Chapter 399: Little coward, looks brave
Bai Lianwan looked quite aggressive when she said these harsh words, and Ji Chen was a little confused.
He was stunned for a moment, but sensing the little body in his arms that was still a little unsteady, he smiled and said, "You little coward, you look quite brave."
Bai Lianwan was not convinced and said, "Just wait for me."
Ji Chen didn't take it seriously at all, and still cooperated, "Okay, I'll wait."
If the time was not ripe, he would not be willing to wait.
By the time this little coward gets brave enough, how long will it take?
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Ji Chen heard the noise and whispered to Bai Lianwan, "Can you stand still? My mother is here."
Bai Lianwan was a little panicked, and said stubbornly, "Where...where can I stand steadily?"
Ji Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll let go."
After saying that, he loosened his hand around the girl's waist, but before he left, a white little hand rested on his arm, looking at him with embarrassment, anger, and a bit of a plea for help.
Ji Chen supported Bai Lianwan and leaned forward so that the little girl could lean on his arms. He smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't you standing steadily?"
Bai Lianwan's ears turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered, "It's not you..."
Although she didn't want to admit it, she always felt that Ji Chen was a natural flirt, and that she became weird because of him.
As soon as Bai Lianwan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Li Suying's voice also came.
"Wanwan, son, it's time for dinner."
When Bai Lianwan heard Li Suying's voice, her eyebrows slightly frowned and she felt a little nervous unconsciously. She felt that if her aunt saw her current state, she would definitely know that she had just kissed Ji Chen... She would not be able to face anyone at all!
She almost instinctively looked up at Ji Chen, looking at him with a look of help, completely losing the attitude she had when she pulled Ji Chen into the room.
Ji Chen was almost amused by the little coward in his arms. He reached out and pinched her cheek as punishment, then said to Li Suying outside the door, "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
After that, he lowered his head and whispered to Bai Lianwan, "Okay, don't be nervous, I'll take you out. Otherwise, if you stay for too long, Mom will really think we're up to something."
After hearing Ji Chen's words, Bai Lianwan took two deep breaths and nodded, "Just a little while longer."
After almost a minute, Bai Lianwan felt a little better. Ji Chen then let her go and went to open the bedroom door.
At this moment, Li Suying just turned around and was about to leave when she heard some movement behind her. She turned around and saw two people coming out of the bedroom.
When her eyes fell on Bai Lianwan, whose face was still slightly flushed, she frowned unconsciously and cast an unfriendly look at her son.
This brat, it’s almost time for dinner, why did he drag Wanwan into the room? It looks like he is bullying her again!
Ji Chen felt his mother's gaze and could guess what she was thinking at a glance. He was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He was dragged into the room by this girl today, so he didn't act like a hooligan, did he?
However, Li Suying did not give Ji Chen a chance to explain. She shook her head in disgust and then said to Bai Lianwan, "Wanwan, let's go eat."
Bai Lianwan heard Li Suying's words and nodded quickly, "Okay."
Ji Chen sighed helplessly and followed the two of them.
Today was another day when he was wrongly accused because his mother looked at him with tinted glasses.
Today's lunch was very rich. Except for the tomato and egg soup which was a little unsatisfactory in taste, the other dishes were very good.
While eating, Ji Chen thought of Zhang Qiang and asked Li Suying, "Mom, how is Zhang Qiang now?"
Li Suying sighed and said, "He's still in the intensive care unit, but his life is no longer in danger. However... his spinal nerves are severely damaged, and he may be paralyzed for life."
Hearing Li Suying's words, Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan were both slightly stunned.
Bai Lianwan also knew something about Zhang Qiang's affairs. He had no parents, only a one-month-old child and a wife.
If he becomes paralyzed, how will he raise his children in the future?
Ji Chen couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. Although this kind of thing happens every day in the world, after actually coming into contact with someone and hearing the news, he still couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted.
However, my spinal nerves are damaged, and I don’t know if the physical condition improvement potion will be useful.
He calmly opened the system mall and took a look.
He had 1,300 merit points left from donating clothes to poor areas, and later he saved the girl who was bullied by gangsters, which gave him another 900 merit points. He took a look before coming back and saw that he only had 2,000 merit points at that time.
It seems like Zhang Qiang was rescued just yesterday, and now the number has suddenly jumped to over 4,000.
However... the physical fitness improvement potion requires 5000 merit points.
It may take some time to redeem it.
If the merit points are full in the future and Zhang Qiang still hasn't gotten better, he can give it a try.
…
After dinner, Ji Chen thought about contacting the owner of the seal in his hand. After saying goodbye to his parents, he took Bai Lianwan out of the house and drove away.
In the car, Bai Lianwan learned the price of the official seal from Ji Chen and was shocked for a while.
What kind of eyes does Ji Chen have?
He can actually identify those seemingly insignificant but valuable things at a glance!
It's outrageous!
A little before two in the afternoon.
The two arrived at their destination.
After getting off the bus, Ji Chen took the stamp and some fruits he bought on the way, came to his aunt's house, and stepped into the yard.
As the two men walked into the yard, an old man with a crew cut, gray hair, a thin and dark face appeared in front of them.
At this moment, the other party was about to go out. Seeing two unfamiliar young faces in the yard, he was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Who are you..."
As the man asked, a woman came out of the house. Seeing Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan, a smile suddenly appeared on her face and she greeted them, "You're back."
The woman walked over to the man and said to him, "This is the guy who found the phone and his girlfriend. He was the one who said he wanted to take the thing you found back home to study it."
After hearing what his wife said, the latter looked Ji Chen up and down carefully and said, "Are you...are you okay?"
He was wondering how he could get out of the car so quickly after such a serious accident, but now he saw that he looked like nothing had happened.
When Ji Chen heard what his uncle said, he smiled and said, "I'm fine. It was someone else who got into the accident. I helped rescue him and dropped my phone at the scene."
The uncle suddenly realized what was going on, patted his forehead, and said a little embarrassedly, "Oh, look at my broken mouth, I'm glad you're safe."
Ji Chen smiled calmly, looked at the two of them, and said, "Are you going out now?"
The uncle nodded and said, "I'm just about to go out and sell all the scraps in the yard to get through this year's Lunar New Year."
After hearing what their uncle said, Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan looked at the packed waste cartons in the yard and were slightly surprised.
Bai Lianwan frowned slightly and said, "Are you just going to sell these things for the New Year?"
The uncle grinned and said, "Yeah, but it's just the two of us old people. We can get some meat by selling some scraps, so we can eat it casually."
Although the woman didn't say anything, her eyes were obviously moist and her expression was gloomy.
Ji Chen frowned and asked the two of them, "Auntie, Uncle, are you two the only ones spending the New Year together?"
The uncle sighed when he heard Ji Chen's words, "Well, two months ago, the second brother died of illness, and the eldest brother..."
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Don't mention him. Since he thinks we're a burden to him, I can just pretend I don't have this son."
Although they didn't know the specific situation, after hearing what the two elders said, Ji Chen and Bai Lianwan could roughly guess something.
No wonder the couple is so poor even though the village is so well developed. They must have spent a lot of money on treating their second son.
But these are not the main points. The main thing is that he came today to ask the two elders if they wanted to sell the engraved seal.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen took out the seal and said to the two of them, "Uncle, Auntie, can I have a few minutes of your time? I want to talk to you about this thing."
The woman quickly realized what was happening and said, "Oh, yes, I'll also refund you the 3,000 yuan."
Talking about her sons just now made her a little sad, so she forgot about it.
The man also said, "If you like this thing, just take it. There's no need for a deposit."
The things he picked up on the roadside while collecting waste would probably be worth less than 10 yuan even if he sold them by weight.
Although he is poor, he is still willing to give it away if others like it.
Ji Chen smiled and said, "I don't dare to accept such a valuable thing."
precious?
Is this thing really valuable?
The two were slightly stunned.
The woman looked at Ji Chen and asked, "How valuable is this thing?"
The uncle's face was filled with disbelief and he asked in surprise, "You're not going to tell me it's worth tens of thousands, are you?"
If that were true, he would be reluctant to give it away.
After all... he still owes a lot of debts and his family is barely making ends meet.
Ji Chen laughed when he heard his uncle's words, "It's more than tens of thousands. This is an official seal of the Jin Dynasty. My friend is very interested in it and is willing to buy it for 2.2 million. I wonder if you are willing to sell it for 10,000 yuan."
Uncle: “Huh?”
Auntie: "Two...two million and two hundred thousand?"
