As soon as she said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at Shen Rongrong in surprise.
"Rongrong, don't say that." Captain Dong's wife Wang Xiuyan quickly winked at her: "How could the things Captain Wu bought be fake!"
"It might be fake." Shen Rongrong said firmly: "It's not even jade."
Ge Mei's face changed instantly, and she shook the thing in anger: "Don't talk nonsense, how can this be fake? My old Wu spent so much money to buy it!"
Others also echoed: "Yes, how can you say it's fake? You are young and don't understand." "Don't talk nonsense, how can the things in Mrs. Wu's house be fake!"
“I really don’t understand, but the real good things don’t have this kind of brightness. Jade is formed over thousands of years. Even if it is translucent, it is not this kind of translucent. The luster will be more natural, and it will feel very delicate to the touch…” The most important thing is that it really has no spiritual energy at all.
Ge Mei still didn't believe it. She was a little bit fat and was panting angrily: "You are just talking nonsense! I don't believe it! There is no way my old Wu would buy a fake thing!"
"Then you can ask someone to take a look! If you can find the boss..."
As Shen Rongrong was talking, Ge Mei suddenly raised her voice: "What do you know, little girl? How old are you? You are pretending to know something when you don't!"
Captain Wang's wife raised her hand to try to reconcile them: "Don't say that. I heard from my wife that Xiao Chen's grandfather used to run a pawnshop and donated a lot of money to the country... Maybe she knows him, too."
"Xiao Chen is Xiao Chen! Her husband's grandfather is not her grandfather!"
Shen Rongrong looked at the countless pairs of eyes around her staring at her at the same time, while Shen Yueying, who was not far away, had a look of gloating on her face.
She could only sigh: "Well, if you don't believe me, find someone who knows the business to take a look... I have the best eyes. If the value of this thing is more than two dollars, I will pay you the amount that exceeds the limit."
"You're paying for nothing! Your family is so poor that they even sold their daughter! And you think we don't know..." Ge Mei picked up her jade and turned around and left.
Some of the other women went after Ge Mei, while others stayed to comfort Shen Rongrong, saying that she just had that kind of temper and that she shouldn't be like her. If she didn't go out for three days, she would be fine.
Shen Rongrong really didn't take it seriously. She just picked up the beans beside her and said, "Madam Wang, can you teach me how to cook beans?"
…
When Chen Yu came back in the evening, he heard about this incident as soon as he entered the yard.
When she was found, she was standing next to the public stove, watching Captain Wang's wife stewing beans.
"When you are ready to serve, don't open the pot in a hurry, let it open slowly... that way the pancakes inside will taste good. This is called a good harvest, or a bumper harvest. In the past, when there was no food, it was a blessing to be able to eat a pot like this in autumn."
"It's delicious now, too." Shen Rongrong nodded seriously. When she saw Chen Yu coming up the stairs not far away, she suddenly asked, "By the way, sister-in-law, how many years has Captain Wang been a soldier?"
"That's a long time ago... He joined the army when he was young, and it's been more than 20 years now. He's almost as old as your father-in-law."
"So how many years has he been battalion commander?"
"Haha..." When mentioning this, Ma Hui couldn't help but laugh at her lover and whispered, "Half of his military service has been spent as a battalion commander."
You have been a battalion commander for more than ten years?
Shen Rongrong saw Chen Yu standing not far away, and smiled as she leaned over to the pot to smell the aroma, saying to this guy who proposed a "contract marriage until he becomes the head of the group" yesterday.
"Many things are ranked according to seniority. Maybe your lover will be promoted to brigade commander in the blink of an eye?"
"I found that you are quite good at talking." Captain Wang's wife said to her as she served the beans: "Why were you so direct with Xiao Ge this afternoon? Xiu Yan kept winking at you, but you didn't notice anything."
"I can't talk." Shen Rongrong shrugged and sighed helplessly: "That thing is fake."
"What if she also knows it's fake? What if she just wants to show off? Sometimes you don't have to be so real, just go along with it."
"I don't think so. She also wore a small jade bean on her hand, which was also fake. Who would wear so many fake things on their body? Someone must have been deceiving her. If she doesn't know, it's not good for everyone to laugh at her behind her back."
"You kid..."
Captain Wang’s wife didn’t know what to say, but Shen Rongrong should also tell the reason why she stuck to her today.
"Sister Wang, I have a secret to tell you."
"you say."
"Your family has a happy event recently... a very big happy event. Your family's leader is really going to become a brigade... hey hey hey..."
As she was speaking, the old man who had stopped in his tracks because of the topic about the battalion commander came over quickly, grabbed her by the back of her collar, and pulled her back a step like a cat.
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. She is young and doesn't understand."
"That's nothing. Who doesn't like to hear good things? It's not sensible to praise my family for good things... It's just a lucky thing." Ma Hui handed him the stewed beans and pancakes with a smile, and hinted: "It's mainly about the wife of Old Wu's family... You know it, right? We have to deal with it properly."
"I know."
As soon as he came back, he heard that his young wife pretended to be knowledgeable and said that the things of Captain Wu’s wife were fake.
Chen Yu believed her. After all, he had seen her abilities. However, saying it so directly would indeed make people feel embarrassed.
At this time, Captain Wu just happened to come back.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the yard, he was caught by his fat wife, who raised his ear and started scolding him!
"Tell me the truth, is this thing real? Someone said today that the thing you gave me was fake! I was wondering why you were so kind! You bought me such a beautiful thing in such a special occasion! So you were lying to me, right?!"
"Look at what you have done." Chen Yu held her in his arms and leaned against the window to watch this ridiculous scene. He had a helpless look on his face and his chin resting on the top of her head.
Shen Rongrong's neck was pressed hard, and she puffed up her cheeks and snorted, "I did do a good thing... at least I exposed a liar."
"They have a good relationship. What if they quarrel after you tell them the truth?"
"A good relationship is a good relationship, and it will never go bad. But a fake good relationship is not good." Shen Rongrong argued, and said: "Captain Wu loves his wife very much, and he would not buy fake goods to deceive his wife, so it must be a liar who deceived him. I am helping him, and they will not quarrel."
"You don't even know him, you know?"
"Of course I know. He and you are from the same hometown. His wife has a weak constitution and almost died from heavy bleeding while giving birth to his child. He sat at the door of the delivery room and cried. He loves his wife so much!"
Chen Yu didn't know where she knew these things, but what she said was indeed true.
It is taboo for men to shed tears, especially for soldiers. They will not tell others about it as a good deed, so it is something only a few people know.
Shen Rongrong did not tell him that she had read the entire book, and knowing the names of everyone who was not too marginal, everything in life would be clear before her eyes.
The plot is that a few years later, Wu's wife suddenly fell ill. When her children cashed in the treasures their father had bought for her over the years, they found out that they were all fake. The family had no extra money, and it was too late to ask Chen Yu to borrow money, so they missed the best time for treatment...
Everyone said that Old Wu bought fake goods to deceive his wife, and everyone said that Mrs. Wu had no money but loved to show off, but no one ever told her that her things were not real.
What she was showing off was clearly her husband's love, not his possessions. Old Wu had always loved her with real heart and nothing was fake.
It is obvious that scammers are the most hateful, bullying the uncouth people who don’t understand these things.
Shen Rongrong was not in a hurry anyway. She knew that the truth would come out sooner or later, so she sat quietly by the window with her chin resting on her hand, waiting for the development of events.
Soon, Captain Wu brought the seller over and said, "Tell my wife about this! You said this is real! It was your old lady's treasure! You took it out and re-inlaid it with silver to sell it! You charged me a total of 360 yuan!"
