Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The old woman looked embarrassed when she heard Lin Ran talking about buying a bowl.This is like going to a pork shop to buy knives. You can sell them but it always feels awkward.

“It’s so expensive to buy a new bowl now, and you have to go to town to buy such a big bowl.”

Lin Ran knew that in order for the old woman to accept his proposal, in addition to giving sufficient reasons, he also had to give enough money.

"Old lady, I'll give you [-] cents for tea and bowls, as well as the money you spent wasting your time. Do you think that's okay?"

The price quoted by Lin Ran was considered reasonable, but she had used the bowl for many years and suddenly sold it at the request of her. The old woman was still a little reluctant to part with it.

"Old lady, help me, it's too cold, and going to a funeral is a strenuous task."

Lin Ran covered his hands and sighed while continuing to discuss with the old woman.

"Okay, okay, it's not easy to see you young guys, so hurry up and quench your thirst."

Lin Ran was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard that the old woman was willing to sell the bowl.

"Young man, how happy are you to drink ginger tea?"

Lin Ran laughed so hard that the old woman was also amused, and she didn't know what she was having fun with.

"Old lady, I'm really happy to have such a sip of hot ginger tea to warm up my body in the winter."

"Okay, okay, then go and warm up your brothers!"

Lin Ran took out [-] cents from his pocket and handed it to the old woman. Then he excitedly left the tea stall holding the big bowl.

After leaving the tea stall, Lin Ran happily held the big bowl and walked closer to his broken three-wheeler. Seeing that it was some distance away from the tea stall, Lin Ran quickly took a few sips and poured out the excess tea.

Such a big ocean bowl, plus it was filled with tea, was not light. Lin Ran's hands were already sore while holding it all the way.

He carefully placed the empty colorful ocean bowl in the car and wrapped it around with something soft. After confirming that it was correct, Lin Ran pedaled away on the tricycle with some excitement.

After riding for a long distance, Lin Ran stopped the car and saw that no one was around. Lin Ran quickly got out of the car and took a closer look at the colorful ocean bowl.

"Good stuff! Good stuff!"

There was no one around, only Lin Ran could be heard muttering to himself.

The bowl held in Lin Ran's hand was estimated to be a foot wide. It was no longer a small object. The bowl may have been soaked in tea all year round, making the originally fine multi-colored glaze more transparent.

The bottom of the bowl is inscribed with the year of Jiajing. The writing is generous and powerful, and the response is clean and neat.

The pattern on the bowl body depicts woodcutter, fishermen and farmers, and the scene is depicted in an elegant yet complete manner. The careful attention to detail and the white space complement each other, making the picture more transparent.The characters are all different, and people from different professions are vividly portrayed.

Lin Ran held the bowl in his hands but did not dare to lift it too high, fearing that he would injure the bowl if his hands slipped.

Such a bowl is a wrong choice whether it is collecting or selling it. Lin Ran observed the bowl carefully and couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

Even in this era, Lin Ran felt that there were thousands of possibilities for this bowl, but he just had to find a better buyer.

It was still early, so Lin Ran did not go home early because he received the good things, because Lin Ran knew that receiving things required luck. Although he was good enough in his eyes, as long as good things appeared in front of him, Lin Ran would not miss them. , but I am afraid that I will be too unlucky and not get anything good.

But judging from the trend of the past few days, Lin Ran's luck is not very good, so it is very likely that he will continue to pick up opportunities.

In a good mood, Lin Ran didn't mind anything that was not a bad thing. He carefully wrapped the colorful ocean bowl, placed it in the corner of the broken three-wheeler, and happily rode his broken three-wheeler to Xiahe Village.

"Collect the junk, beer bottles, soy sauce bottles, and all kinds of glass bottles that can be exchanged for money!"

"Black leather shoes, white sandals, and old cloth shoes that can't be worn anymore!"

After shouting all the way, Lin Ran came to Xiahe Village again. To say that Lin Ran had a good impression of this village, after all, everyone greeted him warmly before, and he even picked up a Ming Dynasty lattice door for free.

But this time, as soon as Lin Ran entered the village, many people took the initiative to attract them.Lin Ran was also at a loss as to why he had become the center of attention when he collected the rags.

"Brother, collect the rags here!"

"The rag collector comes here first!"

"We have a lot of stuff at home, come to our house first!"

The enthusiasm in Xiahe Village made Lin Ran feel helpless. For a while, the sounds from all around surrounded Lin Ran tightly.

"Why should I go to your house to collect it first? You should come to our house first!"

"Why can't you come to our house first? I shouted first."

"Who heard you shout first?"

Several villagers began to argue endlessly, and soon it became more and more intense. Some people even walked out of their homes and started arguing.

In fact, this is often the case. There was nothing serious at first, but the quarrel between a few people became more and more fierce. In the end, the matter continued to evolve and escalate, and eventually turned into a fierce conflict.

"Collect yours first? What will happen when the collection is full?"

"It's full, don't you know how to wait for next time?"

"Who knows when the next time will be? Do people like this use it every day?"

After hearing this, Lin Ran finally understood. It turned out that because the price for collecting rags by himself was higher than the price offered by outsiders, these women all wanted Lin Ran to go to their home first, fearing that Lin Ran would collect it later. They won't accept it when it's full. After all, Lin Ran only rode a broken three-wheeler.

Thinking that he was being treated as a fool, Lin Ran laughed instead of being angry.Thinking about how I had taken advantage of myself in Xiahe Village before, I still felt guilty. Now it seems that this group of people also want to take advantage of themselves.

Since everyone is talking about business, this is fine.Lin Ran didn't have any burden in his heart and was ready to pick up the leak with peace of mind.

"As long as there is rags, I will be here, don't worry!"

With Lin Ran's voice, everyone became quiet.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was convinced that Lin Ran was a fledgling, and they rushed to take advantage of them.

"I'm coming one by one, don't panic!"

As he spoke, Lin Ran rode his tricycle and stopped in front of a house.

"It's all here!"

As soon as Lin Ran walked in, the owner of the house didn't have any unnecessary nonsense. He took Lin Ran to weigh the junk in a familiar manner.

Looking at the glass bottles and paper boxes on the ground, Lin Ran knew that he wouldn't be able to find any treasures without looking carefully. But if he had known that it would not be so easy to find the missing items, Lin Ran weighed them with a smile.

"It's still five cents a catty, this is still three catties and six taels, a total of eighteen cents."

The family didn't even look at the title. In their minds, how could a stupid young man like Lin Ran play with the title?

"Do you have anything else to collect?"

"No more, no more, that's all. Come back next time!"

The rag seller was very happy, thinking that Lin Ran was really stupid. He charged a high price and asked if there were more. It was a pity that these were the rags at home. If he had known that people like Lin Ran were coming to collect them. He kept a year's worth of rags and waited for Lin Ran to collect them.

Lin Ran didn't care that the price for collecting rags was higher. He was disappointed that there was nothing other than rags for him to see, so he turned around and walked to another store.

"Is there any tatters?"

"Some, some, just waiting for you to collect them."

Lin Ran was greeted warmly as soon as he entered the house. Lin Ran knew that it was not for anything else, but that they all wanted to sell the rags to him at a high price.But it doesn't matter. For Lin Ran, the main income itself is not living on rags.Since it can deceive people.And why not?

The owner of the house took Lin Ran to the backyard and saw a pile of old glass bottles and some paper products. Lin Ran weighed them and looked around the house to see if there were any old items that could be collected.

After looking around, Lin Ran didn't see anything good, so he could only collect the junk first.

"The total is seven pounds and eight taels, thirty-nine cents."

The people who received the money were also happy. Lin Ran knew that he was treating himself as a fool again, but it didn't matter to Lin Ran. After all, it was good that more people were willing to let him collect rags.

Only when you have the opportunity to collect rags will you have the opportunity to get in touch with the old objects in their home. If you are not willing to let Lin Ran collect rags, then it is a missed opportunity!
