Buy it if you want. It won't break if you leave it. And if you ever need money in the future, you can use it as cash.
After two months of running their stall, the girls each earned a total of twenty-three taels. This time, when they went to the jewelry shop, they didn't dare to buy anything indiscriminately. They only took out three taels to buy silver hairpins, and they couldn't bear to spend any more than that.
"Tantan, we all bought things, why didn't you buy anything?" Xiaotao looked incredulous. Who was it that kept urging them to buy jewelry, managing to persuade them with their silver tongue?
Oh no, she didn't spend a single penny herself. What on earth is this guy doing?
Song Tantan remained calm. "Who said I didn't buy anything? I bought quite a lot, I just didn't buy anything today."

The next day, I took it to a pawnshop to ask. The pawnshop manager said that it could be pawned for 1,000 taels if it was a dead pawn and 600 taels if it was a live pawn. Pawnshops usually bargain very hard when it comes to pawning things, so the fact that it could be pawned for 1,000 taels shows how valuable the jade pendant was.
As a little money-grubber, how could Song Tantan refuse to accept this jade? She was even thinking about how to trick Ye Moxun into giving her the one he was wearing, so that both of them would be hers and she would really have made a profit.
hey-hey.
