by Aurora 17:51,Nov 20,2023


The person speaking is Lilli Knuth, Boris Knuth Shan's only aunt. After her husband's business went bankrupt, she has been living with her parents' family. To put it bluntly, she also wants to get a piece of the pie from her mother's family!

The so-called relatives are just a bunch of losers. Now that Aldrich Knuth is so powerful, everyone has stood up and accused Lilli Knuth of being disrespectful!

Faced with the harsh criticism from her clan, Lilli Knuth had no choice but to look at John Wilson coldly. The implication was that she had tried her best, but there was nothing she could do. Her father , Geek Knuth, was a gambler and had the lowest status among the four brothers in the Knuth Family. The whole family had to rely on Lilli Knuth to make money. What about life! At this moment, she couldn't fall out with the whole family because of John Wilson!

John Wilson smiled bitterly and whispered: "According to the previous agreement, you have the obligation to rescue me!"

"Trash, are you still talking about me?"Lilli Knuth was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger. When she heard John Wilson's words, she immediately whispered angrily: "If you hadn't provoked the second uncle, why would you have provoked ridicule? How many times have I told you? , come to our the Knuth Family, just shut your mouth and just treat yourself as a mute! Now...you should apologize to the second uncle yourself!"

Apologize? John Wilson really couldn't think of anything he had done wrong.

It may be in line with that sentence, if you hate a person, don't talk, even breathing is wrong.

"What's going on, Little blind Man, are you tempted? My calligraphy and painting are worth a lot of money!"Aldrich Knuth continued to laugh!

Before John Wilson could say anything, Boris Knuth gave a bad laugh, stepped forward and spread the calligraphy and painting in front of John Wilson and said: "Second brother, don't you see that this Little blind Man eyes are straight? Just open his eyes, and we will see better too." The master of Dantiao!"

The crowd burst into laughter again!

Lilli Knuth looked at her parents with a cold face. She hoped that her unsatisfactory father would come out to help John Wilson. Of course, the most important thing was to help her save some face!

However, Geek Knuth and his wife hid far away and looked at John Wilson indifferently! They hated John Wilson. If it weren't for John Wilson, Lilli Knuth might have married a young master from another aristocratic family in Cloud city business world! But they couldn't do without John Wilson, because without John Wilson, they wouldn't even be qualified to inherit part of the Knuth Family property! Therefore, they are not happy that John Wilson is humiliated!

Lilli Knuth had already turned her face away. John Wilson was like a tomato in a pile of durians, with sharp edges all around him that could pierce him!

Everything is up to you!

John Wilson glanced at the calligraphy and painting. No wonder Aldrich Knuth was confident that he didn't know a single word because it was written in oracle bone script! Stroke by stroke, twists and turns, like black tadpoles gathered together!

"Come and take a look, our good-for-nothing uncle has started to enjoy calligraphy and painting, haha!"Boris Knuth took the lead in cheering!

"Him? He's just as good as the paper sticks, but he's just fooling around!" Someone else laughed!

Liu Jinxiao looked triumphant, looked at John Wilson sideways and said: "I'm sorry, Little blind Man, this seems a bit difficult for you, why don't you just dance a song! I heard that you have to take off your clothes when dancing the master dance. Half naked, right? Haha!"

John Wilson glanced at Lilli Knuth habitually.

Lilli Knuth stood in a corner with her head buried and her shoulders shaking slightly. She actually also had hatred for John Wilson. This hatred came from Blind Clinton and John Wilson's incompetence. But ask yourself, am I not weak and hypocritical in nature? Am I not being ordered by my parents for the sake of the family's property? Therefore, at this point, she felt that she was even humbler than John Wilson.

"Hey, can you still say something with a flat belly? It's almost dawn!"Aldrich Knuth pressed him step by step: "My words cost 280,000 yuan, but if I let you, a Little blind Man who has never seen the world, Recognize it, wouldn’t I..."

"Your calligraphy is signed by Gerald, an epigrapher from the Qing Dynasty. This man is indeed a master of calligraphy and is well versed in oracle bone inscriptions!"John Wilson finally spoke!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter!

"This kid is starting to be blind. He's returning oracle bones..."

"A poor guy actually talks about calligraphy and painting in a fake way!"

"Yes, this Wang Shaorong is probably a made-up name!"



Only Aldrich Knuth had a look of astonishment on his face, because when he bought this calligraphy, he asked someone and found out that the calligraphy was indeed Gerald, even though he didn't know the oracle bone inscriptions either, just to please his father.

"You... don't say it's useless. I'm asking you what is written on it, but I didn't ask for your name!"Aldrich Knuth said sophistry.

In fact, according to what he just said, as long as John Wilson recognizes a word, he will win, but Aldrich Knuth is acting like a fool!

Lilli Knuth was a little surprised and raised her head to look at John Wilson. She didn't expect that John Wilson actually spoke! Moreover, he found that the John Wilson he saw today was different from the past. This man who could only laugh was actually full of disdain.

"This word is an oracle bone inscription, also called a deed. It was circulated during the Yin and Shang Dynasties! Translated, it is roughly a small poem! If I read it correctly, the content should be: The household is opened in the morning, and the mugwort leaves brush people's heads. I know it is The sky is close, and my neighbors stay for me. This is a poem chanting the Dragon Boat Festival, which just fits today's scene!"John Wilson said calmly!

Everyone's laughter stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Aldrich Knuth stupidly. Boris Knuth couldn't wait to mutter: "Second brother, is he right?"

Aldrich Knuth's face was extremely ugly. He originally wanted to be in the limelight, but he didn't expect that this kid who sells dead people's things actually knows Oracle!

"You... how did you hide it?"Aldrich Knuth squeezed out a few words for a while, then turned to Lilli Knuth and shouted: "I know, Lilli Knuth, it's you, you secretly investigated me!"

"Okay, Second Uncle, it has nothing to do with Lilli Knuth! With all due respect, your calligraphy..."John Wilson hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's fake!"

"What are you talking about? Little bastard, do you think you can talk nonsense just because you got through the test? This is a gift I gave to my parents out of my filial piety, how can I lie?" Liu Jinxiao was speaking shamelessly, but when he heard John Wilson say his own words It was a lie, and he suddenly became furious. He didn't even mention the bet just now, and started to vent his anger on John Wilson!

"That's right, Little blind Man, you have thought carefully about what to say!"

"That's it, open your dog eyes and close your dog mouth!"

"You haven't seen anything before, why are you talking nonsense like a little brat like you?"



"Everything I said is true!"John Wilson changed his usual gentle face and said coldly: "The inscription of this character is Gerald, and the style of the character is indeed Gerald. It is the oracle bone inscription style from Pan Geng to Wushi period. The macro It is majestic and full of changes. However, the problem lies in the content of this poem! If I remember correctly, this poem was created by the modern poet Mr. Yu Boping. Mr. Yu was born in 1900, and Gerald died in 1900, so , how could Gerald’s works contain Mr. Yu’s poems?”

John Wilson's words were reasonable, but others didn't know that Aldrich Knuth was actually depressed and had lost more than 200,000 yuan in vain. The key was that he had made the most ridiculous pediatric mistake! However, in full view of everyone, he couldn't admit defeat to a little philistine like John Wilson!

"You...you are talking nonsense!"Aldrich Knuth became angry and pointed at Geek Knuth behind him: "Fourth brother, you don't care about your ungrateful uncle. It's so damn unlucky. Let him go away and let him cancel his engagement with Xiaoshan. !”

Geek Knuth couldn't be happy to see his arrogant second brother fighting with his future son-in-law who was getting more and more angry, so he snorted: "I mean, second brother, you can ask Xiaoshan to cancel the engagement. I also see how poor this person is." Gui trouble, but are you willing to give me your share of property? Otherwise, the old man will not agree!"

"Fart, you think so!"Aldrich Knuth said angrily!

In order to flatter him, everyone started to accuse John Wilson. What do you pretend to understand when you don’t understand, what do you mean when you have a hairless mouth, why do you want to be a teacher, what do you mean when you are a dog with a bit of a chew - Hu Le, the vulgar words are coming at you!

John Wilson regretted that he caused trouble. In fact, he didn't need to. There have been too many such scenes in the past two years. Haven't they all come here? What happened to you today? Even if it’s for my father, what can I do if I endure it for a while?

"Grandpa is here!" Just as everyone was making noise, Aldrich Knuth's son Beulah Knuth suddenly said!

"What are you shouting for? Are there any family traditions and rules?"Fits Knuth shook his gray beard and shouted loudly!

Boris Knuth was eager to show off, so she ran forward to support Mr. Liu and told the whole story. Finally, she whispered: "Dad, you are an expert in antiques, calligraphy and painting. Please tell us whether it is true or false, and whether this Little blind Man is Are you fooling people?"

Fits Knuth squinted at John Wilson and then at Aldrich Knuth.

Aldrich Knuth felt guilty and was too embarrassed to speak!

Everyone's eyes gathered here, waiting for the final word from the head of the Knuth Family family!

Mr. Liu looked at the calligraphy and painting and snorted coldly. He suddenly raised his crutch, pointed at John Wilson's nose and shouted angrily: "You haven't even married yet, and you are so arrogant. Do you still have the dignity of elders and younger ones? Didn't the Blind Clinton teach you how to do it?" Tuck your tail between your legs? Follow the family rules and kneel down!"
