Chapter 22: Action
Du Ruo wanted this house for a reason. Not long after she lost Xiaozhe and left here, she heard from her fellow villagers that the Han family had become rich.
Originally, Han's family was going to move to Hong Kong and wanted to sell the house, but for some reason, it was not sold in the end.
It seems that Han's father said he wanted to leave a way out, so he left it there. But later on, when he moved, how many millions was given directly?
Now that Han Ming is in a hurry to get a divorce, don't blame her for asking for some benefits. If not for herself, then for her son.
Besides, if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re a bastard. Even God would be angry if you don’t take advantage of a scumbag.
As for how the Han family would buy a house in the future without the relocation money, that was none of her business.
Seeing Du Ruo remained silent, Han's father said earnestly, "Second brother's family, it is absolutely impossible for Second Brother to come back now. It is useless for you to look for him. Even if there is a big fight in the end, you can't bring Han Ming back."
Du Ruo thought, why did I bring him back? To make myself look disgusted?
Du Ruo's expression softened a little, and Han's father was delighted. He continued, "I also know that you and my grandson have been wronged over the years because of the second son's matter. Han Ming is sorry for you, but you should also think more about the children."
He added, "For the sake of my grandson, I agree that this courtyard house will be given to you and your mother to live in, but you have to cooperate with the second son in getting a divorce. If you don't, the second son won't be able to come back, and the house won't be given to you to live in."
Du Ruo seemed to be in a dilemma. She thought for a long time and said, "You are forcing me. You mean, I will have nothing at all? What's wrong with that?"
This is the expression on Han's father's face.
Du Ruo said helplessly, "I have to agree even if I don't want to. Okay, but I have a condition. You have to transfer the house to me first, and then I can go through the divorce procedures with Han Ming."
Father Han smiled and said readily, "No problem."
After Du Ruo left, the whole Han family was very happy that the matter was finally resolved.
Han Yan said with some worry: "Dad, are we just going to give this house to them? What if we can't make it in Hong Kong? Where will we live when we come back? Or you can ask the second brother?"
Han's father frowned and said, "It's the same with the second son. Why don't we all just stay away and call the second son to tell him, and let him come back and solve it himself.
If our whole family goes there and the mother and daughter can't handle it, and if there's a commotion and they bring the second child back, won't we all have to go back home in disgrace?"
Han Yan was startled. He said hesitantly, "Didn't the second son marry the eldest daughter of the Qu family?"
Han's father said, "What's the point of getting married? Didn't the second son get married? Didn't he marry someone else anyway? Rich people are ruthless and turn their faces against you. Who will you talk to then?"
Besides, if the second brother's family starts making trouble, we won't be able to leave now. I heard that Hong Kong City is full of gold, so why worry about not being able to make money?"
Han Yan nodded and said, "Dad, you are right. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child."
Father Han said: "That's the truth."
Du Ruo feels very satisfied with the speed at which she has been making money recently, but she still needs to work harder.
Early in the morning on the third day, Du Ruo went to Lina Cafe with her things.
Nowadays, things are becoming more open and lively, and the names of various coffee shops are also very fashionable.
Of course, there are also very down-to-earth ones. Du Ruo saw a hotel with a very domineering name, Dafa Restaurant. You can tell at a glance that the owner has a straightforward personality and does not beat around the bush.
Not many people come to drink coffee at this time. Who comes to drink this so early in the morning?
Du Ruo found a seat by the window, ordered a cup of coffee, and stared at the people outside the window in a depressed daze.
When she was at work yesterday, she sat on the chair in front of the window and watched the stones being moved all day. After watching for so many days, she didn't pick up a single leak, which was so depressing.
She wondered if she should go to the larger gambling market on Antique Street to take a look.
I won’t talk about whether it’s money or not. After a long time, her fingers will become stiff and she has to work.
Du Ruo was staring at the crowd in a daze when she heard a light cough beside her. She turned her head and saw two gay men standing next to the table.
One of them asked, "Excuse me, is this Comrade Du?"
Du Ruo nodded.
The man smiled and said, "This is our CEO Yang, and I'm Xiao Zhang."
Du Ruo stood up and said, "Hello, both of you."
After they sat down, Mr. Yang smiled and said, "Assistant Bai called and Mr. Yuan said that as long as there is no problem with your stuff, we will take it all and give you a good price."
Du Ruo didn't waste any more words. He reached out and pushed the box on the table, then drank his coffee without saying anything.
Xiao Zhang glanced at Mr. Yang, reached out to open the box, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
My goodness, such precious imperial green jadeite is placed in a cookie box and wrapped in a torn towel. What does Ms. Du think?
What else could Du Ruo think? She likes to carve jadeite, and every piece of her work is her own.
When the daughter of a noble family gets married, if she has money, she will definitely dress her up nicely. But she has no money, right? Then she can just leave it to her husband's family.
Even though she wasn't given a tattered towel to wear when she got married, it wasn't much better.
Xiao Zhang was assessing everything, occasionally discussing a few words with Mr. Yang.
Du Ruo pretended not to hear. She drank her coffee and stared out the window in a daze.
After a long time, Mr. Yang coughed and said, "Ms. Du, this piece of imperial green jadeite is of high quality, although not the best. If it is matched with your carving skills, I will pay you two hundred thousand."
Du Ruo nodded when he heard this. It was about the same. If it were twenty years later, it would cost tens of millions. But in the late 1980s, this price was fair.
Seeing that Du Ruo had no objection, President Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Ms. Du would be a difficult person, and if Mr. Yuan had something to say again, he would be really embarrassed.
He reached out and picked up the black gold glaze bowl and said, "This is a black gold glaze from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The glaze color is uniform and well preserved, but there are many black gold glazes in existence. We can only give you 100,000."
He added: "I have initially determined that this Fengzhou hairpin is from the Ming Dynasty. I will offer 200,000 yuan for it. If Ms. Du has any objections, we can discuss it. To be honest, the other items are not worth much."
Du Ruo knew that this hairpin was indeed from the Ming Dynasty, and the prices given by Mr. Yang were generally a little high, of course, considering the prices of that era.
Du Ruo nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go with the price you said."
Mr. Yang took out a check, filled in the number carefully, and handed it to Du Ruo with both hands: "Ms. Du, it's a pleasure to work with you. Mr. Yuan has already said that if you have anything to sell in the future, just come to me."
He saw Du Ruo take the check with both hands, take out a business card from his pocket and put it on the table.
