"Money! You're talking about money again. We're brothers, just cousins. You can't write two Chu characters with one stroke," Chu Dahai said from the side. "Brother Nancheng, don't take it too seriously. Even though we're poor, we still have enough money to buy two plastic dolls. It's really because Pi Dan likes your two dolls, and it means he thinks highly of you. Even if he broke them, what's the big deal?"
"Something worth two thousand eight hundred yuan was broken just like that. Dahai, your son is really generous. I can't even get that much money in my monthly salary." The money Chu Nancheng used to buy these things was all his royalties.
The money used to buy these two figures was from Chu Nancheng's first work. In order to write this book, Chu Nancheng didn't go out to play for a whole six months and often stayed up late. It can be said that every word he wrote was a tear.
"Haha, Brother Nancheng, you really know how to joke. This broken thing should be about two dollars each, but you ask for a sky-high price." Chu Dahai was shocked at first, but after he figured it out, he could laugh.
"What the preserved egg broke wasn't a plastic model," Su Nian said, knowing a bit about figurines. "What the preserved egg broke was a handmade resin model, the raw materials for this thing are imported."
"Then it was polished piece by piece by hand, following the image from the animation. This figure of Nancheng took over half a year to make and is a masterpiece. As far as I know, he bought it quite a while ago and it was sold for 2,800 yuan at the time."
"If you want to buy the same figure on the market now, the price is about 8,000 yuan." Su Nian lightly revealed the price of the figure.
Seeing that Su Nian didn't look like he was joking, Chu Dahai and his family were a little nervous. This was a sky-high price.
But after thinking it over, Chu Dahai felt that he couldn't take the blame. "Okay, brothers, stop talking nonsense. I did go into your room this afternoon and saw that the plastic model was broken by Pi Dan. The child is here, so you can do whatever you want!"
After saying this, Chu Dahai pulled his wife upstairs, but was stopped by Chu Nancheng, "You haven't finished talking yet. There's also a necklace. Where is it?"
Chu Dahai gritted his teeth and said, "My wife thought it was good and has already taken it. What if you give it to her as a meeting gift?"
Chu Nancheng shook his head and said, "No, this thing is not mine. It belongs to my wife Wu Lan. You have to take off the necklace and give it to me now, and you have to compensate me according to the price of the figurine."
Hearing this, Chu Dahai's eyes widened in surprise. His father, Chu Yinghao, couldn't sit still anymore. He ran over and pointed at Chu Nancheng's nose and scolded him, "You are obsessed with money. Dahai is your brother, and you want to pay the price for a little plastic doll."
Chu Nancheng nodded. "Taking something without permission is stealing. You must compensate me according to the price, otherwise I will call the police and accuse you of stealing my things."
"He's rebelling, he's simply about to rebel," Chu Yinghao ran to Chu's father, cursing, "Brother, please control your son. It's just that Pi Dan was naughty and broke something, but he's making a big deal out of it. He's talking about compensation and calling the police. We can't let outsiders laugh at us."
Father Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "Return the necklace first, and we'll discuss other things later."
For Chu's father, although Chu Yinghao is his biological brother, Chu Nancheng is his biological son. Now that his biological son has been wronged, as a father he cannot take sides no matter what, otherwise it will inevitably affect his relationship with his child.
