Before the apocalypse, Ye Weiwei went to a charity auction with her grandfather and saw a blue and white porcelain vase sold for 100 million yuan.
Although the times and places are different and the prices cannot be compared, in her opinion, that blue and white porcelain vase is far inferior to these two.
After buying two blue and white porcelain vases, Ye Weiwei wandered around the small warehouse and found two inkstones, one of which came with a matching brush holder and brush washer. Ye Weiwei bought them for fifteen yuan.
When the old woman heard that Ye Weiwei wanted to teach her children to write, she took a few ink sticks from a shelf and gave them to Ye Weiwei. "These have been sitting here for a long time and nobody wants them. I threw away a few of them because they smelled rotten. If you need them, take them back. Consider them a bonus."
Ye Weiwei took it and immediately knew that this ink was no ordinary product. She happily accepted it and then spent another five cents to buy all the remaining ink on the shelf.
The old woman asked in bewilderment, "These things are very useful; one piece can last a long time. Why did you buy so many?"
Ye Weiwei: "There are many children in the family, so we use it up quickly, and it doesn't cost much anyway."
The old woman then stopped saying anything.
She knew that Ye Weiwei was not short of money.
However, feeling bad that she had charged Ye Weiwei 50 cents for the things that were taking up space and were about to be thrown away, the old lady took out a few calligraphy brushes from the warehouse and gave them to Ye Weiwei.
Ye Weiwei picked out a few more trinkets from the small warehouse, paid for them readily, and made the old lady beam with joy.
After leaving the small warehouse, Ye Weiwei found several elementary school textbooks and a bunch of comic books outside, spending less than three cents in total.
After leaving the scrap yard, Ye Weiwei found a secluded spot and stored the vases and other items into her spatial storage. Then she went to a bookstore and bought some notebooks for practicing calligraphy, a pencil case, and filled it with pencils, erasers, rulers, and knives that she had found in her spatial storage.
After finishing these tasks, Ye Weiwei saw that it was almost time, so she went to the state-run restaurant.
After a short while, Huo Xiao and Xiao Xingxing arrived, along with Fang Ming and Li Hao.
"Little sister-in-law." Fang Ming and Li Hao greeted Ye Weiwei quickly when they saw her, but their eyes betrayed their guilty conscience.
Ye Weiwei pretended not to notice anything amiss with them and invited, "Come and sit down with us."
Fang Ming smiled and said, "Hey, little sister-in-law, tell me what you want to eat. It's my and Haozi's treat today!"
Li Hao quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! Just tell me what you'd like to eat, sister-in-law."
Huo Xiao said, "Is that even a question? Bring me a portion of everything that's good to eat!"
Fang Ming felt a pang of guilt, but dared not resist. After all, he had caused trouble, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Ye Weiwei knew that the two people didn't have much money, so she said, "No need to spend money, just order two dishes, that'll be enough."
Huo Xiao snorted coldly: "No need, let these two brats bleed a good blood today, they deserve it!"
Fang Ming quickly said, "Sister-in-law, you don't need to save us money. This meal should be on us!"
Ye Weiwei then fell silent.
Fang Ming ordered two servings of braised pork, one braised fish, one serving of minced meat and vermicelli, one stew of cabbage and tofu, one seaweed and egg soup, and then two large plates of meat buns were served.
Once all the dishes were served, Fang Ming and Li Hao looked at Huo Xiao expectantly.
Huo Xiao glanced at the two of them, picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork on each of Ye Weiwei and Xiao Xingxing's plates before saying, "Let's eat."
Fang Ming and Li Hao felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and then picked up their chopsticks to eat.
After finishing their meal, Fang Ming and Li Hao explained the whole story to Ye Weiwei.
It turned out that Huo Xiao's former superior, who had always valued him highly, heard from an old friend in the West China Military Region that Huo Xiao had recovered from his leg injury and had even helped crack a major smuggling and human trafficking case in the Northwest. So he sent someone to check on Huo Xiao's recent situation. The call came to Fang Ming, and Fang Ming didn't think much of it and told him about Huo Xiao's leg recovery and marriage.
"Back then, when Little Li found out about Brother Huo's marriage, he joked with me that the old commander was so anxious to get Brother Huo back that he was even considering using a honey trap. Luckily, he remembered that I was in Qingshan County and called me first to ask about the situation. He almost made a foolish move." Fang Ming said helplessly, "How was I supposed to know that Little Li was such a blabbermouth? How did that woman Yao Jingjing find out and even chase after us!"
Li Chenghuan, who was far away in the army, suddenly sneezed, feeling extremely aggrieved.
How many times is this now!
He never expected that Yao Jingjing would overhear his phone call with Fang Ming that day.
As soon as the woman heard the news that Huo Xiao's leg had recovered, she went to find him. However, after learning that Huo Xiao was married, she offended his wife, causing him to be questioned by that cold-faced devil.
When the old leader returns from the meeting, he'll have to give this a proper talking about!
Li Hao also looked annoyed. "That Yao Jingjing is a lunatic. I was just unlucky. I was patrolling the street yesterday when I ran into her. She recognized me and kept arguing with me for ages, not letting me go until the bus to the county came and sent that plague away."
As for Yao Jingjing's request for him to help deal with Ye Weiwei and break up Huo Ge and his sister-in-law, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of upsetting his sister-in-law.
Anyway, his sister-in-law saved his life, so even if he dies, he would never do anything to betray her.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Little Li has already assured the boss that he will get Yao Jingjing back as soon as possible and prevent her from causing you any more trouble."
Ye Weiwei said indifferently, "Only things that can't be solved are troublesome; she's not qualified to handle that."
Fang Ming gave a thumbs up: "No wonder Brother Huo has his eye on her! So impressive."
Thinking of the image of his sister-in-law dragging a skewer of candied hawthorns to the police station to report the case, Fang Ming silently lit a candle for Yao Jingjing.
Hopefully, Yao Jingjing will be smart enough not to provoke her sister-in-law again, or she'll suffer the consequences.
Thinking about Yao Jingjing's family background, Fang Ming couldn't help but remind her: "Yao Jingjing's father holds a position two ranks higher than Brother Huo in the army, and she also has an older brother in the army. I heard that she is very spoiled at home."
Li Hao sneered, "It's only because Brother Huo doesn't care about those things that he's already been promoted. I heard that Brother Huo was supposed to be promoted after the last mission, but he got injured and had to retire. Otherwise, what would have happened to that guy surnamed Yao!"
Yao Jingjing's father is quite old and has no hope of advancing any further, while their Brother Huo is still so young, he truly has a bright future!
Ye Weiwei frowned; she sensed a hint of conspiracy in her voice.
It seems that Huo Xiao's injury last time was not simple!
Huo Xiao stopped Li Hao from complaining any further, "Alright! It's all in the past, stop talking about it! Be careful what you say!"
Li Hao reluctantly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Fang Ming swallowed the words that were about to come out.
