A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 98 Rosewood Furniture for the Whole House

Lin Kucan was also smiling, looking harmless:
"This is a new society now. These pieces of furniture that represent decadent capitalism are ultimately just a pile of waste. We can just buy them and use their residual heat. Otherwise, they will only be used to burn firewood in a few years."

A worker who was carrying furniture nearby laughed:

"What's so good about this broken furniture? Take this bed for example. It looks beautiful, but who knows how many people have died on it? It's so unlucky to sleep on it. I don't want it even if it's free. I'm telling you, you might as well make a new bed."

Lin Sanqi's face darkened when he heard this. This was the bed he was going to sleep on. People in Huadu were superstitious and were averse to such things.

Lin Kucan didn't care:

"Young people have a lot of temper, but I can calm them down. Besides, it's expensive to hire someone to make a bed, both in terms of labor and wood. This money is more than enough to buy a second-hand bed."

The salesperson has also calculated at this time:

"Old comrade, these pieces of furniture are all good items, so they are more expensive. The total cost is 310 yuan."

Upon hearing this, several staff members shook their heads slightly, with expressions of disdain on their faces.

310 yuan is their annual salary. They can't understand why they spend a year's salary on a bunch of old furniture. Isn't this stupid?
Lin Sanqi took in the expressions of these staff members, then looked at the admiring expression on the face of the male salesperson, and thought that this was the difference in cognition.

Many people criticized Ma Moduo for making money in an unscrupulous way. The antiques he bought for a few dollars appreciated in value to hundreds of millions after a few decades, which was extremely immoral.

Now the opportunity is in front of these staff members. Are they willing to spend a few dollars to buy a broken table and a broken bottle?

Therefore, the gap in cognition makes these staff members deserve to be poor.

But if it was this male salesperson, with this vision and some financial resources, he would definitely have bought up a large number of old furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties in the early days of reform and opening up.

This kind of person is like Ma Modu, who has the opportunity to become one of the richest people of an era. Even if he is not a wealthy person, it will be a piece of cake for him to own a few houses in the capital in the future.

Lin Kucan paid the money readily and gave an extra 2 yuan for travel expenses, asking the trust store to deliver the goods to his door.

When all the furniture was delivered to the princess's house, the neighbors in the yard all came out to watch the fun.

Hou Daya, the young bird monkey, was the first to run out. When she saw the staff lifting the furniture, her face turned red and she said with contempt:

"Hey, what is this? It's just a table and a few cabinets. Is it necessary to make such a fuss? You are such a useless man!"

The staff member was so angry that he almost vomited blood and couldn't help but retort:
"Hey, lady, you are really not afraid of back pain when standing. This piece of furniture is really heavy, much heavier than ordinary furniture."

The monkey still disdains:
"Bullshit, you're talking like no one has cabinets or tables. When I'm cleaning, I can just lift them with one hand. Are you four grown men suffering from kidney deficiency? Hahaha~~"

The people around them also chuckled, and laughed at the trust store staff.

Matchmaker Wang came from the old society after all. She had visited many wealthy people's homes in those days and had some experience:

"I think this furniture is not ordinary. The carvings of dragons and phoenixes look beautiful. It's a pity that it's second-hand."

The monkey pouted disdainfully:
"Dr. Lin is really ruthless. He let his eldest and second sons stay in the main room with all new furniture, but he threw the youngest son's house in the back garden. The house is so shabby that it looks like it could be blown down by a strong wind.

The furniture he bought was all second-hand. The key point is that this kid Lin hasn't married yet. He is using old furniture now. I guess he won't get new ones after he gets married. Tell me, how can there be such a big difference between them when they have the same parents? "

Hearing Ji Niaohou's sarcastic remarks, many neighbors started to discuss:
"That's right. Second-hand furniture is used by others. Who knows how much bad luck it has..." "Of course it's bad luck. All the rich families back then were ruined after liberation. If they were still alive, they wouldn't sell this furniture..."

"If it were me, I finally found my youngest son, so I should at least make some new furniture. The Lin family is not short of money..."

"I guess the money will be left to the eldest and second sons. What a bias..."

"Hey, keep your voice down, the Lin family is coming..."

Lin Sanqi and Lin Kucan were carrying an armchair and walking happily across the yard towards the back garden.

Lin Sanqi was in a good mood and did not forget to say hello: "Hey, you are all taking a break? Why don't you come and help?"

The monkey rolled his eyes and said in a pitiful tone:

"Hey, kid, your parents are so rich, why do they buy you old things? If it were me, I would throw it away right now and not put up with this bullshit!"

Ma Dazhuang, the master of the trick, also added fuel to the fire and said:

"All three sons must be treated fairly. Your elder brother and second brother live in the main house, while you live in the back garden. Aren't you afraid that a female ghost will come to take your life in the middle of the night? In my opinion, let the old man and the old lady live in the shabby house in the back garden, and you should live in the main house like your two brothers!"

Lin Kucan smiled indifferently when he heard his neighbor stirring up trouble. Just as Jin Caifeng was about to lose her temper, she heard her youngest son speak:

"You guys don't understand, right? The main house has its own advantages, and the back garden has its own charm. Although it's a little remote, a little deserted, a little overgrown with weeds, a little full of insects and rats, and the house is a little shabby, it's quiet and peaceful. How free is it for young people to live there?"

When matchmaker Wang heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore and thought to herself that this kid from the Lin family was really an idiot:

"You know the back garden is bad, right? Why do you still live there? Aren't you afraid of being bitten to death by mosquitoes in this hot summer?"

Lin Sanqi carried the armchair and walked to the back:

"Filial piety comes first among all virtues. Brothers should be respectful to their younger brothers and humble to their younger brothers. This is the conscience of scholars like me. How can we let our parents live in a shabby house while we live in a big house? Goodbye, everyone!"

After Lin Sanqi left, Ma Dazhuang finally reacted:
"Ah, this kid is scolding us for being heartless, unfilial to our parents, and ununited with our brothers?"

The seasonal monkey spat on the ground:

"Bah, intellectuals are bad people. The more knowledgeable they are, the more reactionary they are. They have to beat around the bush when they insult people. They are so sour."

"That's right, you are just a bitch. You don't know how to appreciate a good person. Just wait to be bullied by your brothers in the future!"

Looking at the room full of furniture, Jin Caifeng nodded with satisfaction:

"This is what a home looks like. I'm sorry, Zaizi. When we have the conditions in the future, your dad and I will buy me a new house and new furniture."

Lin Sanqi burst into laughter:
"Mom, you don't understand. The furniture that dad picked out can all be heirlooms. They're all made of rosewood. Who else can be as generous as me? I'm so happy."

Lin Kucan said with a smile while wiping the furniture:
"As for vision, my youngest son has the best vision. The eldest and the second son, haha, can't catch up..."
