Chapter 63 That Greedy Face
Li Jiaojiao's fearless spirit even made Ye Caiping look at her with admiration.
She is truly worthy of being the heroine!
Ye Caiping curled her lips sarcastically: "Li Jiaojiao, he is not your biological father. You have seen everything he did with your own eyes."
"Is it worth it for you to protect such a dirty and despicable person?"
Li Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes red. "No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he treats me well, he is a good person! He is my father!"
Ye Caiping nodded, not surprised at her answer.
After all, it is written in the book that Li Jiaojiao is not a purely good person. Her main character is both good and evil and she protects her own people.
But if one is both good and evil, can he not distinguish right from wrong?
Ye Caiping shook her head.
What she just said did not mean that she really wanted to change Li Jiaojiao or persuade her to be a good person.
Instead, he buried a thorn in Li Jiaojiao's heart.
Without space, money, or a superior living environment, she will look forward to their future life!
"Get out of here!" Ye Daquan yelled, "Are you not eating enough? Do you want me to pour another bucket of water on you?"
Li Zhiyuan and Li Jiaojiao shuddered.
Li Zimo didn't care about the dirt anymore, he held his breath and rushed over to pull the two of them: "Let's go home first."
Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and said, "Wait, I have something to say!"
Li Jiaojiao stared at the jade on Ye Caiping's neck. She knew that if she couldn't get it today, it would be even more difficult in the future.
"Ye, I know it was my father's fault. But he was just wrong. Now he has been made like this by you, so we are even. Let's write off the grudge between the two families!"
"Do you have any manners? Did you call me Ye?" Ye Daquan shouted coldly.
"She is the daughter of a scholar, but she has no manners at all!" The villagers looked at Li Jiaojiao with contempt.
Li Jiaojiao's face changed slightly, and she took a deep breath to suppress her hatred:
"Yes, I'm sorry... I just made a slip of the tongue. Auntie, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. How about we end the feud between our two families here?"
Ye Caiping sneered: "You make it sound like we were the ones who started the trouble. As long as you don't make trouble again, we won't bother to find you."
Li Jiaojiao forced a smile: "Actually... to be honest, we don't have any deep hatred, so let's just let this matter pass."
"I have something I would like to ask of you... I want to buy the jade on your neck."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted.
Li Jiaojiao went through so much trouble just to buy Ye Caiping's jade?
Is that piece of jade a good thing?
The villagers all looked at Ye Caiping's neck at the same time, and there was indeed a jade plaque hanging on it.
Many people have seen Ye Caiping's jade. She has been wearing it since she was a child. It is not a rare item.
The quality of jade is only slightly better than stone. If you pick up a piece from the river and polish it, it might be better than stone.
Li Jiaojiao actually said she wanted to buy something like this?
Li Jiaojiao also noticed the inquiring gazes around her and immediately explained, "The reason why I like that jade... is because it looks very much like the one I had when I was a child."
"When I was a child, I also had an identical piece of jade, which was given to me by my biological father. He has been dead for many years... I want to buy this jade as a thought."
As he said this, he looked at Ye Caiping expectantly.
So that's how it was, the villagers didn't think much about it.
"How about fifty cents?" Li Jiaojiao asked.
"Bullshit, do we need these fifty cents?" Ye Daquan said angrily.
"Aunt, please name a price! One hundred coins, two hundred coins are fine!" Li Jiaojiao said anxiously, "This piece of jade is not valuable, but for me, it is a thought."
Ye Daquan said: "It is a thought for you, and it is also a thought for my little sister. She has worn it since she was a child, and she has feelings for it, so how can I sell it to you!"
Old Lady Ye frowned and said, "This is the peace jade given to her by the fortune teller. How can she leave it? Forget it."
Li Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Caiping: "Auntie..."
"I can sell it to you." Ye Caiping's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up, "But you are too insincere. You want to get rid of a beggar with one or two hundred coins? I won't sell it to you for less than two hundred taels!"
"What?" Not only Li Jiaojiao, but even Ye Daquan and others gasped.
Li Zimo cursed: "Aunt Ye...isn't that too much! Two hundred taels? We farmers can't save up this much money in our lifetime!"
"Besides, I don't know how many gold hairpins and fine jades I could buy with this money. Is your broken... ordinary jade worth it?"
Ye Caiping said calmly: "If you think it's not worth it, then don't buy it. I think it's worth it anyway. Besides, other people can't earn two hundred taels in their entire lives, but you are so capable, haven't you earned it a long time ago?"
The villagers looked at the two of them. Yes, the Li brothers and sisters had dug up ginseng! Who doesn’t know that she sold it for two hundred taels!
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale and blue, this was because he had calculated the money in her pocket.
"Jiaojiao, ignore her! Ugh..." Li Zhiyuan vomited as he spoke.
"Jiaojiao, let's go!" Li Zimo said anxiously.
Those two hundred taels were almost all their property!
How can a broken jade be worth anything? Isn't this just a complete scam?
Li Jiaojiao stared at Ye Caiping's jade, that inexplicable attraction...
No, it's not wrong, this is her second chance and luck!
As long as she gets it, she won't have to worry about money anymore!
This feeling was very strange, but it kept lingering in her mind, constantly urging her to buy the jade!
Li Jiaojiao struggled for a while, and when she looked up again, her eyes became extremely firm: "Okay, two hundred taels, I'll buy it!"
"Jiaojiao, you're crazy!" Li Zimo screamed.
Li Zhiyuan didn't care about vomiting anymore, he looked at her: "Jiao..."
"Dad, brother, believe me!"
Li Zimo was stunned when he saw her determined expression, and recalled the decisions Li Jiaojiao had made during this period.
Yes, as long as it is my sister who makes the decision, she must have her reasons and it cannot be wrong!
You shouldn't stop it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Zhiyuan felt it was not worth it. The broken jade should have been given to him without spending a penny. Why...
But since he had caused such an embarrassing incident, no one dared to say anything more.
After making up her mind, Li Jiaojiao took out two silver bills from her bosom: "Aunt, let's exchange the money for the goods!"
"Okay!" I fell into the trap!
"Little sister, please don't. I always feel it's weird." Ye Daquan said suspiciously, "Something that can be picked up by the river is actually sold for 200 taels. How can it be such a good thing? I know there is something fishy."
"Daquan is right. Besides, this is a peace jade, it is for protection and cannot be sold." Old Mrs. Ye also stopped him.
"Why can't I sell it? It's just a piece of jade. I'm fine without it." Ye Caiping lowered her voice:
"That's two hundred taels! I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that she would agree. These idiots are almost extinct, we have to cherish them."
"A piece of broken jade is exchanged for 200 taels. I've made a fortune."
Her voice was not very low, and Li Jiaojiao could hear it clearly.
Look at Ye's greedy face, haha...
