"Old Tao, do you remember the last time you asked me to look at the compass?" On this day, Tao Chengcheng's father received a call from his old friend Lao Luo.

Father Tao nodded a little uncertainly and replied, "Remember?" What's wrong? ”

"Now that someone is willing to pay a high price for that compass, guess how much he has made?" Lao Luo on the other end of the phone asked excitedly.

Father Tao thought for a moment, and then replied, "High price? Is it fifty thousand?! ”

Lao Luo snorted disdainfully and said, "Fifty thousand is too embarrassing to call it a high price?" Let's tell you the truth, 50,000 is followed by another zero! ”

"Fifty thousand followed by a zero? So, isn't that 500,000?! Father Tao couldn't help but exclaim.

Lao Luo said triumphantly: "How is it? Surprised, right? Let me tell you, I introduced you to such a big deal this time, and you have to treat me well when you go back! ”

In fact, Lao Luo Zhen didn't want to pit his old friend, otherwise he could have bought it from Father Tao at a low price and then resold it, but what he never expected was that Father Tao actually wanted to cry and replied without tears: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, then, that compass was sold by me!" ”

"What?! Let you sell it? When will it be sold? Lao Luo couldn't wait to ask, because he was worried about whether someone was robbing his business and cutting off his beard.

"It's the day after I ask you for identification." Father Tao replied with a look of remorse.

After hearing that it had been so long and had nothing to do with this incident, Lao Luo immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked easily, "Then how much did you sell it?" ”

Father Tao sighed and replied, "Don't mention it, it was only sold for 50,000!" ”

"Huh? How do you sell so much? Lao Luo asked puzzled.

"I don't blame you, didn't you say that this thing is worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan." Father Tao complained angrily.

Hearing this, Lao Luo was immediately unhappy: "You can also blame me for this?" You also play collecting, don't you know that this antique has never been priced, I said 10,000 or 20,000 is the price you urgently need to sell with money, hey, it seems that you really don't have the life to get rich! ”

After complaining a few words, Lao Luo suddenly thought of a way: "By the way, can you still contact the person who collected the compass?" Anyway, when you sold it to him, it was only 50,000 yuan, and now you can get it back at the original price or add another tens of thousands, can't you still make a lot of money? ”

Lao Luo's words seemed to wake up the dreamer with a word, and Father Tao suddenly realized: "Yes, I can buy it back, Cheng, Lao Luo, you wait, I'll go to the guy who bought my compass." ”

But what Tao's father didn't expect was that after hearing that it was this matter, Tao Chengcheng shook his head and refused: "Dad, we can't do this, it was shameful enough to force Mr. Tang to buy our family's heirloom for money last time, and I can't do anything about buying it back." ”

Before Father Tao could speak, Mother Tao, who was on the side, hurriedly retorted: "Why can't you do it?" That compass is the heirloom of your old Tao family, if we want to come back, it is not what we should share, and besides, we are not asking for it in vain, we will return the 50,000 yuan to the surnamed Tang. ”

After listening to his mother's words, Tao Chengcheng said with a smile: "Mom, are you embarrassed to say that it is a family heirloom? Do you sell your heirlooms and buy them back? I can't open my mouth about this anyway. ”

Tao Mu said disapprerovingly: "Why are you embarrassed? That's hundreds of thousands of dollars as soon as you turn your hands, and there are people who sell their lives for this money, so what's wrong with selling some cheeks? If you're embarrassed, then give me the phone, and I'll tell the guy surnamed Tang. ”

In desperation, Tao Chengcheng had to give Tang Ning's phone number to his mother, so Tang Ning received such a call: "Mr. Tang, hello, I am Tao Chengcheng's mother, and you came to Changde last time to help send back the inheritance, and I really thank you for this." ”

Although Tang Ning remembered who this Tao Chengcheng was at this time, what he didn't understand was that it had been so long since this matter had passed, how could he remember to thank himself, but he still said politely and perfunctorily: "No thanks, this is what I should have done." ”

After chatting for a few words, Tao Mu cut to the chase: "By the way, Mr. Tang, is the compass you bought from us last time still in your hand?" ”

"Ah, what's wrong?" Hearing this, Tang Ning had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Tao Mu immediately said happily: "That's great, Mr. Tang, we regret it now, we want to buy that compass back, where are you now?" We're going to find you! ”

"Buy, buy back? Don't you like this thing? Tang Ning asked with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, Mr. Tang, don't you know, since I sold that compass to you, my old man has always had nightmares, saying that his ancestors scolded him in his dreams and didn't keep their Tao family heirloom, and now he has a nervous breakdown." Saying that, Tao Mu also pretended to cry twice.

Seeing that his mother made up nonsense with this mouth, and even said that his father was having a nervous breakdown, Tao Chengcheng felt that there was no place for his face......

But how could Tang Ning be fooled so easily, and this compass is a treasure, the last time he could buy it for 50,000 yuan, it was already equivalent to picking up a leak, and he was not short of money, so how could he sell it again, so I saw Tang Ning say slowly: "Oh, Uncle Tao has a nervous breakdown?" I'll have to go to the hospital. ”

"I went, why didn't I go, they were all hospitalized, but the hospital couldn't see anything. I also deliberately asked someone to calculate it, and they all said that this is a matter of not keeping the heirloom, as long as the heirloom is taken back, this disease will naturally be cured. Mother Tao let her wife stay in the second hospital again.

But Tang Ning was still unmoved: "Auntie, now it's the era of science and technology, don't promote feudal superstition anymore, you better take your uncle to a good hospital for a good check-up, don't believe in these crooked ways, if you delay your uncle's illness because of this, it will be worth the loss." ”

After inking for a while, Tao Mu felt that it should be useless to beg like this, so her face changed, and she said unkindly: "I told you that the surname is Tang, this compass is the heirloom of our Tao family, you have no reason not to occupy it, and we don't want you for nothing, I will return you a lot of your 50,000 yuan!" ”

"It's not about money! What's the matter, if I don't sell it, can you force me to sell it? Tang Ning replied coldly.

"Why not? Be careful that I go to court to sue you! Tao Mu threatened.

"Good! I see if the court will accept it! ”
