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

Chapter 53 We must abide by the rules of our ancestors!

Lin Ran's voice resounded throughout the alley, like a loud bell!

Everyone in the market changed their expressions.

At this moment, Lin Ran's body became as thick and tall as a mountain in everyone's eyes.

The girl in the next stall also looked at Lin Ran quietly, her eyes full of admiration.

The boy in front of him actually saw through all of Yang Jianlong's trump cards in just a few minutes of observation.

Facing the arrogant Yang Jianlong, he showed no fear, and his rebuttal was well-founded and convincing, leaving the other party unable to refute.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him in my heart.

Passers-by around him were also talking privately.

"Who is this man?"

"You're quite knowledgeable. It's both jade and dzi beads."

"Looks very young. Is he the son of some collector?"

Recently, Lin Ran's skin was a bit dry due to getting up early every day and collecting rags at night. He was also wearing cheap clothes, and all his belongings combined were not worth a piece of Yang Jianlong's collection.

But when he faced Yang Jianlong, he did not flinch at all, and his eyes were full of determination.

It is truly a treasure in the treasure appraisal circle!

Yang Jianlong was deeply shocked. He opened his mouth to refute but couldn't. He even saw that the people around him who usually nodded and bowed to him were laughing at him.

This is true even for the vendors in the market who had no time to please him.

Instantly furious.

His level of treasure appraisal has always been recognized by the vendors.

Now, because of an unknown guy, the fig leaf has been torn off.

For him who valued face as much as life, it was even more painful than killing him.

His brain became hot and he lost his mind.

He looked so embarrassed that his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ran shook his head and sighed: "As the saying goes, a gentleman nourishes jade, jade nourishes a gentleman, and dzi beads lock his life."

"With so many treasures in your hands, what a waste!"

"But I don't blame you. It's something that no one would want, and only someone like you would treasure it."

Yang Jianlong was furious, but he couldn't argue with the other party.

He could only say, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Even if you tell me a flower today, I will decide on this bronze Buddha and that jade Buddha!"

He didn't dare to cross Lin Ran, so he could only walk to the next stall, throw down a wad of banknotes, pick up the Jade Buddha and leave.

The girl's eyes were full of helplessness, and it seemed that she had special feelings for the Jade Buddha.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to argue with Yang Jianlong, he saw Lin Ran nodded to him in the distance.

The two looked at each other with great understanding, and she actually understood what Lin Ran meant.

"Leave it to him."

The stall owner was about to argue, but the girl whispered: "Forget it, let him."

The stall owner also apologized: "I'm sorry, girl, why don't you look at something else."

"No." The girl left the stall next door and silently came to Lin Ran's side.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable trust and dependence on the strange boy in front of her.

Yang Jianlong was not stopped and came to Wang Xiaosi's stall with the Jade Buddha in his arms.

Having just captured the Jade Buddha, Yang Jianlong's attitude became even more arrogant and he was ready to follow the same example.

He wanted to severely humiliate the poor man in front of him.

He also took out a wad of banknotes, threw them at Wang Xiaosi's stall, and shouted rudely: "Xiaosi, here is 300 yuan! I want this Buddha statue, will you give it to me?"

Wang Xiaosi has never seen so much money.

His eyes were dazzled, and a silly smile unconsciously appeared on his face, and he was about to nod.

But he heard Lin Ran's voice coming like a ghost again.

"I ask you, do you still want these rules?"

Xiaosi's smiling face froze instantly.

He seems to be standing at a difficult crossroads in life. One step forward is wealth, one step back is rules.

He worried about gains and losses. He would look at the money and make a silly smile, and then think about the rules and show a painful expression.

If the money is gone, you can make it again. If you break the rules, you will have to change careers in the future.

After a full meal, he can still carry it clearly!

Without Wang Xiaosi's permission, Yang Jianlong did not dare to rashly snatch the Buddha statue.

On the one hand, he was wary of the forces behind Liulichang, and on the other hand, he was also worried that Lin Ran's words mentioned that doing too many bad things would lead to a short life.

He also made up his mind that as long as Wang Xiaosi nodded, he would immediately run away with the Buddha statue.

People around him were watching everything with interest, and those who knew Wang Xiaosi thought that Lin Ran was destined to lose.

But Lin Ran was unusually calm.

He knew very well that Wang Xiaosi was a smart person and could make the right choice.

Yang Jianlong pointed at Wang Xiaosi and cursed: "Are you going to sell it or not? Nodding your head?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaosi frowned even more tightly.

Because the words Yang Jianlong scolded him next were very harsh and mean, as if he was an employee under his command.

Yang Jianlong wanted to force Wang Xiaosi to submit through threats and intimidation.

Today he really got into a fight with Lin Ran, and he must win this bronze Buddha.

Otherwise, if word spreads that he used ancient corkscrews to pierce his nostrils and brought the dead people's burial objects, it would be a shame!

Lin Ran felt even more relaxed when he saw Yang Jianlong's angry look.

The human heart is complex, and people who appear to be submissive on the surface may also have rebellious emotions inside.

At some point, Lin Ran felt that there was an extra person beside him.

Turning around, I saw the girl from the next stall.

She was full of interest in Lin Ran, and also a little worried, so she temporarily left the stall to check the situation.

She gently bumped Lin Ran's hand with her palm, with some worry on her pretty face.

Lin Ran understood and replied, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Unknowingly, Yang Jianlong no longer competed with Lin Ran, but instead bullied the stall owner Wang Xiaosi.

If he couldn't defeat Lin Ran, would he be unable to defeat a hawker who had been manipulated by him for four or five years?

But Yang Jianlong has always been a layman and does not understand the importance of industry rules.

There is an unwritten rule in the antiques circle: when a sale is in progress, the other buyer must not intervene until the buyer has put down the goods.

The rules here do not have clear laws and regulations, but they have been passed down from thousands of years ago.

Tradition in the true sense, just like the goods they sell.

As long as you want to stay in the antiques circle, you must abide by the rules, otherwise you will be cast aside by the industry.

The eyes and expressions of the people around him all entered Wang Xiaosi's eyes.

He is indeed greedy for money and wants to sell the bronze Buddha at a high price.

But he had indeed negotiated the price with Lin Ran and was ready to trade.

There are two other customers among them, who were listening just now.

There is absolutely no possibility of him defaulting on his debt.

Yang Jianlong was also tired of scolding and panted heavily on the spot.

Wang Xiaosi finally gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and said reluctantly:

"Boss Yang, I'm really sorry."

"Although we are not good people, we must abide by the rules of our ancestors."

"I can only sell this bronze Buddha to this little brother!"

He finally made his choice, and for some reason, the crowd cheered.

Lin Ran took it for granted, he already knew the result.

Yang Jianlong was naturally dissatisfied and wanted to take action.

At this moment, a group of people appeared at the corner not far away.

A man in his 60s or [-]s walked at the front of the team.

Yang Jianlong's face was flushed, and his mind was filled with the laughter of people laughing at him for wearing the blood jade and the bloody dzi beads, which he couldn't get rid of.

The antiques boss he had pretended to be for so long was completely torn apart.

In anger, he wanted to raise his hand to use violence against Wang Xiaosi, but was stopped instantly by a stern voice.

"Yang Jianlong! Get back here!"
