Chapter 15 Receiving the Goods
"Doctor Qin, my hand is burned. Can you please take a look and see if it's okay?"

There's a new patient in the infirmary.

Li Yingtang took shelter under the eaves and continued knitting the scarf.

The sun shines on the body, and people who are tanned feel lazy.

She was tired of sitting, so she stood up and stretched. Seeing Aunt Liu and her daughters-in-law passing by, she casually asked, "Where are you going?"

Aunt Liu: "Today, Dashun and Yulan are having a wedding banquet in the village. Xiaoqin will definitely be invited. Will you come with us?"

Li Yingtang put down the work in his hands and went into the infirmary to ask questions.

Without waiting to open your mouth.

Qin Xian took out two one-yuan bills and said, "I heard you. This is a gift. You go first. I'll go when I'm free. Don't eat too many cold dishes."

"I know." Li Yingtang grabbed the money and went to the groom's house with Aunt Liu and the others.

In just five minutes, he got to know the most explosive gossip in the village.

There was a father-in-law who drove his daughter out in order to marry a son-in-law.

A brother-in-law and sister-in-law are having an affair.

There is also the daughter-in-law, niece and good friend of the pork seller.
When they arrived, everyone turned the topic to the groom who was greeting guests outside the door.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with regular features and a medium build. She was wearing ordinary clothes and had a fake flower made of red cloth pinned to her chest.

"Dashun looks so handsome today. When are you going to pick up the bride?"

"I'll leave now."

After exchanging a few words at the door, everyone went into the house.

The interior is simple, with adobe walls and old wooden windows.

A girl in red was sitting beside the wooden bed, she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, pretty, with a fake flower pinned to her chest as well. She lowered her head and wiped away tears from time to time.

Li Yingtang thought: Is this the bride? Didn't she not come?

"Yulan, why are you crying? The couple is so well off and the betrothal gift is so generous. You can enjoy a happy life if you marry them."

"They are both young, and they can not only help you make money, but also take care of your children."

"Don't try to persuade her. This stupid girl is so stupid that she doesn't know how to appreciate the good fortune she has!" Yulan's mother pinched her waist and cursed, "When the groom comes, if you dare to do anything to me, I will ask your father to beat you to death!"

Li Yingtang understood.

Change of marriage!

It was shown on TV.

In order to save money, the parents of both sides married their daughters to each other's sons.

How could there be such selfish parents and brothers?

Can you have a clear conscience when you profit from stepping on your daughter and sister?
Magnolia said nothing and shed tears silently.

Li Yingtang felt very sympathetic, but there was nothing she could do but hand over her handkerchief.

Yulan's mother seemed to have found a savior: "Dr. Qin's family, you are a city girl, you have a lot of experience, you can persuade this dead girl."

"How can I persuade him? It's not customary in my family to exchange a daughter for a daughter-in-law." Li Yingtang revealed the secret.

Yulan's mother's face turned red and white. She wanted to scold Li Yingtang but didn't dare to offend Qin Xian, so she shut up in dismay.

Li Yingtang wanted to comfort the girl, but Aunt Liu called her, "Xiao Qin's family, come here quickly."

She thought it was an urgent matter, but when she got there she realized it was a reserved seat.

After we sat down, the food was served.

There were eight cold dishes in total. It looked like a lot, but they were all vegetarian.

Salad of coriander, salad of spinach, salad of kelp, salad of tofu
There are ten bowls of meat dishes, and most of them are also vegetarian dishes.

Even Li Yingtang couldn't grab the food. After failing several times, she simply put down her chopsticks.

Aunt Liu grabbed a piece of vegetarian chicken for her: "It's from Xiao Qin's, you can eat it."

"I'm not hungry."

"Then I'll eat it." Aunt Liu picked up the vegetarian chicken again.

Li Yingtang: “.”

Health station.

Qin Xian sent away the last patient, rolled up his sleeves and checked the time. It was time for dinner, so he closed the door and went to look for Li Yingtang.

The key was just pulled out. A man's cheerful voice came from behind.

"Qin Xian, where are you going?"

Qin Xian turned his head, his lips slightly raised: "It's you, what's the matter?"

The man's surname was Xi, and his given name was Yue. He worked in the Xicheng District Criminal Investigation Team. He had been a deskmate with Qin Xian in high school, and they kept in touch after they went to college. "No one comes to visit you for no reason. The team has received a big case, and we are short of autopsies. Please help me."

Qin Xian said tactfully: "I'm busy here too. There are so many talented people in your city, you don't need me."

"I don't trust anyone else. You will be released in two days. Look, the application has been prepared for you." Xi Yue raised the stamped application letter in his hand.

Qin Xian's eyes flickered over the seal: "I also want to ask you for help with something."

"As long as it is within my ability, I will go through fire and water." Xi Yue suddenly fell silent and pointed at the white nightgown drying under the eaves: "Are you married?"

Qin Xian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yeah."

"Where is the person? What does he look like?" Xi Yue looked around.

"There's a banquet going on in the village ahead, do you want to see it?"

Qin Xian was so straightforward that Xi Yue felt embarrassed. "You are crazy. What are you looking at your wife for? Business is more important."

After the banquet, Li Yingtang went home.

The door is locked.

What about people?

The window of the room was open. I pulled aside the curtain and found a key, then opened the door and walked in.

There was a note on the table.

"I have to go out for something. I may stay outside for two or three days. Please take care of yourself."

Li Yingtang: "." Gone? Who will cook for her these two days? If he leaves, she will leave too!

At that moment, I collected the clothes that were drying in the yard, took two sets of clothes to change into, locked the door and closed the windows, and left.

After noon, I walked to the village, took a minibus to the city, stayed in the same guesthouse as last time, and appeared at the flea market the next day.

After walking around and picking, I found that the prices of the items I liked were all high and I couldn't lower the price, so I decided to go somewhere else and look for other business opportunities.

When she was leaving the door, she was stopped by a skinny old man. He looked around, pulled her aside and whispered, "Girl, do you want to see my goods? They are cheap and good."

Li Yingtang: "I only look at jade."

"It's Jade. I noticed you as soon as you came in."

Li Yingtang said vigilantly: "Why are you paying attention to me? I'm not a sucker."

"I know. Take a look at my stuff first." The uncle hurriedly took out a wooden box from his arms, opened it gently, and revealed a yellow and white jade Pixiu inside.

Li Yingtang stretched out her hand, but retracted it when it was close to the wooden box. As the old saying goes, jade never leaves your hands, and gold never leaves your eyes. If the other party lets go when she takes it, won’t she be miserable? "Put it on the ground first, baby, pick it up and put it down."

"Yeah." The uncle did as he was told.

Li Yingtang then dared to take it, touched it and took photos, confirming that it was genuine, and a perfect genuine product. He immediately asked the price: "How much do you want?"

"thirty."

Li Yingtang: "Cheaper."

"It's the lowest price. If I didn't need the money urgently, I would definitely not sell it."

When Li Yingtang heard this, he decided to lower the price by one third: "Twenty yuan, if you are willing, I will buy it."

This guy's stuff must be from a dishonest source, otherwise why doesn't he go to a legitimate shop?

The receiver saw through the trick and took the opportunity to lower the price.

He was reluctant to sell her at a low price, so he picked her because he thought she was the easiest to control.

The uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty is twenty."

Li Yingtang paid for the goods, and this time he chose an inconspicuous antique shop to buy them.

She got the name of this shop from the craftsman when she was polishing the smoky purple pendant.

Specializes in collecting treasures whose origins are unclear.

"Boss, please come and see how much this treasure in my hand is worth."

 Such a deserted backstage, is there anyone? Leave a footprint, woo woo woo...
