A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 67 Want to pick up leaks

When Chen Xueru saw that she was pregnant, Cao Zhihua was so happy that she wanted to give birth, and she was in a great mood.

Before Cao Zhihua came, Chen Xueru was very worried that Cao Zhihua would not have the child. After all, Cao Zhihua was too young. Even if he did not dislike his age, he could not get a marriage certificate.

But now Chen Xueru loves Cao Zhihua to the core. She cannot live without Cao Zhihua in life, so she has always planned to give Cao Zhihua a son to make the relationship between the two people stronger.

Now I heard Cao Zhihua say that he was born, and he breathed a sigh of relief.So he tried again and asked:

"As a divorced woman, I give birth to a child. Doesn't this let everyone know that I broke my shoes outside?"

Cao Zhihua didn't think too much. He immediately thought of doctrine and said:
"Sister Xueru, this matter is easy to deal with. From now on, we will tell the public that you are two months pregnant after being checked by the hospital. You didn't know it when you were just pregnant. Your ex-husband just divorced you. Now your ex-husband has gone to the beautiful country. What's in your belly?" This one was just tested, and now the baby has been tested and I plan to give birth.”

When Chen Xueru heard this, she felt that this method was good. After all, it was her and Cao Zhihua's child, so she couldn't get away with it.So he agreed:
"This method is indeed feasible, so I will follow this method."

"Well, Sister Xueru, at my current age, I can't appear in public. From now on, the child will have your surname."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Cao Zhihua

"I would rather the child have your last name, but is it possible?"

Cao Zhihua smiled sillyly,
"Sister Xueru, you know that's not what I meant. What will happen to your job in the future?"

Chen Xueru said indifferently:
"Keep working. My work doesn't affect my health."

Cao Zhihua said uneasily:

"It doesn't affect the body, but there are a lot of things to do. What if I have a miscarriage?"

"Hey, how can you be so fragile? Pregnant women in rural areas still have to work in the fields when they are several months old. This thing about me will not affect my health."

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Zhihua still felt it was unreliable, so he suggested:
"How about you hand over these business matters to the public manager and just take care of the incoming and outgoing accounts to make yourself more relaxed? In this way, it won't be a big problem if you are in the store or not. Anyway, the silk store is not your home now. It’s a private property, so as long as the business is not affected, you will still get dividends, so things aren’t that big.”

Chen Xueru listened to Cao Zhihua's idea and didn't speak for a long time, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Cao Zhihua understands Chen Xueru's temperament. He is a person who is strong in doing things and has a restless temper. He also has a strong desire for power and is used to telling others what to do.Therefore, it is more difficult for her to release her rights and take time off to raise the baby with peace of mind.

But Cao Zhihua couldn't persuade him much. If nothing happened, Chen Xueru might be unhappy every day and it would also affect his health. So after Cao Zhihua made a suggestion, he let Chen Xueru make his own choice.

Chen Xueru leaned on Cao Zhihua and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. She patted Cao Zhihua's thigh angrily.
"Oh, I'm so annoyed. Let's forget about it for now and go take a shower."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she stood up and took Cao Zhihua directly to the bathroom.

It turned out that Chen Xueru had known that Cao Zhihua would come in the evening and started boiling water early in the morning.

Although taking a cold shower today is very comfortable.

But Cao Zhihua still liked to take a hot bath. After lying in the tub and letting Chen Xueru take good care of him, they went to bed together after Chen Xueru finished brushing his teeth.

Cao Zhihua lay on the bed and hugged Chen Xueru to sleep, sighing, he had no meat for a while.

Fortunately, Chen Xueru has been taught the lesson now. She can still keep up with oral and verbal services, and can also solve some of her body problems.

Another day passed in a flash. Cao Zhihua hurried home for dinner after work. After the meal, he rushed to the tavern to meet Niu Ye.When they arrived at the tavern, Niu Ye had already drank. When he saw Cao Zhihua arriving, he finished the wine and took Cao Zhihua away.

The gathering place was not far from Zhengyangmen, less than 2 kilometers away. Cao Zhihua took Master Niu on his bicycle and soon arrived at a three-entry courtyard in Lishi Hutong next door.

The person in charge is also well-known in this circle. When Mr. Niu came in, he introduced this person as Gil Tai. Among the old and young people in Sijiu City, his ancestors are descendants of one of the few royal relatives in Sijiu City.

Therefore, he is relatively big in this circle, and everyone is convinced, so he usually takes the lead in such gatherings.

It was said to be a party. When Cao Zhihua entered the courtyard, he saw many people inside loosely setting up stalls on the flat ground of the courtyard. There were all kinds of antiques on the stalls.

Antique walnuts, jade finger rings, purple clay pots, gourds, and Buddhist bead necklaces are the most popular and can be found in almost every stall.

There are also many other items such as calligraphy and painting, ceramics, and bronzes.

Cao Zhihua was dazzled by what he saw. Unfortunately, Cao Zhihua didn't understand this either and was not very good at starting.

I followed Mr. Niu around and came to a stall. There was a father and son dressed as farmers. The father looked to be in his 30s. There were not many things on the stall, just two items, one picture, and one rag.

Mr. Niu must have received the news and was looking for the stall owner after he came in.

He stopped at the stall and said to the stall owner:
"Sir, can you unfold this painting so that we can appreciate it?"

The boss looked at Niu Ye and Cao Zhihua. They were both well dressed. Their clothes looked like high-end guys. After hesitating,

"Okay, sir, you don't look like a troublemaker. I'll unfold it and you can take a look."

After the stall owner unfolded it, Mr. Niu knelt down and looked at it carefully from beginning to end for a long time, and asked
"Boss, how do you plan to give this painting away?"

The stall owner thought for a while and said to Mr. Niu:
"Sir, my ancestor was Puyi's bodyguard. When Puyi fled abroad on a plane, my ancestor took great risks to snatch these two items back from the panic, so I packed them together for 5000 yuan. One share of money cannot be less.”

After hearing the price, Mr. Niu's face darkened and he continued to say to the stall owner:
"How much can you sell this rag for? This tie-in is worthless."

The stall owner quits:
"Hey, sir, this is not some rag. Let me open it and take a look. Do you see the seal of Lord Qianlong? There are also the seals of many people on it. Unfortunately, I haven't read any books, so people are not perfect."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Niu quickly squatted down and looked carefully.

Cao Zhihua followed and looked, and now he could see that the two antiques owned by the stall owner might be really good treasures. Seeing Master Niu like this, he was very moved.

I just don’t know if Mr. Niu is willing to accept it. If not, see if I have a chance.

After reading it carefully, Mr. Niu said to the stall owner:
"Sir, these two things of yours are good things, but the price is too expensive. Please give me some concessions."

The stall owner quits

"Man, this is a precious old item that my ancestors brought from the emperor. The price is not expensive at all."

Mr. Niu rolled his eyes:
"Man, you don't know how much 5000 yuan is, do you? Take your thing to a trust store and see how much they can give you?"

When the stall owner heard what Mr. Niu said, he became impatient and waved his hand:
"Sir, please don't miss something from me. I know the value of my item. I would rather not sell it than sell it cheaply."
