Chapter 230 Being Targeted
Xia Juanjuan took a look at it and didn't make any comment. She asked first, "Sister, your item is big, so the price may not be cheap. Give me a price first so that I can have an idea."
The woman looked at her, opened her hands, gestured, and said, "This is the number."
This means one hundred.
To be honest, it is definitely worth a hundred dollars! The red sandalwood alone is worth it! In twenty years, it will be worth a thousand times more!
However, if you don't bargain, you may be easily taken advantage of in the future.
Xia Juanjuan glanced at the woman and said with a smile, "Sister, I can't afford this amount. You should ask someone else to take a look."
Having said that, he was about to leave without any reluctance.
When the woman heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Hey, don't be so anxious. I made an offer, and I didn't say you can't bargain. If you bargain, maybe I will agree."
After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan was also quite ruthless. She raised one hand, meaning fifty, and directly returned half of it.
The woman almost lost her temper: "Big sister, the price you are offering doesn't seem to be sincere. How about this, ninety-five, you can take it away, okay?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Big sister, there is only a difference of five dollars between ninety-five and one hundred. If I can come up with ninety-five, do I still need the five dollars?"
After bargaining for a long time, the price was finally settled at eighty, and someone was hired to help carry it to Xia Juanjuan's residence.
The woman's psychological price was seventy, which was considered satisfactory.
Xia Juanjuan was not vague and directly took out eighty yuan and gave it to the woman.
The woman's eyes widened.
My god, the money people carry in their pockets nowadays is only a few yuan or a few cents. I have never met anyone who goes out with a hundred or eighty yuan in his pocket!
The woman asked Xia Juanjuan to wait for a while, and then she went to find her husband to pull a cart over and help carry the couch to Xia Juanjuan.
Xia Juanjuan told the address and followed the car back to the rented house.
She was not afraid of the house being exposed. After all, she would buy more houses in the future and would definitely let people know about it.
As for the things I bought, when no one is there, they will definitely be put into the space, so there is no need to worry about attracting thieves.
After the couch was delivered, Xia Juanjuan thanked the man, and after he left, she put the couch into the room, locked the door, and went out to the nursing home.
She sent some food and eggs as she did last time. The food was for the nursing home, and the eggs were a snack for Grandma Luo.
When Grandma Luo saw Xia Juanjuan coming, she was obviously happy, although she didn't say it.
Xia Juanjuan took out the peaches and showed them to her, saying, "Aunt, these are fruits from the old peach tree in the yard. I thought you would like to eat some, so I picked some and brought them to you."
Grandma Luo's eyes were a little cloudy. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and kept saying, "Good! Good!"
Xia Juanjuan asked the nurse for an enamel cup and a spoon, cut the peach pulp into small pieces, crushed it with the spoon, and then gave it to Grandma Luo.
The peach juice was sweet and refreshing. Grandma Luo ate a lot of it and asked Xia Juanjuan, "Your three little ones are now more than eight months old, right? Are they strong and healthy? Are they obedient? Can they eat now?"
Xia Juanjuan answered them one by one, and then smiled and said, "Auntie, I will bring you a photo of them next time. It's not convenient now, but when it's convenient, I will bring them to see you."
After hearing this, Grandma Luo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then she looked a little flattered and surprised, and said, "Really...really? OK..."
At that time, she was actually just looking at Xia Juanjuan and thought that this lady was attractive, so she half sold and half gave away the house. She never expected that Xia Juanjuan would come to see her later.
She had plenty of money, but she was also lonely. Xia Juanjuan came to see her and brought her peaches from the old house, which were more precious than money!
After spending some time with the old lady, Xia Juanjuan went back home.
Two days later, I came to Beijing again.
This time, for some reason, as soon as she arrived at the black market, she felt as if she was being watched.
Xia Juanjuan remained calm and did not buy anything. She left the black market and walked back. Not long after, she was surrounded by several people who looked like thugs in an alley.
"Big sister, I heard that a few days ago, you paid 80 yuan to buy the old Cui family's broken bed? I just happen to have a blue and white porcelain vase left by my ancestors that I want to sell. I don't want much, it's worth at least 100 yuan. Big sister, do you think you can buy it?"
A man who looked like the boss said nonchalantly.
After hearing this, Xia Juanjuan understood. To put it nicely, this was "forced sale", and to put it bluntly, it was an attempt to rob directly.
When she went to the black market, she always put the stun gun in a cloth bag and carried it with her. Now she held it secretly in her hand and said with a smile, "What blue and white porcelain vase? If it's worth a hundred dollars, I can buy it."
The man was surprised to see that Xia Juanjuan was not afraid in the face of five or six big men, and nodded his chin towards one of his men.
The man immediately came out with a porcelain bottle.
Xia Juanjuan didn't even need to look closely to know that this must have just been baked, and it was crudely made. Even if it was sold for 50 cents, no one would buy it!
"If the elder sister says that this bottle is worth a hundred dollars, then everything is fine. We will send the elder sister back home respectfully. If she says that it is not worth it... then it will hurt our feelings..."
Xia Juanjuan had a cold smile on her lips, cold and charming, and said with a smile: "If I say it's not worth it, how can I hurt your feelings?"
The leader had never thought that a weak woman would dare to ask such a question, so he chuckled and said, "I see that the elder sister is so pretty, and we brothers are all single... hehe!"
