Chapter 858 Cui Dake Borrows Treasures
Evening
Xiyang Hutong
Yu's mother brought Xiao Haitang to clean up the place.
Anjie and the others went to Guanhu Garden and didn't come back, so Xiao Haitang also started to help her mother with the work.
She is much more diligent and sensible now.
Her sister had changed a lot in a year, and she wanted to live a good life, too! But she knew that to live a good life, she had to be obedient and not be petty all the time.
At that time, Yu Li mentioned it to her brother Lin Chen intentionally or unintentionally, but Lin Chen said that Xiao Haitang had a bad personality...it would be better if she could change it. Yu Li went home and told her mother.
As a result, this training lasted for more than a year, and now Xiao Haitang has obviously become a good girl.
"Mom, look at this..."
Yu's mother turned around, took a look and immediately smiled.
"It's either your sister or Lingling's bellyband. Even though it's just a small piece of cloth... the money used to buy it is enough to feed a family of three for a month. It's made of top-quality silk, and with the workmanship and embroidery, it must have cost at least ten yuan!"
Xiao Haitang touched the little goldfish embroidered on her bellyband and then gestured at her chest.
"Mom, do you think I look good in this?"
Mother Yu nodded happily: "It's beautiful, my Haitang is the most beautiful. But this is not something you can wear now... maybe next year it will be similar."
Xiao Haitang put it back reluctantly.
She loved the little goldfish so much that when she shook it in her hand, it swam around in the water as if it were alive.
Lin Chen never thought that his little hobby would be discovered by Xiao Haitang

The gate of the courtyard
Yan Bugui ran to the backyard but found that Lin Chen was not at home, so he went to the front door to wait for Lin Chen.
I can't take the half pack of cigarettes for nothing this time, I must help pass on the message. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with me...
After Lin Chen and Chang Siqi finished their meal early, they returned to the courtyard...
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate, he met Yan Bugui blocking the way.
"Hey, Brother Lin, you're back! I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
It's minus ten degrees outside now, Yan Bugui is freezing like a grandson. It's not so easy to get half a pack of cigarettes...
"Old Yan, you can do it! You have a lot of energy... What's the urgent matter that you don't go home to wait for me in such a cold weather? Are you so anxious that you can't wait until tomorrow?"
Yan Bugui originally wanted to go home to warm up and talk about it tomorrow, but Nan Yi was so anxious! He came over twice in a short while to urge him...
He had no choice but to wait here foolishly. If Lin Chen didn't come back, he would run back home.
"What kind of firepower is that? It's all due to the alcohol I drank at noon... It's because those two brats from Nan Yi were bullied again at noon, and they just asked me about Jie Cheng..."
Yan Bugui repeated the oath sworn by the two young men to Lin Chen again...
Lin Chen thought that these two idiots finally found a way out!
We have been waiting for them for almost a month. Three out of five American ginsengs have been sold... and the remaining two ginsengs are now waiting for "Youyuan" to come.
"Did they really say that?"
Yan Bugui pulled Lin Chen aside and laughed softly again.
"I have already frightened them, and I also warned them according to your wishes... The two guys have now learned their lesson. Cui Dake has gone back to his uncle's house in Xicheng to raise money. Brother Lin, do you think you can help with this matter?"
Lin Chen is now waiting for the two guys to arrive...
Now that Gao Shuzhen has made some progress, Nan Yi must give him some help... otherwise he will end up marrying a useless wife.
"So that's what happened? But that's not going to work! We can't make the medicine without the ingredients... Let's ask them to look for it again!"
Lin Chen was about to leave after he finished speaking, and Yan Bugui hurried forward and grabbed his arm.
"Brother Lin, wait a moment! Just for the sake of our relationship, please help me think of a solution... How about I let the two guys put on another show?"
Lin Chen knew why the stingy guy was so concerned...
"Forget about treating them! Tell them to wait for me in the medical department tomorrow! I'll check them out again..."
Yan Bugui was disappointed when he heard that Lin Chen didn't want to treat him... Usually, Lin Chen likes to be treated! What happened today? Did he just sit down at lunch and don't want to drink?
Before Yan Bugui could react, Lin Chen had already walked back to the backyard.
Qin Huairu had already taken Jingru and Yushui away in the afternoon, and she had to check the efficacy of the medicine for Sanli tonight...she didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him.
After Lin Chen walked past the screen wall, Yan Bugui did not chase him anymore... Anyway, the mission had been completed and half a pack of cigarettes was in hand. If you don't want to set up the banquet, then don't set up the banquet!

Xicheng District
Cui Dake burst into tears when he arrived... After all, it was not a small amount! If he didn't play the victim himself, his uncle would definitely not give it to him.
Old Cui is now shaking with anger. What kind of thing is this... He adopted a nephew originally thinking of taking care of him in his old age, but he never expected it to turn out like this.
"Stop, stop, stop knocking! I don't have that much money, but I can give you something... This thing is definitely worth hundreds of dollars."
Cui Dake knew that his uncle would definitely have a way, so he quickly stood up and massaged his uncle's back and shoulders.
"Uncle, don't worry. I, Cui Dake, will never forget how good you were to me today. I will definitely take good care of you in your old age..."
Lao Cui sighed and stood up and went back to the inner room...
A few minutes later the old man came out holding a small wooden box.
Cui Dake hurried forward to take it, but was clapped his hands by Old Cui.
"Be careful, this thing is very valuable! It is a treasure in the palace... When I was... Forget it, let's not talk about these things. You can exchange it for money or ginseng..."
Old Cui slowly opened the wooden box, and a full green jade ruyi appeared in front of Cui Dake.
Even though it is only about 15 centimeters, such a large piece of imperial green jade is extremely rare...
"Uncle, this... this is valuable! Isn't it just a jade ruyi?"
Lao Cui patted his nephew on the head again...
"You know nothing. When I was young, I learned cooking in Fengtian... I followed my master to the palace to cook. I brought this thing with my life on the line..."
Thirty years ago, when it was still Manchukuo, Lao Cui learned to be a chef in Fengtian. Once, by chance, he took advantage of a banquet held in the palace and sneaked in to steal the treasure.
Cui Dake smiled and immediately realized that this was a good thing.
"Thank you uncle, I understand! Wait for my good news!"
Cui Dake thus pried the treasure from Lao Cui. Since Lao Cui said it was a treasure from the palace, Cui Dake was confident that he could exchange it for ginseng.

eight pm
Courtyard house
This time, Qiao Sanli didn't play rock-paper-scissors with her sister...but just crawled over to help her brother Lin Chen soak his feet.
Today, Sister Huairu and Sister Bailing both recognized me! Then I am a legitimate little maid...
When Qiao Simei saw her sister was about to run away, she immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"Sister, where are you going? Aren't we all playing rock-paper-scissors to see who wins?"
Qiao Sanli shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
"No need to do that in the future, I'll go... You wait at home and don't eavesdrop on other people's conversations..."
Qiao Simei had already regretted it... She should have gone last time! Opportunities don't come every day, and if you miss it, you have to wait for several more days.
"No, no, let's change the rules this time... Whoever wins goes! Sister Huairu also praised me for being so pretty today! I want to have my feet massaged, and I want steamed buns too."
