When they got closer, they found that the person who was talking was indeed Ma Baoku, and next to him was his wife Liu Chunhua.

The couple, originally from Xishi, Shaanxi Province, owned a mine and were both dressed in designer clothes. The man wore a gold chain as thick as his pinky finger and a large gold watch on his wrist, almost as big as an ordinary water meter. The woman was even more lavishly adorned with jewelry, seven gemstone rings and three gold bracelets on each hand. Her presence was dazzling.

Opposite them was a thin old lady wearing a dirty and old cloth shirt that was vaguely blue in color. Her hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles. She looked quite old.

The old lady sat cross-legged on the ground, with a bundle of cloth spread in front of her, on which was placed a jade ring.

Ma Baoku was pointing at her and cursing, and Liu Chunhua was also saying something beside her, but she was speaking in dialect, and Chen Qingshan could not quite understand. He could probably understand that she was saying that the old lady was bullying them because they were tourists from outside the area and was trying to raise the price.

The two of them were whining and grumbling, but the old lady who was setting up the stall sat there calmly, without even raising her eyes, and said slowly:

"I've already told you that you don't have enough merit to buy it!"

Liu Chunhua jumped up when he heard this:

"What are you giving away? This is the first time in my life that I've heard that buying something requires merit?

How can the merit not be enough? Every year our family goes to Jinlong Temple to burn the first incense stick, which costs 1.88 million per stick. The great monks in the temple have donated it. Our family has infinite merit!

I have done enough good deeds, just name a price, I have plenty of money!"

The onlookers covered their mouths and laughed secretly after hearing this. This couple is really a nouveau riche and they are really rich and powerful.

Chen Qingshan and Xiao Li were both amused and helpless after hearing this, but they were all in the same group, and if a fight really broke out, Xiao Li, the tour guide, would also be held responsible. The two of them stopped watching the fun and squeezed through the crowd to come to Ma Baoku and Liu Chunhua.

Chen Qingshan held Liu Chunhua and said:

"Sister Liu, calm down. It's so hot, and you're hurting yourself, aren't you?"

When Liu Chunhua and Ma Baoku saw that it was Chen Qingshan and Xiao Li, they immediately felt that they had finally found the support of the organization. Ma Baoku stepped forward and grabbed Li Wenhan's hand:

"Guide Xiao Li, is this old lady taking advantage of us because we're from out of town and deliberately not selling to us? That's not how business is done!"

Li Wenhan quickly waved his hands: "Oh no, that's not the case. I don't think this grandma is that kind of person. Brother Ma, don't be so loud. You might scare the old lady."

Chen Qingshan also lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Ma, Xiao Li is right. The old lady is old and can't stand being scared. It would be troublesome if she called the police. We are here for tourism and we are unfamiliar with the place. It is better to be harmonious and not cause trouble."

Ma Baoku felt a little scared after hearing this. He remembered that he was a little impulsive just now. He pointed at the old lady and scolded her for a long time. If it were the old ladies in his hometown, they would have covered their chests and lay on the ground pretending to have a heart attack. They might even extort money from him. Although he, Ma Baoku, was not short of money, he didn't want to have an extra mother for the rest of his life.

Ma Baoku lost his previous arrogance and said in a low voice:

"Sister Chen, do you know that just now your sister-in-law and I came here and saw this old lady selling jade, and your sister-in-law asked how much it cost.

She looked up at us and said: One million!

Well, when I heard that a jade ring costs 1 million, it must be a good thing!

I gave up my money to buy it, but I didn't know that the old woman wouldn't sell it. My merits are not enough, and buying it will only bring disaster! You still won't give up your anger! "

Chen Qingshan felt amused. Although the Ma Baoku couple were rich, they were completely rude people. He must have said something unpleasant to upset the old lady, which was why she refused to sell the property to him.

Chen Qingshan didn't show it on his face, he nodded and said:

"What Ma said is true, but being pushy is not a good deal. There is no such thing as forced buying or selling. If she doesn't sell it to you, it's her loss.

This antique alley is so long, there must be other things that will catch Ma Ge's eye. Why don't you and Sister Liu go somewhere else? You might find a great bargain and buy a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain! "

After hearing this, Ma Baoku's unhappiness disappeared. He said hello to Xiao Li, took his wife and left. The onlookers also dispersed.

After seeing that everyone had left, Chen Qingshan squatted down and looked at the things on the old lady's bag. It was a jade ring with a light green clear water bottom. The flesh was delicate and transparent, with an inner diameter of less than five centimeters, and it looked like a children's bracelet.

Chen Qingshan likes jade and has always wanted to buy a jade bracelet, but she has never found one that suits her eyes. Today, she fell in love with this bracelet at first sight, but unfortunately the ring size is too small for her to wear.

Thinking it was a pity, she was about to get up and leave when the old lady suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at her, then closed them again and said slowly:

"As for you... you're still a little short of that, but it's good enough, right?"

Chen Qingshan was stunned:

"Auntie, are you saying I'm qualified to buy this bracelet?"

The old lady closed her eyes and said "hmm":

"I've been waiting here for a month. Today is the last day. I never thought I'd see you.

Actually, strictly speaking, your merits are not enough, but I don’t have time... It seems to be God’s will, so it’s you!"

Chen Qingshan had never seen anyone do business like a blind date, relying on fate, and found it very novel:

"Auntie, this is a children's bracelet, right? The ring is too small, I can't wear it!"

When the old lady heard this, she stopped pretending to be profound and glared at him:

"Who said that? Stretch out your hand!"

Chen Qingshan was glared at by the old lady and subconsciously reached out for her hand. Xiao Li pulled her back and whispered in her ear:

"Hey Sister Chen, be careful, there's a scam. Didn't you hear Brother Ma just say that this grandma wants 1 million? What if you put it on and can't take it off?

One million is not a small amount, and I don’t think this bracelet is worth one million.

Chen Qingshan clapped his hands:

"Don't worry, Xiao Li. I wear a bracelet with a circumference of 53. I think this bracelet has a circumference of 42 at most. Even for children's bracelets, it is considered small. I definitely won't wear it. You can put it..."

Chen Qingshan and Xiao Li were both stunned, and their expressions were Σ(°△°|||)︴

Chen Qingshan was stunned as he looked at the bracelet tightly wrapped around his wrist.

How the hell did you put this on?
