Chapter 269 So expensive?
As the president of an art university, President Sun knows more than most people.
It takes a lot of effort to paint such a large painting.
In particular, he knew that Xiao Shi and Mr. Gao had signed a contract. He didn't know the specific content, but he was afraid that the other party would stipulate a delivery time, which would be troublesome.
Looking at the dirty painting, President Sun felt angry for Shi Tingyu.
But the painting has been dirty, I can only hope there is a way to salvage it.
In order to distance herself from the matter, Mrs. Cao hid far away after Li Kang entered the house.
When she heard the noise, she was delighted. It seemed that the naughty child was caught. Thinking of this, she held back the smile on her face and ran to the main hall. She wanted to see how the Li family would protect the child this time.
The Lu family was different from theirs. First, Lu Weiguo's position was higher than Li Dongsheng's. Secondly, Shi Tingyu's power was not to be underestimated, and her mother's family background was also very good.
She was a little afraid of the Li family, but the Lu family had the confidence to confront the other party.
It was only when she arrived at the main hall that she found that everyone was gathered in the west room. She couldn't help but frown. Didn't they imply that the child went to the east room? Why did he run to the west room?
What could be in the west room? It was just the things of the old couple.
Because the crowd was so crowded, Cao couldn't see what was going on inside. She couldn't help but grab the tall and strong man in front of her and asked, "Why is there so much noise? What happened?"
The man looked at her and said, "The kid from the Li family broke into the house and destroyed Teacher Shi's painting. From what Aunt Lu said, the painting was ordered by someone else. I don't know how much it cost, but I guess it's not cheap."
Cao's originally disappointed mood immediately improved.
This was better than she expected.
A painting being destroyed is more serious than a child stealing a few candies.
Hiding her full joy, Cao's wife immediately said with regret: "That's terrible, will Teacher Shi lose money? I just don't know how much the painting cost?"
Cao's wife's voice came into the house, and everyone began to guess the value of the painting.
Liu Caixia's heart also skipped a beat.
But in front of everyone, it was her child who broke into the house, so she had to ask about it and solve the problem.
She looked around and didn't find Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu. At this time, she remembered that the two seemed to have gone to wash the dishes first.
She looked at Lu's mother, whose face was a little pale, and said sincerely: "Auntie, I'm so sorry. The child was ignorant and got into trouble. Do you know how much this painting costs? We will pay for it."
When she heard the other party mention money, Lu's mother's mind was the scene of asking her daughter-in-law how much the painting sold for that day.
How shocked she was at that time, how distressed she is now.
But now she can't care about hiding anything. If the goods are not delivered, her daughter-in-law will have to pay for it. She would be stupid to hide it.
"I asked Xiaoyu before, and someone wanted to buy this painting for three thousand."
Hiss!
As soon as Lu's mother said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Three thousand? !
Is this painting inlaid with gold?
Principal Sun and Teacher Qi were not surprised at all. In a few years, Teacher Shi's paintings will be more expensive.
"So expensive?" Liu Caixia was stunned. In her mind, this painting would cost at most one or two hundred yuan.
You know, her husband's monthly salary is only one hundred and one yuan now.
In her opinion, spending one or two months' salary on a painting is already a luxury.
Unexpectedly, this painting is three thousand.
If this is converted into bicycles, without tickets, there must be almost twenty of them!
How much does a house cost nowadays?
Even Li Dongsheng, who never felt that he was short of money, felt that the price was really too high.
Seeing that everyone thought it was expensive, Principal Sun couldn't help but speak up for Shi Tingyu.
"Teacher Shi painted this for a returned overseas Chinese. The overseas Chinese's lover had passed away long ago and there were no photos of him. The person in the painting was a portrait that Teacher Shi restored based on the overseas Chinese's description. The difficulty and effort involved are not comparable to ordinary paintings."
Everyone suddenly realized that there was such a secret in the middle.
They knew that some overseas Chinese were not short of money, and this was a portrait that Teacher Shi was specially asked to restore, so the price of three thousand was not so difficult to accept.
Principal Sun continued: "I remember that Teacher Shi and the client signed a contract, so there is no doubt about the value of this painting."
Principal Sun believed in the character of the Lu family and would not lie about the amount of the painting.
If the other party denied it, then Teacher Shi could completely show the contract to shut up the family.
But he thought the painting could still be salvaged, and estimated that he would not let the other party lose everything.
But he would not say this, and the teacher, the person involved, would have to make the decision on how to deal with it.
Mrs. Cao panicked when she heard that the painting was worth three thousand.
The greater the value, the greater the involvement. If it was only one or two hundred, the Li family would pay with gritted teeth, but this amount was too large. If the Li family was unwilling to pay, it would be difficult not to involve herself in the quarrel. The more
Mrs. Cao thought about it, the more panicked she became. She could only keep comforting herself, saying that it was okay, it was Li Kang who did it, and it had nothing to do with her. She just said that there might be candy in the room.
It was Li Kang himself who had evil intentions!
Yes! That's it!
Perhaps she had convinced herself, Cao's panicked heart finally settled down a little.
Although Liu Caixia was a college student, she applied to a normal university and didn't know much about paintings. After hearing Principal Sun testify to the value of the painting, she knew that the money Aunt Lu said must be true.
For a moment, she felt the blood rushing to her head and her head buzzing.
Looking at the child who was still crying, Liu Caixia was immediately furious. She grabbed the child's arm, bent over and hit him hard on the butt.
"Cry, cry, cry! You still have the nerve to cry! Look at how much trouble you have caused!"
Feng Wei frowned and handed the sword to Father Lu to watch. He found that the sword had not given up the idea of biting Li Kang.
Father Lu held Shen Shen in one hand and held the dog with the other hand. It was Aunt Qi who was afraid that the other party could not hold the dog with one hand, so she took Shen Shen over to hold.
As soon as Li Jian came to Father Lu's side, Father Lu felt its tension and immediately dared not be careless.
He heard Shi Tingyu mention Aunt Qi and knew that she often took care of Shen Shen, so he did not refuse.
Li Jian's eyes were sharp. He never thought that there would be a little kid in his territory and destroy his master's painting.
This is simply a slap in his face!
Father Lu thought more. This matter was obviously the other party's fault. If Li Jian bit someone, the fault would become theirs, so he must keep an eye on Li Jian.
Feng Wei stepped forward to stop Liu Caixia from beating the child.
Today is a very good day. We were originally very happy. Liu Caixia and her family were guests. Now this incident has ruined the atmosphere. The other party wants to beat the child at Lao Lu's house. How can this be allowed? If the child is not beaten, the little child will be so miserable that the guests will be soft-hearted. In the end, Lao Lu and his family, the victims, are in a dilemma.
The first thing now is to solve the problem, not to let her beat the child at Lao Lu's house.
