During dinner, Gu Yunyao told several children about the situation.

Lu Damin said angrily: "Mom, let Mr. Wu find a way to find out who allowed his daughter to steal the book."

Lu Xiaohua pouted angrily, "Mom, these mother and daughter are here to cause harm to people. By the way, they should ask Old Man Wu for money, money for clothes, food, and accommodation for his wife and daughter..."

Only Lu Dajun said nothing, his face gloomy and obviously unhappy.

Gu Yunyao said solemnly: "Damin Xiaohua, don't talk about the parents' shortcomings, are you right? You know that their mother and daughter are not good people, but you don't know how to keep those books properly? You two can't leave one of them here.

House, you still have the nerve to talk about it. Besides catching thieves and stealing stolen goods, have you caught them?"

Lu Damin and Lu Xiaohua suddenly became honest.

Gu Yunyao continued to hammer, "Old man Wu is about to leave the bullpen. He is a good man and understands the seriousness of the matter. Is it worth it for us to aggressively ask for three melons and two dates for a small amount of money, knowing that he has no money?"

Lu Xiaohua quickly thought of something and said: "Mom, do you mean keeping this favor is useful?"

Gu Yunyao praised happily and said: "My daughter is still smart."

Lu Damin touched his nose in embarrassment. His mother always hit herself like this. It seemed that he was really impulsive just now.

Gu Yunyao continued: "You must learn a lesson. When there are outsiders at home, you must put your books away to prevent others from taking advantage of them. Tomorrow I will go to the town and county to look for it. If it doesn't work, I will go to the province. You should take care of yourself at home. During the day, you must take care of yourself.

The door must be secured to prevent irrelevant people from entering. Whoever loses a book in the future will be held responsible."

Lu Dajun, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Mom, how about I write to my comrades and ask them to help find it?"

Gu Yunyao shook his head and said, "No need for now. Mom will go look for it first. Maybe you will be lucky enough to find it."

She quickly thought that if she was lucky enough to find books at the scrap collection depot, she might encounter some unexpected treasures.

The next day, she came to the town first, full of expectations, and went to Xinhua Bookstore first, but soon walked out disappointed.

When I arrived at the town's scrap collection station, I found it was clean and felt even more disappointed.

The old gatekeeper looked her up and down and said, "Daughter, what are you doing?"

Gu Yunyao took a look at her clean clothes and found that they were indeed not suitable for the occasion.

She explained with a dry smile, "Uncle, I came to town to visit relatives, and I wanted to find some clean cardboard to cover the children's books. If I don't have any, forget it."

When the old gatekeeper heard that this beautiful woman was here for the sake of her child, his scrutinizing gaze suddenly changed, and his face became much gentler.

"Sister, if you ask me if there is anything else, I would like to put away some clean cardboard. I also want to wrap book covers for my children at home."

Gu Yunyao was overjoyed. Could it be that he was so lucky that he missed something again?

She asked politely: "Uncle, can you let me have a look? If it works, can I buy it with money?"

The old janitor was waiting for her words and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, come in and take a look."

A few minutes later, Gu Yunyao saw the old man take out a dozen ancient painting scrolls from behind the cabinet in the duty room.

She carefully opened it and took a look. It turned out to be ink paintings by the great Ming Dynasty painters Shen Zhou and Zhou Chen, as well as two calligraphy paintings by the calligraphy master Huang Tingjian.

What's this?

It turned out to be Liuru layman Tang Yin, that is, Tang Bohu's picture of a lady.

This is not an era where fakes are everywhere. Although she doesn't know how to paint, this antique charm is 100% authentic.

She suppressed her racing little heart and said calmly on the surface: "Uncle, I have many children, can you give me all these paintings? I'll pay five yuan?"

The old janitor put away these paintings because he wanted to exchange them for some small money privately.

Just now, he noticed that Gu Yunyao was dressed like a rich man and talked to her, but he didn't expect that he had what she was looking for.

He had made a plan in his mind. If the woman offered less money, he would leave it to his children to cover book covers.

Unexpectedly, the other party offered five yuan, which greatly exceeded his expectations.

The wrinkles on his face suddenly increased a lot, and he said with a good attitude: "Okay, you can take it. Don't tell anyone about this. If you want to find book wrapping paper for your child in the future, just come to me.

I’ll leave some more paintings when I have the chance.”

Gu Yunyao was so happy that she immediately took out five yuan and handed it over respectfully.

"Uncle, thank you."

Then, she wrapped the dozen scrolls in newspapers and walked out briskly.
