After eating the last bit of millet, Yang Taotao was left with no money.
Sun Hui looked at Yang Taotao, whose stomach was growling with hunger, and asked her to go out and see if there were any policemen or anything. If not, she could go out for a while.
"do what?"
“Sell this watch.” Sun Hui took off the watch. Although he was reluctant to part with it, he had to eat and drink. Seeing that there was no coal left, he couldn’t let himself be frozen or starved to death in Beijing. It would be so embarrassing!
"Such a beautiful watch was sold?" Yang Taotao knew that watches were very valuable. She had seen Xu Linjun's watch before and it was very valuable. He casually said it was worth several thousand yuan.
It's US dollars.
US dollars are valuable!
"Buy it when you have money later. I can't let you go hungry with me. I'll buy you two nice pieces of clothes." Sun Hui tidied himself up, but his arm still hurt.
The wound didn't heal well and he needed treatment.
The medicine Yang Taotao used was not enough, and pus started to form inside the wound. Sun Hui knew that if it was not handled properly, he might end up with a crippled hand.
The two sneaked out and went to the entrance of the Friendship Store. They caught a man who looked well-dressed and said, "This is a Philippe watch. It's one thousand dollars a piece. If you like it, take it."
When some people heard the name of Philippe, they took a look out of curiosity and found it to be really good.
When asked, they just shook their heads and said no.
Sun Hui asked several more people, and they all said it was too expensive. He started from one thousand to three thousand, but still no one wanted it. After all, in this era, everyone was poor.
The 30-year-old Seagull and Petrel watches are also good.
A three thousand dollar watch could be used to buy many big items, but they were reluctant to part with it.
I really want to buy it, but I'm afraid it's fake.
Xu Linjun was just stopped by Sun Hui. Yang Taotao recognized Xu Linjun and was so scared that she dared not show up. She hid behind a tree and covered her face with a scarf.
"No, thank you!" Xu Linjun refused.
He came to buy milk powder for Mother Xu. The old lady had finished her milk powder. This was the only place that sold adult milk powder, and it was all imported.
"It's a real Philippe. I spent more than ten thousand US dollars to buy it." Sun Hui could tell that the person in front of him would definitely appreciate his watch.
Xu Linjun took a casual glance and found that it was indeed a Philippe watch. He had seen it before and it was indeed not cheap.
I didn't expect that such a valuable watch would be sold.
Xu Linjun looked at Sun Hui, and Sun Hui smiled and said, "My family has fallen on hard times, and I need money urgently. If you like it, take it. It's only a few thousand yuan, very cheap. Just consider it a good deed."
Hearing the name "詙千", all of Xu Linjun's gentleness was destroyed.
Besides, he had two watches. Even if they were cheap, they had been worn by others after all. Xu Linjun still minded a little and shook his head.
Sun Hui wanted to talk about the price, but Yang Taotao pulled him back: "Forget it, I can't afford it, why don't we go somewhere else?"
"If no one buys here, others will be unable to afford it." Sun Hui was angry. There was not even a pawnshop. At least there was a shop in Yuecheng that specialized in buying second-hand items.
Here, Sun Hui is a foreigner and doesn't know anything about the place.
In the afternoon, the two were cold and hungry. They happened to see Gu Jiayuan passing by. Yang Taotao narrowed her eyes and said to Sun Hui, "Let's try with him. He should have money."
Gu Jiayuan didn't expect to be stopped on the street and told that he wanted to sell him a famous foreign watch: "What watch? How much is it?"
Yang Taotao was still afraid of being recognized, so she kept hiding.
Why is today such an unlucky day? All of them are acquaintances.
Something terrible is happening!
Sun Hui took out his favorite watch and showed it to Gu Jiayuan: "It's a Philippe watch. I bought it abroad. I'm short of money now, so I'll sell it to you at a low price."
"How much is the cheapest one, three francs, or fifteen francs?" Gu Jiayuan really wanted to buy one, but unfortunately he hadn't found one he liked. Who knew that when this man took out this watch, Gu Jiayuan fell in love with it at first sight.
Sun Hui almost rolled his eyes: "My watch costs thousands, and I spent more than ten thousand when I bought it..."
"It's not cheap either." Gu Jiayuan pursed his lips, not quite willing to buy it.
Sun Hui explained: "I used US dollars."
Gu Jiayuan didn't care: "That's too expensive, I don't want it, you can find someone else!"
㩙千, who are you kidding!
This is not the way to spend money.
Gu Jiayuan had just earned a few thousand dollars following Yang Zhaozhao, but he couldn't just let this ruin his life, as that was his wife.
"How about four thousand?"
"don't want."
"Three thousand eight!" Sun Hui gritted his teeth.
Gu Jiayuan was a little tempted, but when he thought about how half of his savings was gone, he shook his head rationally.
Sun Hui could only continue to lower the price: "Three thousand taels, no less."
Yang Taotao said that this person was rich, and that others could take 3,000 yuan, but if she gave him 3,000 yuan, it would depend on whether he wanted it or not.
Gu Jiayuan paused, his eyes full of struggle.
Sun Hui thought there was a chance, and continued to praise his watch. Gu Jiayuan was flattered and finally couldn't help but said, "I'll buy it for 3,300 yuan."
Sun Hui almost laughed. He struggled for a few seconds and said with a look of reluctance: "Okay, three thousand and three is three thousand and three. I recognize you as my brother."
Gu Jiayuan nodded readily, gave him a cigarette, and went to a nearby bank to withdraw money. He didn't have 3,000 yuan on him, but he had 3,000 yuan.
He took out three thousand and gave it to Sun Hui along with his own three thousand yuan: "Is this watch real?"
"Don't worry, bro. I promise. If I wasn't in financial difficulty, I wouldn't be willing to sell it!" Sun Hui was really reluctant to do so. In order to survive, he had to give up his material possessions.
I will definitely buy another one when he gets back.
After taking 3,300 yuan, Sun Hui took Yang Taotao to the Friendship Department Store to buy things. They found that they were not cheap and they could not buy much with 3,300 yuan. Yang Taotao was reluctant to spend money: "Let's go to another supermarket, let's go to Huijia Supermarket to have a look."
"Hui Jiachao?" Sun Hui frowned.
Yang Taotao nodded: "I heard it's newly opened, the prices are comparable to the Friendship Store, many people go there to buy clothes, shoes and so on."
"I want a pair of snow boots." Yang Taotao saw someone wearing them and asked, only to find out that they belonged to Hui Jiachao, and she didn't have money to buy them.
At this moment, Sun Hui was very generous. He gave her several dollars to spend. He was much more generous than Xu Linjun, and she listened to him very much.
When looking for a man, I want to find someone like Sun Hui.
What's so good about Xu Linjun besides being handsome? He can't even afford a watch. Bah!
What's more important is that he didn't buy her tricks, which made Yang Taotao very unhappy. She felt that she was no match for Yang Zhaozhao. He smiled happily at Yang Zhaozhao!
"Okay, I'll buy you two pairs to alternate between." Sun Hui pinched her nose, and the two of them took a car to Huijia Supermarket to do some shopping.
Gu Jiayuan bought a second-hand watch and couldn't help showing it off to Yang Zhaozhao. He also bought a braised pork trotter and some side dishes and went to find Yang Zhaozhao and the others.
Knowing that a house was rented behind the supermarket, he went there too.
We had a couple hotpot in the evening. Gu Jiayuan came at the right time: "Oh, hotpot, it smells delicious. It looks like I came to the right place!"
Li Yiling added a seat for him. They drank wine, ate pig's trotters and mutton rolls, and were very happy. Gu Jiayuan even deliberately lifted his sleeves a few times.
Yang Zhaozhao frowned: "You're blocking my way and burning my belly."
Gu Jiayuan couldn't help it and showed his watch directly: "Don't you think my watch is very beautiful?"
Yang Zhaozhao had seen it a long time ago and just wanted to know when he was going to show it off. It was just a Patek Philippe watch, what was there to show off?
It’s not that Yang Zhaozhao can’t afford it.
"It's just okay. I spent thousands to buy it." Gu Jiayuan said in an exaggerated tone: "My wife lost half of it."
"Not a loss." Yang Zhaozhao said lightly.
Li Yiling glanced at it and thought, isn’t a few thousand a loss?
Xiao Cui was amazed: "Brother Gu is so generous!"
Gu Jiayuan raised his eyebrows proudly: "I can't help it, who made me like it!"
"That person told me it would cost more than 10,000..." His tone became even more arrogant: "US dollars."
Yang Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows: "I sold it to you for thousands of dollars. It must be stolen. Be careful, it might be dirty."
Gu Jiayuan was a little flustered: "It seems that the man doesn't look very genuine, and he speaks with an awkward accent, like someone from the south."
Yang Zhaozhao said to Gu Jiayuan in Cantonese: "Is it because I am not speaking clearly?"
"Yes, that's it." Gu Jiayuan was surprised: "You seem to have learned it."
Yang Zhaozhao was thinking: "Where did you meet him?"
"I bought a watch in front of the Friendship Store and left without paying much attention." Gu Jiayuan was a little nervous: "What happened?"
"I'm afraid he's the one who kidnapped Cui Nai. I heard he's still in Beijing. People in Hong Kong like this watch more, and he just happened to be from there."
Gu Jiayuan was furious: "You little bastard, I'll go get him back now."
