Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 27 Asking for help
At 12:45 noon, Shen You went downstairs in her pajamas with dark circles under her eyes. She got the takeaway, had lunch, and planned to go back to sleep.

She also felt that her work and rest schedule was not good for her health.

If you keep saying you want to change, you can only persist when there is business.

I just lay down and watched some videos when a voice message came in that sounded like a burning fire.

The rich guy in the club at the last class reunion was Gu Shaoyu.

"Save me, save me!"

Shen You: "??? Are you playing PUBG?"

"No, I drank too much last night and accidentally dropped the stuff my sister brought back from the British Empire last month. She's going to beat me to death!"

Gu Shaoyu's voice came out.

Then another picture was sent, which was a filigree golden hair crown.

And a broken phoenix hairpin inlaid with gems and pearls.

The cracks on the largest gem in the middle were made worse by the fall, and the pearls inlaid on the gold beads and the gold rings connecting them were broken.

Looking at his condition, it’s not unfair for his sister to beat him to death.

"She spent two years searching for a pair of phoenix hairpins that match this crown. She said she would wear them when she gets married. Can it be repaired?" Gu Shaoyu lowered his voice.

His family is in the gemstone and jade business, so people with good skills are not unfamiliar with him.

But this is an antique, and they said that if we want to restore it to its original state, it would be safer to find someone in this field.

The best antique restoration masters are all in museums. They can’t even restore all the national treasures, so how can they be hired?

"If you can fix it, you'll be my savior. Name your price!"

Shen You speaks the truth.

"Your thing is very complicated. If you want to fix it, you have to restore the craftsmanship first. I need to look up information and study it. Please give me some time. I will give you a price when I am sure it can be repaired."

The most difficult problem in restoring antiques is that modern materials are different from those in ancient times, and some craftsmanship has been lost.

If they are not repaired properly, antiques will become modern handicrafts.

"Okay, you have to hurry up! My sister will be back in the next two days." Gu Shaoyu sent a begging emoticon.

"I try my best."

Shen You asked him to take a few more detailed photos and send them over.

Gu Shaoyu carefully put the broken hairpin back into its original box, put it together again, and prayed with his hands together that he would not be discovered for the time being.

If it can't be repaired, he might as well buy a plane ticket overnight and hide abroad.

Shen You took a nap until around three o'clock and saw a message from his cousin's wife on his phone saying that they had already set off.

Her mother also sent a photo of something that her cousin-in-law had brought over.

There was a big bag full of dumplings made by her mother, which were frozen in advance and packed with ice packs and insulated foam boxes. They could be kept for seven or eight hours in this weather.

And the local handmade vegetable noodles she loves to eat at home.

Her parents said that eating too much takeout is not good, so they brought her some dumplings and noodles, which are easy to cook and healthier than the frozen wontons sold in the supermarket.

Shen You chatted with her mother about her recent situation. After another half an hour,

Thinking that he would have to go out soon, he couldn't concentrate on repairing the silver hairpin, so he lay in the rocking chair and played with his mobile phone for a while.

Wait until the time is almost up before changing clothes and going out.

It’s not far to drive there. It only takes about 40 minutes when there is no traffic jam.

Shen You parked the car and went to the private room to order the dishes, all of which were her favorites. She also asked for a bowl of freshly squeezed corn juice.

Not long after, I received a call from my cousin's wife, saying that they had arrived. Shen You told me the floor and the box number. Seven or eight minutes later, they came in. My aunt smiled and greeted them, taking a look at the decoration of the box.

It's average, the place is okay.

Shen You politely called people, pretending not to notice the arrogant tone of his uncle and cousin with their chins raised.

Among her relatives, her family has little presence.

The eldest uncle had a son, and the second uncle's family moved to a big coastal city in his early years and rarely returned to the county town.

Except for her aunt's family, the rest of her mother's relatives are similar. They don't look down on her family from the bottom of their hearts.

During the New Year and other holidays, any errands or grocery shopping that was needed was naturally asked to be done by her parents.

Seeing that her parents are easy to talk to and won't refuse people, sometimes, when I don't want to go to my aunt's house to buy something,

Although her family had a small car, she asked her parents, who only had a Lamborghini, to help her buy another one.

The county town is so small, and all the relatives live nearby. My parents have been living under the PUA of the older generation's ideas since they were young. They always think that we are all family, and it is not good to be too distant.

Just as I was thinking about it, the waiter came in and served the food.

"Xiaoyou, how is the decoration of your shop going?" my cousin's wife asked with concern.
"Your mother is always worried that you, a girl, might get hurt outside, so she asked us to come and see you."

Shen You believed this, but whether they were looking at her as a person or something else, only they themselves knew it.

"I'm fine. I just finished painting the walls of the shop." Shen You served himself a bowl of chicken soup.

My cousin's wife said in a friendly manner, "The things your parents brought are still in the trunk of the car. We will take you home after dinner."

Shen You smiled and said, "Don't bother, I drove over and I can move it over myself in a while."

Hearing this, the four of them looked up at Shen You.

The first one to react was my aunt. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes and she asked hurriedly,
"You've bought a car? Your store is doing well, right?"

Speaking of cars, my cousin also became interested. "What car is it?"

"A tram worth tens of thousands of yuan." Shen You peeled two more shrimps for herself. "There's a promotion where you can pay a few thousand yuan for a down payment, and there's no interest for a year."

My cousin's wife nodded and said, "That's good. It's convenient to travel by tram. Mainly because your parents are worried, we decided to go and have a look."

The conversation went around in a circle and returned to the starting point.

Shen You pretended not to understand and ate heartlessly, "I talked to my parents via video this afternoon."

Seeing that she was not listening, the smile on my cousin's wife's face began to fade.

The uncle put on airs, slammed his chopsticks down on the bowl, and snorted.
"We are elders who care about you and have taken such a long drive to get here. Do you mean to not let us in? That's outrageous!"

The attack on her seniority came late, but it came late. She endured it before she graduated from school and didn't make her own money, but it's different now.

"You're exaggerating." Shen You put on a playful smile, leaving his uncle speechless.

"It's really inconvenient. It's far from here, and there's no place to live."

Shen You refused to talk about this matter. After his cousin's wife said a few words to smooth things over, she changed the subject and talked about the house they had seen on the APP.

Shen You listed all the suitable items and mentioned that they were necessary for her child's schooling, but the price was a bit expensive.

Shen You also knew that her cousin's wife wanted to test her opinion, so she just nodded and didn't respond.

There was no wine on the table and the group ate very quickly. Finally, my cousin's wife couldn't pretend anymore.

"Xiaoyou, your shop is doing very well and we are only asking you for this because of our limited financial resources."

"You are not married yet, so you don't have much money to spend. How about you lend the money to me and your cousin so that your nephew can come to Jiangcheng to study?"

　I want to adjust my schedule today, so I will post the next chapter tomorrow~
