Following the direction his wife was pointing, Li Chu was stunned when he saw the item.
He quickly moved closer to the counter and examined it carefully.
Looking through the glass on the counter, this should be the thing I saw a few days ago.
Hetian mutton fat white jade.
The three Zheng siblings from Dongshan planned to give themselves something.
But why is this thing in the Trust Shop?
Looking up at the salesperson sitting to the side, cracking sunflower seeds, Li Chu called out, "Comrade, could you please take this out so I can have a look?"
The salesperson casually tossed the sunflower seeds he was holding onto the table, clapped his hands, and then slowly stood up and walked over.
He glanced at what Li Chu was pointing to: "This thing is expensive. Are you sure you want it? If you do, I'll get it for you. If you're not sure, just look at it like this."
"Uh..." These sales clerks these days can really shut you up.
Li Chu turned to look at his wife. Ding Qiunan knew what he meant when she saw him looking at her, and quickly shook her head to indicate that she didn't want to.
Seeing his wife shake her head, he didn't say anything more, but just leaned over the counter to take a closer look.
"Comrade, are all the things you sell here guaranteed to be genuine?"
"Of course, this piece of jade was only acquired the day before yesterday, and a master craftsman examined it carefully at the time."
After listening to the salesperson, Li Chu nodded and then pulled Ding Qiunan away.
The salesperson went back to the table where he had been sitting, picked up the sunflower seeds he had thrown on the table, and started eating them again.
Li Chu pulled Ding Qiunan and walked straight out of the trust store.
This store isn't big; at least it doesn't sell those kinds of furniture.
Once they reached the roadside, Ding Qiunan finally spoke up and asked, "Did you see clearly? That looks like the piece the Zheng brothers took out."

"It's not just a guess, it's a fact. Didn't the sales clerk just say that it was received a couple of days ago?"
Besides, such large, uncarved pieces of mutton-fat jade are rare; it's quite a coincidence that we stumbled upon two.
"But why would they sell it? It looks nice displayed at home."
Li Chu pondered for a while, but still couldn't quite figure it out.
Judging from the way they looked when they took it out that day, they didn't seem to be unaware of the price.
"Who knows what they're thinking? Let them be. Maybe they urgently need money at home."
The two of them started strolling along the roadside again.
"Wife, do you want that piece of jade?"
"I don't want it. No matter how pretty it is, it's still just a stone."
...
What could Li Chu say? Right now, many people have no idea how much the price will rise in the future.
However, Ding Qiunan's words did give him a wake-up call.
She just said she disliked it because it was a stone, but if it were gold, she would definitely take it.
I glanced at my wife's bare little hands. Should I get her some gold jewelry? There are so many gold bars in the warehouse anyway.
Okay, it's decided then. I'll go out by myself tomorrow and get a few sets of jewelry made.
Although there is a set of jewelry at home, which my sister handed over to my parents years ago, it has been a long time since then, and I would have to clean it again if I wanted to wear it. Moreover, the main significance of that set of jewelry lies in its inheritance.
This time, we'll be making several sets of jewelry.
There are gifts for my own wife, my daughter-in-law, Wenhui, and three sets for my sister's side, plus gifts for my father-in-law's family.
If you calculate it that way, one might not even be enough.
She kept thinking about making jewelry while chatting casually with Ding Qiunan. The two of them wandered around outside until almost five o'clock, and it was already getting dark before they returned to the hospital.
I learned a lot from my trip outside today. I can no longer think of myself as a savior. I'm just an ordinary person. I should stop thinking about saving the world and just live my own life.
After returning to the office, I changed my clothes, then drank tea, read the newspaper, and passed the time.
After getting off work, Xiao Tian had just turned into the alley when Li Chu saw He Yuzhu standing there.
Ding Qiunan saw it too. She tugged at her husband's arm and pointed outside the car: "Li Chu, why did He Yuzhu run over here?"
"Who knows? Never mind, let's go down and take a look. You go back and cook for us first; Yueyue must be starving."
He Yuzhu noticed the car as soon as it arrived. Seeing the couple get out of the car, he hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the alley, but still walked over.
He greeted Ding Qiunan first, but she ignored him and left without a word. Fortunately, Li Chu was still there.
He completely understands that people are ignoring him, since it was his wife who falsely accused the other woman's husband's older sister, and she hasn't apologized to them yet. It's only because she has a good temper; if it were someone else, he would definitely have gotten a beating.
He Yuzhu walked up to Li Chu, who was standing there, bowed first, and then began to apologize.
Their attitude seemed quite good; they weren't just giving me a perfunctory response.
Li Chu's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at He Yuzhu, who had become so haggard in just six months. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Li Chu's indifferent expression, He Yuzhu rubbed his hands awkwardly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Li, could you please take a look at me? I've been married for half a year, why don't I have a child yet?"
No children?
Li Chu really didn't want to deal with him. This guy was the kind of person who only cared about what people needed and ignored them when they didn't. Who would want to deal with someone like that?
However, seeing He Yuzhu's pitiful appearance, he felt a little soft-hearted, especially considering that this man would have no descendants in the future. He hesitated for a moment, but still decided to speak up.
"Not having children is not your problem."
"Huh? Brother Li, you haven't even checked yet, how do you know it's not my problem?"
He Yuzhu thought Li Chu didn't want to show him and was just saying it casually.
"No need to look, I'm pretty sure it's not your problem that you two don't have children, because she has an IUD, how could she possibly be pregnant?"
!!
Li Chu's words caused He Yuzhu's eyes to burst with tears.
"Brother Li... how... how did you know?"
"She had her IUD inserted at the People's Hospital. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask her. If she doesn't admit it, you can take her to the hospital for a checkup, and then you'll know everything."
Seeing Li Chu's genuine expression, He Yuzhu finally believed it.
A simple inspection would provide the answer; there's no reason for them to lie to themselves.
"Then why did she lie to me and say she was willing to have my child?"
"Tch, if you didn't say it that way, why would you be willing to raise her child, and why would you tie yourself to her side?"
He Yuzhu felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he felt dizzy and disoriented.
She didn't even know how she got there, or whether she said goodbye to Li Chu when she left.
He walked home like a walking corpse.
