Chapter 240 Bought the Jade from Li Qiang

Xia Juanjuan became cautious when she heard Zhou Qiuhe say that Li Qiang was going to Beijing.

When she saw Li Qiang went to the county town, she first went to Beijing through space to find Dahei.

Following Dahei, Xia Juanjuan staked out at the train station. After recognizing Li Qiang's face, she stopped showing up and asked Dahei to help her see what Li Qiang was going to do in Beijing.

He had the connection with Luocheng, and also, half of the twenty ginsengs were sold to Jingshi last time, so Dahei also made a lot of money. Therefore, he naturally had no choice but to fulfill Xia Juanjuan's request.

Dahei asked someone to follow Liqiang around for a long time.

This was Li Qiang's first time in Jing City, and he was so stupid that he secretly asked everyone he met where the black market in Jing City was.

Decent people just treated him as a country bumpkin and ignored him, but there were also people with bad intentions who thought he might have something good in him and targeted him.

Fortunately, Dahei was not sure about the relationship between Xia Juanjuan and this person, so he asked his people to protect Li Qiang. As a result, Li Qiang wandered around for a long time without any loss.

After wandering around until noon, Li Qiang still hadn't found the black market, so he found a corner, took out a big biscuit he brought from home from his bag and started eating it.

The brothers who were following him were also very hungry, so they came to complain to Dahei.

Dahei had no other choice but to find a brother to go and tell Liqiang where the black market was.

When Li Qiang heard this, he stopped eating the cake, quickly put it into his bag, and followed the man.

Dahei was speechless. If they met someone with bad intentions, not only would they lose their things, but they would also lose their lives!

Li Qiang entered the black market and looked around for a long time like a fool. Finally, he found a corner, opened his bag carelessly, and took out the jade pendant.

The jade pendant was a really fine item, with rich water color and exquisite carving. It was obvious that it had come from the palace or the home of an elite official and then became part of the common people.

There are many people in Beijing who know a lot about goods, so soon a group of people gathered around.

Li Qiang was in high spirits. When people asked him the price, he immediately named it as two hundred yuan.

This item may not be worth two hundred dollars, but who wants to be cheated? He must be trying to get a bargain.

A group of people shook their heads and said that the texture of this jade was just average, and the dragon pattern carved on it was so strong that it was impossible for an ordinary person to hold it, and holding it might even bring disaster!

Two hundred bucks? Not worth it!

One hundred yuan? That's a lot!

Brother, I see it’s not easy for you to come into the city. It’s only ten dollars. Let me tell you whether you can sell it or not!

When Li Qiang heard this, his face immediately fell.

He didn't know the value of things, and he thought that such a big piece of jade! Moreover, the jade pendants mentioned in the opera were all worth a fortune, right? How come it was not worth 200 yuan, but only worth 10 yuan?

His round trip ticket to Beijing costs more than five yuan! If this ticket costs ten yuan, how can he move to the county town?

Seeing that he refused, the people around him said, "Let's put it this way. Fifteen dollars! One more cent and you still can't take it!"

Dahei asked his brothers to keep an eye on this place, while Xia Juanjuan was sitting and waiting in a nearby teahouse, so the news from there was transmitted in a timely manner.

Dahei described the appearance of the jade to Xia Juanjuan and asked someone who was good at drawing to draw a simple picture.

Xia Juanjuan looked at the picture and her heart moved.

This jade...why does it look so similar to the phoenix pendant that Shen Wanxue gave her last year?

The messenger came over and said, "The price has been raised to twenty. I think the farmer can't hold on any longer and wants to sell it."

Xia Juanjuan pondered for a moment, then took out fifty yuan and said, "Dahei, help me buy that piece of jade."

Dahei was also shocked when he saw the five big group pictures: "Sister! You are being taken advantage of! The jade is a good thing. Those who are bargaining below, twenty is a reasonable price, twenty-five is the top price. You directly offer fifty to buy it, and if you want to resell it, you will have to bear the risk and will not make much money. It's all in vain!"

Xia Juanjuan glanced at Dahei and said with a smile, "Even though you bought it for fifty? You pay thirty, and there's twenty left. You've been busy all day, so when the time comes, divide it up and give everyone a drink tonight."

Hearing this, Dahei was stunned for a moment, then he raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Why don't the brothers like to follow you, sister Juan'er, you are open-minded! Okay! Sister, you just wait, the price is thirty, none of those people below can afford it!"

After a while, the brother who went downstairs to do the work came up with the things.

Xia Juanjuan opened the wrapping cloth and took a look. The jade pendant was intricately carved with a dragon flying in the clouds. Wasn't it a pair with the jade that Shen Wanxue gave her?

But... how did this dragon pendant end up in Li Qiang's hands... No, Li Qiang couldn't possibly have this thing, otherwise he would have sold it long ago! Li Qiang must have gotten it from Liu Lan recently!

How did Liu Lan get this?

Shen Wanxue had said that the dragon and the phoenix were a perfect match, and that she had given the dragon pendant to her son who was in foster care at a farmer's home as a keepsake so that they could meet again in the future.

Could it be that... one of the sons of the Li family is Shen Wanxue’s son?

Judging from their age, they are either very good at fighting or very outstanding.

Xia Juanjuan remembered that Shen Wanxue had specifically asked about Lizhan's birthday, but after asking, she felt sad for a moment, as it seemed that the answer didn't match.

However, the birthday that Lizhan mentioned that day was not his actual birthday. Could it be that he just went off topic like this?

But...if it was really a fierce battle, then why didn't Shen Wanxue recognize Liu Lan when she saw her?

When she placed her child in foster care, there was no way she didn't remember what the housewife of the foster family looked like, right?

Otherwise, how can you get it back in the future?

But...looking at the way Liu Lan treats Li Zhan, she really doesn't act like a real mother. All she does all day is ask for money and doesn't care about Li Zhan at all.

In the past, Xia Juanjuan only thought that Liu Lan was born selfish and biased, only thinking about herself, and even exploiting her own son.

Now that I think about it, if Lizhan is not her biological son, then doesn't her selfish and biased attitude make sense?

Seeing Xia Juanjuan lost in thought, Dahei waved his hand in front of her eyes and called tentatively, "Sister? Are you okay?"

He knew that some old objects were somewhat mysterious, and whoever touched them might have their soul sucked away...

Xia Juanjuan came back to her senses and asked blankly, "Huh?"

Dahei smiled and said, "No, sister, it's just a piece of jade. Why are you so engrossed in it?"
