Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

"I think this matter cannot be handled so easily. He is a person who will never change his bad habits. Today, I think we should punish him severely, otherwise, he will be even worse in the future." said the second uncle.

"Whether he will be a bad person in the future, I am not sure, but there is one thing I want to tell you, and that is now. We must deal with this matter, and then talk about the future. If it is this matter, we can judge the future. I don't think it is scientific to say this. It's like many children. They are good people when they are in kindergarten, junior high school, elementary school and even high school, and college, but they become bad when they enter society. You can't say that the teachers didn't find out when he was in school and put the blame on the teachers. I think it doesn't make sense." said an old man.

"I'm telling you now, this is not the time for us to shirk responsibility. I think now is the time for him to be punished. What do you think should be done? Punishment means what kind of punishment should be given to him?" said the third uncle.

After listening to the third uncle's words, Xu Damao felt that what Uncle Zhang said had some humanity in it, and it was not because he was soliciting everyone's opinions.

"I think it's not up to me to decide what kind of punishment to give him, because I'm still young and I don't know what he has done before. But if he hasn't done anything bad before and this is his first offense, then we can give him a small warning," Zhou Dong said.

After listening to Zhou Dong's words, the old man said that Xu Damao was a bad person from the beginning.

If we let him off easily this time, he will be even more ruthless in the future, so we must punish him severely today no matter what.

After listening to what the old man said, Xu Damao felt that the old man was a bit too cruel.

So Xu Damao felt that the third uncle spoke more kindly, so he decided to talk to the third uncle about this matter and see if the third uncle could say a few good words for him.

So after today's activities were over, Xu Damao sneaked out of his room while it was still dark.

"Third uncle, third uncle." Xu Damao called softly.

"who are you?"

"I am Xu Damao."

"Why do you come to see me so late? Is there anything?" The third uncle said these words and did not open the door.

Xu Damao said that of course he had something to do. If he didn't have anything to do, why would he come to see him on such a night?

"What's the matter? Tell me now, otherwise I'll go back to sleep. Look at it now. It's already past 10 o'clock in the evening. If I don't go to sleep, I will definitely not be able to get up the next day."

"I know. I didn't stop you from sleeping. But now, please open the door and let me in. I have something to tell you."

"Whatever you have to say, can't you just say it outside the door now?"

"I can talk outside the door, but what should I do with the things in my hands? I can't carry them all the time. They are very heavy."

When the third uncle heard Xu Damao say that he was still holding something in his hand, he quickly opened his door.

After the third uncle opened the door, he found that the other party, Xu Damao, was carrying a heavy cardboard box, so he smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. I was getting dressed just now, so I couldn't open the door for you in time, so you can't be angry."

"It's okay, it's okay. For men like us, this doesn't matter."

"It's like this. I believe you should be very clear about what our uncle did today. How do you think the first uncle and the second uncle will punish me?" Xu Damao said.

"I'm not really sure how they'll punish you, but there's one thing: we're on good terms, we're neighbors, and I'm such a soft-hearted guy that I can't bear to see others suffer."

The third uncle boasted a lot.

"Yes, that's why I came to you now. Otherwise, who else can I look for? Unlike his first and second uncles, they are really heartless people. Unlike your third uncle, you have a heart of a bodhisattva, so I took you here without thinking about it. If you talk about this matter, do you have any idea in your mind now?"

The third uncle knew what Xu Damao was thinking, so he felt that no matter whether he could help the other party now, he had to verbally agree to the other party first. Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to accept the other party's gifts.

"It's like this. I think we should be able to discuss this matter very well. Look at this matter. I'm telling you this now. Actually, it's not a big deal, because everyone makes mistakes. What's more, you didn't do it on purpose, and you didn't know that the wine was really fake. If you knew it was fake, I believe you would definitely not sell it to Zhou Dong."

"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. I certainly didn't know that these were fake wines. If I knew they were fake wines, even if I drank them all by myself, I would not sell them to our good neighbors, right?"

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me first."

"It's like this, because these are all local neighbors. If I sell it farther away, I might have to hide for a while. If something goes wrong, these are all neighbors. If I know it's fake wine and sell it to the neighbors around me, then wouldn't that be digging a hole for myself? Without saying this, do you think what I said is true? I believe you must think so in your heart."

Xu Damao saw that the third uncle helped him to defend himself. He felt that what the other party said was very reasonable, so he said, "Yes, yes, that's what I thought at the time."

"Let me tell you now that the most important issue right now is not what the first and second uncles think, but what Zhou Dong thinks. So we must bribe Zhou Dong now."
