Chapter 17: Treasure Hunting at the Scrap Yard 3

Chen Jian: “Lan Yan, my mom said you’re always running out, that’s not good. You’re a young girl, you shouldn’t go out so often, it’s better to stay home and do housework and sew clothes.”

Iron Orchid: ???

No, does this guy live by the sea? Why is he so nosy!

What year is it, still pushing this gentle and virtuous act?

Before, she thought Ma Da-zhen was pretty good, but now she has no good feelings for her at all.

Having a son like this, his mother probably isn’t much better.

“Don’t bother, I have something to do, I’m leaving.”

Iron Orchid didn’t want to waste words with him, she turned around and wanted to leave.

But Chen Jian grabbed her arm:

“Hey… wait… I haven’t finished talking…”

Iron Orchid shook off his hand, her eyes turning cold:

“I don’t know you, there’s nothing to talk about.”

Chen Jian frowned: “We’re old neighbors, how can you say you don’t know me. Lan Yan, I feel like you’ve changed, you’ve become impolite, you weren’t like this before.”

Iron Orchid rolled her eyes impatiently.

“Alright, stop rambling, spit it out!”

Chen Jian’s face turned a little ugly.

“You… you’re so rude, not at all like a girl.”

He kept rambling on and on without getting to the point.

Iron Orchid really wanted to give him a slap, but she held back.

She had just pretended to be weak in front of the public security officers this morning, if she hit someone now, it wouldn’t be good if it got out.

“None of your business, mind your own business!”

Iron Orchid couldn’t hit him, so she could only use her mouth to fight back.

Chen Jian was also a little angry: “I’m just being kind, don’t say it so harshly, okay. My mom often praises you in front of me, saying you’re obedient and sensible, but now it seems you’re not that kind of person at all.”

Iron Orchid: “It’s none of your business what kind of person I am, good dogs don’t block the road, move aside!”

Iron Orchid was about to leave, Chen Jian wanted to grab her arm again.

Iron Orchid shot him a frosty glare:

“Chen Jian, you’re grabbing me on the street, that’s harassment of a woman, do you believe I’ll report you!”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jian’s face turned panicked.

“I didn’t do anything… don’t talk nonsense!”

“Tsk! Coward!”

Iron Orchid sneered and strode away.

This unpleasant little episode didn’t affect Iron Orchid’s treasure hunting mood at all.

This time she went to the scrap yard in the north of the city, and found nothing.

It’s not that she didn’t find anything, she still collected some books to pass the time.

Other valuable things, like small yellow croakers, antiques, and paintings, were not found.

Maybe she wasn’t lucky enough!

“Good luck comes, good luck comes, good luck brings joy and love. Good luck comes, we have good luck, we welcome good luck, prosperity and wealth, we travel all over the world～”

Iron Orchid hummed the song “Good Luck Comes” in her mouth, hoping to bring herself some luck.

The scrap yard in the north of the city, here I come!

This time, the goddess of luck still didn’t come.

Iron Orchid was not discouraged, she continued to the next scrap yard.

However, as soon as she arrived at the scrap yard, the old man guarding the gate closed the iron gate.

Oh, it was already evening, they were going to rest.

But this didn’t affect Iron Orchid at all.

A small piece of wire could solve it.

What? You say taking without asking is stealing?

Iron Orchid admitted, she was stealing, openly and honestly.

Anyway, she was already in the scrap yard, no one was harmed, and her conscience didn’t hurt at all.

She had experienced the apocalypse where killing was commonplace, Iron Orchid didn’t have any moral principles.

People should be a little selfish.

Iron Orchid smoothly entered the scrap yard.

She rummaged around for a while, and actually found several good things.

A huanghuali dressing table with a missing leg, a famous ancient painting hidden in a broken porcelain vase, and a set of sapphire jewelry in a black urinal.

These few things together were worth at least a few million!

Hehe, this trip wasn’t in vain!

Iron Orchid slipped out of the scrap yard.

She had just walked a short distance when she heard several voices in a small alley.

The short guy said: “Big brother, are you really going to throw the things on this cart to the scrap yard to burn, it’s such a pity.”

The burly man with a broad back and thick shoulders said: “Pity what, that capitalist dog, he doesn’t want them anymore, these are all his things, they must be burned!”

Another person said: “There are a lot of collectibles inside, we found them in the cellar by accident, if we secretly sell them, no one will know.”

The burly man glared: “You’re looking for death, who dares to collect these now, if you’re reported, you’ll be eating rice bran, don’t say these things again!”

The man sighed: “Yes, you’re right, these are just a pile of scrap now, they’re not worth anything.”

The short guy said with a bitter face: “If I could sell them for ten jin of rice, I would sell them, our family is about to starve.”

The man chimed in: “Yeah, it’s better than nothing, we’ve been busy all day today.”

The burly man frowned, a little hesitant: “Why don’t… we go to the black market?”

The short guy scratched his head: “This whole cart of things is too conspicuous, if we’re discovered, we’re done for.”

After a while, the burly man said silently:

“If… we could sell these things without anyone knowing…”

As soon as he finished speaking.

A strange sound suddenly rang out: “I’ll help you!”

The three of them were startled.

They saw a ghostly figure in black flashing in front of them.

A second later, the people and the cart disappeared, leaving only a pile of things on the ground.

The three brothers were dumbfounded.

“…B… Big brother… we… did we meet a ghost?”

The short guy was so scared that he stuttered.

The burly man frowned, looking around vigilantly.

Another man went forward to check.

When he saw that it was actually rice and flour on the ground, his face lit up.

“Big brother, it’s rice and flour, there’s about thirty or forty jin, we’ve struck it rich!”

As soon as he said this, the short guy and the burly man were shocked.

The three of them didn’t care about anything else, they quickly picked up the food on the ground and ran away.

This was precious grain, nothing could compare.

As they ran, they discussed who the black figure was.

In the end, they all came to the same conclusion:

It must be a god who heard their voices and came to help them.

Iron Orchid, who was called a god, was standing in the space, laughing with her hands on her hips.

“Hahaha, so much money, I’m rich, I’m rich!”
