Lin Ran was planning to buy it anyway. The things she collected from the Huang family were enough to pay the 2999, so it was not a loss-making deal.
When I heard that it could be recycled after use, I bought it without hesitation.
Once I got the metal detector, well, it was like a black broom.
She didn't delay any longer and hurried to the Huang family's main house to start sweeping.
Soon there was a beeping sound and a red dot flashed on the metal detector.
Looks like this is it.
Lin Ran looked at the location and found that it was exactly where the cabinet was originally placed.
She immediately took out a shovel and started digging.
Fortunately, after digging for a while, we found a mahogany box about half a meter deep.
She put the box directly into the space, and after taking away the top one, she saw that there was another mahogany box underneath.
After she collected them all, she used a metal detector to carefully scan the house.
After making sure nothing was missed, she went to sweep other rooms and the yard.
But there was no movement from the metal detector afterwards.
It seems that these two boxes of treasure should be all the Huang family’s belongings.
Looking at the Huang family's empty shell, Lin Ran left with great satisfaction.
On the way back, Lin Ran took the time to try to recycle the metal detector.
Anyway, she doesn't need this thing on a regular basis.
It’s a good opportunity to try and see if it’s really free.
This way she can make better use of the trading mall in the future.
But looking at the recycling price displayed on the panel, Lin Ran raised his eyebrows and was speechless.
"Can you explain to me why I just spent 2999 yuan on something and now it's only worth 499 yuan after recycling?
Is this what you told me about not charging money?"
The system huddled in a corner and said weakly:
"The main thing is that once you've used it, it becomes second-hand, and the recycling price for second-hand items is bound to be greatly discounted."
"You call this a big discount? It's more like robbery."
Lin Ran was too lazy to argue with the system anymore and directly took back the metal detector. What was there to take back?
It’s better to keep it for yourself.
Maybe it will be useful in the future.
Anyway, even if she left it as trash, she didn't want to let this crappy mall get a bargain.
There is no guarantee that if I buy it at the original price next time, I will still buy this second-hand one.
When Lin Ran returned to the Shen family as if nothing had happened, Fourth Aunt Shen and Cao Changzheng had already arrived.
At this time, the two gangs were negotiating.
No one noticed Lin Ran coming back and forth.
Lin Weiguo had originally hoped that these people would give Cao Changzheng some face and show mercy.
But he was obviously overthinking it.
These people didn't take Cao Changzheng seriously at all.
His attitude was still very arrogant. Either he had to pay back the money immediately, or he would use Shen Jinzhi and others to pay off the debt.
Cao Changzheng didn't expect these people to be so disrespectful, and his expression was almost unbearable.
Seeing this, Lin Ran couldn't help but pinch her handkerchief.
It seems that these people must be Jia Yongchang's lackeys, otherwise they would not be so bold and unscrupulous.
Just when the atmosphere between the two gangs was at a stalemate, Old Man Shen finally woke up.
His old voice came through the window.
"Weiguo, Changzheng, come in for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Lin Weiguo and his companions didn't bother to confront Brother Qiang and his companions anymore and immediately went into the east room.
Lin Ran also followed quietly.
At this time, Old Man Shen was sitting at the head of the bed. He trembled and took out a small cloth bag, sighing:
"What a misfortune for our family! I'm sorry to have caused you to suffer as well. Sigh..."
Seeing that his father-in-law seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, Lin Weiguo couldn't help but comfort him:
"Dad, we are all family, and we shouldn't talk about different things. Besides, now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's find a way to get rid of those people first."
Old Man Shen also knew the current situation. He sighed and stopped saying discouraging words.
With trembling hands, he opened the cloth bag in his hand and took out a pair of silver bracelets.
"Now I can only pay off the debt owed to that evil creature first, alas...
You all know our family's financial situation. We haven't saved much money over the years, so this is all we have."
As he spoke, he took out three more Great Unity notes from his cloth bag.
“Here are thirty yuan and this pair of silver bracelets, which were given to me by Landlord Shen when he was here.
These are all the assets our family has, and all together they only amount to a few dozen dollars.
The rest..."
When it came to the latter part, Old Man Shen was a little embarrassed to speak.
Lin Weiguo immediately took over.
"Dad, don't worry, let's work together to figure out the rest."
Upon hearing this, Cao Changzheng could only agree:
"Yeah, Dad, let's all get together."
The rest of Aunt Shen's family and Aunt Shen's second family had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod their heads.
Old man Shen couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw this, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
Although the two sons he raised were not very reliable, fortunately all four daughters married good sons-in-law.
"I'm so sorry! But as an old man, I really have no other choice but to shamelessly ask for your help.
But don't worry, consider this money as a loan from Lao Er and I, and we will definitely pay it back later.
Even if I am gone, I will ask the second brother to continue to pay it back.
After those people leave, I will have my second brother write IOUs to each of you!"
In the end, the few families managed to scrape together the money.
Cao Changzheng took the most, fifty directly.
Uncle Shen's family was poor and he had to support his son's education, so he could only come up with twenty yuan.
