Chapter 26 Even the most priceless treasure will be greatly diminished if it has a flaw.
Tao Guang was still smiling, but he had actually been gone for a while.
What's the reason?
Too little?
Shan Fang was equally shocked.
Three hundred thousand!
That's a full 300,000!
For someone from a farming background like her, this was a sum of money she never dared to dream of!
She quickly stepped forward, "Xiao Bao, 300,000 is quite a lot."
Shan Qingshan stared at him. "Don't you want more?"
Shan Fang fell silent.
think.
Her expression immediately changed.
"Mr. Tao, let me take you to see a doctor. Xiao Bao won't run away here."
Tao Guang stared at Shan Qingshan's retreating figure, gritting his teeth.
"He doesn't complain about the amount of money; he just doesn't want to!"
Trick them into working, then decisively and cleanly reject them!
I've been tricked!
Of course, Tao Guang had to admit that the price he offered was indeed low, considering the current market value and potential of Shanqing Mountain.
The price was set at this level to allow for negotiation.
But Shan Qingshan tricked him.
This angered him!
Shan Fang: "Really? Someone actually offered money to us and we didn't take it?"
Tao Guang struggled to his feet.
It hurts so much, I collapsed again.
Shanqing Mountain!
He absolutely must have him!
"I'm warning you, if he's unwilling, you won't get a single penny."
Tao Guang saw through Shan Fang's greed, and Shan Fang's face turned pale.
"Mr. Tao, tell me, how can I help you?"
Tao Guang's eyes revealed a sinister glint.
"Destroy him."
Even the most priceless treasure will lose much of its value if it has a flaw.
-
That evening, Shan Qingshan did not receive a call from Zhou Chong.
There was only one text message.
【Qingshan Xiaobao, I have some things to do and it will be late when I finish, so I won't call you. Get some rest, remember to think of me, goodnight】
After reading it, Shan Qingshan turned off his phone.
The next morning, as soon as Shan Qingshan got up, he was surprised to see his grandmother sitting outside with a bundle of rolled-up paper at her feet.
Something's not right.
Shan Qingshan walked up to his grandmother and squatted down.
"Grandma, why are you up?"
Standing close, Shan Qingshan could feel the chill emanating from her.
Grandma went out.
Grandma slightly raised her eyes, looked at Shan Qingshan, and asked, "When is Xiao Chong coming back?"
"I don't know."
Grandma went to check the live streaming equipment again, "When does that start?"
"There will be a while."
Grandma didn't speak for a long time this time.
The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Shan Qingshan wrapped his grandmother's hands in his own and gently rubbed them to warm them.
These hands are as withered as withered branches, covered with scars, calluses, wrinkles, and age spots. Even the fingernails are thick and hard, as if they have accumulated a heavy weight of years, and some are even split open, with a deep and long split that hides black dust that cannot be washed away.
It was these same hands that brought Shan Qingshan to adulthood.
"Xiao Bao, do you like Xiao Chong?"
Dan Qingshan was taken aback, and his gaze immediately fell on the bundle of papers.
He opened the bundle of papers.
Big-character posters.
Several lines of large, eye-catching characters were painted on the white paper.
Shan Qingshan is a homosexual.
Using her body to seduce rich young masters
Let's sleep in the same bed!
shameless!
It's contagious!
run!
The paper suddenly crumpled in Shan Qingshan's hands.
A sharp, long whistle rang in my ears.
Dan Qingshan's face was terrifying, his eyes cold and sharp, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
Grandma quickly said, "Don't be afraid, Xiaobao, I've torn them all up! Nothing's missing! If you really... Grandma can accept it..."
Grandma's voice grew hoarse as she spoke.
"Grandma just wants someone to be good to you."
Shan Qingshan looked at the big-character posters.
"The paint has dried, so it must have been written yesterday, but the paste on it is still very fresh. The person hasn't gone far yet. I'll go out and take a look. Grandma, you go back to your room first."
Shan Qingshan walked out.
Grandma grabbed Shan Qingshan's arms with both hands.
"Xiao Bao, Grandma checked, there's no one here."
"That's alright, I roughly know who did it."
The thought of his grandmother accidentally seeing the big-character posters and tearing them down from house to house before dawn in the dead of winter makes him want to kill someone.
"Xiao Bao..."
Grandma refused to let go; she was very worried.
Xiao Bao grew up in the village, and his life had always been hard. He was good-looking and had good grades, but despite that, he failed his college entrance exam and missed out on university. His family didn't have the money to continue his studies.
What makes him worth harming?
Why would anyone be so cruel as to harm her already suffering little baby?
"It's too dark outside, don't go, it's too dangerous."
Shan Qingshan stood there for a moment, then helped his grandmother back to her room.
"Okay, I won't go now."
Grandma was relieved. "That's good..."
The huge weight on my heart was lifted off my shoulders.
Once her anxiety subsided, she felt completely relaxed and began to walk back, hunched over and unsteady.
The lights inside the room were a soft, warm yellow.
Shan Qingshan explained, "Grandma, Zhou Chong is different from others, yet the same to me."
“The difference is that he treated me very well, which made him special. The similarity is that he is no different from anyone else; he will leave, this is not his world.”
"Grandma, I won't like someone like that, and I won't be true friends with someone who is destined to leave. I'll be good to him while he's here, and I'll forget him when he leaves."
Grandma's lips trembled; she was deeply saddened.
From the moment Xiao Bao was born, his mother, father, aunt, classmates, teachers, and even the cat they took in only stayed by his side.
When he was very young, he asked her that question.
"Grandma, am I not likable?"
Grandma firmly told him no.
But the truth is, Shan Qingshan had no one else by his side except her.
Her baby has always been alone.
After the rescued cat froze to death, Grandma discovered that he was in a state of isolation from people.
She was very worried.
She heard that someone else's cat had kittens, so she went and brought one home, thinking that Xiao Bao would be happy, but Xiao Bao returned the cat the next day.
He said, "They'll all leave sooner or later, and the outcome will be the same. There's no need to keep them or build a relationship with them."
He was only eight years old at that time.
Resisting from forming relationships with anyone and not having high expectations of anyone, in order to avoid getting hurt.
