Then I went out gambling all day long, letting everyone know that I was a spendthrift. I lost all the family property. When the class status was determined, I was left with an empty house. I gave the house to the government, hoping that I could be classified as a poor peasant. The government agreed.
Who knew that one of my servants would report me for enslaving and exploiting his family? Even after I spent all my wealth, I still got a piece of the pie. "Old Man Guan still can't sleep when he thinks about it now. He didn't treat his family members unfairly when he sent them away, but he didn't expect to be bitten back.
The third brother scratched his head and said, "What's going on with those things?"
"I think that man looks a lot like Zhao Yu, the servant who reported me. When I donated the house, it was empty. I don't know when those things disappeared, but I'm sure I didn't sell those porcelains. They must have been stolen. Our Guan family is about to be exterminated now, and it's all because of this servant. I have no reconciliation with him."
There was murderous intent in the old man Guan's cloudy eyes, which made him live like a rat for half his life. If he had not been reported, it would have been natural for him to get married and have children because of his poor peasant background. How could he not hate him? He had been picking up scraps in the city for many years and had been looking for Zhao Yu, but unfortunately he never found him.
"What should we do now? Should we follow him secretly, or what?" Seeing Old Man Guan like this, the third brother recalled how he looked when he first met Old Man Guan. If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed long ago due to such a blow.
Old man Guan leaned against the city wall and calmed down for a while. "Let's go and take a look."
Zhao Xiaochuan asked worriedly, "Are you still going? He won't recognize you, right?"
"I've gotten into this state, and my dad might not even recognize me. If he was from Zhao's family, he would still be a kid when he left home. Besides, they all thought I wouldn't be alive today."
Old Man Guan smiled sarcastically, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front. The third brother and Zhao Xiaochuan hurriedly followed.
A few people came back, and the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. There was hope.
The flashlight was turned on again, and Old Man Guan looked at it carefully again, the style, seal, body, and glaze, and confirmed that it was the set from their family. He counted 8864 pieces, which was a complete set, well preserved, without any defects or conflicts.
Old man Guan doesn't come here often and doesn't know sign language. He asked in a low voice, "Boss, what's the price?"
The middle-aged man has been here for three days. Most people can't buy so many, and they are not valuable if sold individually, so they have not been sold yet.
He held up two fingers and said "100"
Old man Guan... Damn, this whole set is only worth a hundred dollars. I really haven't met anyone who knows its value.
"One hundred, I want them all." Old man Guan chopped at the ankle.
Middle-aged man... "I'm not an old man, I don't bargain like that."
"If you think it's not suitable, then don't sell it. You have the things, but I didn't buy them. I have the money, so I think it's worth the money."
"One hundred is definitely not enough, four hundred, four hundred is the lowest." He asked for one thousand when he came on the first day. No one bought it in the past few days, so he cut the price in half. This old man is even more ruthless.
"One hundred 㩙"
"Four Hundred"
"One hundred and sixty"
"Four hundred" the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and refused to give in. This was his bottom price.
The third brother said, "Brother, who would buy this thing now? Only my old man thinks it's a set and it looks good when he brings it home. So, please give me some face and give me two hundred coins. Just consider it as making friends. If you have any good stuff, we'll buy it too."
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and said, "You're only two hundred. If it weren't for my son's wedding and the urgent need for money, I wouldn't sell it for even a thousand."
"Marrying a wife to continue the family line is important. These things are dead objects. If one is broken, they will be worthless." Zhao Xiaochuan also took advantage of the situation.
"Do you really want to buy it?" The middle-aged man was a little tempted. His son was getting married, and he needed to buy a house, a betrothal gift, and furniture. After three rounds of trading, it would cost four thousand yuan. Selling these things for four hundred yuan was still a long way off.
