Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

A woman rushed out from the family courtyard. Her short, ear-length hair was already gray and had not been trimmed for a long time. She was pinned with a black hairpin in front of her forehead. She looked not energetic at all.

The woman's pale face was full of anxiety. When she saw Yuanni holding the fragments, she started to grab them, "I won't sell them, give them back to me quickly."

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore. "Xiao Xu, your man sold this. What does it have to do with this little girl? Don't lose your temper."

It turns out that this woman's name is Xiao Xu, and she is married to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and slapped Xiao Xu in a circle, "When did it become your turn to make the decision in this family?"

"This thing can't be sold, please return it to me quickly." Xiao Xu was beaten until the corner of his mouth was bleeding, but he ignored it and still wanted to grab the pieces.

Seeing that she was anxious, Yuanni could only hand the fragment to her, "This is a fragment."

"I know, I won't sell the broken pieces." Xiao Xu got the broken pieces and held them in his arms like a treasure, with patina everywhere on his clothes.

Her man felt that he had lost face, so he grabbed Xiao Xu's hair and slapped her again, "Everything in the house belongs to me, give me the things quickly."

"No, I can't give it to you."

The man Xiao Xu kicked him up again, "Give it to me quickly."

"No."

But in just a few minutes, Xiao Xu's man beat Xiao Xu until he was rolling all over the floor, and the latter clung to the broken pieces.

"Okay, okay, stop it, Xiao Huo, this is your lover, do you want to beat her to death?" The old lady panicked and pulled Xiao Xu desperately.

But she was too weak to pull away, so she could only stand in front of Xiao Xu. As a result, her fists and kicks fell on the old lady.

"That's enough. You're a grown man. What's the point of beating your lover? You're so powerful, why don't you go hunting tigers in the mountains?"

Yuan Ni couldn't stand it any longer, so she took Xiao Xu's wrist and twisted it with her backhand. There was a click, and the latter's shoulder was removed.

This time it was Xiao Xu's turn to scream, "What are you doing?"

The old lady stood up tremblingly, "Xiao Huo, are you still a man? What's the point of hitting a woman?"

Yuan Ni helped the old lady and checked her, "The problem is not big, it's just some skin injuries. Do you want to call the police?"

Beating your wife is an internal conflict within the family. Who did the old lady offend? She is a victim and as long as she is willing to call the police, a case can be opened.

Before the old lady could say anything, Xiao Xu had already gotten up, "Why call the police? Don't call the police. This is a matter between us. Why are you, an outsider, meddling in this?"

Yuanni looked at Xiao Xu and said, "It's your own business whether you want to be beaten or not. Why should this lady suffer along with you?"

The old lady sighed, "Forget it, we are all from the same courtyard."

She held her waist with her hands and walked with a limp. It looked like she was struggling.

Although the fragments in Xiao Xu's hands are of great value, Yuanni doesn't want to talk to this person, but she is quite enthusiastic and kind-hearted.

Yuanni then pushed the cart and called to the old lady, "Madam, you sit in the cart and I'll take you in."

"That's a good feeling, thank you." With Yuan Ni's help, the old lady got on the tricycle.

Yuanni pushed the cart and left.

"Hey, what happened to my Lao Huo's shoulder? Did you do it? Don't run away, why don't you take him to the hospital first?" Xiao Xu yelled.

The old lady turned back and said, "The fight between you two is not serious. If you hurt yourself, don't frame it against others."

The old lady saw Yuanni take action. The reason why she was willing to help Yuanni was that she felt that the girl was kind-hearted and did not want her to be involved in an unreasonable disaster.

Xiao Xu was so angry, "Mrs. Guo, we all live in the same courtyard, why are you facing outsiders?"

"You and your man are sleeping in the same bed, why would he hit you?" Mrs. Guo retorted.

Xiao Xu was speechless and could only watch the two of them leave.

Yuan Ni looked back and saw that Xiao Xu's nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten, and he was still holding the piece of metal tightly in his hand.

Collecting antiques requires fate, and Yuan Ni quickly averted her gaze as she was too anxious to eat hot tofu.

Although she couldn't take a closer look, the size and shape of the object were already engraved in Yuanni's mind.

The moment she took possession of this object, Yuanni's palms felt as if they were burned. The degree of burning could only be compared to the bronze cauldron she found at the veterinary station.

Considering the crisp and fragile texture of bronze, Yuan Ni initially concluded that this fragment belonged to a large bronze vessel.

The evolution history of human civilization is actually the history of the evolution of metals. Even though bronze has the word "copper" on it, its texture is actually very brittle. You can break off a piece of an ancient bronze vessel with just your hands.

Yuanni estimated that the fragment in Xiao Xu's hand was accidentally broken off from the large bronze vessel. The bronze vessel must be particularly precious, or it must have some secret that cannot be seen.

So Xiao Xu would rather be beaten than expose this secret.

"My dear daughter, you are such a good person." Mrs. Guo said with emotion.

Yuanni's train of thought was interrupted, and she simply stopped thinking, "You are the good person. You were protecting Xiao Xu just now, but she turned around and disowned you."

"Xiao Xu is like this. Her man, Xiao Huo, has a bad temper and is not good to her at all. He hits her whenever he gets the chance. Not only does she tolerate it herself, but she often advises others to tolerate Xiao Huo as well.

I also don't have a long memory. I knew she was this kind of person, but I still helped her time and time again. "Old Mrs. Guo sighed.

"People don't appreciate kindness, but God appreciates kindness. Good people will be rewarded." Mrs. Guo is a kind person. Yuan Ni can't criticize her, so she can only attribute everything to God.

"That's exactly what you said. It suits me very well." Mrs. Guo felt that she had met her confidant and clapped her hands happily.

According to Mrs. Guo, she and Xiao Xu and Xiaohuo used to work in the same workshop. "When they first entered the workshop, I was already a master and an apprentice."

No wonder, the couple are quite old, and Mrs. Guo still calls them Xiao Xu and Xiaohuo. It turns out that she and Xiao Xu and Xiaohuo's master are from the same generation.

The two chatted for a few words and then arrived at Mrs. Guo's house.

The Optical Instrument Factory is a large factory. Their family courtyard is particularly well built, and the rows of public buildings are particularly neat.

Some residents also put up fences at the door and piled some coal bricks and other things.

Mrs. Guo warmly invited Yuan Ni, "Daughter, come to my house to sit for a while and have a drink of water before leaving."

Yuanni wanted to ask about Xiao Xu's situation, so she smiled and nodded, "Excuse me, I'm thirsty."

"Then don't be polite and come in quickly."

There are two rooms in the house that Mrs. Guo lives in. The two rooms are connected. There is a dining table in the outer room and a bedroom in the inner room.

The old lady was very enthusiastic, and while filling the thermos bottle with water, she said, "Don't worry, sit down, I have no one at home. The old man went out to play chess, and my son works out of town."

Yuan Ni smiled and nodded, "Do the couple just live here too?"

"Not here, their house is still behind, two or three rows away from me. You don't know, their house..."

As soon as Yuan Nier introduced the topic, Mrs. Guo couldn't wait to talk.
