Tian Yuzhu stopped and looked at the one-eyed man indifferently, which made him feel a little uneasy.
But he still insisted: "I swear, what I said is true."
"Okay, I believe you."
In fact, Tian Yuzhu knew that such a situation did exist on the border here, and the two connections in one village were also tacitly approved by the country.
She just wanted to test whether the one-eyed man was lying.
Seeing her agree so readily, the one-eyed man breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Unexpectedly, Tian Yuzhu's next sentence frightened him so much that his face turned pale.
"Then tell me about your tomb robbery."
“I…I didn’t…”
The one-eyed man almost fell to his knees again, stammering anxiously: "How can I have the courage to rob a tomb? You might as well just tell me what you want me to do instead of torturing me."
Tian Yuzhu looked at him and said, "Since you didn't rob tombs, where did you get the small bronze incense burner from the Shang Dynasty Yinxu? It's a rare item, not something you can just pick up casually."
The one-eyed man gave another surprised thumbs-up. "Now I'm convinced. You're truly an expert. However, I can only tell you that I bought that incense burner from a farmer's house. I bought it for one dollar, and I had a drinking urge, so I sold it to you for the same dollar. I didn't make a cent."
Tian Yuzhu knew that the other party must be hiding something, so it seemed that she would have to wait a little longer before prying his mouth open.
He nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I'll tell you straight away, I want to be an appraiser of treasures, whether it's jade, rough stones, or antiques, regardless of age. You'll be the middleman, and you'll give me 10% of the commission for each sale, and I'll give you half."
"Doesn't that mean I have to give you one dollar for every ten dollars?"
The one-eyed man thought that there was no way in the world that money could be made so easily, it was too much of a dream.
How could he know how much money those wealthy businessmen in the New World would pay Tian Yuzhu for an appraisal?
In short, this was a sky-high price in his mind, but in Tian Yuzhu's eyes it was just a temporary solution to the problem of food and clothing.
She said, "Once Mr. Gong's reputation gets out, I won't even give him 10% of the credit."
He's quite arrogant.
The one-eyed dragon complained in his heart.
However, because the other person was indeed capable, he could only agree: "Then I will give it a try."
"By the way, you said you'd give me half and you wouldn't change your mind, right?"
If he does end up looking for customers, what will attract him is definitely the 50% reward.
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "But you have to make it clear, I only appraise treasures, I don't give estimates."
The one-eyed man nodded. After finishing the business, he tried to find out more about the other party: "Mr. Gong, are you really a military wife?"
"Why, I don't look like one?"
"No, no, it's just that she's different from what I imagined a military wife to be."
The one-eyed man wondered, are all military wives so capable?
Then he asked, "Is your last name Gong?"
"No." Tian Yuzhu lowered her head and began to weave a nest for the little black boy.
"Then why do you say you are Mr. Gong?"
"Don't ask so many questions. If someone asks you who Mr. Gong is in the future, you can't expose me. Just say he's a man."
"Okay, don't worry."
After the one-eyed dragon agreed solemnly, a flattering smile appeared on his face: "Then Mr. Gong, may I ask if there is any meat inside this rough stone of mine?"
"It's thick and light, not much different from a river pebble."
"What?"
An angry look suddenly appeared on the one-eyed dragon's face: "Tomorrow I will find time to go to Awu Village to settle accounts with that bastard."
Awu Village, which straddles two national borders, is worth a visit.
However, Tian Yuzhu cannot go too far at the moment. It is not a problem for her, but she is afraid of implicating Shi Zhentang.
We can only look back on it later.
Next, she began to weave the nest seriously. The one-eyed man watched with admiration and wanted to ask who Tian Yuzhu's previous master was.
How do you know so much about antiques and jade?
Tian Yuzhu deliberately replied in an unfathomable manner: "I advise you not to know."
“…”
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Yuzhu returned to the military area carrying a winnowing basket and Xiao Heizi's nest.
In his hand, he was holding a small bamboo bird.
She made this with about half a meter of remaining bamboo skin, specially to thank the little girl An Fei'er.
I didn't meet anyone along the way.
Tian Yuzhu walked to the gate of Courtyard No. 14 and stopped: "Fei'er, Doctor Ye?"
Seeing that there was no one in the yard and the door to the main house was tightly closed, I wanted to call out a few times to check.
After a while, An Fei'er pushed open the door and came out alone.
The little girl is wearing an orange coat today, which makes her skin look fair and tender, and her eyes are very bright.
The little mouth is so sweet that it is adorable: "Auntie, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Here, this is what Auntie made for you. Thank you for lending me the clothesline yesterday."
Tian Yuzhu handed it to her over the courtyard wall.
The little girl looked surprised: "Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome."
Tian Yuzhu didn't know whether Ye Qingqing was at home, but she heard the neighbor's call and didn't say anything, which showed that she really wanted to keep a distance from others.
This is her freedom, and Tian Yuzhu chooses to respect it and not force it.
She waved to An Fei'er and said, "Then Auntie is leaving. You should go back now!"
It’s almost time, so she should hurry home to cook!
Who would have thought that when you walk to Yard No. 17, you will see two little guys, Dahu and Erhu, playing in the yard.
What these two little guys said when they met was surprising.
"Auntie, give us some meat."
Tian Yuzhu was stunned: "..."
It is possible that he was used to getting along with Chengcheng and Doudou when he was in Quanshui Village, and thought that all children were so well-behaved.
So when Dahu and Erhu suddenly became so rude, she didn't react for a moment.
After coming to his senses, he forced a smile and said, "But Auntie is out of pork jerky. I brought it from my hometown yesterday and gave it all to you!"
"No, we just want to eat meat."
Erhutou's mouth flattened and he started crying loudly.
Da Hu not only started crying, but also turned around and called out to the people in the house: "Mom, mom, Auntie won't give us any meat."
Tian Yuzhu frowned: "..."
Sure enough, Feng Chun rushed out in a panic: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
What does this mean? It means that Tian Yuzhu bullied two three-year-old kids.
Moreover, she knew what Feng Chun was going to say next, and she suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Before she could even open her mouth, she retorted, "Sister-in-law, Da Hu and Er Hu ask me for meat every time they meet. We don't have any at home, and even if we did, I'm not obligated to give them. Don't talk about bullying or not. You should teach your kids well and don't teach them bad things."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Feng Chun, who had not yet spoken, was left speechless.
No, she hasn't started scolding yet?
Feng Chun was so angry that her face turned red. Tian Yuzhu was right about one thing. It was indeed her idea to let the two kids come to her to ask for meat.
But why should she care how to educate her children?
Feng Chun came to his senses and immediately opened the gate and rushed out. He turned the corner and arrived at the next door.
She put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Tian, come out here. What does it have to do with you how I teach my child?"
