m herself. If she did it on her own, there would be many complications. But if this person were to handle it, things would become much easier."Alright, you wait here, I’ll be right over!" In the end,...Chapter 620 Precious Bowl
"I don't even know you. Why should I help you" Summer said irritably. Although he was bored, he wasn't so bored as to help a stranger. He certainly wasn't that kind.
The middle-aged man clearly hadn't expected this answer. Usually, when someone asked for help, they would at least ask what the matter was; however, Summer had rejected him without even asking. The man couldn't help but be taken aback by this.
But the middle-aged man quickly recovered and obviously didn’t want to give up so easily. He looked pitifully at Summer and continued: "Sir, please help me! My daughter has a sudden illness and is being treated in the hospital, but I don't have money for her medical expenses. The hospital said that if I can't pay by this afternoon, they won’t treat her anymore, and she will die."
"Why should I care about your daughter's illness" Summer seemed a bit impatient. "It’s not like I made her sick."
"Sir, I know my daughter's illness has nothing to do with you, but could you buy this precious bowl from me" The middle-aged man held out a porcelain bowl to Summer. "This is our family heirloom. Originally, the ancestors stipulated that it must never be sold under any circumstances, but for my daughter’s sake, I really don’t care about these restrictions anymore. Could you please buy it I need money urgently."
"I'm not buying it." Summer refused outright and then pointed to a spot some distance away, "Hey, if you really want to sell the bowl, go over there. Look, that beggar could use a bowl."
Indeed, there was a beggar nearby who didn't have a bowl. Occasionally, someone generous would toss money to this beggar on the ground; thus, it was true in a way that he needed a bowl.
"Sir, do you not believe me" The middle-aged man seemed fixated on Summer and wouldn’t back down, "This is truly an invaluable treasure bowl. I even took it to a TV appraisal program where experts examined it; here's the certification document. These experts said it’s worth at least 250,000 yuan!"
"You're lying through your teeth! This worthless old bowl is worth 250,000 It wouldn't even fetch 25 bucks," Summer curled her lips in disdain.
“How can you speak like that” The middle-aged man’s face turned red with his neck veins bulging as he angrily shouted back, “Even if you don’t want to buy it, how dare you insult my family heirloom like this!”
"I'll talk however I damn well please; what's it got to do with you" Summer was getting annoyed. "Tell you what, leave me alone or else I’ll beat you up!"
"You, why are you being so unreasonable" The middle-aged man appeared unusually angry. "This is my family heirloom. If it weren't for the fact that I urgently needed money to treat my daughter's illness, how would I even consider selling it You didn’t want to buy it, fine, but why do you have to slander my family treasure as being worthless The experts from the Palace Museum said that this bowl is worth at least 250,000 yuan. If put up for auction, its price could be even higher!"
"Whoever says it's worth 250,000 yuan, you can sell it to them then. Why come to me" Xia Tian was very unhappy. "I told you not to bother me, go trick someone else if you want to. I don't have the patience for this!"
"You, how could you say that I'm lying" The middle-aged man appeared even more furious and began shouting at those around him, "Tell me, is there such a thing as being unreasonable My daughter's illness is life-threatening; I need money desperately to pay for her surgery. So, I’m willing to sell my family treasure. He refused to buy it fine, but why does he accuse me of lying and take advantage of me because I'm from the countryside"
The man’s shouting attracted a few people who started supporting him.
"Young man, you’re in the wrong here. His daughter is already suffering enough; how can you say such things to him"
"That's right, he's from the countryside and has had it tough too. You shouldn't bully him隨便欺負他。”
"Ah, city folks nowadays are becoming more and more unreasonable..."
"Come here, let me have a look..."
A few people started blaming Xia Tian, and one of them eventually took the middle-aged man's so-called treasure bowl to examine it carefully. He then looked surprised: "It’s a treasure! Truly a treasure..."
"I told you it was a treasure! Experts from the Palace Museum said it’s worth 250,000 yuan. Look, there’s an appraisal certificate here!" The middle-aged man appeared furious. "But he insisted I’m lying!"
"Brother, like this, will you sell it to me How about 300,000 yuan What do you think" This person was in his thirties and dressed very meticulously; at first glance, one could tell he was quite wealthy.
"Good, good, of course! Sir, you’re a kind man, a great benefactor. Thank you so much! You’ve saved my daughter’s life."
"However, brother, I came here today just to visit a friend and didn't bring any money. This way, you wait for me for about half an hour, I'll go get the money now, how's that" The well-dressed man said.
"Alright, no problem, if it's half an hour then let it be half an hour." The middle-aged man readily agreed.
"Then I’ll leave first, see you in a bit." The well-dressed man quickly hurried away and seemed rather urgent.
Seeing the deal was about to go through, the onlookers prepared to leave. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man held onto that bowl as if it were a treasure.
Suddenly, someone's phone rang, and then they saw the middle-aged man take out his phone to answer it. After just two sentences, he began to angrily shout: "What How can they do this Wasn't it supposed to be tonight Fine, fine, I’ll find a way, I'll figure something out, wait for me, I'll be back right away!"
After hanging up the phone, the middle-aged man looked anxious and started walking back and forth muttering: "How can they do this to me They're even rushing my daughter out of the hospital. I said I would pay by tonight, but they still don’t believe it. What should I do, what should I do"
"Can't you just wait for half an hour" someone next to him reminded.
"But that damn hospital won't wait! They say we already owe them a lot of money, and if we don’t pay up soon, they’ll kick us out. How can hospitals be like this Half an hour is too much to ask for. They think I’m stalling and that as a farmer, I wouldn’t have so much cash!" The middle-aged man looked both furious and helpless. Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the man standing nearby. "Brother, please help me! Buy this bowl from me for twenty million won, just twenty million won. You’ll make ten million won as soon as you resell it. I really need the money!"
"This... Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I truly have no money." The man who had been grabbed looked helpless and then turned to look at others around him. "Who has extra cash Help him out; you won't lose anything. You can do a good deed and earn some money too. Why wouldn’t you"
"I don’t have that much money either." Someone else chimed in.
"Me neither!" another person said.
Everyone declared they had no money, except for Xia Tian, who remained silent and watched the scene unfold as if he were watching a play.Then, how did they happen" Cold Bingbing couldn’t help but ask softly.Summer looked towards a place about dozens of meters away: "There used to be a small supermarket there. I still remember the morni...
