"It's really worth money, that's impossible, right?"
Lin Shaoli murmured, "My wife clearly said those things were worthless, and they couldn't even be sold for more than a few dozen yuan."
Lin Hongxian also knew that those things were indeed not worth much in terms of money.
He even joked in front of Lin Wanxia and others that his ancestors had only left behind some rags after their family fell into poverty.
But many things cannot be measured by money.
Everything left by our ancestors, even a brick or a tile, has its own value.
That is the value of history and culture.
Unfortunately, my nephew's family didn't know the value of the item and lost it so soon after I got it.
He felt sad just thinking about it: "Go to the county bookstore now and see how much a new book costs now."
"Junk can be sold for dozens of dollars, don't you think about whether you can sell it for more in the future if you keep it?"
"You are stupid, don't blame others."
"What else do you know besides gold and silver?"
"I'm afraid you don't even know the different tiers of copper coins?"
"You're a bad gambler and a hit man! If you had asked me before you took the things, I'd be happy."
"I'll tell you everything, but you can't make such a big mistake."
"Not only were the things cheated away, but I was also cheated."
"You still don't know what's good for you!"
After hearing what Lin Hongxian said, the villagers began to criticize Lin Shaoli: "That's right, Shaoli, why didn't you ask your uncle when you moved the boxes?"
"You haven't been to school for many years. You don't know the good stuff. Can't you ask?"
"You just sell it casually. You just believe what people outside say."
"Have you ever heard of someone who went to the countryside specifically to collect junk? He used the money he earned from collecting junk to buy a lot of antiques, and then made a fortune by reselling them?"
"You're so stupid..."
Lin Shaoli was scolded by the villagers and gradually his eyes widened: "Those things are really, really valuable?"
Lin Hongxian: "Whether it is valuable or not, it must fall into the hands of people who know the value of it."
"If you don't know the goods, they are worthless."
Lin Shaoli's face turned pale when he heard this, and he stood there for a while with his eyes fixed.
Suddenly, there was a loud cry: "Stinky bitch, she didn't even know she was being cheated."
"I'll go get it back right away. You stinky bitch, you sold off our ancestors' treasures at such a low price..."
Lin Shaoli ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Someone worriedly reminded Lin Hongxian: "Uncle Lin, it seems Shao Li has gone to settle accounts with his wife."
"He looks like he's crazy. I'm afraid something is going to happen."
Lin Hongxian shook his head. He was not worried at all that something might happen to Lin Shaoli when he went to his mother-in-law's house.
The reason is simple: the wife that Lin Shaoli married comes from a very tough family.
But he is still reasonable and never causes trouble in front of Lin Hongxian.
If someone dares to go to his mother-in-law's house to cause trouble, Lin Shaoli will definitely not get the upper hand.
It turned out to be just as Lin Hongxian had expected.
After Lin Shaoli ran all the way to his mother-in-law's house, he just shouted: "Wife, come out here."
The old man, who was old and looked more ferocious than Li Kui, ran out with a bloody knife in his hand while he was butchering a pig.
She yelled at him, "What are you yelling about? My third sister has already said she doesn't want to live with you anymore. Why are you still here? Are you looking for death?"
As soon as he finished speaking, five burly brothers-in-law came out.
A man held a big stick as thick as his wrist and just waved it at Lin Shaoli, scaring him so much that his legs went weak.
"What are you yelling about? Can you just call me sister?"
"Kneel down and say whatever you want to say."
"If it weren't for my sister and nephew, believe it or not, we brothers would send you to hell right now."
The other family has always looked down on Lin Shaoli.
In the past, because Lin Hongxian was quite famous in the local area and Lin Shaoli was good-looking when he was young, the woman fell in love with him.
They got married just now.
As a result, after many years of marriage, Lin Shaoli became more and more despicable, spending his time eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, and doing nothing.
For the sake of her child, the woman tolerated him again and again.
Until he was imprisoned, his child's future was affected and he couldn't even join the army.
The woman finally came to her senses and decided to divorce Lin Shaoli, completely severing ties with him.
When Lin Shaoli saw that his father-in-law's family was so powerful, he immediately became discouraged.
He stammered, "I came here to tell my wife that she was cheated. The things left by my ancestors are very valuable, but she was tricked into selling them at a low price."
The butcher flicked the blood off his knife and said, "So what? That was two years ago."
"If you hadn't injured someone and owed a lot of debt, would Third Sister have sold all those things?"
"That thing didn't sell for much?"
"But apart from that, how much debt has my daughter paid for you? How much antique gold can she buy? Have you ever calculated it?"
"You will never be able to repay my daughter for the rest of her life."
"You still have the nerve to come to my house and yell, blaming my daughter, bah—"
"You've lived half your life and still don't know what you are. Just looking at you makes me feel unlucky."
Then he called out to his sons: "Beat him! He dared to come to my door and yell. He is asking for a beating--"
As soon as the father-in-law finished speaking, the five brothers-in-law rushed up and beat Lin Shaoli.
He was beaten so hard that he screamed and howled, "He's beating me, beating me, beating me to death..."
"Bah..."
Seeing that the beating was almost over, the butcher called for a stop.
He spat at Lin Shaoli and said, "If you have any guts, you should mend your ways now. Go back to farming and live a decent life."
