Dong felt that Sun Mofei, at her age, always had the cuteness of a little girl and the dignity and elegance of a lady from a noble family. The mixture of these two temperaments was not contradictory, but rather made people particularly like her and want to get in touch with her.
"If you have nowhere to go, come to our village." Professor Dong suddenly said
