Chapter 86 Curiosity Kills the Cat



After Yang Zhaozhao turned into the alley, he hid in the space.

The person who was following him entered the alley, but did not see Yang Zhaozhao. He was stunned for a moment and said, "How come he is gone? He can't have run that fast!"

"Where are the people?"

After looking around for a while and not seeing Yang Zhaozhao, the man frowned and finally gave up and left.

Yang Zhaozhao followed quietly, riding his bicycle after the man.

He saw him go back to the dark side of the air-raid shelter and say a few words to Wang Dajun who was waiting under a tree and smoking. The distance was too far for Yang Zhaozhao to hear.

However, one thing that is certain is that Wang Dajun has set his sights on him.

What is his purpose?

Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he would have to be more careful in the future.

When I got back to Grandma Cui's house, Li Yiling had already returned. He was busy in the kitchen. He smelled a burnt odor and opened the lid of the pot. He saw that the rice was burnt.

Li Yiling: "......"

"I put too little water and the fire was too big. I'll be more careful next time. I'll serve out the edible ones and give the inedible ones to feed my neighbor's chickens." Although we can't raise chickens on a large scale now, each household can still raise two chickens.

Grandma Cui didn’t have enough food to eat herself, so there was no extra food to feed the chickens.

Yang Zhaozhao watched the four people eating, and cooked a big pot of dumplings with pork and green onions. They all liked them very much and ate each dumpling in two bites.

After dinner, Li Yiling washed the dishes and handed her a book: "This is a book I found today. You can take a look. It should be useful for your studies."

"Thank you!" Yang Zhaozhao took the book and took a look. It was about mathematics and it was indeed very helpful.

Yang Zhaozhao is weak in mathematics, and Li Yiling is very good at it. Now Yang Zhaozhao spends time studying mathematics every day, and asks him for help if he doesn't understand something.

Every time Li Yiling explained to Yang Zhaozhao very patiently.

Under the light, looking at the two heads put together, Grandma Cui seemed to see her son and daughter-in-law.

Looking at Xiao Cui who was sleeping soundly after washing her hands and feet and wiping her neck, I felt very safe this winter.

Before going to bed, Yang Zhaozhao put the snuff bottle into the material space for evaluation.

Material space: [Qingyi porcelain snuff bottle from the Xianfeng period, slight defects, estimated value of 1,000, should it be used for repayment? ]

"use."

Material space: [Repayment of 1,000 yuan, current loan balance: 108,493 yuan. ]

Yang Zhaozhao clenched his fist: "He also wanted to ask me for a thousand. Wang Dajun is really a cunning man. He even dared to have someone follow me."

㰴I thought we could have a pleasant cooperation, but now it seems some people are not honest.

Yang Zhaozhao must be on guard against Wang Dajun, lest he trick her without her knowing it.

He used fake products before and then tried to cheat me out of my money.

Yang Zhaozhao narrowed his eyes and labeled Wang Dajun a liar.

Wang Dajun went to find his seventh master and told him what happened today: "She took a look at it and recognized that the Jianzhan was fake. She also took a look at the snuff bottle and decided to buy it."

"It seems that she does have some problems in the field of treasure appraisal." Master Qi took a puff of cigarette, and a gleam of light flashed in his vicissitudes of life eyes: "Yu Hai has been arrested, and we can't be without professionals in the field of treasure appraisal. If this girl can be won over, it's best to win her over."

Wang Dajun nodded: "Yes."

"Also, have the people who ruined our business several times been found? I heard they were a man and a woman." Master Qi suffered a lot of losses and was still brooding over the matter.

"We are checking."

"We must find the people before the New Year. We can't let them ruin our plans again." The pipe was placed on the table, and the Seventh Master had a ruthless look on his face.

Wang Dajun nodded.

The Seventh Master said again: "Go get a few things to test her mind and see if she can really identify treasures at a glance."

"Yes." When Wang Dajun left the yard, he had a few small things in his hands.

The next day, Grandma Cui was taken for a check-up. The doctor said that she had recovered well, her muscle atrophy was not serious, and she was being well taken care of, so they could continue to maintain it.

Yang Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her efforts were not in vain.

After returning home from the inspection, Yang Zhaozhao and everyone had noodles with gravy at noon. The noodles were a tomato and egg stew prepared by Yang Zhaozhao. Everyone ate a big bowl and Li Yiling finished it in one gulp.

"Are you going out in the afternoon?" Li Yiling knew that Yang Zhaozhao couldn't stay at home.

Yang Zhaozhao nodded: "Let's go to Heiyu to have a look."

"I'll go too." Li Yiling put on a scarf and a cotton jacket.

Yang Zhaozhao couldn't refuse. Thinking about how she was followed yesterday, she felt safer with Li Yiling around.

This time, Wang Dajun was promised that fifty bicycles would be placed in another location. Wang Dajun looked at Li Yiling, then at Yang Zhaozhao, and thought of what Qi Ye said yesterday.

Li Yiling saw Wang Dajun staring at him: "What's the matter?"

The fierce and unprovoked look made Wang Dajun smile ingratiatingly: "Before, I always saw the eldest sister come out alone. It's rare to see the eldest brother. You don't look like brother and sister."

Li Yiling nodded calmly: "No."

They are not brothers, but they work together. Wang Dajun thought: "Are you husband and wife?"

Li Yiling almost choked on his saliva, his ears felt hot, and he glanced at Yang Zhaozhao who was counting money: "What is our relationship? Does it have anything to do with selling bicycles?"

Wang Dajun felt a little embarrassed after being confronted, and he didn't dare to act arrogantly when looking at the cold and hard Li Yiling.

Yang Zhaozhao confirmed that the number was correct and asked Li Yiling to go to the black market to see if there were any fresh vegetables to buy back for dinner.

Li Yiling knew that she was trying to get him out of the way, so he didn't make things difficult for her and walked away.

Wang Dajun motioned Yang Zhaozhao to come over and took out a bag of things from behind a rock: "This is what my brother collected. Take a look and see if there is anything you like."

Yang Zhaozhao opened it and saw that apart from a snuff bottle, there were some small items like pots, pans, and bowls. All of them had some flaws and the smell was not strong.

Some roots have no taste and are fake.

Although some of them have a smell, they are actually grafted. One third of them are real, and the rest are fake and have been repaired.

The only thing of some value is a jade pendant, which is beautifully carved and has a strong flavor, so it may be worth recycling.

Wang Dajun saw that Yang Zhaozhao only focused on the jade pendant and didn't even look at the others. He suppressed his surprise and asked with a smile, "Why don't you look at the others?"

"No need, let's just take this one. How much is it?" The others had no recycling value, and Yang Zhaozhao would not waste money.

"This is jade, real jade. It's not cheap. Five hundred is not less." Wang Dajun knew that she was good at bargaining, so he didn't quote her a price that was too high.

"I'll take the four hundred and fifty." Yang Zhaozhao was straightforward.

Wang Dajun smiled and nodded: "We will continue to cooperate in the future. I'll give you a favor and pay you 450." Then he recommended other things.

Especially the snuff bottle: "This is similar to yesterday's. You don't want it?"

Yang Zhaozhao didn't smell much and shook his head to refuse.

Wang Dajun's eyes flickered, and he didn't insist. He accepted the four hundred and fifty and said, "Since you are an expert in these things, do you want to keep the antiques for yourself or sell them?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Yang Zhaozhao played with the jade pendant for a while, put it in his pocket, and stared at Wang Dajun with a pair of sharp eyes: "I am not interested in Brother Wang's affairs. I hope Brother Wang will be less curious about me."

As he said that, Yang Zhaozhao smiled: "After all, curiosity kills the cat, meow~"

Wang Dajun: “…”

I always feel like she knows something?

Could it be that the person who followed her yesterday was discovered by her?

Yang Zhaozhao ignored Wang Dajun's anxious look, and when Li Yiling came back, he put the jade pendant into the material space: [A jade pendant from the reign of Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty, with an estimated value of 4,000. Should it be used to repay the loan? ]

"Yes." No matter big or small, as long as it can pay off the debt, Yang Zhaozhao will not miss it.

Material space: [The current remaining debt is 104,493 yuan, and the countdown is 30 days. Please hurry up to pay off the debt, otherwise you will be forced to follow the original plot, which cannot be reversed. ]

Yang Zhaozhao: “…”
