Chapter 98 Rosewood furniture throughout the house
Lin Sophora flavescens is also smiling, looking harmless to humans and animals:
"Isn't this a new society? These pieces of furniture that represent decadent capitalism are just a pile of waste materials after all. If we buy them back, we can just use the remaining heat. Otherwise, in a few years, they will just be burned on the fire."
A staff member carrying furniture nearby laughed and said:
"What's good about this kind of shabby furniture? Let's talk about this bed. It looks beautiful. Who knows how many people have died on this bed and how unlucky it is to sleep on it? I don't want it for free. I tell you, you might as well build it again. A new bed.”
Lin Sanqi's face turned dark when he heard this. This was the bed he wanted to sleep on. People in Huadu were superstitious and were taboo about such things.
Lin Sophora flavescens didn’t take it seriously:
"Young people are very angry and can be controlled. Besides, hiring someone to build a bed with labor and wood is very expensive. This money is more than enough to buy a second-hand bed."
The salesperson also calculated at this time:
"Old comrade, these furniture are good items, but they are more expensive. They cost you 310 yuan in total."
Several staff members shook their heads slightly when they heard this, with quite disdain on their faces.
310 yuan is their year's salary. They can't understand that spending one year's salary to buy a bunch of old furniture is not a stick.
Lin Sanqi saw the expressions of these staff members, and then looked at the admiring expression on the male salesperson's face, thinking that this was the difference in cognition.
Many people accuse Ma Modu of making shady money. The antiques he bought for a few dollars have appreciated in value to hundreds and tens of millions in a few decades, which is very unethical.
Now the opportunity is before these staff members. Are they willing to spend a few dollars to buy a broken table and broken bottles?
Therefore, the cognitive gap makes these staff members deserve to suffer.
But if it were this male salesperson with this vision and some financial resources, he would definitely buy up old furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the early days of reform and opening up.
This kind of person is just like Ma Modu. He has the opportunity to become a very rich man in an era. Even if he is not a very rich man, it will be a trivial matter to have a few houses in the capital in the future.
Lin Sophora flavescens readily handed over the money, and also gave an additional 2 yuan for transportation fees, and asked the trust store to deliver the goods to her door.
When all the furniture was delivered to Gege's house, the neighbors in the yard came out to watch the fun.
Ji Bird Hou Daya was the first to run out. When he saw the staff carrying the furniture, his face turned red and he said with disdain:
"Hey, what is this thing? It's just a table and a few cabinets. Why is it so laborious? It's useless!"
The staff member was so angry that he almost vomited blood and couldn't help but retort:
"Hey, lesbian, you are really standing without fear of backache. This furniture is very heavy, much heavier than ordinary furniture."
Season Birds and Monkeys are still disdainful:
"Shit, it's like there's no cabinet or table in your house. I can raise it with one hand when I'm cleaning. Do you four gentlemen have kidney deficiency? Hahaha~~"
The people around also chuckled, and everyone laughed at the trust store staff.
After all, Matchmaker Wang came from the old society. She often visited wealthy people’s homes back then, so she has some insights:
"I think this furniture is extraordinary. The carved dragons and phoenixes look beautiful, but it's a pity that they are all second-hand."
Ji Niaohou snorted disdainfully:
"Doctor Lin is really awesome. The main room where his eldest son and second son are hospitalized is all made of new furniture, and he throws it into the back garden for the younger son. The house is so dilapidated that it can be blown by a strong wind. Quite the opposite.
The furniture we buy is all second-hand. The key is that Mr. Lin is not married yet. If he is using something old now, he will probably not exchange it for a new one when he gets married. Tell me, born to the same parents, why is there such a big gap? ”
Hearing the strange behavior of Ji Niaohou, it became lively, and many neighbors began to talk about it:
"That's right, second-hand furniture has been used by others. Who knows how much bad luck and bad luck has been involved..." "It must be bad luck. Of the rich families back then, after liberation, every family was not ruined. If you really want to live, this furniture will be the same." It won’t be sold...”
"It's me. It's hard to find the younger son. At least he needs to buy a new set of furniture. It's not like the Lin family doesn't have money..."
"I guess all the money will be left to the eldest son and the second son. I'm partial..."
"Hey, keep your voice down, the Lin family is here..."
Lin Sanqi and Lin Sophora flavescens were carrying an imperial chair and happily walking across the yard to the back garden.
Lin Sanqi was in a good mood and didn't forget to say hello: "Hey, are you resting? Why don't you come to help me?"
Ji Bird Monkey rolled his eyes and pretended to be pitiful and said:
"Hey, boy, I said, my parents are so rich, why do they still buy you old things? I will throw them away now, and I won't tolerate this!"
The powerful and powerful horse also goes to the fire and says:
"All three sons must be fair and just. Your eldest brother and second brother live in the main house, and let you live in the back garden. Are you not afraid that a female ghost will kill you in the middle of the night? Let me tell you, let the old man and the old lady live in that shabby house in the back garden. , you will live in the main house like your two brothers!”
Lin Kushen smiled indifferently when she heard her neighbors sowing discord. Jin Caifeng was about to get angry when she heard her youngest son speak:
"You guys don't understand. The main house is as good as the main house, and the back garden is just as wonderful as the back garden. Although it's a little more remote, a little deserted, a little messy with weeds, a lot more pests and mice, and the house is in ruins. A little, but it’s quieter. How free do young people live? ”
Matchmaker Wang couldn't bear it when she heard it. She thought to herself that this guy from the Lin family is really a 250-year-old:
"I bet you also know that the back garden is not good? Then you still want to live there? Are you not afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes in this summer?"
Lin Sanqi carried the Taishi chair and walked toward the back:
"Filial piety comes first, brother is respectful to brother and brother is humble. This is the conscience of our generation of scholars. How can we let our parents live in a broken house and live in a big house? Goodbye to you!"
After Lin Sanqi left, Ma Dazhuang realized:
"Ah, is this kid scolding us for having no conscience, not being filial to our parents, and not uniting our brothers?"
The seasonal monkey spit on the ground:
"Bah, intellectuals are bad breeds. The more knowledgeable they are, the more reactionary they are. They even curse people in circles, which makes them sour."
"It's just that if a dog bites Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know a good heart, so he will be bullied by his brothers in the future!"
Looking at the room full of furniture, Jin Caifeng nodded with satisfaction:
"This is like a home, but I have wronged you, Zaizai. When conditions are better in the future, your dad and I will buy me a new house and new furniture."
Lin Sanqi burst out laughing:
"Mom, don't you understand? The furniture my dad picked out can all be family heirlooms. They are all made of rosewood. Who is as proud as me? It's too late for me to be happy."
Lin Sophora flavescens wiped the furniture and said with a smile:
"When it comes to discernment, it has to be my youngest son. The eldest and the second, haha, I can't come in time..."
