Chapter 61 Gaining Trust

"Selling something? Oh, young man, if I had anything I could sell, I would have given it to my son in exchange for money!" Uncle Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head, with helplessness written all over his face.

As a father, he will naturally give priority to his children's happiness. As for himself...he is already over sixty anyway, and he has long taken money lightly.

Sister-in-law Liu glared at him: "Come on, I asked you to sell the house but you didn't sell it. You're so stingy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Liu became anxious: "Look what nonsense you are talking about? This house has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. If it is lost in my hands, what dignity will I have after I die?"

See our ancestors under the Yellow Spring!"

"Don't talk about things with that nonsense. Let me ask you one question, is it more important, the dead or the living? Can you bear to watch our son be alone and bullied in the city?!"

"I, I...are all important!"



Seeing that the odor between the two of them was getting stronger and stronger, Chu Fengping quickly spoke up to smooth things over: "Don't argue, don't argue. Hey, uncle and sister-in-law, things haven't developed to the point where we have to sell the house!"

Besides, although the house is valuable, where will the uncle, sister-in-law and the others live after it is sold? If they move to the city with their son, some girls will probably find it objectionable.

All in all, a good girl will not refuse to associate with Uncle Liu’s son because he cannot afford a house for the time being, and women who insist on taking material factors into consideration when dating will most likely refuse to date Uncle Liu’s son because he lives with his parents.

Give up on him - if you just give in, won't the uncle and sister-in-law end up homeless and living on the streets in the end?

"Young man, what do you mean by that? Do you have any ideas?" When his son was mentioned, Uncle Liu became anxious and kept asking as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Chu Fengping chuckled, with a sincere and honest expression, without any hint of calculation: "I see that the uncle and sister-in-law's house is full of ancient charm. There must be many items and ornaments that have been preserved from hundreds of years ago.

Looking at it now, it can be regarded as a valuable antique."

Not only that, going back a few generations, the Liu family had a big business and prosperous life, so the cost of building their home must have been considerable.

Things that were expensive and luxurious back then are definitely more valuable now.

On the side, Wang Yunshi glanced at Chu Fengping silently.

Why didn't she realize that he was quite scheming before?

As for being hungry and looking for food, I'm afraid the purpose of searching for antiques was probably from the beginning.

No wonder I started chatting about family matters in order to make the uncle and sister-in-law relax their vigilance, and then naturally bring up topics related to money...

A man's heart is like a needle in the sea.

"Yes, Old Liu, you are afraid that your ancestors will blame you for selling your house, but you will be fine if you sell a few bottles and cans, right?" Hearing Chu Fengping's opinion, Mrs. Liu nodded quickly and followed the advice, "

Besides, we don’t want to give our son a huge sum of money, a down payment of ten or two hundred thousand is enough!”

Chu Fengping looked at Uncle Liu with deep eyes. He had his head lowered and his hands holding the chopsticks were clenched tightly, obviously very entangled.

There was silence for half a minute, and Uncle Liu did not speak.

Chu Fengping was not in a hurry, he just waited quietly without urging or persuading.

After all, buying and selling must be based on the voluntary basis of both parties. If pressure is imposed, it may not only cause Uncle Liu's resentment, but also Chu Fengping's conscience.

"...It can be sold." After a while, Uncle Liu finally gave a positive answer, hesitating, "But, I have lived in the countryside for a long time, and I don't know any reliable people who buy antiques.

If you take your stuff directly to an antique store or flea market in the city, you will definitely get ripped off.”

Although I don’t understand it, I can guess how deep the water in this industry is by using my brain a little bit.

Uncle Liu has no power or background, so I am afraid he can only let others lower the price...

"That's true." Sister-in-law Liu let out a long sigh, her words filled with bitterness, "But what can we do? Let's just accept the slaughter. If we can get money, that's the real thing."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Fengping no longer concealed anything: "Uncle and sister-in-law, to be honest, my major in college is related to antique appraisal. If you two can trust me, I can help you find out what valuable things you have at home.

By the way, let’s give you a rough estimate of how much money you can exchange for.”

Uncle Liu and Sister Liu looked at each other, obviously hesitant.

They are not stupid. If Chu Fengping said this, they would naturally begin to doubt the real purpose of Chu Fengping and Wang Yunshi coming in to beg for food.

"It doesn't matter, if it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I just want to do my best to help my uncle and sister-in-law. I don't have any other meaning." He added lightly, with a gentle and polite smile on Chu Fengping's face.

There is no treacherous flavor that businessmen are accustomed to. On the contrary, he is sincere and makes people unable to bear to refuse.

Thinking of Chu Fengping's luxury car parked outside the door, and looking at Wang Yunshi's elegant and calm demeanor and simple and expensive earrings and jewelry, Uncle Liu swallowed.

They don't look like bad people...

"...Then I'll trouble you young man!" Uncle Liu finally succumbed to the pressure of reality. After weighing the pros and cons several times, he backed down.

"Okay, okay, after we finish eating, Lao Liu, please take the young man into the house and take a good look!" She said happily, and Mrs. Liu's tone was a little more joyful than before. She smiled so much that the creases in the corners of her eyes were squeezed out.

, and kindly put a large piece of meat into Chu Fengping's bowl.

"Well, okay." Chu Fengping replied neither condescendingly nor condescendingly, and changed the subject by the way, "The scenery in Liuli Village is nice. There should be a lot of tourists there usually, right?"

"Yes, there are indeed a lot of tourists, but there are always some unscrupulous people who throw plastic bottles and bags and other garbage into the village."



While chatting, the meal was extremely harmonious.

After the meal, Wang Yunshi and Mrs. Liu cleaned up the dishes 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 other rooms is also very particular. Even in some places that look random and messy, you can still find mysteries in the subtleties.

Chu Fengping praised Uncle Liu silently in his heart while following Uncle Liu to the study.

The bookshelves made of mahogany are filled with all kinds of books, most of which are very old. The papers have begun to turn yellow and are so brittle that they will break if touched lightly.
