Chapter 913 (Page 1/2)
What Song Jingjing didn't know was that at this moment, her husband's family was gathered together to discuss her affairs.
At this moment, she only felt the urgent need to urinate and urgently needed to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid that the seat would be occupied by someone else if she left.
She is now on the train to Guangzhou, and this time she bought a seat ticket.
Partly because the price of the sleeper ticket was prohibitive for her, and partly because she was carrying a large sum of money, sitting would keep her more alert.
After a night of rocking, she felt exhausted and as if all her strength had been drained away.
She began to regret and wondered why she didn't just be cruel and buy a sleeper ticket for the upper berth.
With this regretful feeling, Song Jingjing picked up her bag and hurried to the toilet.
After solving her personal problems, she decided to go to carriage No. 4 to find the conductor, hoping to get a sleeper ticket, even if it was the lower berth in the last corner.
She had just taken a few steps when she felt a force rushing towards her from the side, followed by a crisp sound.
It turned out that a woman accidentally bumped into her, and the jade bracelet she was wearing slipped off her wrist and fell to the ground.
The woman immediately grabbed Song Jingjing's wrist and screamed, demanding compensation: "Ah! You broke my precious jade bracelet, you have to pay!"
Song Jingjing was already feeling exhausted from a whole night's work, and the sudden pull almost made her lose her balance and fall.
Fortunately, the young woman behind her reached out to help her in time and held her steady. After Song Jingjing stood firmly, she turned back to thank the woman gratefully.
However, the middle-aged woman standing in front of her did not intend to let her go. She picked up the broken jade bracelet from the ground and shouted:
"You are not allowed to leave. You must compensate me with the jade bracelet. This is high-quality jadeite that my son brought back from Hong Kong City."
"Sister, I didn't hit you, you hit me, so you should pay me."
"You're talking nonsense! It was you who bumped into me and broke my bracelet. If you don't pay for it, I'll ask the conductor to arrest you."
At this moment, Song Jingjing felt helpless and helpless. If she had known this would happen, she should have returned to her seat immediately after using the toilet. Now, not only was she bumped into by someone, but she also had to compensate the person for the jade bracelet.
Before she left, her parents warned her to be extremely careful when she was out, and to beware of being cheated or abducted.
As soon as she got on the train, she became extremely alert, not daring to talk to anyone or eat the water and food handed to her by others.
Unexpectedly, despite being on guard, she still bumped into someone head-on.
Now that this fashionable middle-aged woman asked her to compensate for the bracelet, she really didn't know what to do.
She gripped the backpack strap tightly. Although there were not thousands of dollars in the bag, there were at least two or three hundred dollars.
She knew that if she lost money this time, the clothing store business would definitely go bankrupt.
"Do you know how much this bracelet of mine costs? My son bought it in Hong Kong for 6,800 yuan. You must compensate me, or I won't let you go."
The woman who claimed that her bracelet was broken by Song Jingjing had a voice full of dissatisfaction and anger.
Her eyes stabbed at Song Jingjing like a knife, as if she wanted to nail her to the pillar of shame.
Song Jingjing was confused. Even if she sold her, she wouldn't get 6,800 yuan. What should she do?
Her heartbeat quickened and she felt dizzy. She was just an ordinary housewife who lived frugally and had finally borrowed money to buy goods, but she had never expected to encounter such a thing on the train.
Song Jingjing was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she felt her palms sweating.
The little girl behind her suddenly said, "Don't worry, sister. I think this guy is trying to trick you."
Hearing these words, Song Jingjing felt like she had found a savior, and a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.
"I have that bracelet too. Look at the one I'm wearing. Isn't it better quality than hers? I bought this one in Myanmar for less than two thousand yuan. How come hers costs six thousand eight hundred yuan?"
The little girl raised her hand confidently, showing a bracelet that shone softly in the sunlight and looked very delicate.
Song Jingjing was relieved to see someone speaking up for her. She also felt that this woman was asking for too much and was deliberately trying to extort money from her.
She looked at the little girl with gratitude, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. In this unfamiliar environment, being able to get others' understanding and support was a great comfort to her.
"Let's ask the conductor to handle this matter. The conductor has the final say on who is responsible." Song Jingjing mustered up the courage and said to the woman.
She knew that she could not back down now and had to protect her rights.
The passengers in the carriage began to whisper, some looked at them with sympathy, while others waited for the arrival of the conductor, hoping that the matter could be resolved fairly.
The little girl bent down and picked up the two broken bracelets scattered on the ground. She carefully held them in her hands and examined them carefully. Then she looked up at the middle-aged woman opposite her and said calmly,

"Auntie, my uncle's family specializes in the jade business. I can tell at a glance that your bracelet isn't as good as the ones sold in my uncle's shop."
A trace of displeasure flashed across the middle-aged woman's face. She pushed the little girl hard and retorted emotionally,
"What do you know? This is a rare high-grade imperial green jadeite." Her voice was full of confidence and pride.
The little girl was not afraid at all. She shook her head gently and retorted, "How can your bracelet reach the level of imperial green? It's obviously not even the bright green. It's at most the spicy green." Her voice was soft but powerful.
The middle-aged woman's eyes flickered, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, and her voice couldn't help but weaken. "Little girl, you are talking nonsense. What is Layang Green? This is clearly Imperial Green. Do you know the value of the product?"
The girl didn't back down. She calmly pointed out, "You're trying to trick me, big sister? No way! You said Layang Green is Imperial Green, and your bracelet is only 600 yuan at most. Yet you're asking me for 6,800 yuan. You're blackmailing me."
The middle-aged woman's face suddenly turned ugly. She argued, "Who is blackmailing me? My son told me it was Imperial Green. How do I know it's Layang Green?"
"You just bumped into Big Sister, so you have to bear some responsibility. Even if Big Sister wants to compensate you, she can only give you half at most."
Song Jingjing, who was standing by, looked at this scene with a confused look on her face.
She knew nothing about these jade terms, such as imperial green and spicy sun green, she couldn't understand anything at all!
However, when she heard the little girl say that her bracelet was worth no more than six hundred yuan, Song Jingjing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She originally thought that she had accidentally damaged a priceless treasure, but now it seems that she only needs to pay two or three hundred yuan in compensation.
The little girl said that she didn't bump into the girl on purpose. The woman was just walking without paying attention and bumped into her, so she should bear the main responsibility.
A man sitting next to her in the aisle echoed, “The little girl is right, you guys bumped into each other, so you have to bear some responsibility.
The girl said your bracelet is worth six hundred yuan at most, so I think you should just ask her to compensate you with three or four hundred yuan."
Seeing someone else coming to help, Song Jingjing thought, there are many bad people outside, but there are also many kind-hearted people.
But she still felt that four hundred yuan was too much, so she would only pay one hundred yuan at most.
She was about to say something when the middle-aged woman said, "Who said my bracelet is only worth 600 yuan? I think it's worth at least 1,000 yuan. Anyway, I won't let her go unless she compensates me with 1,000 yuan."
At this time, the little girl stood up again and said, "Auntie, even if you find the police officer, others will only compensate you for half of the money for your bracelet."
"Even if you want to pay me half of the money, it will be 500 yuan. Pay it!" The woman stretched out her hand in front of Song Jingjing.
Song Jingjing shook her head. "I only have a hundred yuan in my bag. Where can I find five hundred yuan for you?"
The little girl's eyes turned, and she said: "Big sister, where do you live? How about I lend you a few hundred, and you can pay me back when the time comes!"
Song Jingjing was a little confused. Why was this girl so kind as to lend her a few hundred dollars? Was she planning to use the IOU to blackmail her family?
She shook her head. "I don't have any money. Even if I borrow money, I can't pay it back."
The middle-aged woman winked at the little girl, and the little girl immediately said, "Sister, how much money do you have now? If you don't compensate her, her son will come over and cause trouble later."
When Song Jingjing heard that her son was also coming to cause trouble, she immediately became anxious, "I only have 200 yuan in my bag, and the money for my return ticket is also in it."
The girl returned the broken bracelet to the woman and said, "Auntie, take this bracelet back and get it repaired. I only have 200 yuan on me, so I'll give you 200 yuan. Let's each take a step back."
The middle-aged woman stared at Song Jingjing. Song Jingjing didn't want to pay, but everyone around her was staring at her bag, including the man who had just spoken for her.
"Comrade, it's better to have less trouble than more when you're out. If you can solve the problem, solve it quickly. We're almost at the station. What if her son drags you down?"
Were they so brave to be dragged out of the car? Song Jingjing hesitated and took out two hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to the woman.
Song Jingjing felt extremely powerless. "I've given you all my money. Can I go back now?"
The middle-aged woman reluctantly accepted the two hundred yuan and said with a pout, "I'm so unlucky to have met you. You broke my expensive bracelet."
Song Jingjing angrily replied, "I'm so unlucky because I bumped into you. You were the one who bumped into me, and now you're asking me to pay for your broken bracelet. You're really going too far. I don't care, just give me my money back."
The middle-aged woman snorted coldly and turned to walk towards carriage number four. Song Jingjing originally wanted to go to carriage number four to ask the conductor for a new sleeper ticket, but ended up paying two hundred yuan. She now had no intention of buying a new ticket.
Forget it, I’d better go back to my seat and wait it out!
