As they walked out of the ghost market, Lin Xue was carrying four or five bags, Lin Haotian was carrying seven or eight bags, while Lin An'an was empty-handed.
"An'an has so many things, didn't you like any of them?"
Lin Xue glanced at Lin An'an, who was empty-handed, and even Lin Haotian couldn't resist buying a few items. How come her friend was as stingy as a miser?
"I don't understand these things. They're so old, how can they be as good as new ones? Even if I were to buy something, I would buy a new one!"
Hearing her words, Lin Xue and Lin Haotian exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"An'an, don't you understand the value of antiques?"
"If the first bowl Xiaoxue bought is real, it could sell for tens of millions!"
Seeing his eldest daughter being so stingy, Lin Haotian couldn't help but facepalm.
His eldest daughter is so insecure; she has so much pocket money, yet she won't spend a single penny.
The items here aren't actually expensive; most people buy them hoping to find a bargain, and the stall owners don't really sell them as genuine goods.
Isn't the gamble all about the "what if"?
"But it has to be real, anyway, I'm not interested in these things!"
Lin An'an simply did not believe that Lin Xue and Lin Haotian could buy genuine products.
In her mind, everything in this entire ghost market was fake.
If there were genuine items, those veteran players would have bought them long ago; how could it possibly be their turn?
It has to be said that Lin An'an's personality, although she may miss out on a lot of windfall gains, will not suffer any losses.
By the time the three of them got home, it was already past four in the morning.
After Lin An'an returned, she went to her room to wash up and go to bed. Since it was Saturday and she didn't have to go to school, she could get up a little later.
Lin Xue and Lin Haotian sat in the living room and placed the things they had bought on the table.
"Xiaoxue, when did you learn how to appraise antiques?"
How can you guarantee that everything you buy is genuine?
The house was brighter, and Lin Haotian played with the things he had found, carefully examining them again and again.
"I haven't specifically studied this, but I've always been lucky. Since these things appeal to me, they must not be fakes!"
Lin Xue's explanation was so powerful that Lin Haotian didn't know what to say.
"Okay, it's not much money anyway, I'll just buy it for fun!"
"I'll call a few old friends in the antique appraisal world later and ask them to come over and take a look at your items. Do you want them appraised as well?"
Lin Haotian found a soft towel from somewhere and carefully wiped his treasures.
"Okay, let's have it appraised together!"
"Dad, once the test results are in, could you help me sell these things?"
Lin Xue simply took the treasures on a whim; these things were really of no use to her.
"Haha, it seems my Xiaoxue is quite confident!"
Lin Haotian did not refuse. After wiping his own treasures, he picked up the ones Lin Xue had bought and examined them carefully.
"Ha~ Ah..."
"I'm leaving Dad here with you. I need to go back to my room and catch up on some sleep!"
Lin Xue yawned deeply, glanced at her father who was still fiddling with those real and fake antiques, and lost interest in staying with Lin Haotian any longer. She simply said goodbye and went back to her room.
I took a hot shower in the bathroom first, then closed the door and went to sleep.
"Knock knock knock..."
Around 8 a.m., Lin Xue was woken up by a knock on her door.
"Xiaoxue, hurry up and get up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, we need to go to the hospital with Dad to visit Uncle!"
Lin An'an's voice came from the doorway. Lin Xue rolled over a couple of times in annoyance, then scratched her head.
"Ugh, I'm so sleepy!"
After yawning several times, she finally opened her bedroom door, albeit unsteadily.
Lin An'an looked at Lin Xue, whose hair was a mess, and who was yawning so frequently that two tears even welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"What time did you go to sleep this morning? You look like a teenager who hasn't slept for three days and is still addicted to the internet!"
Lin An'an reached out and tidied Lin Xue's hair, then pushed her into the bathroom.
Seeing that Lin An'an had already squeezed out the toothpaste for her, what could Lin Xue say? Let's start washing up!
After coming out of the washroom, Lin Xue felt much more refreshed. After changing into a more formal outfit, she followed Lin An'an downstairs.
Lin Haotian and Lin Shengnan were already waiting in the lobby on the first floor, while Zhao Yue had left early in the morning, saying she was going to get her nails done and have some treatments.
The four ate breakfast in silence, and then Lin Haotian took his three children to the hospital.
My great-uncle has been moved to a regular deluxe private room, and there aren't as many people outside the ward anymore.
Perhaps seeing that Old Master Lin was not seriously ill, everyone went back to attend to their own affairs.
Lin Haotian and his three children were ushered inside as soon as they arrived.
"I heard that it was you who brought the wild ginseng king last night that saved the old man's life?"
Old Master Lin is a very kind old man, but this is only when he is facing younger people like Lin Xue.
When he spoke alone with Lin Haotian and his generation, he was still very authoritative.
At least in Lin Xue's eyes, none of those elders dared to be presumptuous in front of Old Master Lin.
Even her father acted obediently in front of Old Master Lin.
"You flatter me. I just happened to come across this, and I thought it might be useful to you, so I brought it over!"
...
Lin Haotian and Old Lin chatted for a while longer, but the Lin sisters mostly couldn't understand what they were saying.
Lin Xue, in particular, didn't want to understand what the two were saying at all.
It's like playing a riddle; you say something and I answer something else, and the two of us actually get along quite well.
It seems this is family jargon, which Lin Haotian never taught her, but Lin Shengnan next to her seemed to understand it.
Seeing this, Lin Xue still had some questions. It turned out that this was a secret code passed down only to men in the Lin family!
Old Master Lin spoke with Lin Haotian for a while, and also gave Lin Shengnan words of encouragement, such as urging him to strive for improvement.
Finally, their gaze fell upon Lin Xue and Lin An'an.
"It's been so long! Our little girl has grown so much!"
Old Master Lin waved in Lin Xue's direction, and she immediately walked obediently to his side.
"Uncle, are you feeling any better?"
Lin Xue carefully observed the old man's expression and found that his complexion was rosy, so he should be fine.
The old man was over 80 years old, and he could live one day at a time. Lin Xue also knew that one couldn't ask too much of an elderly person.
Although she still had spiritual spring water that could change a person's constitution and allow the old man to live a few more years, she didn't dare to take it out openly.
It all depends on fate. If it's meant to be, she won't begrudge the bowl or two of spiritual spring water. If it's not meant to be, then she can only let nature take its course.
