Chapter 028 Su Wan, were you the one who instigated Zhang Tao to divorce me?
Su Wan nodded, "Yes, grandma, what's the matter with you?"
The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Girl, I have gold for sale. If you want it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."
"How much per gram?"
Knowing that there are many good things to resell in this era, Su Wan also wanted to pick up a bargain, so he asked the old lady.
"Thirty yuan per gram. Mine are gold ingots, 200 grams each. If you want, we can trade right away."
Two hundred grams is six thousand yuan, which Su Wan thinks is really cheap.
She nodded, "Then how can I trust you?"
The old lady obviously had an idea. She said, "We can take the gold ingots to the gold shop to have them weighed. Then you can burn them to confirm that they are real. Then you can come out and pay me, and let your brother keep the gold and make jewelry."
"OK."
The three of them entered the gold shop together. The owner came out and said to them with a warm smile, "Would you like to buy some gold jewelry?"
"Boss, we're here to buy gold jewelry."
"Bringing gold to make jewelry yourself will cost labor. What kind of jewelry are you planning to make?"
"Three gold bracelets."
"The labor cost for a gold bracelet is 1.5 cents per gram for a bangles weighing over 30 grams, and 1.8 cents per gram for a bangles weighing less than 30 grams."
The boss mentioned a price. Su Wan thought about it and asked the boss to weigh it first.
The old lady placed the gold ingots on top, weighing a full two hundred grams.
Before Su Wan could speak, Su Jianguo spoke first, "Boss, please make us two 50-gram bottles and one 100-gram bottle."
"The labor cost is thirty dollars."
The boss started to melt the gold, and after melting the gold, he said, "This is old gold!"
The old lady smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's an old thing at home. I'll take it out and make gold bracelets for the children."
After confirming that it was pure gold, Su Wan asked Su Jianguo to watch it in the store while she left the gold shop.
She took out six stacks of 1,000 yuan from her bag and handed them to the old lady. "Grandma, is this how I give you the money?"
"There's a bank just up ahead. Come with me and deposit the six thousand dollars. Then we'll be even."
The old lady was smart and worried that Su Wan had other thoughts, so she took her to the bank across the street and tremblingly took out her passbook.
"Please, I'll deposit six thousand dollars."
Su Wan handed over all six thousand yuan.
To deposit money, one needs to enter a password, so Su Wan stood nearby with his back to the password and did not even look.
After depositing the money, the old lady put the passbook in her arms and called Su Wan, "Okay, let's go!"
Arriving at the bank, the old lady said to Su Wan with great satisfaction, "I saw that you two brothers and sisters looked so righteous that I was willing to do business with you. I was right in my choice of people."
"Grandma, the price of gold might go up in the future, why did you sell it?"
"My wife needs medicine and she's owed money for surgery. This stuff is something you can't bring with you when you're born, and it could cure her if I sell it."
The old lady said, "If you want to buy it again, you can come to me next time. I live at the end of that alley. My husband's surname is Zhao. If you can't find it, just ask. Everyone in the village knows me."
"Grandma Zhao, are you short of money?"
Su Wan looked at Grandma Zhao and saw that although she was old, she was still very smart, so she asked curiously.
Grandma Zhao nodded and said, "My old man is in poor health, and there are only two of us left at home. We can only sell some old things."
"Then I'd like to buy another gold ingot, but I don't have enough money now. Can I buy it tomorrow?"
Thirty-one grams of gold. Forgive Su Wan for not being able to hold back. She really wanted to buy another gold ingot and put it at home. Even if she just wanted to look at it, she thought it was pretty good.
"I'll be waiting here tomorrow morning."
"Then Grandma Zhao, you go ahead and do your work. I'll be on my way there first."
Su Wan said goodbye to Grandma Zhao before turning around and returning to the gold shop.
The boss was still beating the gold. It would take some time to make three gold bracelets with plain circles. Su Jianguo was watching over it, and Su Wan was sitting nearby waiting.
More than an hour and a half later, Su Wan got her gold bracelet.
A gold bracelet weighing one hundred grams may sound like a lot, but a solid plain ring bracelet is actually not that big.
Wearing it on her wrist, it makes her skin look even whiter.
"Our little sister is pretty and looks good in anything she wears."
"I think it looks good, too."
Su Wan took out thirty yuan and gave it to the boss, handed the other two to Su Jianguo to put away, and then they left the gold shop together.
On the way back, Su Wan told Su Jianguo that she was planning to buy another gold ingot.
Although Su Jianguo didn't understand why his younger sister wanted to buy another one, she wanted to buy it, so he didn't ask any questions. They bought a fish on the way and then took a car back to the military compound.
Outside the compound, she heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside.
The voice was very familiar, it came from Wang Mei.
She walked into the yard and saw Wang Mei sitting in the yard in thin clothes. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang was holding a belt in his hand and was being held by Deputy Regiment Commander Wu and Deputy Battalion Commander He. He looked at Wang Mei viciously, with cruelty in his eyes.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang is usually dull, and the way he grabbed his belt at this moment was creepy.
Su Wan didn't want to bother with what was happening here. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang speak, "Wang Mei, not only did you accuse me of having affairs outside, but you also beat my daughter at home. I'm telling you, I'm getting a divorce. A vicious woman like you should go back to wherever you belong."
"You're dreaming. I followed you when you were broke, and now that you've gotten promoted, you want to kick me out and bring back that little bitch from out there. I'm telling you, if you dare to find a woman, I'll make you uneasy in the army!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Okay, I'm quitting this position. I'm going back to the countryside to farm."
He was really angry and confused. He was 27 years old this year, and it was the result of almost ten years of hard work to get to this position. Only he knew how hard he worked.
Wang Mei doesn't want to divorce and keeps having all kinds of weird thoughts. He's really fed up with it.
He looks ordinary and is not a popular person, but everyone likes him and treats him as a great unity!
"Zhang Tao, stop saying those angry words!"
Deputy Captain Wu felt a little distressed when he saw his frustrated look.
Zhang Tao is not as good as Chen Yuan in spearmanship, and his boxing skills are also average. Although he lacks talent, all his achievements are the result of his hard work. Everyone can see how hard he has worked to get to where he is now. Now that he says he wants to go back to the countryside, everyone feels it is a pity.
Wang Mei's voice was shrill, and she was throwing a tantrum. "Zhang Tao, I take care of everything at home. I gave birth to twins for you. Even if I don't have any credit for running a family, I have worked hard. Now you want to divorce me for a woman and even threaten me. I won't live anymore..."
As she spoke, she bumped to the side.
The sisters-in-law hurriedly tried to stop her, but when they saw Su Wan, Wang Mei suddenly shouted, "Su Wan, is that you? Are you the one who instigated Zhang Tao to divorce me?"
