Lin Xuan carefully looked at the jade and was ecstatic. Unfortunately, there was originally a pair of jade watermelons, but only one appeared here!
This was a peerless national treasure. How could Lin Xuan miss it?
"Yes, it's quite nice, but...”
Lin Xuan clicked his tongue." It's just that the material is too ordinary. It's just made of glass!" It was just for show!”
Just as Lin Xuan had guessed, the fat old man was a fake Daoist priest. This emerald watermelon was obtained from a deserted temple in the mountains.
"Little brother, there are no less than twenty people who have come to me to ask. My price is fair.”
"How can this thing be made of glass?”
The old Daoist laughed happily. To be honest, he couldn't figure it out either. He thought it was glass. If it was jade, how terrifying would it be?
"Five dollars!" Lin Xuan said coldly. No more!"
"What?"
The old man widened his eyes.
He thought that he had caught a big fish and met someone easy to fool. Who knew that the price would be reduced to five pieces.
The old Daoist snatched the melon from Lin Xuan's hand and continued to bluff unwillingly,"If you want to buy it, you have to be sincere. At least 20 yuan…"
Lin Xuan saw the old man's eyes darting around and knew that there was still room for negotiation. He smiled and said," 50 yuan. I'll give you some extra meat. In this day and age, money alone can't eat and drink well!"”
Lin Xuan knew that this melon was indeed a rare thing. The old man had already met many buyers, and the other party was already interested in his offer.
From the fat old man's tone, although the price of 50 yuan was low, it could still be considered a bargain.
To Lin Xuan, there were already enough tickets in his space. Now that there were so many, he could use them to exchange for something.
If this old Daoist knew that this thing was a priceless treasure, he would never sell it. He might even bring it with him when he slept or ate.
As Lin Xuan spoke, he suddenly took out five large unity cards from his chest. The old priest was shocked when he saw them.
This young man actually brought so much cash with him and even took out so many tickets. The fat old man was extremely shocked.
The old Daoist nodded repeatedly,"It's not easy to eat well in this era.”
"Alright! I'm really looking down on you. I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age.”
The fat old man took the money and tickets." I'll sell this to you at a low price. Consider it a friendship!"”
He took the money and tickets and looked at them carefully. In the end, he could not help but sigh in his heart.
"This young man is really amazing. He's definitely a big fish!”
The fat old man said excitedly," Little brother, this is our first time working together. I still have a lot of good things at my place. Come another day. I'll show you!"”
Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.
He didn't know if this person could bring good things or if he had other ideas.
However, with this successful experience, he decided to meet the old man again. The black market was a treasure trove for him.
……
In the courtyard house.
After dinner.
Qin Huairu squatted beside the sink and washed Silly Zhu's dirty clothes while thinking about how she could regain Silly Zhu's good impression and trust.
When Silly Zhu thought about Qin Huiru and Xu Damao, he could not help but feel disgusted. During this period of time, he had kept a distance from Qin Huiru.
Was he really going to let go just like that? Qin Huairu was indignant…
Definitely not!
Now, his family's savings had been squandered by this family, and his reputation was ruined.
Silly Zhu! He could not give up no matter what.
Qin Huairu sighed as she thought about it. She shook the washed clothes and hung them on the rope in front of Shazhu's house.
As soon as Qin Huiru entered, her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, shouted angrily,""Where did you go? The family won't be able to make a living tomorrow. Aren't you going to think of a way?”
Ever since she was punished by the factory, Jia Zhangshi had been unforgiving all day.
Qin Huairu wanted to explain herself when she heard those harsh words.
However, an explanation would turn into an argument. Thinking that the children were all asleep, he could only pretend that he did not hear her and walk into the house.
"I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf?"
Seeing that Qin Huairu was ignoring her, Jia Zhangshi became even more enthusiastic.
"Alright, alright, I'll think of a way. I won't starve you.”Qin Huairu could not help but retort.
Jia Zhang-shi continued to mutter,"I don't care about you. You go ahead. Anyway, you have to solve tomorrow's food first."”
Qin Huairu sighed when she heard this. She stood up, put on her clothes, and walked out.
She was going to look for the First Uncle. In the entire courtyard, other than Silly Zhu, the First Uncle was the only one who would take care of her house from time to time.
It was already very late at night. It was winter, and there were not many people wandering around in the courtyard.
Qin Huairu made her way to First Uncle's door and knocked ten times rhythmically. Nine deep and one shallow was the secret signal she had agreed upon with First Uncle over the years.
Sure enough, there was a rustling sound coming from the room.
After a while, an old man also came out with his clothes on.
"What's the matter?"
"My family can't make a living."
"Sigh, why is your family always so troublesome?”
"Go to the courtyard. Don't stand in front of my house. I'll get you some noodles.”
"Ah, okay. Thank you, First Uncle.”
Qin Huairu thanked him gratefully and retreated to a dark corner in the courtyard to wait.
