Chapter 14 14. Jewelry
Now that she had seen these things, Shi Liu had no intention of letting them go, but she really didn't have much money on her. It seemed that she had to go out for a walk today, and maybe the check-in points would be reset again.
Seeing this, Mr. Mu felt that the little girl was unusual. "I plan to ask for 300 yuan for this box of jewelry, plus some fine grain and meat. Of course, it would be even better if she had a bright red cloth."
Shi Liu raised his eyebrows: "Comrade Xiaomu, are you planning to get married?" Most of the bright red cloths were now divided up by people getting married, and when it came to other people's turn, they were basically covered in army green, black, gray and the like.
Old Master Mu nodded and said, "The marriage was arranged when his mother was still alive. The girl hasn't said anything about breaking off the engagement over the years. I thought Hongxing was old enough, so I decided to just let them get married. Most of these things are for the wedding preparations."
Child marriage, I get it! Thinking of the fortune the old man had told her in her previous life, saying that she had a destined marriage, a loving couple, many children and good fortune, Shi Liu curled her lips in disdain. She seriously suspected that the old man had cheated on her. In her previous life, she never got married until her death, and she had only been in love once.
Thinking back to her terrible first love, Shi Liu felt she would never get married. Men were simply the epitome of trouble. The reason for their breakup was also incredibly bizarre. Zhou Pan came from the aristocratic Zhou family, while Shi Liu was the adopted daughter of a charlatan. Their social status was vastly different, and coupled with the Zhou family's tendency to despise the poor and favor the rich, this directly led to their breakup.
What's even worse is that several years later, when Shi Liu went to the company for an internship, she found out that her immediate boss was her first love, and that guy was pestering her again. Mrs. Zhou even came to her house and mocked her, which made Shi Liu exhausted. She resigned as soon as she got the internship report.
To be honest, she was with Zhou Pan simply because she was attracted by his beauty. Otherwise, with that guy's stubborn temper, how could she possibly fall in love with him?
"Comrade Shi Liu, my friend is here." Mu Hongxing's happy voice came from the door.
Shi Liu looked up and saw that the person he was talking to was a thin young man with a scar on his face. "Hello, comrade. I heard you have stamps?"
Mu Xi nodded and took out the stamp album from his backpack without saying a word: "This is the stamp collection of my grandfather. It can be said that there are stamps from the Republic of China period to three years ago. I want to exchange them for some money and food coupons." In fact, he also wanted some meat coupons, but the family didn't dare to eat meat in the current situation.
Shi Liu took the stamp album and flipped through it carefully, realizing that the other party hadn't lied. This stamp album would be worth at least hundreds of millions in the future. "Do you really want to sell this stamp album? Will Grandpa agree?"
"It was my grandfather who ordered us to sell it." Mu Xi thought about the situation at home and sighed helplessly. "You don't have to worry about us changing our minds. In fact, our family will leave Lin City soon."
Mu Hongxing added, "Muxi's grandfather used to be a veteran Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital. Unfortunately, he was sued two years ago and now has to shovel manure on the streets. Recently, Muxi's uncle got a promotion and used his connections to clear Mu's name. The family is planning to go and live with Uncle Mu."
Shi Liu immediately understood that it seemed like another company was being slandered: "I can give you 100 yuan, and in addition, 50 kilograms of Fuqiang flour." She gave a real price.
Mu Xi didn't expect the little girl to be so honest, and he felt a little guilty, but their family was really short of food, so he had to accept it shamelessly, thinking that he would help the little girl if he had the chance in the future.
After seeing Mu Hongxing off, Shi Liu rolled around happily on the bed. Today she had collected two stamp albums and a box of jewellery. It seemed that the old man's predictions were sometimes quite accurate. "Born to be rich and never lacking in wealth" was exactly what she was talking about.
The next day, when Shi Liu woke up, she looked radiant. She said hello to the landlady with a smile on her face and left.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Shi Liu took out a shepherd's purse bun from the space. She had put it there specially. Unfortunately, the system space was only 100 square meters, and the Arhat bed she had signed in to get took up a large area, so there was really not much available space left.
Looking at the exquisitely carved Luohan bed in the space, Shi Liu felt that it was very necessary for him to visit the scrap yard in the city.
As they walked, Shi Liu asked the system, "System, can your space be upgraded? It's too small. And look at the heroine's space. It either has a spiritual spring or can be used for planting. Why doesn't mine have anything?"
The kid who was monitoring the system accidentally saw Shi Liu's question and was so scared that he trembled. There was nothing he could do about it because she was Master Bai Tian's adopted daughter. It was different because she had a backer.
[Dear, of course the space can be upgraded. As long as you have enough merit, not only can you plant space, you can even have spiritual springs.]
Upon hearing this, Shi Liu frowned and said, "System, have you been penetrated?" Why does the tone sound so weird?
The little kid shuddered with fright and thought to himself: She is worthy of being the boss's adopted daughter, she is so perceptive!
Seeing that the system did not reply, Shi Liu began to look through the Yin Yang Pavilion and unexpectedly discovered that platinum paper was on sale. Thinking of ghosts such as Master Su and Prince Rui, Shi Liu simply bought the maximum limit of 10 copies, and then kept looking down, but did not find any special products.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Liu arrived at the city's scrap station. It must be said that the city's scrap station is bigger than the one in the county, and it is also very neatly arranged, with everything stored in different categories.
"Uncle, I want to buy some waste newspapers and textbooks."
"Go ahead, don't mess around with things you shouldn't touch."
"I see."
There are so many visionary people these days. No one is stupid, and everyone likes good things. Shi Liu didn't think she was lucky. She came here just to buy some books.
The originally precious books were piled up on the ground casually. Shi Liu couldn't help but shook her head, squatted down, and slowly picked out the well-preserved books. Anything she thought was useful, whether it was a medical book or a cookbook, etc., she carefully put aside.
After finally sorting out the pile of books around her, Shi Liu was about to stand up when her legs went numb and she almost fell to the ground. She looked at the wooden box that had been knocked over nearby and thought it was the perfect size for storing money, so she decided to take it with her.
The old man weighed it and said, "A total of two dollars and fifty cents." There are not many people who love reading so much these days.
Shi Liu quickly paid and left, then walked to the door of the scrap station and signed in.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Huanghuali wood Qiangong bed*1]
Shi Liu raised an eyebrow. The Qian Gong bed, like the Luohan bed she had obtained earlier, was made of huanghuali wood. With her discerning eyes, she could easily tell that they were both rare and valuable items. Looking at the remaining 6 check-in points in her account, Shi Liu originally wanted to go to the county town again, but then she remembered that there were two gold check-in points at the funeral shop, and that at least 10 check-in points would be required, so she decided not to go for the time being.
Thinking of the jade buns, Shi Liu turned and walked towards the grove outside the city. She wanted to dig some shepherd's purse and go back to make shepherd's purse buns to sell.
