You should know that unless the jade bracelet is worn from childhood and never taken off, the bracelet will be much smaller than the wrist circumference when the girl grows up, and close to the wrist circumference. Otherwise, the bracelet is worn according to the diameter of the wrist circumference.
But even the bracelets he had worn since childhood were not as close to his wrist as the one Chen Qingshan had now. Chen Qingshan even suspected that this was not a jade bracelet, but a rubber band.
The old lady saw Chen Qingshan and Xiao Li whispering and became impatient. She grabbed Chen Qingshan's hand and put the bracelet on him. Her movements were so fast that no one could see how she did it.
Now she looked at the petrified Chen Qingshan and Xiao Li with a smug look on her face, her expression clearly saying:
"Hehe, what do you think? I said you can wear it, so you can wear it!"
Chen Qingshan was really stunned. Xiao Li's bad luck came true. He couldn't take it off after putting it on. It seemed that he would bleed heavily today_(:3ゝ∠)_
Chen Qingshan swallowed his saliva and asked with trembling lips:
"Auntie, how much is this bracelet? Can you give me a discount?"
The old lady was furious at her cowardly look, rolled her eyes, and snorted coldly:
"50 yuan and you're still bargaining? Poor bastard! Why would you travel if you don't have money?"
“50 yuan???”
Chen Qingshan's eyes almost popped out. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the bracelet on his wrist, then flicked it lightly with his fingernails. The sound was crisp and pleasant.
She was not mistaken, it was genuine jadeite, with top-notch quality, water content and color.
As the saying goes, gold has a price but jade is priceless. Although this bracelet cannot be sold for 1 million, people would still be scrambling to buy it if it is sold for 120,000 or 130,000 in a jade shop. How could it be so cheap?
"Auntie, didn't you just say you wanted 1 million?
To be honest, 1 million is too expensive, but the bracelet is of good quality, so I think 100,000 is still worth it.
Selling it for 50 would be a huge loss. Do you want to discuss it with your family before making a decision?"
Chen Qingshan was afraid that the old lady was too old and confused, and would just sell the bracelet for a few dozen dollars. If her children knew about it, they would inevitably blame her, so he kindly reminded her.
The old lady's expression softened a little after hearing what Chen Qingshan said, but her tone was still as cold as ever. She said:
"Don't think I'm old and confused, my bracelet has a different price for each person.
That idiot wanted to buy it just now, but I wouldn't sell it to him even if he offered 1 million! If you want to buy it, I'll sell it to you for 50, so pay up now!"
Seeing that Chen Qingshan was about to say something, Xiao Li quickly poked her:
"Sister Chen, stop nagging me. You can't get a bad deal on this for 50 yuan, and I'll buy it if you don't want it~"
Chen Qingshan had no choice but to take out 50 yuan and his business card from his bag, handed them to the old lady, and said:
"Auntie, here is 50 yuan, please keep it.
This is my business card. If you think I sold it too cheaply, you can call me and I will compensate you the difference.
But let's make it clear in advance, the maximum I'll offer is 100,000, and no more, so you can't ask for an exorbitant price."
The old lady took the money and business card handed to her by Chen Qingshan and put them in her pocket without even looking at them. Then she lowered her head and stared at the old bundle in front of her in a daze.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Qingshan stood up to leave. As soon as he stood up, he heard the old lady shout:
“Wait!”
Chen Qingshan turned around and saw the old lady sitting on the ground, her bones were all over her body, and she had a rotten and decayed aura that looked like she was about to die. Her clothes were old and torn. He felt sorry for her.
"Auntie, why don't you sell me this bracelet for 100,000? Let's go to the bank now!"
"...Other people try to bargain down the price when buying things, the cheaper the better, but why do you insist on paying more? Are you stupid?"
Chen Qingshan: …………_(:3ゝ∠)_It’s hard to be a good person!
The old lady stared at the bracelet on Chen Qingshan's wrist, her eyes showing a tender and tender look, vaguely revealing a bit of sadness and reluctance, and slowly said:
"This bracelet was left by my master. You...you must take good care of it and don't break it."
Chen Qingshan nodded quickly: "I will take good care of it, don't worry, Auntie!"
But I was thinking: Was it left by the owner?
Judging from the old man’s expression, he must be talking about her husband.
It turns out that in Taiwan, the custom is to call your husband "master"! So chauvinistic, isn't it?! (#‵′)凸
The old lady continued:
"You should heal more illnesses and save more lives, do more good deeds and accumulate merit, and don't disgrace the master's treasures.
But if someone bullies you, you don't have to tolerate it blindly. Since you wear this bracelet, you are the master's disciple. We have always been clear about our gratitude and resentment...
Oh... never mind, I think you have good character, you will understand one day in the future, just go ahead..."
After saying that, without even looking at Chen Qingshan, she reached out and picked up the bag containing the bracelet, folded it into a square piece, held it in her arms, and walked away tremblingly.
Chen Qingshan looked at the old lady's back and wondered:
How does this old man know that I can cure diseases and save lives?
Yes, I just gave her my business card, and the occupation written on it is "Doctor".
But she seemed to have put it away without even looking at it...
It seems that this bracelet is really the old man’s favorite, so he repeatedly asked me to take good care of it.
Well, if you like it so much, just keep it for yourself. Why sell it?
She doesn't look like she's after money, otherwise she would have sold it to Ma Baoku long ago. I don't understand~
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Li pulled Chen Qingshan towards the meeting place.
The two of them didn't know that at the corner of the alley, a thin, hunched figure had been watching them. When he disappeared, he lowered his head and muttered to himself into the bundle in his arms:
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
