However, these two items have little potential for appreciation in the future. In the fat man's calculations, even in modern times, they would probably be worth at most a few hundred thousand.
But another item he found was valuable.
This is a scroll painting by Wang Shigu.
A painting is called a "scroll," not a single piece; you have to go to Liulichang and tell the seller, "I want to buy a painting."
That would make you an amateur; people wouldn't even give you a second glance.
What a bunch of idiots! They know nothing but dare to get involved in this industry!
This painting is a truly treasured item, the kind that becomes more valuable with age.
It's a wonderful thing that can be passed down through generations!
You've all seen "Human Insect," right? Li Chengru plays the "antique insect," who spends so much time and money on collecting and trading, only to end up with about ten items.
Do you remember the cricket pot you bought for 50 yuan, and the painting you bought after emptying your pockets and even paying for your shoes?
The painting that the antique enthusiast bought was by Wang Shigu.
That's why Fatty said he entered the industry too late, missing the best opportunity to snag a bargain. Those who buy truckloads of goods so easily are probably richer than the Ghost Blows Out the Light team.
Why bother going to a tomb when you can just raid your own place?
"..."
Back to the story of Yu Wanlin making Yu Li smash that antique, Yu Li sulked for a while, but then calmed down.
Yu Li looked at Chen Mengxiao and said, "Call your mom or mommy."
Chen Mengxiao looked at Yu Wanlin for help.
Yu Wanlin was also troubled: "The two of them are bound to meet eventually, and now your mother has brought it up herself..."
At this moment, Chen Mengqi forcefully interjected: "No, Auntie, wait a minute! Who's the mother?"
Yu Wanlin weakly explained, "Um, it was Chen Mengxiao's mother who made him call Yu Li 'Mom' as well."
"Why should I? I don't agree! She's my mom!"
"Fine, fine, if you don't agree, then we won't let him call it that..."
At this point, Yu Wanlin could only coax this little princess and had to give in to her every whim.
Whether Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e can get along peacefully when they meet later depends entirely on her.
Chen Mengqi plopped down next to Chen Mengxiao: "I'm warning you, don't even think about taking away my father's and mother's love, or I'll throw you into a well!"
Despite the inappropriate occasion, Yu Wanlin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Li put one hand to her forehead. Back then, she always threatened Chen Yan, saying she would throw her into a well. As a result, Chen Mengqi followed suit and learned to do the same.
Oh, right, Chen Yan!
Yu Li gritted her teeth whenever she thought of her. You really are my good "sister"!
Yu Li picked up the phone again and called "Where to Move" company.
He Yushui answered the phone, and as soon as she picked it up, she heard Yu Li shout, "Tell Chen Yan to get out here and answer the phone!"
Rain frowned, held the receiver a little further away, and asked, "Is this Yu Li? Why are you so angry?"
Yu Li suppressed her anger: "Isn't she here?"
The rain said, "It came early this morning, took a quick look around, and then ran away. I was wondering why."
Not here? He ran away!
Yu Li hung up the phone and was about to call Chen Yan's house again.
Yu Wanlin couldn't stand it anymore: "It's right in the backyard, can't you even walk a few steps? Phone calls are so expensive!"
Yu Li's thoughts were thrown off balance by that shout...
At Chen Yan's house, the door was locked tight, and the family members were nowhere to be found.
Yu Li wasn't surprised at all; they were avoiding her.
As for where they went, there are many places to go.
My parents' house, Qinlonghu's place, Yu Qian's place, and if all else fails, there's always the parts factory...
Yu Li kicked the door twice in anger before leaving reluctantly.
This scene was witnessed by Liu Guangtian, who had just come out of the small house, and he couldn't wait to go home and report it to Liu Haizhong:
"Dad, guess what I just saw?"
Liu Haizhong cursed irritably, "Get lost!"
"It's done! It really is done!" Liu Guangtian thought to himself, "You just wait," and left with a dark face.
Outside the door, Liu Guangfu looked at him with a mocking expression: "My good brother, why did you have to go and provoke Dad again?"
Liu Guangtian walked up to him and whispered, "I just saw Yu Li kicking down Chen Yan's door..."
"What did you say? They're...fighting amongst themselves?"
"Hmph, what does their infighting have to do with us? I went in just now to tell that old man about it, and you saw what happened, they don't treat us like human beings at all!"
Liu Guangfu spat on the ground with a "pui" sound: "Since the boss isn't coming back, he's taking it out on us. If it weren't for the money, I would have left long ago!"
Liu Guangtian crossed his arms and said, "Who says otherwise? Let me tell you, we can't keep living at the mercy of others."
Liu Guangfu seemed thoughtful: "You mean?"
Liu Guangtian covered his mouth with his hand and muttered, "After working with them for so long, we both know the ropes. It's just dealing in in-demand goods, right?"
Liu Guangfu continued, "We've paved the way, it's time to ditch Dad and that old codger Third Uncle, and go it alone!"
Liu Guangtian slammed his fist into his palm: "That's right, let's team up with Yan Jiefang and his brother, and snatch this business from them. Why should we only deserve to eat scraps? From now on, we'll live the high life!"
Liu Guangfu grinned obsequiously, "Okay, brother, I'll do whatever you say!"
"..."
As for Yu Li, unable to find Chen Yan, she had nowhere to vent her anger and could only return unwillingly.
As I passed by the Intermediate People's Court, Qin Huairu was coming out of the house.
Yu Li glanced at her and saw that she was wearing a brown, dowdy coat with sleeves on her arms, her pants were so baggy they were almost like pockets, and she was even wearing a pair of cloth shoes!
Yu Li suddenly felt much better. She didn't even glance at Qin Huairu and walked past her with her head held high.
Qin Huairu certainly saw Yu Li too, but after looking at Yu Li and then at Qin Huairu, her eyebrows involuntarily stood up again.
Qin Huairu was already in a bad mood today, and Huaihua came back to pick up her grandmother.
No wonder she's the one who's "most like" her; she's even more of an ingrate than Xiao Dang. After getting married, she didn't even come back for the three-day homecoming ceremony!
He actually came back today, and he came back alone. He entered the courtyard but didn't go into the Jia family's house at all.
Instead, she sent a child to her house to call Jia Zhangshi out for a while.
Jia Zhangshi followed the child outside in a daze. Who would bother looking for her if they had nothing better to do?
When they saw Huaihua and her husband, they suddenly realized, "You silly girl, why didn't you come inside when you got home? You were playing tricks on your grandma."
Huaihua pouted: "What else could it be? She doesn't want to see my mom, of course. All she ever does when she sees me is ask for money. Oh well, let's not talk about her anymore. Grandma, come with us quickly, Yu Qian is driving. Today, our whole family is going to Badaling for a trip!"
