Chapter 266 Life after Leaving
"Sister Fang, please help me lift it. My hands hurt and I have no strength left."
The two stood at the door and pushed each other. Finally, the homeowner heard Shen Zhichu cry out in pain and took the fruit reluctantly.
She invited Shen Zhichu to come in and sit down, then poured a glass of lemon honey water and placed it on the coffee table.
"How have you been feeling these past two days? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I just don't have much appetite and feel like vomiting, but otherwise I'm fine."
"This reaction is normal, but if you're really feeling uncomfortable, go to the hospital. When I was pregnant with my son, I also had no appetite. My husband spent the whole day trying to find food for me and took me out for walks, which made me feel better. By the way, when I lose my appetite, I like to eat sour food, like lemon slices. Look at you, why don't you try this?"
When Shen Zhichu heard the landlord's words, she felt touched and envious. She envied her for having a good husband who took care of her and her child, and she felt sorry for her because her pregnancy reaction was wearing her out trying to find a solution.
Shen Zhichu picked up the lemonade in front of her. It was sour and sweet and delicious. She nodded and said, "It's delicious."
"As long as it tastes good, that's fine. I also liked drinking this when I was pregnant. But don't drink too much, it's high in sugar. I'll fill a bottle for you later and you can take it home and mix it with water as afternoon tea."
Shen Zhichu did not refuse the landlord's kindness and nodded in agreement.
The host was very hospitable and was washing fruits. There were a lot of fruits in this season, including peaches, bayberries, grapes, and cherries. She washed a large plate and placed it in front of Shen Zhichu. Looking at her slightly haggard face, she told her to eat more with heartache.
She had many questions about Shen Zhichu. Why had she come to this unfamiliar place alone, pregnant? How did she get those nailless hands? Who was the father of the child, and why did he leave her alone?
Everyone has curiosity. Although the homeowner was confused, she never asked too many questions. Firstly, she had a distant relationship with Shen Zhichu, and secondly, it was her private matter, and out of respect she shouldn't ask too many questions.
But thinking that she was alone, she took good care of her, hoping that she could integrate into the place quickly.
"What do you want to ask me?"
"I want to ask if there is any place that sells jewelry here."
"There's none in the town, but there should be in the county town. However, if you want to sell jewelry and get a good price, it's better to go to the city."
Shen Zhichu didn't dare to go to the city. Li Jingshen was looking for her at the moment. The search area in the city was wide, and Li Jingshen might be waiting for her there.
"The city is too far away. I want to ask in the county, or if you know any buyers who want to buy jewelry."
The homeowner thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If it's convenient for you, can you show it to me?"
Shen Zhichu opened the bag and took out an exquisite box. The owner knew the jewelry inside was worth a lot of money. Sure enough...
As Shen Zhichu opened the box, her eyes widened instantly. She had never seen such a beautiful necklace in her thirty years of life. The combination of jade and diamonds did not feel out of place at all.
"Isn't this so beautiful?" the homeowner exclaimed. She subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but she held back.
"What's your price range?"
Shen Zhichu shook his head: "Of course the price is the higher the better. This necklace was worth 3.5 million when I bought it. If I can sell it for one million, it will be great."
"Three and a half million?!" Although she knew it was expensive, she didn't expect it to be so expensive!
Three and a half million, this is wearing a street in their township around their neck, the homeowner couldn't help but smack his lips, and suddenly wanted to stay away from Shen Zhichu, for fear that he would accidentally touch the jewelry box and knock it over.
"I'm afraid our county town can't give you the price you want, after all..." The homeowner didn't finish his words.
Shen Zhichu also knew this, so she kept thinking the price would drop, even if it went down to 500,000.
In fact, it is best to find a black market dealer to sell it to. The black market dealer will have various channels and finally resell it at an auction. At that time, let alone 3.5 million, there will be someone who will buy it for 5 million.
The jewelry Li Jingshen gave her were all custom-made and limited edition. Not only would the price not drop, but the longer they were kept, the higher the price would be. They were worth collecting.
"I see."
Seeing her disappointed expression, the landlord patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't be discouraged. I'll ask for you on WeChat later."
"Will it be too much trouble for you?"
"No trouble, no trouble. I'll take a picture and ask for you later."
Shen Zhichu was also planning to go to the county town to inquire about the price. Sister Fang knew a lot of people, but there was definitely no one who could afford to buy her jewelry, so Shen Zhichu didn't hold out much hope.
The homeowner took out her cell phone and carefully took a few photos. Beautiful jewelry is so unique that it looks good no matter how you look at it. If she had money, she would definitely buy it.
"Don't show off your wealth. Keep this necklace safe and don't show it to others."
"I understand." One must always be on guard against others.
Seeing that she really understood, the homeowner didn't say any more reminders.
"Zhi Chu, I've always been curious about you. Your identity, and why do you have such a valuable thing on you?"
Shen Zhichu seemed to have something to hide, and after a long pause, he said, "Sister Fang, something happened at home, but don't worry, I didn't break the law, and these are all mine."
The homeowner had never doubted Shen Zhichu's character. After all, after two months of getting along with each other, she knew the other's temperament and personality very well, and she made up a story of "a daughter in distress" in her mind.
"Don't think too much. I don't doubt you. I just want to tell you that if you have any difficulties, just tell me. You came to this place alone, pregnant, and have no relatives. You might as well treat me as your sister."
"Sister Fang, aren't you my sister?" Shen Zhichu replied with a faint smile.
"Yes, I'm very happy to have such a beautiful sister like you."
………………. .
Shen Zhichu saw that it was almost time and was going to go to town to buy some vegetables.
The landlord walked her to the door, turned around, took out his mobile phone and flipped through the photos, then edited a WeChat message and sent the photos to his social media feed.
"——If you are interested, please contact me privately for the price."
This necklace looks so beautiful in the photos that as soon as I posted it, people started asking about the price and the material.
“It’s so beautiful, is that a real diamond?”
"How much?"
“Could it be a filter?”
"It looks expensive at first glance. A girl from the slums doesn't deserve it."
………
There were many comments on her posts, but very few private messages. Only one or two people had the courage to ask her how much money she paid throughout the day.
When the homeowner announced the price of 3.5 million, everyone was discouraged.
……….
Shen Zhichu went to town to buy some vegetables and brought them home. He made some sweet and sour pork ribs and a vegetable soup.
After lunch, she packed her bag, put the necklace in the compartment and decided to go to the county to ask the price tomorrow.
