Chapter 61: Gaining Trust
"Sell something, alas, young man, if I had anything else in my hand that I could sell, I would have exchanged it for my son a long time ago!" Uncle Liu shook his head with a wry smile, helplessness written on his face.
As a father, he naturally prioritizes the happiness of his children, as for himself...... Anyway, they are all people who are over the age of six, and they have long looked down on money.
Sister-in-law Liu glared at him: "Come on, if you sell the house, you won't sell it, and you will be so strong as to slam the door!"
As soon as the words fell, Uncle Liu was also anxious: "Look at what kind of nonsense you are talking about? This house has been passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors, if it is lost in my hands, what kind of face will I have to see the ancestors and ancestors under the Yellow Spring after I die!"
"Don't talk about that nonsense. Let me ask you a question, is it important to be dead or alive? Can you bear to watch our son being bullied alone in the city?!"
"I, I...... It's all important!"
......
Seeing that the ** smell between the two was getting stronger and stronger, Chu Fengping hurriedly opened his mouth to play a round: "Don't quarrel, don't quarrel, hey, uncle and sister-in-law, things haven't developed to the point where you have to sell the house!"
Besides, although the house is valuable, where will the uncle and sister-in-law live after it is sold? If they move to the city with their son, it is estimated that some girls will also hate it.
All in all, a good girl will not refuse to associate with Uncle Liu's son because he can't afford to buy a house for the time being, and most women who insist on taking material factors into account when they fall in love will also give up on Uncle Liu because his son lives with his parents - if he blindly gives in, won't the uncle and sister-in-law end up homeless and living on the streets?
"Young man, listen to what you mean, do you have a way?" As soon as his son was mentioned, Uncle Liu was also anxious, and hurriedly asked as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
Scratching his head embarrassedly, Chu Fengping smiled, his expression was sincere and honest, and he couldn't see the slightest calculation: "I see that the uncle and sister-in-law's house are full of ancient charm, and there must be many items and ornaments that have been preserved hundreds of years ago, and now they can be regarded as valuable antiques." ”
Not only that, when the Liu family moved back a few generations, the family had a big business and a prosperous family, so the cost of building the family house must be not small.
What was an expensive and luxurious thing at the time must be more valuable to keep it now.
On the side, Wang Yunshi silently glanced at Chu Fengping.
Why didn't she find out that he was scheming before?
If you want to beg for food when you're hungry, I'm afraid it was for the purpose of looting antiques from the beginning.
It's no wonder that at the beginning, he talked about homely things, in order to make the uncle and sister-in-law relax their vigilance, and then naturally lead to money-related topics......
A man's heart, a needle under the sea.
"That's right, Lao Liu, you're afraid that you will be blamed by your ancestors for selling your house, but you won't be fine if you sell a few bottles and cans, right?" Hearing Chu Fengping's opinion, Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly nodded again and again, and followed the persuasion, "Besides, we don't want to give our son a huge amount of money, just a down payment of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan!"
Chu Fengping looked at Uncle Liu with deep eyes, and he still hung his head, and the hand holding the chopsticks was clenched tightly, obviously very entangled.
There was silence for half a minute, and Uncle Liu didn't speak.
Chu Fengping was not in a hurry, he just waited quietly, without urging or persuading.
After all, buying and selling this kind of thing must be based on the willingness of both parties, and if pressure is forcibly exerted, it may not only lead to Uncle Liu's disgust, but Chu Fengping will also be unable to get over it on his conscience.
“...... You can sell it. After a while, Uncle Liu finally gave an affirmative answer, "However, I have lived in the countryside for a long time, and I don't know any reliable people who buy antiques." If you take something directly to an antique shop, flea market, or something like that in the city, you will definitely be slaughtered. ”
Although I don't know, I can guess how deep the water is in this line with a little brain.
Uncle Liu has no power or background, so I am afraid that he can only let others lower the price......
"That's right. Sister-in-law Liu let out a long sigh, full of bitterness between the lines, "But what can we do? ”
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Fengping no longer concealed it: "Uncle and sister-in-law, don't hide it, my major in college is related to antique appraisal." If you can trust me, I can help you see what is valuable at home, and by the way, give you a rough estimate of how much money you can exchange. ”
Uncle Liu and sister-in-law Liu glanced at each other, obviously hesitating.
They are not stupid, Chu Fengping said this, they will naturally start to doubt the real purpose of Chu Fengping and Wang Yunshi coming in to beg for food.
"It's okay, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I just want to do my best to help my uncle and sister-in-law, and I don't mean anything else. Adding lightly, Chu Fengping had a gentle and polite smile on his face, and he didn't have the treacherous taste that businessmen were used to at all, on the contrary, he was so sincere that people couldn't bear to refuse at all.
Thinking of Chu Fengping's luxury car parked outside the door, and looking at Wang Yunshi's elegant and calm demeanor and simple and precious earrings and jewelry, Uncle Liu swallowed.
They don't look like bad people......
“...... Then it's troublesome young man!" Uncle Liu finally fell under the pressure of reality, and after weighing the pros and cons several times, he made a regression.
"Okay, okay, when we finish eating, Lao Liu, you take the young man into the house and take a good look!" said happily, Sister-in-law Liu's tone was a little more happy than before. She smiled so much that the folds in the corners of her eyes squeezed out, and kindly sandwiched a large piece of meat into Chu Fengping's bowl.
"Well, okay. Chu Fengping replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and changed the topic by the way, "The scenery of Liuli Village is good, there should be a lot of tourists in normal times, right?"
"Yes, there are a lot of tourists, but there are always some unqualified people who throw plastic bottles and bags and other garbage into the village. ”
......
Chatting and chatting, the meal was eaten in harmony.
After the meal, Wang Yunshi and sister-in-law Liu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table and went to the kitchen to wash them together. Chu Fengping followed Uncle Liu and walked deeper into the house.
Like the hall, the layout of the other rooms is also very exquisite, even if there are some places that seem to be more casual and messy, you can find the mystery in the subtleties.
Chu Fengping praised silently in his heart, and followed Uncle Liu to the study.
The shelves made of mahogany were filled with all kinds of books, most of them very old, and the paper had begun to turn yellow, so brittle that it seemed to crumble at the slightest touch.
Turning sideways to make way for Chu Fengping, Uncle Liu patted him on the shoulder seriously: "This is the most wonderful place to put up the most calligraphy and paintings, young man, let's help look from here, I'm sorry for you!"
