Chapter 119 There's a thief! Everyone, come and catch the thief!
Fang Yaqin's mouth twitched and she said, "No... no need, my colleague doesn't need it."
The old lady looked at her and said:
"Yaqin, you grew up with us! Zheng Wei is also quite good-looking!
I think you're a pretty good colleague. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family! What do you think?
"You know what, Zheng Wei is quite handsome, and he's more than a perfect match for this little girl!"
"Isn't it? Your family is rich now, so you can find any daughter-in-law you want!
Little girl, why don’t you go to their house and take a look?”
The old lady circled around Lin Panpan twice and said:
"Come on, little girl, come to my house and take a look. If it's suitable, we'll ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
Let me tell you, our family can give your family a 200 yuan betrothal gift."
The other aunties' eyes lit up: "How much is the betrothal gift? 200 yuan! Isn't that too much?"
"That's right! Who can afford 200 yuan as a betrothal gift?"
"Isn't it? Little girl, you are so lucky!"
Lin Panpan looked at the group of old women with a half-smile and said:
"Am I lucky? I don't want such good luck. I'd rather leave this kind of good luck to your daughter!
If you think it's appropriate, you can come to our house yourself!"
The old lady's face changed:
"Oh, you still disdain to come to our house. I see your clothes, you look like a country bumpkin. What's so great about you?
If you weren't a teacher, I wouldn't even look down on you!"
It turned out that this person thought she was a teacher. Fang Yaqin blushed and said, "Auntie, you can't say that. Zheng Wei has been paralyzed in bed for several years. Aren't you harming him?"
The old lady was so angry that she cursed:
"Fang Yaqin, what are you thinking? Zheng Wei grew up with you. If his leg wasn't injured, you two might still be together.
You two are childhood sweethearts. Now that you're married, does that mean my Zheng Wei should just lie in bed for the rest of his life? "
Fang Yaqin stamped her feet in anger:
"He and I are just classmates, we have no relationship at all.
When I was in school, I didn't even talk to him, so don't slander me."
"Then stay out of my family's business." It was obvious that the old lady was not someone to be trifled with.
Lin Panpan sneered and said:
"Oh... so you want to push me into trouble? Then I'd like to help promote your company. You know this is a scam, right?
You guys are trying to trick me into coming home and then make it a fait accompli, right?
I'll call the police and have you all arrested! You're committing marriage fraud! You're going to go to jail."
"Mom... cough cough cough..." Zheng Wei's voice rang out:
"Mom... stop talking nonsense outside and ruining the girl's reputation. Ahem...
"Little girl, I'm sorry! My mom just has a quick temper. She's wrong in this matter."
Fang Yaqin then brought Lin Panpan back home. When she got home, she was so angry that her face turned red:
"These gossipy women don't need to go to work every day, but they gossip about their families all the time.
Some aunties are disgusting. They would squat at other people’s doorsteps late at night and listen to what’s going on inside.”
Lin Panpan made a "hush" gesture, then opened the door and saw several aunts rolling in from outside.
Lin Panpan grabbed the stick nearby and hit him hard: "There's a thief! Everyone, hurry up and catch the thief... Oh my god, he actually came into someone's house in broad daylight. This is terrifying."
Lin Panpan hit them more than 20 times. All the aunts held their heads and the neighbors around also rushed over.
The aunties were beaten and screamed: "What are you doing? Are you crazy, little girl? Why are you hitting people?"
"Ah...it hurts me so much..."
Lin Panpan looked down at them and asked, "Where are you all from? Why are you stealing in broad daylight?"
"When did we become thieves? How can a little girl like you be so talkative?"
Lin Panpan looked at them and said, "If you're not thieves, why are you listening at someone else's door? You must be listening to what's going on inside someone else's house!"
"I...we're just passing by. Can't we listen to the noise and see if there's anyone inside?"
Lin Panpan looked at him with a half-smile and said:
"Aren't you listening to the noise inside? Aren't you trying to steal something? Do you have family members working in state-owned enterprises?
I guess I need to go to the factory and talk to the leadership. How could there be such disgusting family members like you?"
"You... stop talking nonsense, how can a girl like you have such a foul mouth?
Let's go! Don't bother with her."
"We are just passing by. We will not let you off so easily if you hit us. Just wait!" The aunties left angrily.
Lin Panpan closed the door after they left. Fang Yaqin looked at her and said, "You...how are you so powerful? You actually dared to hit them with a rolling pin."
"Humph! These people must be taught a lesson, and you shouldn't be influenced by them. These women may not live a happy life.
They need an outlet, and if you're too weak, they'll target you," Lin Panpan said.
Fang Yaqin sighed and said, "Because I grew up here, I know all these neighbors, and sometimes I can't hide my face."
"What's there to be ashamed of? You don't live with them, so don't take what they say to heart.
If one day you really get to the point of divorce, they will definitely say something even more unpleasant, so you have to be mentally prepared.
"Can you take me to see those antiques?" Lin Panpan said.
Fang Yaqin quickly brought her into a room and said:
"All of these are his antiques. He usually doesn't let me touch them, and I spent a lot of money on them.
Sometimes our entire salary goes into it.”
In the slightly messy room, Lin Panpan's eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of bottles, jars and ancient coins.
She examined them one by one and soon discovered that these bottles and jars were all fakes, and the signatures on them were full of flaws.
She had read some treasure appraisals and many books on the subject, and had acquired some ability to identify treasures.
Fang Yaqin explained:
"He had these coins collected from the countryside, and it's unclear whether any of them are genuine.
I figured he wasn't really that good at it, and it seemed like he started tinkering with these collections after listening to his cousin. I have no idea whether they're real or fake."
Lin Panpan didn't say anything, but just looked at the coins intently.
Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across her face. It turned out that there were more than a dozen genuine items hidden among a pile of fakes.
That guy must be a layman, otherwise how could he confuse real silver dollars with fake ones?
Then she found more than twenty genuine ones one after another.
