After three whole hours, Ouyang Zhenyu felt his hands were numb and he was feeling unwell.
He went through so much trouble, he almost turned over all the stones in the iron bucket.
They couldn't offer anything of value.
Jun and his group, who were squatting by the door, saw this scene and sneered.
"See? This kid still wants to use this opportunity to turn things around."
They're just a bunch of poor bastards who actually think they can come here seeking protection from Master Huang.
They even went through the motions of searching for three hours, but that pile of broken stones had absolutely no chance of yielding jade.
"Brother Xiaoming, that kid is just pretending. If he could actually find jade, I'd eat that stone myself."
A group of people burst into laughter; they were waiting there.
They didn't cross the line, but Ouyang Zhenyu and his group were also trapped.
Especially Xiao Ming, who looked at Ouyang Zhenyu as if he wanted to devour him.
He was fixated on Ouyang Zhenyu, but didn't care about the others.
The young man next to him looked at Ouyang Zhenyu, who was standing next to the bucket with his hands on his hips, looking a little bewildered.
"Sir, how about you take a look at some other stones?"
Although they don't turn away customers.
But is this customer out of his mind?
I spent hours turning over stones here; these stones are so complex, you can find all sorts of interesting things in them.
Ouyang Zhenyu patted his pocket. There was nothing he could do; he only had so much money in his pocket. If he didn't buy this stone, he couldn't afford any of the other stones around it.
It's true that getting rich overnight isn't that easy.
The idea that you can easily find a top-quality jadeite just by touching it is something that only exists in novels and TV dramas.
In real life, experienced craftsmen would never casually reveal top-quality jadeite through the gaps between their fingers.
Ouyang Zhenyu was a little helpless, but even a hero can be brought down by a penny, and he was truly poor now.
When he arrived at Ouyang Zhenyu's side on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he could tell from the moment he arrived that Ouyang Zhenyu was just dawdling.
They're probably stalling for time, giving them an excuse to stay in the store.
But staying inside the shop was useless; they didn't see those guys watching them from outside the door.
And they were staring intently at them.
This matter is definitely not going to end well; the other party is determined to destroy them.
"Xiao Jiang, we appreciate your kindness, but there's really no need for you to do this for us."
"There's no point in dragging this out any longer; the shop will eventually have to close down, and we can't just stay there."
"Forget it, you have no grudge against them. Just sneak out the back door later, and we'll be fine."
I've already thought it through. I'm going to risk my life and kill one person to make it worthwhile.
"Slaughter two, make a profit on one."
"Make way, make way."
Just then, the men behind carried out a sack, and poured half a sack of stones directly into the bucket.
The guy next to him went up to help.
"These are the stones that Master Lin picked out again?"
"Yes, we received another batch of goods today, but there are relatively few of these today."
Most of them are top-quality; many bosses are watching them from behind.
"Master Liu must have made a fortune today. I heard he cut out a piece of apple-green jade that was this big. The customer could sell it for about 100,000 yuan."
"The boss has already accepted it, and he said he would give Master Liu a big red envelope."
"Not bad, looks like we have some good stuff today."
After the two men finished speaking, they walked towards the backyard, clearly having no intention of continuing to keep an eye on Ouyang Zhenyu.
Looking at the newly poured-out stones, Ouyang Zhenyu patiently squatted down and continued to turn them over one by one. There was no other way; poverty breeds desperation, and this was the only way he could try to make a comeback.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, seeing that Ouyang Zhenyu was ignoring her, she had no choice but to squat down and earnestly persuade him.
"Xiao Jiang, don't do this. While it's still early, slip out the back door. They won't notice you."
We're here to attract their attention.
Don't get yourself involved.
"Didn't you ever think about why that Jun guy was causing you trouble? Did you offend him? Or did someone else offend him?"
Ouyang Zhenyu didn't understand either. This Jun Ge came up with a deadly attack right away, and he was relentlessly pursuing him like a vicious dog.
"Oh dear! You don't know that his father used to be in charge, and his father favored his younger brother."
“The family business was originally meant to be handed over to his younger brother, but his father had already sent him out to run a business.”
"I'm closer to his younger brother, Xiaozhi, who is also very generous."
They usually give me a discount on prices because they think our village is relatively poor.
Unexpectedly, one time he bullied his younger brother, and I got angry and went straight up and beat him up.
I never imagined this kid would hold a grudge for so many years. That was five years ago. I wonder how he managed to get into this position.
"Where's Xiao Zhi?"
"I was trying to ask Jun-ge's men, but all of them looked unfamiliar."
None of Xiao Zhi's group could be seen.
Ouyang Zhenyu understood perfectly. As expected, this was a power transition where the victors were the ones who took the blame, and it was clear that the newly appointed Jun Ge was the kind of person who was petty and narrow-minded.
They completely disregarded business and wanted to give Chu Wu a thorough dressing down.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, although there were many able-bodied men in their village, their predicament was that they were too poor.
The poor have no advantage here, let alone when the other party is a local strongman.
"Xiao Jiang, you'd better leave quickly. If I could find Xiao Zhi, I might be able to settle this matter. But as you can see, they're determined to take our lives."
"Alright, if you have any free time, go and chat with the guy and ask him where Xiao Zhi went?"
This guy looks like a mad dog. He's the kind of person who has no bottom line and no morals. Besides, he's already considered to have no bottom line and no morals here.
Ouyang Zhenyu felt that the best way to solve Jun Ge's problem once and for all was to find Xiao Zhi.
Ouyang Zhenyu originally thought he could make a fortune by gambling on stones, and then bribe the local security officer so they could leave safely.
But now I realize that it might not be so easy to get rich quick with this stone.
We have no choice but to find another way.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, after hearing this, he thought it was a good idea and immediately ran over to befriend the guy next to him.
Ouyang Zhenyu continued turning over the stones and geese, but then he suddenly stopped.
I touched a stone in my hand.
The rock wasn't very big; to be precise, it was about the size of a fist.
Its grayish appearance makes it look no different from other stones.
But what was displayed on its panel caught Ouyang Zhenyu's eye.
He then casually picked up a stone from the side.
"Hey buddy, I want these two stones."
A fellow worker came over to look at the two stones in his hand. Although he didn't show any expression, he was unconvinced. Sure enough, he had gone to great lengths to pick out these two stones.
It's no wonder these two stones are unlikely to be sold.
"Boss, it's 2 or 5 yuan. Please come over here to pay."
Ouyang Zhenyu paid the money.
He tossed the two stones into the air and caught them back in his palm.
"Where are we going to cut the stones, buddy?"
"The backyard."
