Chapter 128 Ulterior Motives



It was a small bronze incense burner from the Yin Ruins of the Shang Dynasty, a square tripod, exquisite and small, exquisite and exquisite...

"One-eyed dragon, you're trying to deceive people again."

Just as Tian Yuzhu was marveling at the small incense burner, Wang Xiu Di, who had gone to help Feng Chun chase the baby, came back.

She yelled from a distance: "The security team just left. Be careful or I'll call them back to arrest you."

The one-eyed man was so frightened that he quickly put the incense burner into his tattered bag and said with a playful smile: "Sister-in-law, please don't kill me. I really didn't lie. My things are all real."

"So you're just speculating?"

"Oh, no, no, I don't want to be accused of this. I just wanted to pay for some alcohol because I was craving alcohol!"

The one-eyed man didn't dare to say anything more. He shook his hand and turned away.

Tian Yuzhu felt sorry in her heart.

That incense burner is worth more than one dollar. If it were in the New World, it would go directly into the gentleman's collection cabinet.

Fortunately, she noticed a red arrow painted on the wall on the street, indicating the direction the one-eyed man was going.

She thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, I want to go to the toilet."

Sure enough, Wang Xiudi pointed at the red arrow and said, "Go that way until you reach the end of the alley. Feng Chun is going to Gongqiaoshe to buy some things. I'll help her look after the baby. We'll meet there later."

"Why!"

Tian Yuzhu turned around and quickened her pace.

As soon as I turned the corner, I met the one-eyed man.

At this time, the other party didn't dare to talk to her anymore. He just leaned lazily against the wall, with his sleeves rolled up, basking in the sun.

Tian Yuzhu walked up to him and stopped, "Is that incense burner really worth one dollar?"

The one-eyed man immediately perked up and stood up straight: "Yes, one piece. If the girl doesn't have it, then..."

Bang, a dollar hit his palm.

This was something her grandmother had quietly put into her pocket when she was leaving, and she only discovered it when she got on the bus.

Now it comes in handy.

The one-eyed man opened his good eye wide in surprise: "Hey, girl, you are so straightforward."

He quickly lowered his head to find the incense burner, and fearing that she would regret it, he kept assuring her: "Don't worry, this is absolutely the real thing, absolutely the real thing."

"Where did it come from?" Tian Yuzhu asked. She could tell whether it was true or not at a glance.

"Well, girl, don't worry about where it comes from, as long as it's real."

It's obvious that the one-eyed man won't tell the truth.

Tian Yuzhu also felt that it was a bit too hasty to ask this question at this time.

She didn't continue the question, but instead said, "Then remember, you never sold anything to me, and I never bought anything from you."

This is a smart girl!

One-Eyed Dragon loved dealing with people like this. He immediately understood and nodded: "Okay, relax."

Tian Yuzhu wanted to ask him if he had anything else, but she had no money on her.

Secondly, she was not sure about the character of this one-eyed man.

After all, as a military dependent, I have to be more careful when doing such transactions.

After putting the small incense burner into the inner pocket of her jacket, Tian Yuzhu finally remembered to ask, "By the way, what is the name of this town?"

The one-eyed dragon replied, "Yanchi Town."

“…”

Feng Chun, who was shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, also started muttering, "Sister-in-law, is that woman really Captain Shi's wife?"

"Yeah, this girl is really pretty. Her skin doesn't look like a country girl at all. It's so white, and her little face..."

"Sister-in-law, it's true. It's not like I didn't see it."

Feng Chun suddenly interrupted with an unhappy tone.

Wang Xiudi choked, "...Uh, Ah Chun, I'm not saying anything to you. It's normal for you to blame Captain Shi for some things, but Yuzhu just arrived. We're all military families, so we should be more tolerant of each other."

Feng Chun immediately laughed: "Sister-in-law is right, it's nothing, I'm just annoyed by the kid being too noisy. Oh, right, didn't you say she's a fool?"

"Not stupid, very normal." Wang Xiu Di thought that maybe she shouldn't have brought Tian Yuzhu to town this morning.

Unexpectedly, Feng Chun said again: "But it seems a little abnormal to me."

"How do you say that?"

"She's not as enthusiastic as us, doesn't like to talk, and is gloomy. Anyway, she's abnormal. How can a normal person be like this?"

"That's not the case, is it?"

Wang Xiu Di began to have doubts.

Looking back now, she spent most of her time on the road helping to take care of the baby.

Tian Yuzhu seemed to be a little indifferent.

It’s like… she has never once taken the initiative to help soothe the baby.

But it's also possible that everyone has a different personality. Wang Xiudi said, "Everyone has their own unique personality!"

Feng Chun, however, looked very sure: "He really is stupid. According to what our older generation said, such people are heartless and emotionless."

Is there?

The image of Tian Yuzhu smiling flashed through Wang Xiudi’s mind.

Forget it, she didn't want to argue with Feng Chun anymore.

The grudge between their two families will eventually be resolved.

"Aunt Yuzhu."

The two little ones playing nearby suddenly rushed towards the door.

Tian Yuzhu walked in and patted the head of one of them: "Da Hu."

Then he said to another: "Erhu."

Wang Xiu Di didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She couldn't tell the difference and usually just called out randomly.

The two little ones didn't tell the adults which one of them was the big tiger and which one was the second tiger.

However, Feng Chun's expression changed subtly.

The person she had just repeatedly called a fool was actually able to accurately distinguish between Da Hu and Er Hu.

What's going on?

In fact, this is not difficult for Tian Yuzhu at all. Even if the two children look exactly the same, there are still some differences in their subtle expressions.
