Chapter 211 The Aunt Who Tried to Murder Her Niece

"My aunt gave it to me. I am a monkey and she brought it back from a trip. I thought the monkey was carved very beautifully, so I put it on the bookshelf. Is there something wrong with it?" Zhou Yuxin said calmly, she had already guessed it.

"It contains radiation, just like the cup you drink water from. Long-term exposure can cause cancer." Jiang Hanyan said truthfully.

Zhou Yuxin sneered, "She really put a lot of effort into it."

Ji Weibo and Tian Xinxin's faces turned pale with fright. They had only seen such things on TV and had never expected it to happen around them. How much must this aunt hate her niece.

"Is your aunt particularly good to your father?" Sheng Baojun suddenly asked.

"Yes, she and my dad have had a very good relationship since they were young, better than siblings. They are still very close now. She often gives my dad expensive gifts, but my dad won't accept them, except for books."

Her father would never accept branded belts or clothes. Later, her aunt gave him a book, which was exactly what her father liked and was not too expensive, so he accepted it.

Sheng Baojun frowned slightly. She had a guess, but she couldn't say it because it was too shocking.

"Ask your mother where this jade pillow and cup came from." Jiang Hanyan urged.

Zhou Yuxin nodded, took the cup and hugged the jade pillow to go find her mother.

"Mom, my classmate also wants to buy a cup and a pillow. Where did you buy them?"

"Your aunt gave it to me. She said it's good for your health. I don't need it, so I'm giving it to you. Wait a minute, I'll call your aunt to ask." Zhou's mother didn't doubt it and enthusiastically made the call.

Zhou Yuxin gritted her teeth, it was indeed her aunt.

"I'll talk to my aunt."

The call was connected. Zhou Yuxin took the phone and greeted as usual, "Aunt, you and Xiaoqi haven't come to my house to play for a long time. When are you coming over?"

"Xiao Qi was just talking about going to your house to play, so let's go to your house for dinner tonight."

"Okay, I'll ask my mom to prepare Xiaoqi's favorite dishes."

Zhou Yuxin smiled slightly and hung up the phone.

Zhou's mother asked in confusion, "Why don't you ask your aunt about the pillow and the cup?"

"I forgot. My aunt and Xiaoqi are coming over for dinner tonight. I'll ask them then."

"knew."

Zhou's mother immediately shifted her attention and prepared to go out to buy groceries, and asked Jiang Hanyan and the others to have lunch at home.

"Thank you, Auntie. We are going out to play in a while, so we won't eat anymore." Jiang Hanyan said politely.

"Then eat more fruits. Yuxin is so well taken care of by you. You have worked so hard!" Mother Zhou was sincerely grateful.

"Yuxin wasn't sick to begin with. She will get better." Jiang Hanyan said with a smile.

Mother Zhou's eyes turned red and she nodded. She really hoped her daughter could get better. Even if it cost her her life, she would be willing to do so.

After Zhou's mother left, Zhou Yuxin put the jade pillow, monkey ornaments, and cups into the storage room, said something to Zhou's father, and they went out.

Ji Weibo and Tian Xinxin both rode their bikes, picking up Sheng Baojun and Zhou Yuxin respectively. The five of them, in three bikes, drove towards Master Shou, the jade sculptor.

After riding for nearly an hour, I finally found it. Master Shou lived in a very narrow alley, but it had its own door and yard. The yard was full of flowers and plants, and there were several pots of orchids of very nice quality.

"Laoshou, someone is looking for you!"

There was an old lady washing clothes in the yard. She looked a little fierce, but she was a nice person. She wiped her hands, made tea for them, and was quite polite.

There were many jade carvings, as well as wood carvings, bamboo carvings, etc. in the living room, all of which were lifelike. Jiang Hanyan admired them with interest. She took a fancy to a jade carving of a longevity star. The quality of the jade was average, but the design was very exquisite. This craftsmanship could be worth a lot of money and would definitely appreciate in value in the future.

A middle-aged man wearing slippers, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face came out. There was eye boogers in the corners of his eyes and he looked sleepy. He looked like a down-and-out vagrant, which was out of place in the room full of elegant jade carvings.

"What's up?"

Shou Huangshi was a little impatient. It was obvious at first glance that these young girls were not serious buyers and were wasting his time.

"Master Shou, I was introduced to you by boss Yu Jingui. I called you and I want to buy your birthday jade carving. What's your price?"

Jiang Hanyan pointed at the birthday jade carving. She really liked it. It just so happened that there was 300,000 yuan in the card that Yu Jingui gave her yesterday, which should be more than enough.

"You like this? This jade won't do."

Shou Huangshi was a little surprised. This piece of jade was waste material. He didn't spend much money to get it. He spent several days to figure it out and carved it. Many old customers didn't like it because they thought the jade material was too poor and had no room for appreciation.

"The jade is a little inferior, but Master, your craftsmanship is quite valuable." Jiang Hanyan flattered.

Shou Huangshi suddenly perked up, his squinting eyes opened, he looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "You are a good girl, forget it, I won't make money from you, this material is not valuable, I carved it for three months, you can give me 60,000."

"Okay, I'll go get the money now."

When Jiang Hanyan came over, she saw an Industrial and Commercial Bank of China nearby.

Shou Huangshi was even more surprised. The girl was quite rich. His impression of Jiang Hanyan improved all of a sudden. She was rich and generous, had good taste, and was pretty. She was really likable.

Jiang Hanyan ran out to get the money, and Tian Xinxin and Ji Weibo accompanied her. It was 60,000 yuan.

"That thing costs 60,000 yuan. Will I lose money?" Tian Xinxin was very worried, afraid that Jiang Hanyan would be cheated.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"My goodness, if you add a little more to the 60,000 yuan, you can buy a small house. Hanyan, why don't you reconsider it?" Ji Wei Bo also disagreed. It was just a decoration. How could it be as good as a house?

"This ornament can appreciate in value, just as much as a house."

Jiang Hanyan explained with a smile that jade materials were becoming increasingly scarce, and good materials were even more expensive. Moreover, Shou Huangshi's craftsmanship was obviously at the master level. In another twenty years, the value of her jade carvings would at least increase twentyfold.

He withdrew the money from the bank and returned to Shou Huangshi, handing over the money and the goods.

"Master, I would like you to carve a small thing for me. I don't need to use very fine materials, just like this one."

Jiang Hanyan took out Zhou Yuxin’s jade Buddha, opened the mechanism and showed it to Shou Huangshi.

Shou Huangshi took the jade Buddha, sniffed it, frowned, looked at Zhou Yuxin, and understood what was going on.

"This jade Buddha is not a good thing, don't wear it."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I have suffered for many years and I want to give him a taste of his own medicine." Jiang Hanyan did not hide anything. Master Shou was an expert and she could not hide it from him.

"This thing is too troublesome to carve. I have a cloisonné bracelet, ready-made, for a hundred dollars."

Shou Huangshi went back to the house and took out a colorful cloisonné bracelet and demonstrated it to them. The bracelet was hollow and had a hidden buckle that could be opened and closed.

"That's it."

Zhou Yuxin took out a hundred yuan. Her cousin just happened to like this kind of jewelry with rich colors, which was better than the jade Buddha.

"This bracelet is so beautiful, Master, do you have more?" Jiang Hanyan became interested and she liked it too.

Shou Huangshi returned to the house in his slippers and took out a long string of colorful bracelets, all made of cloisonné, in red, green and blue. They were very beautiful and came in different styles.

"Buy more and get 20% off."

Then Sheng Baojun and Tian Xinxin each picked a few, Jiang Hanyan picked one of each color, and Shou Huangshi also found twenty for Zhou Yuxin.

"Master, call me if you find any nice jade carvings in the future."

When they left, Jiang Hanyan said something specifically, and Shou Huangshi nodded. As soon as they left, he took the 60,000 yuan, walked arrogantly to his wife, and threw it on the table.

"For lunch, I want to eat pig ears, pig intestines, pork elbows, and good wine."

Damn it, business is slow and I’m so bored.

"Give you another plate of peanuts!"

Mrs. Shou happily put away the 60,000 yuan. Her face, which had been a little fierce before, suddenly became amiable and her voice became even gentler. She went out excitedly to buy groceries to reward her husband well.
