Chapter 782: Calligraphy and Painting Dispute (3)
Liu Jingxue choked. She was just a spectator, so how could the war spread to her?
Looking at Liu Jingxue who was sitting there speechless, Wang Xiulan sighed inwardly, wondering why she had ignored Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue has her own share and will definitely not be greedy for Jianjun's share.
Her character is guaranteed, and she is a good candidate to keep Jianjun's things.
It was all my fault for being too anxious and ignoring her, which led to the mistake.
It seems that this thing will not fall into my hands.
Seeing that Wang Xiulan didn't say anything and looked like she had accepted her fate, Liu Jianjun felt that this sudden idea of his was quite good.
"Little sister, how about you keep these two paintings for me.
I'm really like what mom said, it's not appropriate to keep such an important thing with me."
Liu Jingxue's heart beat faster and she kept asking herself what to do.
How did I end up in such a chaotic place?
She looked at Mr. Wu, hoping he would give her a hand.
But who would have thought that Mr. Wu was just watching this scene with a smile on his face, and didn't even offer any help to her.
"Forget it, it seems that Grandpa Wu is unreliable. I can only save myself." Liu Jingxue complained in her heart.
So should I agree to this or refuse it?
If I agree to this, I will offend my aunt. Don’t you see how much she wants to have the thing in her hands?
Not only my aunt, but maybe even my uncle was offended.
Given their admiration for the two great men, if they had such a thing in their hands, they would probably want to look at it every day.
But if I refuse, I will offend my second brother.
He must be blaming himself in his heart for not wanting to help with even such a small matter.
What should I do when faced with such a Shura field?
Being stared at by Liu Jianjun and Wang Xiulan, Liu Jingxue's mind raced, she became very nervous, and her palms began to sweat.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, like a drowning person who had grabbed the only life-saving straw, and she instantly felt the world at peace.
Liu Jingxue coughed and answered Liu Jianjun's question.
"Second brother, I have no problem keeping the calligraphy and painting for you.
Anyway, I have to keep my own share, so adding yours doesn’t mean much.
But I think it's better to give your calligraphy and paintings to your uncle and aunt, and I won't need them."
Wang Xiulan's eyes lit up when she heard this.
But Liu Jianjun frowned.
"But if I give it to them, the last two paintings might not all belong to me."
"Second brother, I have to ask you, in your heart, are these two paintings important, or are my uncle and aunt more important?" Liu Jingxue asked Liu Jianjun.
Liu Jianjun didn't even have to think about this kind of question and gave the answer directly.
"Xiaoxue, your question is a bit wrong.
Needless to say, although I value these two paintings, no matter how important they are, they are not as important as my parents."
Liu Jingxue spread her hands and said, "It's over now.
Since you think your uncle and aunt are more important than the calligraphy and paintings, then you can give the calligraphy and paintings to them for safekeeping."
"No, Xiaoxue, these are two different things." Liu Jianjun said anxiously.
“Although I admit that they are more important than calligraphy and paintings, there is no need to give the calligraphy and paintings to them for safekeeping.
Their importance has nothing to do with the preservation of calligraphy and paintings.
Xiaoxue, how did you link these two things together? "
Liu Jingxue shrugged and explained to him patiently.
"Brother, you are aware of the current situation outside, otherwise uncle, aunt, Grandpa Zou, and Grandpa Wu would not come here.
Although we were thinking whether we could take this opportunity to redress our uncle's wrongdoing.
But this is just our guess, and it may not necessarily come true. It is not certain whether my uncle and others can be rehabilitated.
Although the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Star Production Team has been replaced since last year, the new director is not bad and has not sent anyone to the countryside, but things are unpredictable and we have to prepare in advance.
The two pieces of calligraphy and paintings you brought back can be the amulets of my uncle and aunt at certain special moments.
If someone from the Revolutionary Committee comes and wants to harm them, with these two things, I don’t believe they would dare to do anything rash.”
Liu Jingxue paused for a moment and continued,
“Even if my uncle and his family can be rehabilitated this time, I am still worried about their safety given their past and the situation outside.
But if these two things are present, the situation will be different.
When the time comes, let them frame it and hang it in the most conspicuous place at home or in the office. I'll see who dares to touch them."
Liu Jingxue looked at Liu Jianjun and saw him frowning in thought, so she continued to instigate him.
“Second brother, you should know better than me the lethality of these two people.
Do you think that if uncle and his colleagues return to work, with these two things, they will be able to help them a lot?
Can it guarantee their safety?"
Before Liu Jianjun could speak, Wang Xiulan clapped her hands and said, "Xiaoxue is absolutely right.
These two things can not only be used as heirlooms, but also as amulets.
Jianjun, you can't refuse to agree to let us keep these two paintings for you, right? "
Elder Wu also said, "Jianjun, I think Xiaoxue is right. You really have to give these two things to your parents for safekeeping.
Not only let them keep it, but also let them protect your parents."
In order to reassure Liu Jianjun, Wang Xiulan hastily assured him,
"Jianjun, don't worry, we won't be greedy for this thing, and we will definitely return it to you in the end.
As for your eldest brother, it's his own fault that he doesn't have the ability to get it."
What Wang Xiulan was thinking was, even if your elder brother asked us for it, we can't make the decision for you for such a valuable thing.
If he and Yumei are really in a serious relationship, we will send them to find you and let you brothers discuss it yourselves.
We don't want to be bad people.
Given your brotherly relationship, you will be entangled by them in the end. Besides, you have two paintings in your hand, so you will agree to give one to them without our intervention. Why should you be the bad guy?
Liu Jianjun thought about it carefully for a while and felt that what Liu Jingxue said did make sense.
With these two pieces of calligraphy and paintings in hand, whether my parents continue to stay here or go back after being rehabilitated, they are protected.
"Okay, then I'll leave this calligraphy and painting to you and my dad for safekeeping.
But you must be careful not to lose them or break them."
"Also, you must return them to me in the end. You can't take the initiative to give them to my eldest brother."
Liu Jianjun was really worried and reminded him again and again.
Wang Xiulan assured, "Don't worry, I promise to return it to you intact.
As for your eldest brother, you brothers should handle the matters between yourselves, we cannot interfere."
Liu Jianjun had no choice but to take out the calligraphy and paintings he had just collected and give them to Wang Xiulan.
"Mom, you must keep it safe."
Wang Xiulan took the things and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it."
"Xiu Lan, spread out the calligraphy and painting so we can take a closer look," Old Wu said.
"Okay, Brother Wu."
Wang Xiulan unfolded the calligraphy and painting again, placed it on the kang, and began to appreciate it again with Mr. Wu.
