Chapter 252: Jade
However, as Yun Jiao spoke, everyone’s gaze fell back on Wang Qiang, who was being restrained.
Wang Qiang’s expression was ferocious: “You bitch, how dare you betray me!”
The woman guiltily averted her gaze. Although she quite liked the strong and robust Wang Qiang, she desired a life of wealth even more.
Clearly, Wang Qiang could not satisfy her material desires.
Although Cai was a bit pathetic, he was, after all, a Level 6 fitter. His monthly salary was substantial, and he also had an allocated apartment.
Wang Qiang gave a sinister smile: “Zhao Cai, I’ve slept with this bitch many times. You still want to live with her? Haha, you probably don’t know, but I got together with her long before you did. Even contacting you was something I specifically instructed.”
“You’re a damn idiot. Why do people like you get good jobs? We’re brothers, you can’t see me suffering and not give me money? Pfft… what kind of bullshit brother are you? You never took me seriously!”
He was just jealous. They had grown up together since childhood. Zhao Cai’s family was gone, and he was raised by his grandmother, but his grandmother also passed away when he was twelve.
A pitiful poor ghost, in the village, he used to chase after him.
But later, Zhao Cai was inexplicably taken in as an apprentice by an old fitter. When they met again, one had a job and a house, and was considered promising by everyone.
The other was still loafing around in the village, very disliked by the villagers. This disparity made Wang Qiang, who was already narrow-minded, wish he could snatch everything Zhao Cai had.
This led to the setup for Zhao Cai later.
Who would have thought that that idiot Zhao Cai would happen to fall for that bitch.
The onlookers were astonished by his shamelessness.
No, are brothers supposed to support you?
“What kind of judgment do you have? What kind of brother and partner did you find?”
The unlucky man, Zhao Cai, wore a bitter smile.
“I grew up with him; we’re from the same village.”
“You grew up together and still can’t see what kind of person he is? Your brain really isn’t working well.”
In the end, Zhao Cai insisted on getting his money back.
After this incident, no matter how much Zhao Cai liked his partner, he knew she wasn’t someone he could marry.
It’s better to endure short-term pain than long-term suffering. He cried, tears and snot flowing, and sent the two people who couldn’t pay to the police station.
Everyone gave him a thumbs up.
“My heart aches. I feel like I need to see Doctor Xu again.”
Yun Jiao, who followed along: …………
Returning to the medical hall, Yun Jiao greeted her master and then continued to watch them treat patients.
As for Zhao Cai, Old Master Xu gave him acupuncture to clear his stifled anger and prescribed some medicine to nourish his body.
“Perhaps you should find another partner.”
Zhao Cai was completely dejected: “I’ll see.”
After Zhao Cai left, Yun Jiao’s senior brothers and sisters immediately called her over.
“Jiaojiao, quickly tell us, what’s the situation? You caught them, right?”
The second senior sister was full of gossip.
The fourth senior brother also pricked up his ears.
Old Master Xu was treating a patient and only glared at them before getting back to work.
Yun Jiao sat on a small stool and, although slowly, described the entire situation of those people.
It just lacked the exciting, dramatic fluctuations of storytelling.
The second senior sister said with slight disdain: “Your storytelling ability isn’t very good.”
They then turned to listen to others.
Their chattering was much livelier than Yun Jiao’s.
It was getting late, so Yun Jiao decided to stay at the medical hall.
The next day, after breakfast, she went out for a stroll to buy breakfast and discovered that what happened to Zhao Cai yesterday had spread to so many people in such a short time.
When buying soy milk and fried dough sticks, she even heard people discussing the matter.
Indeed, one cannot underestimate people’s ability for gossip.
“Master, I’m going back.”
“Can you manage on your own? Let your senior brother escort you back.”
Yun Jiao, full of food and drink, let out a satisfied burp and patted her chest, assuring him with great confidence.
“Don’t worry, I can definitely do it.”
After saying that, she shouldered her small bag, said goodbye to her master, and ran out.
Old Master Xu was giving acupuncture to an old acquaintance and didn’t even have time to stop her; she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Old Fourth, quickly go see where that little girl ran off to. How can such a tiny person be so bold.”
Song Chengyou went out to search, but quickly returned, looking dejected.
“I couldn’t find her; that girl runs too fast.”
Old Master Xu sighed.
Meanwhile, Yun Jiao did not return immediately but instead used her small backpack to buy a skewer of candied hawthorn.
The hawthorn berries were quite large; a skewer of candied hawthorn could cover almost half her face.
Licking the sugar coating on the skewer, she wandered aimlessly, her main goal being to go wherever she ended up.
As she passed a bicycle shop, she was suddenly attracted by something small inside and unhesitatingly lifted her short legs to step inside.
When she emerged again, Yun Jiao had a skewer of candied hawthorn in her mouth and was riding a small tricycle-style bicycle, her short legs pedaling swiftly.
Online picture, similar to this.
“Ding ding ding…”
She occasionally tinkled the bell in front.
The sight of the tiny person riding a bicycle around the street attracted quite a bit of attention.
The children’s gazes were full of envy and longing.
They wanted one too!
Yun Jiao, dinging her small bicycle all the way, boredly chased a stray dog into an alley with few people.
But after passing through the alley, it opened up into something unexpected.
Behind the alley was an open-air market. The stray dog had run off somewhere, and she didn’t care, just slowly rode her small vehicle around the market.
The market wasn’t crowded at this time, neither the sellers nor the buyers.
Many of them looked like they were selling legendary antiques.
Yun Jiao, guided by her feeling, stopped in front of an old man’s stall.
In front of the old man, a clean, floral old cloth was spread on the ground, and on the cloth lay a pair of bracelets, jade bracelets.
Yun Jiao got off her small vehicle and squatted down.
“Little child, how did you get here? Where are your adults?”
Yun Jiao stared at the pair of bracelets: “Beautiful.”
The old grandpa’s mouth turned up: “Yes, this pair of bracelets is ice-grade. Not only is the texture good, but the key is the purple, which is pure blue-purple. Most importantly, it’s a pair; this situation is very rare…”
The old man, unconcerned that he was talking to a child, spoke enthusiastically about the jade bracelets, showing he knew a lot about jade.
“What a pity.”
He sighed at the end, carefully holding the pair of bracelets and wiping them repeatedly with a clean handkerchief.
“If it weren’t for the urgent need for money at home right now, I wouldn’t be willing to sell these bracelets.”
Yun Jiao liked them very much too!
She had been drawn to the pair of bracelets at first sight.
Such beautiful colors, such beautiful stones.
More beautiful than many gemstones.
“Then, grandpa, how much are you selling them for?”
The old man said with a smile: “These? I won’t sell this pair for less than a hundred thousand.”
Individually, they weren’t that expensive; at current market rates, twenty to thirty thousand would be the absolute top.
But a pair of ice-grade blue-purple jade was very rare. A hundred thousand wasn’t expensive, but very few people could afford it.
However, below a hundred thousand, the old man was very unwilling.
Online picture, I really like this color~
Some prices were found on Baidu, and for things whose prices couldn’t be found, I had to make them up. This is a novel, not reality, so please read it for enjoyment without overthinking, and don’t relate it to reality.
