Yin Yang Antique Shop

Chapter 93 Unprofitable Business
Guan Yilian sent me to the door and helped me move my luggage in. She asked me why I moved back on the way just now, but I didn't tell my true thoughts, after all, it would not be good to spread the word.

She said a few words to the master and left. Xiaotong helped me carry the things up, and even said that my things were heavy.

I wanted to say something to him at first, but when I saw Xiao Tong's figure, I swallowed the words that came to my lips.Xiao Tong didn't look like a normal child at all, he was really good and delicate, but his face was pale all the year round and he was very thin.

Sometimes I feel sorry for him, but Xiaotong is a person with strong self-esteem, if I show my sympathy, he may turn against me.

I told the master what happened to me at Guan Yilian's house, both of them were a little shocked, this kind of crazy person should be arrested and put in jail.

However, I think the Guan family should not make their lives too easy in the future. They are not fools to make so much money, but they have been thinking about Guan Heng's feelings before.

I just hope that in the future, when girls find boyfriends or future husbands, they will be more careful. After all, some people know people but don't know them, and it is very likely that one choice will ruin their life.

After we closed the shop, we went back to our rooms to sleep. I also sent a message to Guan Yilian asking if she was home. It is not safe for a girl to drive so late.

Guan Yilian quickly replied to me, saying that she had arrived home, and I fell asleep at ease. If something happened to her, I would definitely blame myself to death.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the sound of banging on the door. Who was it early in the morning?
I went downstairs in a daze, the master and Xiao Tong had already got up and opened the door, there was a crying man outside the door, he should be an ordinary office worker, but why are you taking pictures of our door so early in the morning?

Sister Lian next door was also woken up, and her man stood aside and looked at us gloatingly, probably because he wanted to see what happened to us to be happy.

"Sir, what are you doing early in the morning?" Because I didn't sleep well, I didn't speak in a good tone.

"I'm sorry... I'm too anxious. I'm the owner of Cuixia Garden. I heard that you have a master who can exorcise ghosts. I just came here because human life is at stake. I'm really sorry." The man He was very polite. The Cuixia Garden he mentioned is just two streets past our shop.

"Come in if you have anything to say." The master turned around and entered the shop after saying a word.

I let the man go in first and poured him a cup of tea. Only now did I realize that he was actually wearing home clothes, a coat over his body, and a pair of cotton slippers on his feet.

"Sir, what do you have to say now, this is our master, and we will know if we can help you after you tell the situation." I sat aside and said.

"Master, I beg you to save my mother, she... she has run into a ghost!" The man's hands were trembling when he said these words, and he didn't even notice the hot tea splashing on his hands.

"Talk slowly, and I will know what's going on when you explain clearly." The master comforted him, telling him not to worry and speak slowly.

"My wife passed away recently, and then my mother was not right. She often smiled strangely at one place by herself, and when she was awake, she knelt on the ground and begged my wife to let her go...I really don't know what to do...Now I also have a young son who cries at home every day, saying that he can see his mother. This morning, my mother finally woke up for a while, but she wanted to commit suicide with a knife. I asked my father to watch my mother and ran over." The man was talking about what happened at home during this time, sweating non-stop.

"Why didn't you come to us before?" The master didn't ask him about the situation at home, but asked him why he didn't come to us before.

The man scratched his head in embarrassment, "At that time, I thought it was because my wife was reluctant to leave the family and didn't think about it, so I just found someone, but I didn't expect that the things that followed were getting more and more out of control, and those people said no. The way...so..."

"Well, do you know that we charge for this here?" I don't understand why the master has to emphasize this, and the previous guests seldom mentioned it.

"Master... How much is that money?" The man's expression changed a few times, and then he asked in pain.

I finally understand why the master asked and I have to explain clearly. If we finish our business, this man will look like the kind of person who will renege on his debts!
This world is still too dangerous. If I am so naive, I might be eaten without any bones left!
"Then it depends on whether the ghost haunting your mother can be subdued. If it is a normal number, if it is a difficult number." The master compared the two numbers.

"Master, I can give you two thousand right now, go and help me see!" The man obviously misunderstood the meaning of the master, and counted the money from his wallet.

"Sir, it's Wan!" I reminded him.

A man is like a cat scalded by boiling water, "Ten thousand? Why don't you grab it?"

After listening to his words, the master's face was so ugly that even I couldn't help but rolled my eyes. It was you crying and begging us to save your mother early in the morning, and now you said kneeling. According to what you mean, we don't accept it. Money is better?

"Sir, if you have nothing else to do, go first, maybe you can find a cheaper price than ours." The master ordered to evict the guest bluntly.

The man's face turned blue and red, and finally he was still reluctant to part with the money and turned away.

When I saw it, I felt that this person was hopeless. The person who was haunted by the ghost was his own mother, not someone else. He could become like this for a little money and raise a white-eyed wolf, really.

It's only after [-] o'clock in the morning, the master drank a few cups of tea and then went out to play chess. His daily life is like this. He occasionally teaches me how to draw symbols or teach me and Xiaotong how to distinguish the authenticity of antiques, but more Most of the time, I still go to the park not far away to find someone to play chess, like an ordinary old man.

Sometimes Xiaotong will go around twice, but most of the time, I still read books with me in the store. What we two often do now is to play backgammon with the little boy next door under the pagoda tree at the door.

He came to us too late, and there are no children to play with him around here. The only thing that can be talked about is that I still have Xiaotong, so we specially called him out to play with him today. The little boy really Very happy, although not very good-looking, but still very cute when he smiles.

I can’t help it, I’m just a face controler, if I’m good-looking, I’ll be happy in my heart, and if I’m not good-looking, I’m fine, but if I’m not good-looking and have a bad temper, why don’t you stay cool? let's go.

Just when we were having fun playing chess, Grandpa Xu, who often comes to find his master to play chess, came over, but today I didn’t see him carrying the thrush that is usually the most precious, and there were several scratches on his face, and his expression was gloomy .

"Grandpa Xu, what's the matter? Are you looking for a master?" I went up to greet the old man, and I was still very polite to the old man.

"It's Xiao Ye Zi, is your master here?" Grandpa Xu usually thought my name was hard to remember, so he gave me a nickname called Xiao Ye Zi.

"He's gone out, playing chess over there in the park!" I pointed to the direction the master was walking in, Grandpa Xu nodded and strode away.

I looked at Grandpa Xu, he seemed to have a little sinister spirit, is his house haunted?

I'll know when the master comes back later, Grandpa Xu must have gone to discuss with the master.

Not long after, the master came back with Grandpa Xu, and the master's face was also a little ugly, I don't know why.

We quickly collected the chess pieces, to see if this situation is really difficult for Grandpa Xu to encounter something difficult?

After hearing what Grandpa Xu said, we also felt quite speechless. The stingy man who was going to die this morning was actually Grandpa Xu's son, so the one who had the accident was Grandpa Xu's wife?But why didn't Grandpa Xu come over and say it himself?
"I just don't want to bother you, Lao Qi. You're definitely not willing to give me money when the time comes, so I let my son come. I didn't expect... I'm really pissed off. Now the old woman in my family is also in a very bad situation." Well, I have no choice but to come to you with the cheeky face." Grandpa Xu took a sip of tea and said in embarrassment.

"Old Xu, you don't think of me as a friend anymore. Don't you know me after we've known each other for so long? You don't know who I am. It's wrong to accept money from you based on our friendship. You still say that, Do you not consider me a friend anymore?" The master stared angrily, and almost sprayed his saliva on Grandpa Xu's face.

"I know, but... I'm so sorry! You also rely on this for a living, how can I... hey..." Grandpa Xu sighed again.

Now I finally understand what it feels like to have a pig teammate. Not only have I lost face, but now I have also lost my face.

"If you give me money, I won't recognize you as a friend. Don't say anything else. Take me to see your wife quickly. You can't delay this kind of thing. I didn't know it was your son this morning... I know... I'm not coming either, what I said was so nasty, I was so angry early in the morning." The master said angrily like an old child.

Grandpa Xu couldn't help laughing, "I don't know about your temper yet. As soon as my son came back and told me about it, I knew something bad happened. Didn't you come over right away?"

"Even if you still know the priorities, this kind of thing is delayed, why didn't you come to me earlier?" The master packed up the things and took us to Grandpa Xu's house together.

"Hey...it's all a crime, and my old face has been lost." Grandpa Xu seemed to be ten years older for a while.

We didn't talk. Usually, Grandpa Xu is a very optimistic person with a good attitude. I don't know what happened in his family that made Grandpa Xu become like this.
