Chapter 86: Chapter 86 She Is Indifferent_1

Song Yunuan glanced at Old Man Song, "Grandpa, did you sell it then?"

"I did, I figured keeping it might lead to problems, so I asked him how much he’d pay, and the man said ten yuan each. I sold twenty of them and then sold them."

Twenty items worth ten thousand yuan each were sold just like that.

Song Yunuan felt heartbroken, but it was the right thing to do.

Even to say, Grandpa was clever, acting utterly oblivious to the true value of the incense burner.

No, that’s not right, why would there be people asking to buy back something they sold?

"Grandpa, did you ask why?"

"Of course, I asked, the man said that the items actually belonged to a friend, who didn’t want to sell them and was waiting for someone willing to buy at a high price. He wasn’t aware and sold quite a few of them, and now he has to spend money to buy them back."

Alright, that was a lie riddled with holes.

"Have they left?"

"They left and never came back. Oh, one of the men, who had a Beidu accent, even asked me why Asheng chose that incense burner. I told him that my grandson said it had plum blossoms carved on it and wanted to give it to his sister, but since his sister didn’t like it, no matter how much money was offered, I wouldn’t sell it."

"After I said that, the man just laughed and remarked, ’What girl would like this sort of thing?’ Then they took the incense burner and left."

Seeing the relief on her grandfather’s face, Song Yunuan figured that someone coming to forage for shepherd’s purse on their land would probably hurt more than this.

But then, it’s hard to say with this matter.

It all depends on how shrewd the other person is.

Meanwhile, Master Hai, staying at Mazi’s place, looked at the Plum Blossom Official Furnace and suddenly asked Mazi about the events of that day.

So, Mazi thought for a bit and then recounted the story once more.

Master Hai suddenly asked, "Mazi, do you think Old Man Song really knows the true value of this item?"

He then pointed at the bottom, "These characters are engraved right here, bright and clear. Does he genuinely not know?"

Mazi: "I’m not sure, but there are plenty of old objects with engravings, and lots of fakes, too. What would rural folks know about that kind of thing, especially since Nanshan County Town isn’t an old county town— I’ve heard there weren’t even any prominent families there before."

Master Hai, however, had a flicker in his eyes.

"I will go back in a few days, wait for that kid to return, and give him a try."

"Some people aren’t aware of their own abilities and never get the chance to test them, let alone a child. So it’s normal for his family not to know either."

Master Hai thought to himself that if the boy turned out to be a once-in-a-century talent in identifying treasures, he would become the number one in the field.

Besides, there was no loss in trying.

Old Man Song was skilled; the carriage frame was finished, needing only the wheels and axles now.

Old Man Song decided to take a look at the county’s agricultural machinery station.

Chu Zizhou came over and said, "Uncle, I have spoken to the agricultural machinery station. You can just go there and buy what you need."

Old Man Song was not used to it, but Chu Zizhou insisted on addressing him that way, and he had no choice but to accept.

"Do I need a ticket?"

"Anyone can buy there. The agricultural machinery bureau has opened a new hardware store, no agricultural machinery vouchers needed, but of course, they require cash on delivery and an introduction letter from the commune; I’ll write one for you now."

Old Man Song’s lips moved slightly, wanting to say, ’don’t call me uncle in the future,’ but swallowed the words back down.

If he loves to call me that, so be it.

There was no need to make a fuss and embarrass everyone.

Therefore, Old Man Song prepared to go to the agricultural machinery bureau. As it happened, the commune’s horse cart was not in use today, so he borrowed it. Song Yunuan, having nothing better to do, also wanted to join for a trip, and naturally, Asheng wanted to come along.

On their way, they encountered Zheng Dong, who was riding a bicycle.

All sweaty, upon seeing Song Yunuan sitting on the horse cart, he immediately jumped off his bike and shouted: "Little Nuan, Song Yunuan!"

The carriage came to a stop at once.

Song Yunuan alighted from the carriage and frowned as she saw Zheng Dong hurrying over.

Was Zheng Dong here to see her?

As far as she knew, Lu Feng and Qin Siqi had left with Lin Qing and the others.

Zheng Dong hadn’t left because of the electronics factory matter.

However, their interaction that day had been cold and indifferent, which also signified a lack of interest in continuing their association.

But in the original host’s memories, she actually had good relations with these neighbors.

A pretty young girl was naturally pampered a bit.

Not to mention, her family background wasn’t bad either.

But with Qin Siqi and Lu Feng in between, it was still better not to associate with them.

She quietly watched Zheng Dong, her eyes filled with confusion.

Zheng Dong wiped his face and glanced at the carriage not far away before lowering his voice, "Little Nuan, I have something to tell you. Lu Feng has returned to the provincial city. We thought he would go back to school, and Uncle Lu had even bought his ticket, but he resolutely refused to go. Not only that, but he also started a hunger strike, saying if you don’t agree to the marriage, he won’t live."

Song Yunuan’s brows furrowed deeply. What on earth was this all about?

She didn’t speak a word.

Zheng Dong was also quite annoyed. Had Lu Feng taken leave of his senses? To forsake such a good university and start a hunger strike?

Little did you know, the more you make a racket, the worse Lu family’s impression of Little Nuan would be. Previously they might have had some sympathy, but now, they probably only feel revulsion.

Song Yunuan: "What do you want by telling me this?"

Zheng Dong’s expression soured: "I’m actually really busy here. I told Uncle Lu and the others that you’re ignoring Lu Feng now, but they don’t believe it. They insist it’s because you led him on; otherwise, Lu Feng wouldn’t do this. Qin Siqi also said that you two spent quite a while alone at the school gate. As for what was said, only the concerned parties would know."

Song Yunuan felt very irritated: "So, what exactly do you want by finding me?"

"Aunt Cai wanted to come and settle accounts with you, it seems to talk terms, hoping you could make a clean break with Lu Feng. Uncle Qin stopped her, then he called me, asking me to tell you to write a letter to Lu Feng, a letter to utterly dishearten him."

Song Yunuan rolled her eyes: "What kind of letter could completely dishearten him, a wedding invitation of mine?"

Zheng Dong was taken aback and suddenly began to cough violently.

Song Yunuan, with a look of disgust, dodged to the side, covering her mouth and nose, and muttered, "Why are you coughing so severely, haven’t you seen a doctor?"

Zheng Dong finally managed to stop coughing.

He looked at Song Yunuan carefully and belatedly realized that from beginning to end, Song Yunuan had been indifferent.

He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart.

Seems like Lu Feng really was performing a monologue.

Maybe Aunt Cai also understood this, which is why she was even angrier.

But could you say Song Yunuan was wrong?

"Little Nuan, it’s just a letter. Just write it, so Lu Feng can truly give up."

"What if I write it and she doesn’t give up?"

Her calligraphy was prettier than the original host’s. She had been reviewing her coursework these days and practicing her calligraphy as well, moving from bad to good.

Even if no one paid attention, she had to make some semblance of an effort.

Besides, she didn’t want her present handwriting to fall into others’ hands.

Zheng Dong: "That won’t happen, will it?"

Song Yunuan: "I’ve already told him in person, and you weren’t deaf to it. So a letter might not be effective."

Zheng Dong: "Then... what should we do?"

Song Yunuan’s eyes shifted: "I do have a good idea..."
