What's the little thing?
Gu Mei almost burst out laughing on the spot. Second Aunt actually said that her jade sheep and Pixiu were small toys?
If these two things were really trivial, then relying on Erniang's family background, it would be hard to even call them trivial matters.
The mother of the little fatty turned her head and glanced at Gu Mian, lowering her head to look at her son who was still squirming in his arms: "Since it's just a small toy, if he likes it, I'll buy it for him. Later, I'll give you the money. This kind of commotion will have a bad influence on others."
"We also knew that he followed Xiaojun to my niece's house to play, and after seeing those two things, he couldn't bear to leave. We had to use a lot of effort to persuade him to leave, and when he came back, we even bought him two alternative items. Who would have thought that today, after seeing my sister-in-law, he remembered again, and didn't even want the alternatives we bought for him." Second Aunt sighed, her tone filled with helplessness.
The little fatty's mother rubbed her forehead, apparently having some understanding of her son's behavior: "Good boy, Mom will buy you other toys, okay? After lunch, I'll take you to get whatever you want, okay?"
"No, no, just want little lion, little sheep!" Little fatty shook his head hastily.
"Ah, you child..." Little Pangzi's mom gently pinched Little Pangzi's cheek, thought for a moment and then turned to face Gu Mian: "Gu..."
"Gu Mian." Er Shu timely reminded from beside.
"Gu Mian, how much are these two things? If it's convenient for you, let me buy them from you." The little fatty's mom hadn't been impolite to the point of directly asking him to give them away, but rather wanted to negotiate a purchase.
"It's inconvenient." Gu Mian said with a smile on her face, but the words that came out were not polite at all.
The little fatty originally looked at Gu Mian with a face full of expectation, but after hearing Gu Mian's answer, he immediately became unhappy again, pulling on his mother's clothes and crying and making a fuss.
It was almost time for the banquet to start, and most of the guests had arrived. But then Little Fatty caused a commotion, instantly attracting the attention of many people.
It's just that because Grandpa didn't like noisy places, Gu Mian and Mom deliberately found a relatively secluded corner, so they didn't become the focus of everyone's attention. The people nearby only glanced over briefly, seeing that it was just relatives chatting, and didn't pay too much attention to this side.
Xiao Pangzi's mother saw that Gu Mian disagreed, and listened to her son making a fuss nonstop, feeling that her own head was getting bigger. At the same time, she also felt a little dissatisfied in her heart, thinking that her cousin-in-law's relatives were not very good. She had offered to pay for it herself, but the other party still disagreed.
But they are just some worthless trinkets, is it necessary to be so stubborn?
Xiao Pangzi's mother didn't realize that the two small things in Er Shu's mouth were not just small things. She now only wants her son to stop crying, she has worked hard to let Grandpa see today's wedding banquet, and can't be ruined by such a small thing.
"I'm telling you, Gu Mian, it's not Second Auntie saying this to you. Even if you're just coaxing a little kid, can't you just agree first? The guests have already arrived, don't let him cry like this anymore." Seeing that Little Pangzi's mom was getting impatient, Erniang turned her eyes and spoke to Gu Mian.
"Second Aunt, this thing can be eaten casually, but words can't be spoken casually. If I agree with him now and then regret it later, if others find out, they'll think I'm bullying a child." Gu Mian thought that Second Aunt was indeed worthy of her title. She's truly the representative figure of the number two.
What's all the commotion about? This little fatty has been making a big fuss for half the day, and she finally remembered that today is her brother's wedding banquet. And there are still many guests around?
In the end, it's not her who loses face, so why should she agree to things she doesn't want to?
After what happened at the small restaurant last time, Second Aunt still doesn't seem to have learned her lesson and thinks they're a family that can be bullied?
She dares to be a bad person once, she dares to be a bad person a hundred times. Barefooted people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. Second Aunt doesn't care about her own and Peng Jun's face anymore, why should she help others worry in vain?
"It's not like it's worth anything...” Second Aunt gave Gu Mian a white eye, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
Xiao Pangzi's mother was not patient enough to listen to Er Yi saying sour words, she only had one purpose, which was to coax her son to sleep, and stop torturing her nerves.
"Gu Mian, how much did you buy that thing for? I'll give you double the price. My kid is so stubborn, if he doesn't get what he wants, he won't stop throwing a tantrum for three days and three nights." The little fatty's mom said helplessly to Gu Mian.
Double?
Gu Mei slightly raised an eyebrow, she is currently in a state of being slightly short of money. She intends to buy a garden house with a good environment and location, which is not cheap. With the money in her hands, after buying a house and decorating it, there will be almost nothing left.
She had planned to sell the jade sheep all along, but hadn't had a chance to take action yet, and was thinking of taking advantage of this trip with Mr. Qiao to find some good treasures to bring back.
However... if there's a big spender willing to come to her doorstep, she wouldn't mind. It's just that looking at Little Fatty's mom's attitude, it's likely she never thought about the fact that the little lions and sheep in her son's mouth are all valuable antiques, or else she wouldn't have such a big appetite.
She's trying to get in good with the whole Xiao Pangzi family, so she'll give Erniang a chance. As for what happens next... heh heh, that's not her problem anymore.
"That little lion I'm afraid is not possible, but if you want that little sheep it's not impossible, only... it's not cheap, it's a authentication fee from one of my clients." Gu Mei smiled at Xiaopang's mom.
"Appraisal fee?" Little fatty's mom was taken aback and turned her head towards Second Aunt.
"My niece is studying antique appraisal and she's a senior this year, just started her internship not long ago."
Xiao Pangzi's mother heard that Gu Ming had only been interning for a short time and hadn't graduated yet, so she put her slightly raised heart back down. Plus, Gu Ming said it was an appraisal fee given by her client, so it probably wouldn't be too expensive.
An external appraisal of an ordinary item would only cost a few hundred yuan, as long as it can comfort her son. Spending a few thousand is no big deal for them, after all, they are not a family that can't afford it.
Besides, she heard from Qiu Yan about the situation at Er Shu's house, and it seems that they are not a wealthy family either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had trouble getting money out when something happened, and finally had to come to her for help. It's likely that the expensive things in Gu Mei's mouth didn't go anywhere.
"Money is secondary, the main thing is that this little ancestor of mine is too noisy. Whatever amount you say, I'll double it." Although Gu Mei said she could only let one thing out, but at least she relaxed a bit, and Xiao Pangzi's mother also relaxed a lot.
"4……" Gu Mei looked at the increasingly impatient Xiao Pang's mom and Er Niang, who was helping to coax Xiao Pang, and couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of her mouth.
"What's all the commotion?" Before Gu Ming could finish speaking, a man who looked to be in his forties walked over. Seeing the little fatty crying nonstop, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Husband, you're back. Has your father arrived?" Little Pangzi's mother asked hastily, not even having time to coax Little Pangzi.
"Dad will be here soon, hurry up and comfort the child, what's all this commotion about?" The man said with some displeasure, but only towards Xiaopang's mom. He just gave Xiaopang a slightly stern glance.
The little fatty saw his father coming and his crying gradually subsided. However, he still didn't completely stop.
"It'll be fine, my son wants a new toy, I'll just buy it for him." Xiaopang's mom nodded repeatedly, didn't say another word, took out a wallet from her bag, counted roughly and handed over 10 red 100-yuan bills to Gu Xiang: "400 yuan is right? Twice that is 800 yuan, the extra 200 yuan will be your taxi fare. Trouble you to go get that Little Sheep thing now, so my little ancestor won't keep making a fuss."
"Oh dear. Don't cry, look, your mom bought you a little sheep." Second Aunt said with a smile to Little Fatty.
The little fatty really didn't cry this time, instead he clapped his hands happily.
"What's wrong? Not enough?" Little fatty's mom held out the money for a while, but didn't see Gu Mian come to take it. She couldn't help but look at Gu Mian in surprise.
She has already generously given the taxi fare. Just for the taxi ride alone, it would not have exceeded 100 yuan. What is Gu Miao still dissatisfied with?
"Of course not enough, I didn't say 400 yuan, if it was really a 400-yuan thing, I would have given it to you already, why bother with all this fuss." Gu Mei smiled slightly and continued: "My second aunt doesn't understand the market, thinking that the jade sheep is a cheap imitation product of little value. But that thing is actually an authentic Han Dynasty antique, outside it's worth at least 4 million or so, considering we're relatives I won't ask for more, just make it a round number 4 million, plus the double you mentioned, giving me 8 million will do."
"Then something small costs 800,000, are you robbing me?!" Second Aunt shouted.
Gu Mei gave Er Shu a hopeless glance, turned her head to look at Xiao Pangzi's mother: "The best Han Dynasty jade sheep, well-preserved and very beautiful, connoisseurs can see that it is a good thing. Originally I didn't want to sell it, but since you all want it so much and are willing to pay double the price, I'll let you have it."
"A toy worth 800,000?" The man's face immediately fell.
Xiao Pangzi's mother was also stunned, holding a thousand yuan in her hand, neither extending it nor withdrawing it.
Second Aunt widened her eyes, refusing to believe that Gu Mei's hands would hold a 400,000 yuan antique. Second Uncle was even more astonished, trying hard to recall the jade sheep he saw at Gu Mei's house that day, thinking it just looked pretty and assuming it was just a small decorative piece placed in the house for its appearance...
"You're not saying that the client gave you an appraisal fee, and someone can give you a 4 million yuan antique as an appraisal fee? Unless that person is an idiot! " Erniang immediately jumped up, as if she was the one who wanted to spend 800,000 yuan to buy the jade sheep.
"I didn't know, I just went out for a few days and came back as an idiot." As soon as Erniu finished speaking, Yu Xiao walked over from the side, accompanied by an elderly man with white temples but full of energy.
