Being complimented by someone else should have been a joyful event, but Shi Yao couldn't help but feel extremely sheepish on the inside. So, she tried to clarify the situation, saying, "Uncle Ge, it was really just luck. A friend introduced me to the shop, and I saw that the inkstone looks not bad and only costs 200 RMB, so I bought it right away…"
But how much of a coincidence would it take for one to buy a 200,000 RMB inkstone for just 200 RMB? Uncle Ge didn't think that it was just luck at play here.
He thought that Shi Yao was just being humble, and that deepened his respect and fondness toward her. He turned to Grandpa Lin and remarked, "Old Master Lin, youngsters nowadays tend to get over their head over the smallest matters. It's truly rare to see someone as humble as your granddaughter-in-law! The fact that she bought it right away as soon as she saw it means that she's a highly decisive person who doesn't hesitate to act on her good judgment!"
