Siheyuan: I Really Think That Honest People Are Easy To Bully.

Chapter 246: Discussions With The Lou Family, Encountering “Acquaintances” In The Ghost Market

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"My little ancestor, where have you been all day? Didn't you say you were going to buy a watch? Why didn't you see me all day? Do you know how worried we are about you?"

After getting important "information" from Wang Jianjun, Jiang Xiao'e, who had a good idea, was not in a hurry to go back. She stayed there the whole afternoon until after dinner, when she came back leisurely.

"Mom, I'm an adult now. Besides, it's not the first time I go out. Why are you worried about me? No, did you arrange another blind date for me today?"

Seeing her mother's exaggerated concern, Lou Xiao'e immediately became "suspicious". She thought of her parents telling her to come back early when she went out in the morning. Combined with her "encounter" during this period, she immediately had a guess.

"Oh, no...

"What do you mean I'm arranging another blind date for you? If you could settle your affairs earlier, we wouldn't have to worry about this. Besides, we're doing this for your own good. By the way, you haven't told me where you went today?"

Before Lou's mother could think of how to answer her daughter's words, Lou's father started his "for your own good" theory, and then he brought the topic back.

"When I bought a watch this morning, I happened to see Wang Jianjun buying things for his sister-in-law. I thought I had nothing to do when I got home, so I went to his house to play."

"Wang Jianjun? This guy is really good. Not only is he capable, but he also takes care of his wife's family after getting married. No matter whether the things he bought are valuable or not, the key is that he has this intention. It's a pity that you are not destined to be together, otherwise there wouldn't be so many troubles now. ”

Since knowing that Wang Jianjun had helped Lou Xiaoe, both Lou's father and mother had a very good impression of him. If they hadn't known that he was married, they would definitely try their best to bring the two together.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Even if Wang Jianjun is not married yet, we are not suitable. The age difference is too big. He is so capable and not short of money. He must find someone with the right age, appearance and personality to marry. How could he be interested in me?"

"Xiaoe, Wang Jianjun is very good. Your father and I know this, but you don't have to belittle yourself. You missed him. If we don't have him, we can just look for another one. Actually, I think the guy who came here for a blind date today is pretty good. What do you think, Old Lou?" After a round of discussion, the topic returned to the blind date. Perhaps because she felt that her opinion alone was not important enough, Lou's mother also pulled Lou's father out. "Well, although this is the first time we met today, I also feel that this guy is quite suitable for you, Xiao'e. Although he is just an ordinary buyer in the canteen of the machine repair factory, I can see that this guy is very motivated and his future achievements will definitely not be too bad." "The most important thing is that the other party has a good "foundation". His family has been farmers for generations. He also found the opportunity to stay in the city last year by escorting ten big fat pigs to the machine repair factory. "And you are also suitable in age, and the other party doesn't care about your divorce. It's a pity that you went out to play today and were not at home. You can only find a chance to date next time." Although Lou's parents praised this person to the sky, Jiang Xiao'e, who had already made up her mind, was naturally unwilling to accept her parents' arrangement. "Dad, Mom, since we've come to this point, let me also express my own opinion. No matter how good or excellent this person you say is, please don't arrange for us to meet in the future. Also, before the end of next year, please don't introduce me to blind dates. I will definitely not go."

"What's the matter? Xiao'e, why do you suddenly not want to go on blind dates? Do you really want to live alone for the rest of your life?"

Lou Xiao'e knew that her parents would not understand what she said, but she still had to make it clear, otherwise it would be troublesome for her to be deaf in the future.

And the fact was just as she expected. As soon as she finished speaking, her mother was the first to jump out and object.

"Mom, you didn't understand. I said I won't consider dating and marriage before the end of next year, but that doesn't mean I won't look for someone in the future, so I won't end up alone. Don't worry."

"Why should I worry, you silly girl? Our golden age is only a few short years. If you don't find someone now while you look good, you will have fewer choices in the future."

No matter how much Lou Xiao'e explained, her mother still couldn't understand her behavior.

"Mom, it's only been a year, it's not as exaggerated as you said."

"Why am I exaggerating? This is what I am doing..."

"Okay, mother and daughter, please stop for a moment. Xiao'e, tell the truth to your father, did you hear any news outside today?"

Seeing that his daughter was so persistent and mentioned this time point many times, Lou's father immediately thought of a possibility, so he quickly interrupted the conversation between mother and daughter, looked at Lou Xiao'e and asked seriously.

"Well, you guessed right, there is such a thing, but I promised the other party to keep it a secret, so don't ask me again. In short, the reason why I made this decision was definitely not motivated by emotion.

"Xiao'e, it is indeed a virtue to be trustworthy, but do you think your parents will harm you? We just want to help you check again. In this way, I won't ask who that person is? You can just chat today. Just give us a brief explanation of what happened, so you don’t get the wrong idea.”

"Yes, good daughter, your father is doing it for your own good, so just tell him. Don't you even believe us anymore?"

Although Lou Xiao'e admitted it, if Lou's father didn't understand such "important" news, he might not even be able to sleep at night. Besides, if the news was true, it would not be Lou Xiao'e's fault alone, but the matter. It concerns the future of his entire family.

Seeing her husband's expression of caution, even though she didn't quite understand the situation, her mother still chose to believe her husband and started persuading her daughter.

"Dad, Mom, I'm such an old man, and I still have the ability to judge problems. If you do this..., okay, okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me, You must not tell anyone."

"Don't worry, daughter, we are not stupid, and we will definitely not make it difficult for you. To put it another way, if you really say it, it will not do us any good, so why bother?

Lou Xiao'e really didn't want to say it at first, but she couldn't resist the eager eyes of her parents, so she had no choice but to confess in the end.

“After we met this morning, on the way to his house……………………, and then during lunch, I took the initiative to ask him questions. Although he didn’t want to answer my questions, in the end he still wanted to do it for the sake of his friend. Face to face, tell me... Based on these two points of judgment, I made this decision."

After listening to Lou Xiao'e's story, although Lou's father and Lou's mother immediately guessed that the person was Wang Jianjun, they no longer care about it.

After listening to this conversation, Lou's father was able to confirm that his daughter's analysis was correct. As for what "facts" Wang Jianjun based on to infer these things, there was no way of knowing.

But he finally chose to believe it, because the other party had no grudge against them and had just helped his daughter some time ago, so there was no reason to harm them.

ME......

"Xiao'e, your analysis is correct. Your parents will no longer introduce you to blind dates in the future. As for the young man today, just pretend that there is no such thing. I will ask the matchmaker to reject him tomorrow."

"As for your friend, when you have time in the future, go out and walk around more and connect with each other. Don't always stay at home alone.'

After hearing what her father said, Jiang Xiao'e rolled her eyes at him. It was so obvious, why should she pretend to be so? However, she was quite satisfied with the arrangement of visiting Wang Jianjun's house more in the future.

Anyway, I also like to go to Wang Jianjun's place. There is someone to chat with to relieve my boredom, and there is also a delicious meal to enjoy, which is not too nourishing.

As for her parents' purpose, she actually didn't need to inquire about it. As their relationship grew warmer, she believed that Wang Jianjun would not be indifferent to her misfortune.

"Thank you, parents. Of course it's okay to go to my friend's place often, but should you, the second elder, give me some funds for activities? Once or twice is nothing, and others won't mind, but if you go there often to eat and drink, That’s a little unreasonable, and I’m embarrassed myself.”

"Yes, yes, this is what it should be. Our Xiao'e is very careful. You see, dad, an old fool, didn't even think of this. Let your mother give it to you now."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad."

While Jiang Xiao'e was discussing business with her parents, a family of three in Wang Jianjun's house in the courtyard were also chatting in the back room.

"Lily, Haitang, I'm going out tonight. You can go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me."

"I know, Brother Jun (brother-in-law)."

"Well, I'm going to read a book. You guys can continue chatting."

Since Yu Haitang joined the family, Wang Jianjun has told her everything he can, so there is no need to explain too much about what he is doing when he goes out at night.

"Sister, have you noticed today that I find Sister Xiao'e is a little weird?"

After Wang Jianjun went out, Yu Haitang and Yu Li quietly discussed her "discovery" today.

"Sister Xiao'e is weird? Haitang, what are you talking about?"

"It's the way she looked at her brother-in-law. Sister, think about it carefully. Is it similar to the way I looked before?"

"I really didn't pay much attention to this. Could it be that you got it wrong? After all, Brother Jun has helped her before and he helped her again today. Maybe she is just grateful.

"Maybe, your analysis seems right. Could it be that I was wrong? No, I must observe her carefully next time she comes."

I don’t know whether it was because Yu Li was a fan of the authorities, or because Yu Haitang was too observant, but Lou Xiaoe’s little affection for Wang Jianjun was caught by her.

It's not surprising to think about it. If she really didn't like her, how could she be so happy when she was getting along with Wang Jianjun and the others? It's just that Lou Xiao'e knew that there would be no result, so she took the initiative to hide it.

"It's up to you. It's almost time. You should go over and rest. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"Okay, sister, I'll be there right away."

"Brother-in-law, I'm going over first. It's cold at night. Please wear two more clothes."

"Okay, I understand, go to bed early."

Not long after Yu Haitang left, Wang Jianjun also ended his study for the night. He turned off the lights and waited for a while. After making sure that all the neighbors were asleep, he said something to Yu Li and went out.

He rode in silence along the way. When he was approaching the ghost market, he got off the bus early and chose to walk there because it was safer.

After seeing those sporadic "will-o'-the-wisps", I observed them for a while. After ensuring safety again, I started my "shopping" trip tonight.

As usual, he first visited the small stalls and vendors. With his master-level identification skills, all the treasures were hidden, and he quickly harvested several bags of antiques.

He was about to go find Mr. Lei after visiting the last few stores. Unexpectedly, he saw an "acquaintance", someone he felt should not be here.

It looked like this guy was coming to the ghost market for the first time, and he didn’t even have the most basic disguise, just like that

He came out to set up a stall in a daze.

But he must have realized it now. When talking to people, he covered his face with his arms. If he hadn't accidentally revealed his true appearance just now, Wang Jianjun wouldn't have noticed it.

"Boss, your bowl and plate look very beautiful. How much do they cost? If it suits me, I'll take it."

In order to clear up his doubts, when there was no one at his stall, Wang Jianjun took the initiative to go over and communicate with the other party.

"A bowl costs fifteen yuan and a plate costs eighteen yuan. If you want it, you can just take it. No bargaining is allowed."

"Let me go, boss, you are too evil-minded. This bowl and plate just look beautiful, but they are not made of gold. How can they be worth so much money?"

In fact, Wang Jianjun has already appraised them. Both of them are good things. They are authentic products from official kilns and are worth the price. However, his goal has not been achieved yet. How can he achieve it so easily?

Make a deal.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. These are antiques that came from the palace. In the past, only the emperors and queens were qualified to use them. Now you know why they are so expensive.

"

"Do you have any proof of what you said? You're just lying and deceiving people, right? I said there were a lot of people watching it just now, but no one bought it. You are a liar in terms of feelings.

If you want a stranger to tell the truth, you have to make the other person's emotions fluctuate first. Only in this way can you achieve unexpected results. Sure enough...

"Who are the liars? It's because they don't know the goods, or they just want to get a bargain, otherwise...

"Huh? Are you Master Li Tiezhu from the cotton spinning factory?"

"What are you saying about Li Tiezhu and not Li Tiezhu? My name is Nan Yi. Don't change the subject. Do you want to listen anymore?"

Although the method is a bit old-fashioned, if it works, don't you know the result?

As for why Nan Yi didn't go to the entrustment store and instead came to the ghost market to sell things, there are only two possibilities. Either the origin of these two items is unknown, or the price offered by the entrustment store is too high.

lower, Wang Jianjun actually prefers the former.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person. You can continue talking, I'm listening."

"Forget it, talking to someone like you who doesn't know anything about antiques is just talking to a cow. It's the price. If you want it, you can take it. Otherwise, just play with it and don't delay my business."

In fact, Nan Yi only knows that his things are genuine, but if he really wants to tell him how ugly he is, he doesn't have the ability. After all, he is not a professional.

"Okay, seeing how confident you are, I will believe you once. I want both the bowl and the plate. If you dare to lie to me, unless you don't come here in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you.

That's thirty-three dollars, you count. "

"Don't worry, I swear to God, if I lie to you, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life. The money is no problem. Now these two things belong to you, I'll leave first."

Looking at the other party's figure leaving in a hurry, Wang Jianjun suddenly had a feeling that for some reason, they would meet again in the future, and it shouldn't take long.

After recovering his thoughts, he walked around the remaining stalls. After finding nothing good worth selling, Wang Jianjun went directly to Mr. Lei.

After some careful selection, a large number of goods were purchased, and then I got on the car and went home.
