105: Selling off belongings
Lao Pu didn't even look at Yu Jiahui and replied coldly:
"Looking for your daughter."
Seeing that Lao Pu was ignoring him, Yu Jiahui probably guessed the reason. The old man was even hating him, so he deliberately asked:
"Why are you looking for our Xiao Ye? What's that thing you're pulling?"
"None of your business—"
"Look at what you said. My daughter's business is my business."
Lao Pu sneered:
"Then why don't you marry a fool?"
Yu Jiahui pretended not to understand:
"Who wants to marry a fool?"
Lao Pu also pretended that he knew nothing:
"No one, I'm just talking nonsense."
Yu Jiahui deliberately asked:
"You must be saying something else."
Lao Pu sighed sarcastically:
"Oh, some people are so lucky."
"Who? Who are you talking about? Are you talking about me?"
"Anyway, it's not me. I have bad luck——"
Yu Jiahui smiled playfully:
"Who said that? I think you're lucky. If you weren't, how could you marry a wife as beautiful as Sai Jinhua?"
"Get lost!"
"Why are you getting so angry while you're talking? You're not happy when I praise your wife for being beautiful?"
"I don't have time to argue with you!"
Lao Pu didn't even look at Yu Jiahui the whole time, and shouted directly into the yard:
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, uncle has brought you something!"
“Here I come!”
Yu Xiaoye responded in a clear voice, threw down his hoe and ran out the door. He saw a pile of things on Lao Pu's carriage. He was quite surprised. My God, there was not only a pile of firewood, but also a big iron pot, a big wooden barrel, and a bamboo basket!
Oh my god, isn’t this the belongings that the family brought from their hometown in Dongyang Province?
Yu Xiaoye only told Lao Pu that he wanted to buy a big iron pot for his two brothers.
How come you bought both the wooden barrel and the bamboo basket?!
Yu Xiaoye hurried to the carriage and took a closer look. He saw that there were still things in the wooden barrel and basket, including clay pots, spoons, spatulas, kitchen knives and ladles. They were all the ones they used in their hometown, and Yu Xiaoye remembered them all.
Damn, those two spendthrifts sold all this stuff?!
Yu Xiaoye looked up at Lao Pu with a puzzled look:
"Uncle, what's going on?"
“——” Lao Pu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but turned his head to look at Yu Jiahui. Seeing that Yu Jiahui was also staring at the pile of things, he said with a sullen face, “I want to say a few words to Xiao Ye, can you please stop eavesdropping?”
Yu Jiahui was furious:
"Who the hell is eavesdropping?!"
Yu Xiaoye was afraid that the two old men would quarrel, so she quickly pushed her father and winked at him, hinting:
"Dad, Dad, can you please go back to the room and rest for a while? I'll come in after I say a few words."
Yu Jiahui had no choice but to suppress his anger and turned into the yard.
After Yu Jiahui left, Yu Xiaoye apologized to Lao Pu:
"Uncle Pu, don't mind it, my dad is just like that."
Lao Pu looked disdainful and sneered:
"You shouldn't protect someone like him who would even sell his own daughter."
"Uncle, let's not talk about anything else for now. What are these things about?"
Lao Pu then changed his expression to a gentle one, looked at the pile of things in the car and said:
"Things went smoothly—"
Yu Xiaoye: It’s more than just smooth, it’s extraordinarily smooth!
She just wanted a bundle of firewood and a big iron pot, and this guy brought them all.
Lao Pu told the whole story of his encounter with the two brothers in the woods.
It was such a coincidence. I was worried that I might not meet the two brothers this time, but I actually met them again. At that time, Lao Pu told the two brothers that he wanted to buy firewood.
The two brothers were very happy when they heard that Lao Pu wanted to buy firewood. Not long after, they brought a bundle of firewood weighing more than 20 kilograms. They were all solid big wooden sticks, not small branches.
Lao Pu paid a dime and then took out a few grilled fish given by Yu Xiaoye, deliberately saying that these were fish cooked at home and he was afraid that they would go bad if they couldn't finish them, so he asked the two brothers if they wanted to eat them.
How could the two brothers not eat it? They held the grilled fish and were almost in tears of gratitude!
Then, Lao Pu deliberately said that a new family had moved into their company recently and they had to buy everything in the house, mainly because they lacked a big iron pot. He asked the two brothers if they knew where they could get an iron pot.
When Yu Daye heard what Lao Pu said, he immediately said that they had a big, thick iron pot that they carried all the way from their hometown. If Lao Pu wanted it, they could sell it to him.
Lao Pu has been waiting for this sentence!
Immediately nodded and said yes.
When Yu Erye heard this, he didn't ask the price and immediately said he would go back to get the big pot.
Yu Daye suddenly grabbed Yu Erye again, rolled his eyes, and asked Lao Pu if he wanted anything else besides the big iron pot. They had a lot of things at home, including pots, pans, and utensils. If he wanted, he could sell them all to Lao Pu.
Lao Pu was a little surprised when he heard this. He just wanted to buy a big iron pot. Why did this young man want to sell all his belongings to him?
Lao Pu was suddenly in a dilemma. Should he accept it or not?
He didn't dare to make decisions for Yu Xiaoye.
The old man was in a dilemma.
Seeing Lao Pu's hesitation, Yu Daye said, "Bring the things over first and let's take a look. If you like it, take it. If you don't like it, forget it. We won't force you."
Now that things had come to this, there was no reason for Lao Pu to refuse, so he agreed to let them bring the things over for a look first.
So the two brothers asked Lao Pu to wait here while they hurried back to get their things.
On the way back, Yu Erye hurriedly finished his grilled fish and finally spoke:
"Brother, you are not really going to sell all our belongings, are you?
But it’s all our belongings!”
"What can we do if we don't sell it? If we keep it in the Li family, it will become the Li family's property sooner or later. It's better for us to sell it ourselves and put some money in our own pockets." Yu Daye looked calm, as if he had figured it out clearly.
They brought all the belongings they brought from their hometown to the Li family.
Although Cai Honghua initially disliked the pile of junk they brought, over time, she would occasionally find something to use from their pile of junk.
Today I use a broken bowl to feed the chickens, and tomorrow I use a jar to store pickles.
A wooden bucket was also used to hold water for washing pots.
Yu Daye was worried. Wouldn't everything become the Li family's after a while? But since he was living and eating at their house, it was hard to say anything directly. If he dared to say no, wouldn't the Li family just give him something to talk about?
So the two brothers could only endure it.
Now, someone actually wants to buy their pot. Isn’t it just like handing over a pillow when you want to sleep?
Yu Daye thought for a moment and decided to sell all the remaining belongings!
If I can sell it for a dime, it’s a dime!
Sell it for money!
The most practical thing is to put the money in your own pocket after selling it.
Yu Lao Da's plan was very shrewd, but Yu Lao Er was very hesitant and asked with a sad face:
"But, if we sell all our belongings, what if we find our parents in the future, how are we going to explain it to them?"
