"It's okay, it won't cost a few bucks!"

Lin Fan smiled and comforted.

"Little brother, I don't have much money!"

Tong Jiajia pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.

Tong Jiajia said that he had no money, but Lin Fan didn't believe it.

Bai Susu originally said that there was a lot of money in the family, and he couldn't spend it in a few lifetimes.

Tong Jiajia, as Bai Susu's cousin, lives in a high-end community, how can she have no money.

Actually, Lin Fan was wrong.

The Tong family used to be a rich man in Dongcheng.

However, ten years ago, Tong Jiajia's mother was terminally ill.

Her father spent all his savings to treat her mother, and in the end, her mother left, leaving the father and daughter to depend on each other.

Because Tong Jiajia's father is still young, there is no male in the family.

A year later, his father was forced by family pressure to marry her a stepmother.

Immediately afterward, her stepmother gave birth to a half-brother for her.

Tong Jiajia's father decided to move abroad in order to give her half-brother a good education.

Tong Jiajia was reluctant to go, so she stayed at home and relied on her grandmother.

At first, my dad would send money back on time every month.

But his younger brother needed more and more money to study abroad, and the sensible Tong Jiajia didn't ask for it anymore.

In the end, she wondered if her father had forgotten her existence and didn't call twice a year.

A year ago, after Tong Jiajia's grandmother passed away, my father came back once and left tens of thousands of yuan for her, until now.

And this time, the old birthday star of the Hong family celebrated her eightieth birthday, and Hong Yan, the principal of the Hong family, personally sent a letter to invite her to go.

Hong Yan's wife is her own aunt.

In the past, Hong Yan looked down on Tong Jiajia's family very much, because her family was not a wealthy family.

Therefore, after Tong Jiajia's mother died, the Hong family cut off contact with her.

But who knows, this time Hong Yan actually called again.

She can't help but go, because Hong Yan is her elder.

was invited, as a junior, she had to come up with a decent birthday gift, otherwise she would have to be told by her aunt, and her mother would also suffer.

However, her annual income is only about 60,000 yuan.

Even if her father abroad gave her tens of thousands of yuan, it was not enough to buy a decent gift.

She borrowed money from Bai Susu and Su Peining, but only got tens of thousands of yuan.

Su Peining and Bai Susu did not lend it to her, but because they fell out with their family and ran away from home.

The family was furious and froze their bank cards and credit cards.

Lin Fan naturally didn't know Tong Jiajia's family situation.

He looked at the dazzling array of handicrafts carved from jade in the store, and suddenly saw a statue of the Bodhisattva that Tong Jiajia wanted to buy, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiajia, here is what you need!" ”

Tong Jiajia, Bai Susu and the others heard this, and at the same time looked at the ornament in front of them.

The statue of the Bodhisattva is not large, only 20 centimeters high.

Moreover, the jade material made into the Bodhisattva is obviously good, without any spots.

Tong Jiajia saw that the quality was good, and asked the shopkeeper: "Boss, how much is that Bodhisattva statue?" ”

The boss looked at Tong Jiajia with a smile, and said with a smile: "Little beauty, your vision is so good, this Bodhisattva statue is new. The best Hetian jade ...... in Xinjiang"

The boss shows the essence of a profiteer, telling the story vividly, but not the price.

"Boss, you don't have to say so much, you just need to say the price!"

Bai Susu, who was on the side, was a little impatient when he heard this, and spoke out to stop the profiteer from continuing to brag.

The boss smiled awkwardly, "It's not expensive, one million and two million!" ”

"One and a half million?"

Tong Jiajia was so surprised that her eyes were about to run out.

And Bai Susu and Su Peining are the same.

If it were the past, they would definitely not take the money in their eyes, and they would scream with confidence and swipe their cards.

But at this time, the combined net worth of several of them was only 150,000.

"It's too expensive!"

Tong Jiajia shook her head.

The boss smiled, and when he was about to tell the story again, Tong Jiajia said seriously: "Boss, I want 100,000 yuan!" ”

When the profiteer heard Tong Jiajia's offer, he was stunned.

I've seen it ruthless, but I've never seen it so ruthless!

Lin Fan was almost scared by Tong Jiajia's offer.

Jade is profitable, but it's not so cheap!

The boss said that the jade material is domestic, so the price per gram starts at 100 yuan, and there is no upper limit.

And if the quality of the Bodhisattva is so good, and the size is so big, the price should be more than 1,000 yuan per gram.

Tong Jiajia, come directly for 100,000 yuan.

The boss didn't kick people out on the spot, so the boss is well-cultivated!

"Little beauty, my piece of jade is really authentic and new. Xinjiang and Tian Baiyu are not foreign. ”

"At your price, you can only buy foreign jade materials, but you can't buy them from your own country!"

The boss's cultivation is really good, but he explained with a bitter face.

Tong Jiajia was also a little embarrassed when she saw the boss's bitter face, and asked, "Then do you have jade materials abroad?" ”

"Little sister, the white jade made into a bodhisattva statue can only be used with the jade block of your own country!"

"Because, the Bodhisattva is the faith of the Chinese people, and they can only use the ...... of their own country"

Tong Jiajia's eyes showed a look of loss.

She once went to the Hong family and learned that the old birthday star of the Hong family believed in Buddhism.

However, the statue of the Bodhisattva that Lao Shouxing has been worshipping is made of gold, so she wants to buy a jade one.

However, this price is too high!

She can't afford it!

Lin Fan saw Tong Jiajia's embarrassed face on the side, and muttered in his heart, is this chick really without money?

One million is a lot for ordinary people, but for the daughter of a wealthy family, it shouldn't be nothing!

"Beauty, if you really want a Bodhisattva statue carved from a foreign jade block, I have a friend who sells it!"

The boss said very intimately: "The price is not expensive, only about 80,000 yuan!" ”

When Tong Jiajia heard this, her eyes lit up, "Okay, then it's troublesome!" ”

Lin Fan saw that Tong Jiajia actually wanted to buy cheap foreign goods, and there was a strange look in his eyes.

That's superstitious, old man.

If you take a foreign product and someone sees it, will something happen?

Lin Fan had just doubted in his heart, and Bai Susu's voice came from his ears, "Sister, don't buy foreign ones." ”

"The Hong family is a family, if your aunt and brother-in-law know that you are buying foreign goods, maybe they will have to be told again."

"I think, you don't want to buy a Bodhisattva statue, just buy some sandalwood bracelets."

"Anyway, the Hong family doesn't take you seriously!"

"The Hong family?"

Lin Fan didn't expect that Tong Jiajia was going to the Hong family to pay homage to Dong Xuan's grandmother.

Listening to the meaning of Bai Susu's words, the relationship between Tong Jiajia and the Hong family is still very close.

He didn't say much, though.

At this time, Tong Jiajia's voice came again, "Susu, it's because they look down on my family, so I need to buy something better!" ”

"Otherwise, they have to talk about me, and they have to say my mother, marrying an ordinary person like my father, and they can't even get a decent gift!"

"But, we don't have any money......"

When Bai Susu said this, his voice became lower and lower.

These days, she eats Tong Jiajia's, lives with Tong Jiajia's, and spends almost all of Tong Jiajia's pitiful savings.

Lin Fan heard Bai Susu say that he had no money, and he was very puzzled in his heart, several of them were rich second generations, how could they have no money?

At this time, Bai Susu's voice came again, "Sister, then you wait a minute, I'll call my brother and ask him to send some money!" ”

"How could Brother Juncai listen to you?"

Tong Jiajia looked anxious, "My aunt and uncle have already frozen all the funds on your cards." ”

"They just force you to beg them, make you compromise and accept their arrangement!"

"So, don't beg them for this little thing and ruin your life!"

After Tong Jiajia finished speaking, she was relieved to see that Bai Susu seemed to have listened.

She looked at her boss and asked, "Boss, are there any smaller ones?" ”

"The kind of about 100,000 yuan!"

The boss said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this twenty-centimeter-tall is already the smallest." ”

"Why don't you take a look at the rest?"

"Good things for about 100,000 yuan, still a lot!"

When Tong Jiajia heard this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At this time, she finally knew the deep meaning of the phrase "die to save face", and she also realized that there was no money.

In the past, she felt that it was not so important to have more money or less money, but to live happily.

At this time, she realized that it was difficult to move an inch without money......

Lin Fan saw Tong Jiajia's face showing a sad face on the side, and couldn't help but say to the boss: "Boss, wrap this Bodhisattva statue for me!" ”
