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

She was afraid that Lin Ran would act impulsively and do something he shouldn't do because of family problems.

Lin Ran explained helplessly.

"Mom, have you forgotten that I brought back those paintings before? I sold those paintings today for 600 yuan each, so we have money now."

"It costs 600 yuan to destroy just a few paintings?"

Mother Lin looked surprised and her eyes widened.

In her eyes, these are just worthless rags, and there is really no value in them.

But Lin Ran said that six hundred pieces were sold!

"Yes, those paintings are all masterpieces."

He nodded.

"This is all thanks to you and dad. You are willing to support my study. Knowledge is power. No, I have exchanged knowledge for so much money."

"I didn't steal or rob. There's no shame in using knowledge to make money."

Mother Lin and Lin Wanjun were shocked, and Mother Lin started talking.

"It's good to study, it's better to study! With the blessing of our ancestors, our old Lin family finally has a talent."

"It can be considered worthy of our ancestors."

Mother Lin burst into tears with excitement, and Lin Ran and Lin Wanjun hurried forward to comfort her.

After being comforted by Lin Ran, Mother Lin completely let go of the burden in her heart.

"Okay, okay, are you hungry after a long day of work?"

"Get ready, it's time to eat."

Lin Ran quickly agreed, washed his hands and sat down.

Looking at the dishes on the table, there is finally meat.

Although it's not much, it has a bit of meaty taste, which is much better than the boiled vegetables before.

Lin Ran was not polite. He gave his mother and sister a piece of meat each and started eating it himself.

"Mom, your cooking skills are the best. The meat you cook is so delicious."

"I can eat two big bowls of rice by myself."

After saying that, I didn’t forget to give my mother a thumbs up.

Mother Lin was amused and tapped Lin Ran gently with her chopsticks.

"Okay, don't be so talkative and eat quickly. It won't stop your mouth."

"The meat is delicious, but there is too little."

Lin Ran pretended to be helpless and shook his head.

"Now that we have money, we don't have to be so frugal."

Lin Wanjun immediately raised her hand in agreement.

"I agree, Mom, buy more meat next time, okay?"

Seeing her children acting coquettishly towards her, Mother Lin laughed.

"Okay, okay, buy more next time so that you two can eat enough at one time."

The family gathered together, looking happy and happy.

Lin Ran had not experienced the warmth of family for a long time.

Thinking of the suffering that my mother and sister suffered in the past few years, I feel even more distressed.

In this life, he must rely on his own efforts to make everyone in his family live a good life.

After dinner, it was already getting late. Lin Ran had been tired for the whole day, so he said hello to his family and went to bed directly.

He has already planned to continue collecting waste early tomorrow morning.

Lin Ran had tasted the benefits before and planned to visit other villages to see if he could encounter anything good.

Take advantage of the current opportunity and seize the time to make money. In this life, you will never let your family suffer again, and use your knowledge to protect their happiness!

Early the next morning, Lin Ran got up and found that her mother had already cooked.

"Get up, come and eat."

"Mom, why don't you sleep more."

Lin Ran washed his face and sat at the table. The simple meal was extremely delicious.

"As people get older, they can't sleep anymore. Why do you get up so early?"

"Get ready to go out and collect some old things."

He wolfed it down, finished it quickly, and cleaned up his belongings.

"Mom, I'm leaving first."

Lin Ran waved his hand and stepped out of the door.

We still came to Xiahe Village next door. Because it was located downstream of the river, the people here were poorer than them.

"Collect the junk, beer bottles, plastic bottles, and all kinds of pots and pans that can be exchanged for money!"

"Old kitchen knives, old scissors, old chopping boards, all kinds of unwanted stuff!"

Lin Ran rode slowly and shouted all the way.

This shouting is really a waste of voice. It seems that I have time and need to buy a speaker.

I just shouted all the way into Xiahe Village and walked around half a circle, but got nothing.

He was a little downcast. This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that we can't even collect waste here?

"Recycling at a high price..."

"Young man, you collect the rags, come on!"

Suddenly there was a shout not far away, and Lin Ran suddenly became energetic and watched an aunt waving to him.

"coming!"

Lin Ran quickly parked the three-wheeler outside the aunt's house, and then followed it inside.

"Auntie, do you have any junk at home that you want to sell?"

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a small courtyard, a common rural mud house. There are chickens and ducks raised in the yard, all in a cage.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go to the back to pack it up and bring it to you."

The aunt said and walked inside.

Lin Ran spoke quickly.

"Auntie, do you need any help? I'll do it, right?"

"No, there aren't many things."

The aunt waved her hand, and Lin Ran knew what the other party meant.

He must have been afraid that he was a thief with unclean hands and feet, so he entered the house and took advantage of others.

Since others are worried, there is no need for me to force myself.

The aunt entered the house but didn't come out for a long time. Lin Ran seemed bored and wandered around.

Suddenly I saw a copper basin where the chickens and ducks were eating.

His eyes lit up involuntarily and he immediately rubbed his eyes.

"This might be a good thing."

Lin Ran immediately stepped forward and observed carefully.

The copper basin has some patterns and rust on it, but the material looks like bronze.

He couldn't help but become interested, and just as he was about to reach out and touch it, he heard movement behind him.

"Okay, everything is here."

Lin Ran quickly retracted his hand and pretended to be watching the chicken duck with a casual look.

"Auntie, your chickens and ducks are really well raised. It seems you have a good hand."

When the aunt heard this, she looked a little proud in her eyes.

"That's not because I'm immodest. Ask me, who from all over the country is better at raising poultry than I am?"

"If I say second, then no one would dare to say first."

Lin Ran nodded hurriedly in response.

"That's right. People in the city are beginning to pay attention to health care. I believe these native chickens can be sold at a good price."

"Auntie, it's going to be a bumper harvest this time."

When the topic of interest came up, the aunt started to talk completely.

“I don’t know if it’s a bumper harvest, but I heard that a native chicken in town was sold for more than a dollar!”

"Auntie's chickens and ducks are so well raised, one dollar is too little."

Lin Ran complimented, slowly getting closer to the other person.

As long as the other party puts down their guard, then this time, their goal can be achieved.

"Young man, you are really good at talking. I am a chicken duck, but I am better than others."

"Look at how fat my old hen is. It's a great supplement to make soup."

As he spoke, he pointed to the little rooster on the side.

"Don't look at this little rooster. It's skinny and small, but its meat is so chewy. If you fry it and eat it, it's so delicious that your mouth will water."

Lin Ran looked very serious and nodded while listening.

"There are so many details here."

"Auntie, you know so much. This time, I have learned a lot."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

"Let me see if I can tell the difference between the old hen and the little rooster."

Lin Ran got closer and took a look at the copper basin.

He was even more certain that this was an ancient bronze vessel!

A copper basin with an extravagant mouth, a wide flat folded rim, a curved belly, a flat bottom, and vertical mold marks everywhere. It is in good condition, has old coating, and has exquisite craftsmanship. The four corners are carved with this faucet, and there are four handles outside. Above is a rare fine copper basin.

The patterns and seal-engraved text patterns on it are sharp and silky, at least from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

I really didn’t expect that I could see such good things in this dilapidated little village!
