Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin returned home with doubts.
What happened at the entrance of the alley just now has left them still unable to recover.
If someone comes out of the blue and wants to buy something they don't know about, under normal circumstances, they will definitely be wary and suspicious.
But the problem is, not only did they say their name, but they also stated that they were graduates of Peking University and left their phone numbers.
Students from Peking University, as for coming here to deceive them? It’s impossible even if you think about it.
If they were not lied to, could what the other party said be true? Do they really have a huanghuali post box at home?
"Lao Su, what do you think of what just happened?" Liu Xueqin asked her husband.
Su Hongwen also looked at the paper with the phone number written on it. Hearing his wife's words, he replied: "Actually, as long as we make this call, we can know whether Xiao Wu is lying to us; but I think this possibility is very small. He
But students from Peking University won’t come to deceive us two ordinary people, right?”
Liu Xueqin nodded and said: "I am thinking the same thing as you, I just think this matter is too strange. They didn't ask us for money or say anything. Instead, they said they would spend a thousand yuan to buy our things. This is not very strange."
Like a liar."
Su Hongwen: "But the problem is, we don't have that kind of box at all?"
"This is what I find strange. We don't even know about our things. How did he know about it?"
While the two were talking, Grandma Su walked in from outside.
"Hey, you two came back together today?"
"Mother."
When Liu Xueqin saw her mother-in-law, she suddenly thought that they didn't know much about the things at home, but her mother-in-law, who was at home every day, must know much more about the things at home than they did.
So she asked: "Mom, do we have a yellowish wooden box at home? There are also wooden posts with many words engraved on it."
When Su Hongwen heard his wife's words, he also looked at his mother.
Grandma Su looked confused: "Why do you think of asking this?"
Su Hongwen explained: "Mom, when we just came back, we met a person. He said he wanted to buy a huanghuali post box from us, but neither Xueqin nor I had seen this at home, but he didn't
It’s pretty certain that the stuff is at our house, so we thought of asking you.”
"Yes, Mom, if you think about it carefully, he said he was willing to spend a thousand yuan to buy that thing. I think the fact that he paid so much means that the box must be very valuable."
Liu Xueqin added at the side that a thousand yuan made her heart beat, but what concerned her more was the huanghuali note box the other party mentioned.
When Grandma Su heard her daughter-in-law say that the thing was worth a thousand yuan, she suddenly looked shocked and then started to think about it.
"It's so valuable, let me think about it."
Although Grandma Su was old, she was not confused. After thinking carefully for a while, she suddenly thought of it.
"Oh, when I think about it, there seems to be a wooden box that is very similar to what you mentioned."
Su Hongwen immediately urged: "Mom, please bring it over quickly and show it to us."
"Okay, the stuff is in my room. Just wait, I'll take it out now."
With that said, she walked into her room, and after a while, she came out holding a wooden box.
"This is it."
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at the wooden box on the table curiously. The color of the box was indeed a little yellowish, and it looked a bit old.
"open to take a look."
Su Hongwen opened the wooden box and found that it was full of thread balls.
Grandma Su said: "I don't think this wooden box is of much use, so I use it for sewing. It's quite useful."
If Han Chunming saw this scene, he would probably faint with anger. Such a precious treasure was actually used as a sewing box.
Is there any heavenly principle?
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin didn't care, they just took out the needlework balls inside, and then saw the golden nanmu wood posts in the box.
"The love of chrysanthemums is rarely heard of by Empress Tao. Who can share the love of lotus..."
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin were shocked when they saw this piece of Ailian and looked at each other.
"That Xiao Wu, what he said is actually true."
"Is this thing worth a thousand dollars?"
Liu Xueqin looked suspicious, but Su Hongwen said: "I can't say for sure. I think this box is a bit unusual. If you meet someone you like, it's possible that it will cost you one thousand yuan, or even more, but it's not certain."
Grandma Su asked from the side: "Is there really someone who wants to buy this box for a thousand yuan?"
Su Hongwen nodded and said, "Well, he also left us his phone number. We didn't know it before, but now that we know it, should we call him?"
"Don't fight yet."
Liu Xueqin stopped Su Hongwen: "Don't fight for now. We don't know the value of this thing at all. When he says one thousand, is it really just one thousand? Maybe it may be more than one thousand?"
"That makes sense."
Su Hongwen also agreed very much. Their family's conditions were not bad, so naturally they would not be blinded by a thousand dollars.
"Mom, where did this box come from? I don't think I've seen it before."
Liu Xueqin also looked at her mother-in-law with the same curiosity. They had no idea that such a valuable thing was hidden in their home.
Grandma Su was afraid that they would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "This thing does not belong to our family. Do you still remember the night when Mengmeng was admitted to college and we and the Cheng family celebrated the night for our two children?"
"What does that have to do with this wooden box?"
"That night, didn't that guy Han Chunming come over and give Su Meng a gift, which was this wooden box."
Only then did Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin react.
"Mom, are you saying that this wooden box was given to us by Han Chunming, not from our family?"
"Yes, it was given to Mengmeng by the boy from the Han family. You didn't care at the time, so I took it. Later, Mengmeng didn't want to go back after seeing it. I just put it in the room and used it as a sewing box.
Are things really worth that much?”
Grandma Su couldn't help but ask again. One thousand yuan was not a small amount of money for their family. This wooden box was actually worth so much money, and according to her son and daughter-in-law, it might be worth more.
How could she not care.
Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin looked at each other for a few times, and finally Su Hongwen said: "Since Han Chunming gave it to Mengmeng, we can't sell it. We should wait for Mengmeng to come back, tell her about this, and let her do it herself
Decide."
Grandma Su agreed: "You are right, this is a gift from the Han family to Mengmeng. We cannot dispose of it casually."
Liu Xueqin asked: "Then Xiao Wu, should we still call him today?"
Su Hongwen thought for a while and said: "I won't call you for the time being, but I'll keep the phone number for later."
"Okay, I'll keep it."
When Su Meng came back in the evening, Su Hongwen and Liu Xueqin told her what had happened, and Su Meng was also shocked.
"Really or not, is this wooden box really that valuable?"
Su Hongwen said: "It cannot be said that Xiao Wu is willing to pay one thousand, but others may not be willing to pay. It may be more, but it may also be less."
Liu Xueqin said: "Mengmeng, why don't you return this thing to Chunming, we can't take advantage of others."
"Mengmeng, what your mother said makes sense. This is not our thing after all. Although it was given to you by Chunming, we didn't know its value before. Now that we know its value, we can't pretend to be confused.
, greedy for this advantage."
Su Meng hesitated and said: "Chunming gave this to me four years ago, and I'm giving it back now. What's going on?"
"What's more, Han Chunming may not be short of money now. Look at our alley, who can afford a motorcycle? Only Han Chunming can afford it. Maybe they don't care about it at all."
In fact, she was very happy when she knew that the wooden box Han Chunming gave her was worth so much, because she felt that Han Chunming valued her.
But Liu Xueqin didn't think so. Even though Han Chunming seemed to be rich now, in her eyes, he was still a cynical second-rate man who didn't seek advancement, had no future, and was not worthy of her daughter at all.
So she hoped that her daughter could return the things to Han Chunming and draw a clear line with Han Chunming.
"Mengmeng, whether they care or not, now that we know it, we should return it to them."
"Mom, didn't I tell you that this gift was given to me by Han Chunming four years ago? What if I return it to him now?"
