Rebirth of Bloody Romance

When Zhong Yuemin saw the furniture Li Kuiyong mentioned, his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg. He was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time, and no one noticed the gleam in his eyes.

Zhong Yuemin stared ahead with a surprised look on his face. In front of him, there were two Huanghuali chairs and two red sandalwood chairs, and some furniture seemed to be made of agarwood. Except for a red sandalwood chair with a broken leg, the other furniture was intact. The value of these furniture was enough for him to live a carefree life in his later years, because agarwood was a precious material calculated by grams in later generations.

Zhong Yuemin was deeply shocked. He had never thought that he would see such precious furniture with his own eyes. These furniture are not only a symbol of material wealth, but also a cultural heritage and a witness to history. Huanghuali and red sandalwood are both treasures of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. Their unique texture and fragrance make people intoxicated. Agarwood is even known as the "king of wood". Its fragrance can soothe the soul and bring tranquility and peace.

Zhong Yuemin squatted beside a large rosewood chair and examined it carefully. He held a piece of black wood in his hand. The grain on the wood was undulating like waves. This was agarwood. This kind of wood is generally used to make spices and medicinal materials. It can also be used to make furniture, but they are all inconspicuous furniture because agarwood is very soft and not as strong as hardwood.

Zhong Yuemin felt a strong desire in his heart. He hoped to bring these furniture home and make them a part of his life. He imagined sitting on a huanghuali chair, feeling the comfort and warmth it brought; he imagined sitting on a rosewood chair, savoring the nobility and elegance it exuded; he imagined sitting next to agarwood furniture, enjoying the tranquility and relaxation it brought.

Zhong Yuemin stood up and asked the owner of the furniture, a man in his 30s, "Brother, how are you going to sell these broken furniture?" This guy was quite vicious and directly called other people's treasures junk.

"Didn't I tell him a long time ago? These ones are too old, so I want to make a new set. I want to use the remaining money to marry a wife. I can't pay even a penny less than 500 yuan."

Monkey Butt said sarcastically, "Hey buddy, you are crazy about money. You want to sell these junk for 500 yuan? Why don't you just rob them?"

The man took a look at the monkey's butt. "Not a cent less. I wanted to make a new set of furniture, but I don't have the money, so I can only sell these old ones. If you don't think it's worth 500 yuan, then don't buy it! I'll keep it."

When Zhong Yuemin heard this, he thought it was okay. "Hey, don't worry, buddy. I'm a good bargainer. Although your furniture is a little old and broken, it's all made of solid wood. Although the legs of this eight-immortal table are a little broken, you can just replace the legs. The same goes for this chair. You can use it yourself after it's repaired. But if you want to get married, that won't work. I see that you are really short of money, and getting married is a big event in life. I won't bargain with you. How about you give me those three boxes?"

The man looked at the box that Zhong Yuemin pointed at, and when he saw that it was not a good thing, he immediately smiled. He finally had money to marry a wife. "Are you serious? You are not lying?" At this time, he still didn't believe it.

Li Kuiyong and Ermaozi pulled Zhong Yuemin. "Yuemin, you are stupid. This broken thing costs so much money. It's not worth it! How much does it cost to buy a new one?"

The man was a little anxious. "Do you want to do it or not? You don't play tricks on others like this."

"Yes, of course I don't want to. I'll pay you and get you the goods."

The man laughed after hearing this. "That's good, that's good."

Zhong Yuemin was also very happy. The deal was done. He asked Hou'erbutt and Ermaozi to start carrying away the broken furniture. When they were carrying the three boxes, Hou'erbutt and Ermaozi had a hard time carrying them. "Fuck, why are these broken boxes so heavy? Yuemin, come and help."

Zhong Yuemin also teased the two people. "You two grandsons are not good enough. You are starting to feel weak now."

"Fuck you, you'll know if you try it."

After Zhong Yuemin went over, he discovered that the box was really heavy. "I don't know what kind of wood this box is made of." Soon the room was empty, leaving only the man who was happily counting the money.

In the quiet little courtyard, the sun shines through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows. Zhong Yuemin is enjoying this rare quiet time alone. His eyes fall on the three boxes in the corner of the courtyard, and a sense of curiosity surges in his heart.

There was nothing to see on the surface of these three boxes, so why were they so heavy? Zhong Yuemin walked over and looked at the boxes carefully. He found that although these boxes looked insignificant on the outside, they were extremely heavy. This made him even more curious.

After some observation, Zhong Yuemin found something strange. From the appearance of the box, it was about 80cmx120cm, but the inside of the box was at most 70cmx110cm. This was strange! Who would use a thickness of 10cm to make a box? Is there a layer? Zhong Yuemin's curiosity became stronger, and he decided to break the box open to see. If there was nothing inside, he would not suffer any loss.

He found a hammer and a chisel and prepared to smash the box. During this process, he was filled with anticipation and nervousness. After all, who knew if there was a mezzanine? If so, what was hidden inside? Was it gold, silver, treasure, or precious antiques? Or something else unexpected?

As the box cracked, Zhong Yuemin's curiosity grew. With a series of jingling sounds, the box was opened and there was indeed a layer inside.

Inside the interlayer were neatly arranged gold bars. Zhong Yuemin couldn't believe his eyes. He wiped his eyes and looked carefully again. Yes, there were gold bars.

He quickly opened the compartments of the other two boxes, each of which was filled with gold bars, about 100 in total. He picked up a gold bar and examined it carefully.

This should be from the Republic of China period. This gold bar is unusually large, and one bar is estimated to be about 300 grams. This should be a gold bar from the Republic of China period. Is it called small yellow croaker or large yellow croaker? It should be large yellow croaker.

Zhong Yuemin looked at these golden yellow croakers and counted them carefully, there were 120 in total. The joy in his heart could not be expressed in words, he really made a fortune today.

Zhong Yuemin sat at the worn wooden table, the golden yellow croakers in front of him shone with an alluring light. He counted them one by one again. An indescribable joy surged in his heart. These yellow croakers were his harvest today and also his first pot of gold.

After the excitement, he was silent for a moment, thinking about a lot of things. The price of gold seemed to be at a high level at the end of this year. Should he cash in these yellow croakers? This question lingered in his mind, tempting him to take action.

However, he also knew that it was not so easy to cash in on this era. He might need to go to Hong Kong Island, but that was not a place he could go to whenever he wanted. This made him fall into deep thought, and the joy in his heart was gradually replaced by the reality of the predicament.

Zhong Yuemin walked around the room. The temptation of gold was too great. He lacked the first pot of gold. Next would be the best time to fleece the Japanese. How could he miss it? Suddenly, he made up his mind. He decided to cash in these yellow croakers. He originally wanted to develop slowly. But now he was given such a big surprise, so all plans could be advanced.

Zhou Xiaobai finally had a holiday, and she decided to take Xiao Shihua with her and keep her by her side every day. Xiao Shihua's arrival filled Zhong Yuemin's life with joy.

Zhong Yuemin had something to do every day, playing with his little girl. He liked to see Xiao Shihua's innocent smile and listen to her babyish voice. He felt as if he had returned to his childhood, that carefree time.

When Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun, who were on vacation, found this place, they asked, "Yuemin, you are so mean. I was wondering why I couldn't find you after looking for you several times! Besides, why didn't you call me when there was such a good thing?"

"Aren't you far away? I'm afraid you don't have time. If you want to do it, just follow them and do it together!"

"That sounds like a sentence. I'm going to live here from now on."

Zhong Yuemin understood his expression immediately. "I'm telling you it's okay to live here, just keep the noise down at night. You two can stay in that room!"

Zheng Tong didn't mind, and pointed at the other two rooms curiously and asked, "What are those two rooms used for? Why are the doors locked?"

Zhong Yuemin picked up Xiao Shihua and whispered, "Come on, I'll show you the treasures in my collection to open your eyes."

Zheng Tong teased him. "Let me see what kind of junk it is. Why do you lock it up like a treasure?"

Zhong Yuemin opened the lock, and Zheng Tong exclaimed when he saw it. "Fuck, where did you steal it?"

"Fuck you, what do you mean by stolen? I paid for this."

Zheng Tong looked around and touched them. "Yuemin, are these genuine?"

"Who the hell knows this? I don't understand this stuff! Oh, by the way, didn't your ancestors do this? Do you understand?"

Zheng Tong glanced at him and replied unhappily, "You said it yourself, that's my ancestor, I know nothing about it! But I have a cousin who knows about this business, I'll ask him next time I see him."

Zhong Yuemin heard that he didn't understand anything, so he pulled him out of the room. "Hey, hey, let me watch for a while longer."

"You don't know anything, but you can see through things. Go learn how to repair your electrical appliances and stop messing around here."

"Fuck, I figured out, you're so realistic now." Zheng Tong and Jiang Biyun also lived here from that day on. They didn't have their own house and nowhere to go, so they lived here and could make love at night.

Zhong Yuemin received an admission letter from Yenching University that day. The minimum score for admission was 368 points, and he scored 418 points. Zhou Xiaobai was excitedly reading the letter of admission after being successfully admitted to the Department of Physics. The admission letter was actually a piece of official paper, and it began with a quote from Mr. xxx, a feature of that era. Then there were matters to be notified, including the transfer of household registration and the time of registration. Zhou Xiaobai read every item carefully, his heart filled with longing for the future.

After Zhou Xiaobai finished reading the admission letter, Zheng Tong said to Zhong Yuemin sarcastically with a hint of sourness in his tone, "Yuemin, you actually got into Yanjing! So do you have to treat us?" His words were full of jealousy and resentment.

However, Zhou Xiaobai didn't care about Zheng Tong's ridicule. She happily took over the topic and announced loudly, "Please, of course you should. You have to prepare the money for the gift." Her tone was full of joy and anticipation.

Before Zheng Tong could say anything, a voice came from outside the door. "What kind of happy event is this? What kind of gift money should be given? Why didn't anyone inform me?"

"Fuck, Yuan Jun's grandson is finally back."

"Zheng Tong, you miss me, your uncle?"

"Hey, Yuan Jun, who is that behind you?"

Zhou Xiaobai hadn't noticed it at first, but when he heard Zhong Yuemin's teasing voice, he looked towards the door. Then he stood up in surprise. "Lin Yue, what's going on between you and Yuan Jun?"

When Yuan Jun heard Zhou Xiaobai's question, he took two steps forward and coughed twice. "Let me introduce you solemnly. This comrade Lin Yue is my wife."

"Fuck me!"

"Fuck me!"

Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong didn't know what to say after hearing this. They could only use these two words to describe their current mood. "Yuan Jun, it's great! You don't look good, but you have a lot of tricks. How did you trick her into giving you her money?"

"Yuan Jun, is this also your classmate in kindergarten? Did you play Eagle Catches Chicken back then?"

Yuan Jun laughed and scolded, "You two grandsons, you never say anything nice. You never expect anything good from me. I'm not bragging to you, this is my personality charm, you know?"

"Fuck, please stop blowing me. I'm going to vomit if you do."

"What's wrong, are you pregnant? That's impossible? I've never heard of a man getting pregnant."

"Yuan Jun, damn it."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said to Lin Yue, "I didn't expect you two to be together. Don't worry about what they say. These people are very talkative when they are together."

"I know. He was the trouble maker in the old city. You are already so big now. Tell your aunt what your name is?"

Zhou Xiaobai said to Zhong Shihua, "Tell auntie that my name is Shihua."

Xiao Shihua couldn't explain it clearly. "One, one, four, wow." Everyone laughed after hearing it.

After Zhong Yuemin and the others had a quarrel, they asked, "Yuan Jun, are you being transferred back to the headquarters?"

"Yes, I went to look for you right after I was transferred back, but I couldn't find you. If I hadn't met the traitors, I wouldn't have been able to find you. What are you doing here? And what did you want to follow just now?"

Zheng Tong teased, "Yuan Jun, you don't know this, do you? Yuemin is now the rag-and-bone king and a local rich man. Now Biyun and I are being exploited by him."

"Fuck you, Yuemin, why are you collecting junk instead of being a good instructor? If those rookies like us saw this, they would laugh their heads off."

Zheng Tong said sourly, "This grandson now has another identity, a student at Yanjing University."

"Fuck, Yuemin, did you really pass the exam?"

"To be honest, I'm too lazy to talk to you hooligans. Look at you guys, you don't know how to express yourself when you encounter something, and you always rely on the phrase "fuck you" to get you out of this world."

Yuan Jun looked at Zheng Tong. "I'll let him go if he says so. But you can tolerate it. Why don't you settle the score with him?"

"How about we give him a beating?"

Yuan Jun subconsciously took a step back. Beating Zhong Yuemin was nonsense! "Yuan Jun, why are you so cowardly now?"

Zhou Xiaobai said at this time, "Stop making trouble, we finally got together today, I will treat everyone to a meal. First, to welcome Yuan Jun and Lin Yue back to the headquarters, and second, to celebrate Yue Min's admission to Yan University."

"Okay, I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

"So what are you waiting for? Call everyone you can and have some fun."

"Let's go, comrades, we're leaving from the Xinqiao Hotel."

Zhou Xiaobai laughed and scolded, "You guys are determined to eat me out of money today!"

Zhong Yuemin came out with little Shihua in his arms to join in the fun. "Let's go, comrades. If you follow Big Sister, you'll be hungry for nine meals in three days, and every meal will be annoying." Haha...

As night fell and the lights came on, Zhou Xiaobai stood at the entrance of Xinqiao Hotel, looking at the bustling crowd in front of her with a bright smile on her face. Her long black hair casually fell on her shoulders, and she exuded a unique charm.

After seeing everyone off, the remaining family of three said, "Yuemin, our mother hasn't seen Xiao Shihua for a while. Let's go to her first and then go home, shall we?"

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

Ever since Xiao Shihua was taken away, Chen Yijun always felt uncomfortable. He kept wondering if Xiao Shihua had eaten yet? Did she cry? She didn't even enjoy her meals. Zhou Zhennan glanced at her. "You've eaten less recently? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just have no appetite."

Chen Hongxia smiled and replied, "My aunt wants to write a little poem..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard the sound of the door opening. She also heard Xiao Shihua's voice, so Chen Yijun hurried over to greet her. "Xiao Shihua is back. Come and let grandma hug you. Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, eat."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled. "Mom, we've had dinner. I have good news for you. Yuemin was admitted to Yan University."

"Really? That's really good news."

Zhou Zhennan asked, "What have you been busy with recently? You haven't been back for so many days."

"Dad, I'm not busy with anything. I'm just busy doing nothing."

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Zhou Zhennan said nothing more. "Then you should leave Xiao Shihua here! Your mother won't be able to eat or sleep if she doesn't see her every day."

Zhong Yuemin quickly expressed his opinion. "Mom, can I take it away during the day and bring it to you at night?"

"No need. You are free now, so let Xiao Shihua stay with you! I will send her back when school starts. But why is there no one at your house when I go there?"

Zhou Xiaobai had no choice but to explain the situation, and Chen Yijun nodded. "Okay, I'll go find you there when the time comes."

After the family of three returned home, they told Zhong Shanyue the news of being admitted. Then Zhong Shanyue happily took out the wine and drank it, and then instructed, "Yuemin, tell your mother about this news tomorrow."

"I know dad."
