Chapter 168 Mother's Dowry
The man was silent for a moment after hearing this. He indeed did not spend 200 yuan, but received it for 100 yuan.
But I only make twenty bucks...
He looked at Chen Yi, and seeing her half-smile, he smiled awkwardly.
"Hehe... one hundred and twenty is a bit too little!" He couldn't just not make money because he felt embarrassed.
Chen Yi thought about it and said, "This is a lot. It's not easy to make money nowadays."
"How about this, I'll give you another two kilograms of sugar. This is my bottom line."
"If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do. I can only ask that person for it. Then I'll report it to the police..."
“Hey, hey, hey…” The man quickly said with a smile: “Comrade, I didn’t say I wouldn’t sell it. Okay, deal! I’ll give you face today.”
How much is face worth?
Although Chen Yi felt disdainful in her heart, she still paid the money and bought the snuff bottle back.
On her way back, she kept her hand in her pocket, twirling the snuff bottle.
She had seen this thing in the original owner's memory. It was her mother's dowry.
I still remember that it was a big box and they said it contained dowry.
Chen Yi had never remembered it before, because it was not her own memory, so it was normal for her not to remember it.
But now that she thought about it, she understood that the man just now took the original owner's mother's dowry!
And that person just now...
It’s Wang Limei.
She saw it clearly and there was no way she was wrong.
What a great thing! They openly sell the original owner’s mother’s dowry!
Chen Yi's face was grim, and then she turned and went to Chen Guoqiang's house.
She didn't go in, but stood outside. After all, there was something unpleasant going on before.
Besides, if she asked for the original owner's mother's dowry, she probably wouldn't be given it.
Even if Chen Guoqiang wanted to get closer to her, he would not agree to give Chen Yi a dowry.
So, it is impossible to take things openly.
Chen Yi planned to find out the situation first and then decide later.
At the very least, both people have to feel uncomfortable.
Not long after, she heard footsteps approaching.
Looking up, isn’t this person Chen Guoqiang?
Seeing Chen Yi, Chen Guoqiang was also stunned, "Why are you here?"
The two of them had a very unpleasant argument last time, and they seemed like they would never have anything to do with each other again.
Not long after that, Chen Yi came to their house.
Chen Yi looked indifferent and said, "I came here to ask something. Aren't you coming in?"
Chen Guoqiang was not angry when he heard this. Thinking that he was the director now, he gave him some face.
"Come in." He opened the door and let Chen Yi in.
After the two people entered the house, they found that in addition to Wang Limei, there was another man in the room.
Chen Yi was a little surprised, but she had never seen this person before, so she looked at Chen Guoqiang.
When Chen Guoqiang saw the man, he asked, "Xiaojun, when did you come?"
"Brother-in-law, I've just been here for a short time and I have to leave now." Wang Jun rubbed his hands, looking a little uneasy.
Wang Limei came out of the kitchen and said, "Why don't you leave after dinner? Why are you in such a hurry?"
As soon as she came out after saying this, she saw Chen Yi and her eyes widened.
Chen Yi looked at her with a half-smile. The feelings came too suddenly, so she was not prepared?
Wang Limei is indeed an experienced person. She smiled and said, "Chen Yi is here. It's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together later."
"No need, you guys eat. I came here just to ask something, and then I'll go back." Chen Yi sat on the sofa calmly.
Chen Guoqiang also sat down and said, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."
He was angry with his daughter because she was disobedient and still acted like a spoiled child.
Of course, that was all in the past. Chen Yi is still quite stable now.
He has outstanding work ability and is much more promising than his other two children.
Chen Yi glanced at Wang Limei, then looked at Chen Guoqiang and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"
She took out a snuff bottle from her pocket. The pattern painted on the snuff bottle was very beautiful, a landscape painting.
This is a very complicated craft, especially since it is an old item and is very valuable.
Of course, right now, this thing is not valuable.
The moment she saw the snuff bottle, Wang Limei's breathing stopped for a moment and she was stunned and couldn't utter a word.
Chen Guoqiang's expression changed, "Isn't this your mother's dowry? Why is it here with you?"
Upon hearing this, before Chen Yi could say anything, Wang Limei immediately said, "Chen Yi, why are you still stealing things?"
She completely cleared herself of the blame with these words and also pushed the blame onto Chen Yi.
When Chen Guoqiang heard that it was stolen, his face turned dark.
Chen Yi remained calm and said with a smile: "This thing is my mother's dowry. Why do you think it appeared on the black market?"
She answered the question irrelevantly and instead said that she saw it on the black market.
black market?
Wang Limei quickly said, "You stole something and you're still saying this? Chen Yi, if you want it, you can tell your aunt. How can I not give it to you?"
Chen Yi sneered, looking at her with increasingly cold eyes, "I stole it? Why should I ask you for it if I want it? Who do you think you are!"
"Chen Yi!" Chen Guoqiang frowned and scolded.
"What?" Chen Yi turned to look at him and said, "She sold the things on the black market herself and accused me of stealing them. Can't I refute it?"
Chen Yi looked at Wang Limei and said, "I don't know how much you sold it for, but this is what I spent 120 yuan on, plus two kilograms of sugar."
"You..." Wang Limei wanted to argue, but no one gave her a chance.
Chen Yi continued to look at Chen Guoqiang and said, "How dare you give my mother's things to others so casually? When my mother was alive, she also said that they were all my dowry! You haven't forgotten, have you?"
Before Chen Guoqiang could react after hearing this, he was questioned by Chen Yi.
No one spoke this time.
Wang Limei couldn't stand it anymore, and said calmly, "Old Chen..."
"Shut up!" Chen Guoqiang turned around and glared at her fiercely.
This dowry box was given to Wang Limei for safekeeping. Now you tell him that something is lost?
Isn't this obvious?
Chen Yi had never been home. If she had really stolen it, would she have come back to tell me this? Impossible.
Therefore, no one except Wang Limei could access the dowry.
Seeing that Chen Guoqiang had a very ugly expression on his face, Wang Limei also knew what was going on. It was impossible for her to quibble this time.
But she didn't want to give up...
Chen Guoqiang took a deep breath, looked at Chen Yi and said, "I can't give you that. When Wen Jie married me, this was her dowry. It has nothing to do with you."
No matter what, he would never give these things to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi was so angry that she laughed, "Is the dowry brought here for you? Where's your face?"
Chen Guoqiang's face was grim. "Can't you speak properly? You have no respect for your elders!"
"Just tell me whether you will give me the dowry or not!" Chen Yi was too lazy to discuss seniority with him. It was such a late hour and he was still asking about age!
It’s good enough that his house wasn’t demolished.
