Lucas Yin and the Trials of Youth Chapter 55

In the little half a month after returning from Suzhou, Ethan Nie followed Ding Hanbai to attend various gatherings. During this period, he met many people who collected antiques, and also successively bought out many items.

It is generally said that antiques become more valuable as time goes by, so if people are not in a hurry to use money, they will not sell them off, either in exchange for something or because they are ignorant of the goods.

Ding Hanbai was an exception. On the way home after the dinner, he looked at the scenery outside the car window and said: "I was just looking for fun in these things. At first I thought the things looked good, but later I found that the process of shopping and changing seemed more interesting."

Ethan Nie asked: "Is there anything in your library that you can't bear to part with?"

"Can't bear to part with it? No, I'm willing to give it up." Ding Hanbai answered simply, "The more I keep these things, the more valuable they become, but who should I leave them to? I don't have children, so it's most appropriate to spend them directly in money. Yes. A few items can go up a lot in two years, but you can’t wait too long. It would be bad luck if you don’t have the money to spend it. "
