I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Sensing Han Chunming's unhappy expression, Guan's father's face changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and told the purpose of his trip:

"Chunming, Xiaoguan told me that you have quite a few antiques. We came here hoping that you could sell us a few."

"Oh, compared to my master, my stuff is just a drop in the ocean. Since you like antiques, you should go find the master."

The conversation was not going well, so Han Chunming told them the purpose of their visit without any hesitation.

"This……"

"Forget it. For Xiaoguan's sake, I advise you two to be true to your conscience and not just focus on money! I don't have what you want here, so please help yourself!"

Han Chunming decisively ordered them to leave, not giving them the chance to continue to pester him.

Guan's father and mother looked pale.

If word got out that they were taught a lesson like this by a junior, they would definitely lose face.

"You are so arrogant at such a young age. Let me tell you, the world is so big. Don't think you can be superior to others just because you have a few antiques!"

After saying these harsh words, Guan's father and mother left the Han family in anger.

They had been expecting to make a fortune, but ended up with nothing.

"Why don't we just go to the Foley Auction House and buy it? This guy doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I don't think we can get any advantage from him!"

Guan's father made a suggestion. In fact, he had wanted to go to the Foley Auction House earlier, but Guan's mother always had her eyes on the antiques at home and stopped him from going.

"That's the only way. After we buy the antiques, we will quickly sell them overseas. How can they know their true value?"

Guan's mother was filled with resentment.

Although Uncle Guan had a lot of antiques, they had nothing to do with them, and they couldn't stand this kind of frustration.

The two men left cursing.

Not long after, Su Meng came out from her hiding place. She had seen everything that had just happened.

Foley Auction House?

Guan's father and mother also planned to go to the Foley Auction House to buy antiques, which coincided with her uncle's idea.

However, now that the Foley Auction House has become famous, it will probably be difficult to buy antiques at low prices next time, so I am afraid I won’t be able to get much of a bargain.

So, she decided to find Cheng Jianjun and see if she could use the back door!

Su Meng came to Cheng's house and saw Cheng's father smoking in the corner and Cheng's mother busying herself with her head down. The atmosphere at home was a little depressing.

"Su Meng, what's the matter?"

Mother Cheng looked up and saw Su Meng peeking around, and asked in confusion.

"I want to look for Jianjun, is he home?"

Su Meng showed up calmly and asked straight to the point.

When Su Meng mentioned Cheng Jianjun, Cheng's father and mother exchanged glances.

"Jianjun has been very busy recently and hasn't returned home. We don't know where he is."

Cheng's mother had a helpless expression on her face. It was obvious that they had already expected someone to come looking for Cheng Jianjun and had prepared a response in advance.

"Is that so? Then I'll come see him again in a few days."

Su Meng lowered her eyebrows slightly, looking a little lost.

After saying that, she turned and left the Cheng family.

The Cheng family returned to silence again, and Cheng's mother's actions also stopped.

Cheng Jianjun has disappeared for two months and they still have no news from him. They can only hope that he will come home for a reunion on New Year's Eve.

In the courtyard next door, the Yan family was also in turmoil.

Although it was not yet nightfall, Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, had already closed the doors and windows early.

"What are you doing so mysteriously?"

Yu Li frowned and looked at her husband, puzzled by his behavior.

"You'll find out soon!"

Yan Jiecheng carefully placed the brocade box in his hand on the table. After opening it, a piece of exquisite porcelain appeared.

On the antique shelf, there is a beautifully bound appraisal certificate with shining gold-plated fonts.

"This is a Doucai dragon-patterned flower-mouth vase from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. It was sold by Fuyuan Auction House. Guess how much I spent to get it!"

Yan Jiecheng held the appraisal certificate and looked at Yu Li proudly.

“How much did it cost?”

Yu Li has no clear idea of ​​the value of antiques.

"One hundred and twenty thousand dollars. I've even mortgaged my father's house deed!"

Yan Jiecheng whispered this into Yu Li's ear.

"One hundred and twenty thousand? And you took my father's house deed...are you crazy?"

Yu Li's eyes widened in surprise.

"You don't understand the ins and outs of this. Be careful not to touch the bottle. This is a treasure worth 120,000 dollars!"

Yan Jiecheng carefully protected the bottle, regarding it as their capital for turning their lives around and getting rich.

"Aren't you afraid that our dad will blame you if he finds out? Hurry up and find a way to get the title deed back!"

Yu Li felt anxious and worried when she saw Yan Jiecheng like this.

"You know, this bottle only sold for 90,000 at the auction, and I used my connections to buy it for 120,000. If I resell it, it can sell for at least 150,000. With this one purchase and one sale, we've made a net profit of 30,000 dollars!"

Yan Jiecheng explained in detail to Yu Li.

"Will anyone really want to take over?"

Yu Li looked at the bottle and became even more confused.

"The 150,000 I mentioned is the current market price. Wait a minute, maybe it will increase to 200,000!"

Yan Jiecheng's face was full of pride.

It was a coincidence that I got this bottle.

Yu Li listened to her man's solemn words and gradually accepted it to 70% of the point.

"How are we going to explain this to our dad? You've mortgaged the house deed!"

Yu Li was still feeling uneasy.

"Don't worry about that. I have prepared for it. I have someone forge a deed. As long as he doesn't look carefully, he won't be able to find it.

Once we sell the bottle, we can use the money we earn to redeem the real title deed and everything will be fine!"

Yan Jiecheng was planning with confidence.

If we talk about who is the best at scheming in the family, Yan Jiecheng believes that he is invincible.

As for his father Yan Bugui, he is obviously old and his mind is not as sharp as before.

When will I be able to get rich if I just keep those shabby things at home?

Yu Li stared at the porcelain vase, and couldn't help but feel awe at the tens of thousands of dollars flowing through Yan Jiecheng's mouth.

"We must find a safe place to hide it. We must not let our father see it!"

Yu Li suggested.

After hearing about the value of the porcelain vase, she had to treat it with caution.

Although she was worried, she had no choice but to trust her husband this time since things had come to this point.

"I brought it home specially for you to see because you were thoughtful enough to find a good place to keep this treasure!"

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Li, a proud smile on his face.

Time flies, and the city gradually welcomes the New Year's Eve amid the hustle and bustle.

The streets and alleys were transformed overnight, brightly lit and extremely prosperous.

People come here to buy New Year's goods, or are attracted by the wide variety of street snacks.

Ye Ming went out with his family, carrying gifts in his hands.

"Brother, I want to eat candied haws!"

When Xiao Xin saw the candied haws, she suddenly couldn't move and grabbed Ye Ming's arm like she did when she was a child.

"Girl, you are so greedy even though you are so old."

Ye Ming smiled and said something scolding, then walked towards the vendor.

"Dad, I want it too!"

"I want another one!"
