After eating the last bit of millet, Yang Taotao was out of money.
Sun Hui looked at Yang Taotao, whose stomach was rumbling with hunger, and asked her to go out and see if there were any police or anything. If not, they 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 freeze to death or starve to death in Beijing. How embarrassing!
"Such a beautiful watch is sold?" Yang Taotao knew that watches were valuable. She had seen Xu Linjun's watch was valuable before. She heard him casually say that it seemed to be worth several thousand yuan.
Said it was US dollars.
US dollars are valuable!
"I'll buy you some when I have money. I can't let you go hungry with me. I'll buy you two more nice clothes." Sun Hui tidied himself up, but his arm still hurt.
The wound didn't heal well and he needed treatment.
Yang Taotao didn't use enough medicine, and pus started to form inside. Sun Hui knew that if he didn't handle it properly, he might end up losing his hand.
The two of them sneaked out and went to the entrance of the Friendship Store. They caught up with a well-dressed man and said, "This is a Philippe watch, five thousand yuan a piece. If you like it, take it."
When someone heard about the brand, they took a look out of curiosity and found it was indeed good.
When asked about five thousand, they shook their heads and left.
Sun Hui asked several more people, and they all said it was too expensive. He started with 5,000 and started with 3,000, but still no one wanted to buy it. After all, in that era, everyone was poor.
The Seagull and Petrel watches are also good.
They can buy anything big with a watch worth three to five thousand yuan, but they are reluctant to spend it.
I really want to buy it, but I'm afraid it's fake.
Xu Linjun happened to be stopped by Sun Hui. Yang Taotao recognized Xu Linjun and was so scared that she dared not show her face. 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, and this was the only place that sold adult milk powder, all of which were imported.
"It's a genuine Patek Philippe. I spent more than 10,000 US dollars on it." Sun Hui could tell that the person in front of him would definitely appreciate his watch.
Xu Linjun glanced at it casually. It turned out to be a real Philippe. Moreover, he had seen it before. 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 said with a smile: "My family has fallen on hard times and I'm in urgent need of money. If you like it, take it. Five thousand yuan is a bargain, so I'll just treat it as a good thing."
Hearing the price of five thousand, 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 felt a little bothered and shook his head and left.
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 look somewhere else?"
"If no one buys here, others will not be able to afford it." Sun Hui was angry. There was not even a pawnshop. At least there were shops in Yuecheng that specialized in buying second-hand goods.
Sun Hui is a foreigner here and is not familiar with 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 to find him. He should have money."
Gu Jiayuan never thought he would be stopped on the street and told that he wanted to sell him a famous foreign watch. He asked, "What watch? How much is it?"
Yang Taotao was still afraid of being recognized, so she kept hiding.
What a rotten day it is, everyone is an acquaintance?
This is not good!
Sun Hui took out his favorite watch and showed it to Gu Jiayuan: "It's a Patek Philippe. I bought it abroad. I'm short of money now, so I'm selling it to you at a low price."
"How much is the cheapest, three yuan or five yuan?" Gu Jiayuan really wanted to buy one, but unfortunately he hadn't met anyone who liked it. Who knew that when this person took out this watch, Gu Jiayuan fell in love with it at first sight.
Sun Hui almost rolled his eyes: "This watch of mine costs 5,000 yuan, but I spent more than 10,000 yuan when I bought it..."
"That's not cheap either." Gu Jiayuan pouted, not very willing to buy it.
Sun Hui explained: "The currency I use is US dollars."
Gu Jiayuan didn't care: "That's too expensive, I don't want it, you can find someone else!"
Five thousand, who are you kidding!
Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it like this.
Gu Jiayuan had just earned a few thousand dollars following Yang Zhaozhao, but he couldn't just let Yang Zhaozhao bring disaster upon himself, as that was his wife.
"Four thousand or not?"
"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 bargain: "Three thousand five, no less."
Yang Taotao said that this person was rich, and others could take the three thousand, but she would give him three thousand five hundred, and it would depend on whether he wanted it or not.
Gu Jiayuan paused, his eyes full of struggle.
Sun Hui thought there was a good chance and continued to praise his watch. He praised it so much that Gu Jiayuan was flattered and finally couldn't help himself: "I'll buy it for 3,300."
Sun Hui almost laughed. He struggled for a few seconds, then said with a look of reluctance: "Mr. Three thousand three is three thousand three. I acknowledge 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 three thousand yuan on him, but he had three thousand.
He took out three thousand and gave it to Sun Hui along with his own three thousand. "Is this watch real?"
"Don't worry, bro. 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.
When he goes back, I will definitely buy another one.
After taking 3,300, Sun Hui took Yang Taotao to the Friendship Shopping Mall to buy things. They found that they were not cheap and 3,300 could not buy much. Yang Taotao was reluctant to spend money: "Let's go to another supermarket, go to Huijia Supermarket to have a look."
"Huijia Supermarket?" Sun Hui frowned.
Yang Taotao nodded. "I heard it's newly opened. The supermarket's prices are comparable to the Friendship Store. Lots of people go there to shop. They have clothes, shoes, and everything."
"I want a pair of snow boots." Yang Taotao saw someone wearing them and asked, only to find out that it was from Huijia Supermarket, but she didn't have money to buy them.
At this moment, Sun Hui was generous and gave her five hundred yuan to spend. He was much more generous than Xu Linjun, and she listened to him.
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!
More importantly, he didn't fall for it, which made Yang Taotao unhappy. She felt that she couldn't compare to Yang Zhaozhao, so 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 the bus 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 pig's 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 mandarin duck hotpot in the evening, and Gu Jiayuan arrived at the right time: "Oh, hotpot, it smells so good, it seems I came to the right place!"
Li Yiling found him a seat. Not only did he enjoy drinking wine and eating pig's trotters and mutton rolls, but Gu Jiayuan also deliberately lifted his sleeves a few times.
Yang Zhaozhao frowned: "You're blocking my way to boil the tripe."
Gu Jiayuan couldn't help it and showed his watch directly: "Don't you think my watch is pretty?"
Yang Zhaozhao had seen it a long time ago and just wanted to know when he was going to show it off. What was there to show off after just a Patek Philippe watch?
It’s not that Yang Zhaozhao can’t afford it.
"It's just that I paid for it. I spent thousands on it." Gu Jiayuan said exaggeratedly, "My wife gave me 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 an eyebrow: "I sold it to you for thousands of dollars, is it stolen? Be careful, it's dirty."
Gu Jiayuan was a little nervous: "Looking at that person's appearance, he doesn't seem very genuine. He also speaks with an awkward accent, like someone from the South."
Yang Zhaozhao said to Gu Jiayuan in Cantonese: "Is my pronunciation not clear when I speak like this?"
"Yes, that's right." Gu Jiayuan was surprised: "You seem to be learning."
Yang Zhaozhao was thinking: "Where did you meet her?"
"In front of the Friendship Store, I bought a watch and left without paying much attention." Gu Jiayuan was a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
"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 coming from there."
Gu Jiayuan was furious: "You little bastard, I'm going to catch him right now."
