Chapter 9: Death Jewelry
It's the weekend, Xiaowen said that since she was pregnant, she almost never went out shopping, she was very panicked, and she wanted to go to the mall with her best friend in the same dormitory, saying that the lipstick of Yves Saint Laurent was also used up last time, and she wanted to buy a cheaper one for emergencies, after all, women have to wear some light makeup from time to time.
I directly gave Xiaowen a thousand yuan, "Xiaowen, last time I said to buy you lipstick, I haven't been free, take it and buy it." ”
Xiaowen crossbowed her mouth and smiled softly: "My Xiaofengfeng, when did you become so generous, in the past, if I bought slightly expensive cosmetics, I would be distressed, but this time I will be like a local tyrant, I love you to death." ”
I straightened my chest, "That's it, my Mu Feng's wife uses it, so I have to use the best." ”
Xiaowen glanced at me coquettishly, her eyes were full of tenderness, "Look at your stupid appearance, these five hundred yuan, I won't buy it if you ask me to buy it, let's save more money, the baby will cost a lot of money." ”
I smiled and bent over to clench my fists: "Thank you, my wife who is careful and reasonable." ”
Xiaowen hammered me with a powder fist, "You bad Mu Feng, big villain, didn't you know that I wouldn't buy it, so you are so fake and generous." ”
"When I make a lot of money, I will definitely give my wife two flowers, and if I have money to spend, I can spend it as I like."
Xiaowen's smiling willow eyebrows were crooked, extremely cute, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, I don't fancy your money with you, if I were really that kind of person, I would have already thrown my arms to the rich second-generation Chen Jianting in the class, when you chased me before, he followed me every day like a fart, but I still chose you." ”
Xiaowen put her arms around my neck, kissed me goodbye, and went out happily.
Xiaowen went out for a whole day, when the sun set, I didn't come back, I made a call, Xiaowen said that I hadn't come out for a long time, the sisters were very happy, play more, let me rest assured, there are a lot of people, and I will go back after a while, and said that the sisters bought her some small toys to celebrate the little doll that is about to be born.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Xiaowen went home, and I hurriedly took it over and put it in the house.
Xiaowen licked her lips and smiled, "My good husband Mu Feng, I spent all your money, am I a loser!" ”
"Just spend it, if you don't give it to your daughter-in-law, who will you spend." There is a good saying, 'Money is a bastard, we don't make it again'. ”
"Haha, husband, you are the cutest!" Xiaowen sat on the sofa reclining, "Mu Feng, I'm not a loser today, although I spent all my money, I made a lot of money." ”
As she spoke, Xiaowen opened an earthy yellow cloth bag and poured it on the coffee table with a "bang", "Look, this is the gold jewelry I bought for 800 yuan today." ”
I took a casual look, there was a gold bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, a gold ring, a gold necklace, under the bright light, emitting a yellow light, I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing, "Don't be funny, I bought it for eight hundred yuan, these are worth eight thousand, my stupid wife, have you been deceived by these stall fakes." It is said that a pregnancy is stupid for three years, I thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be really stupid. ”
Xiaowen snorted, crossed her mouth, picked up the gold bracelet and tried it on her wrist, "No, when I bought it, I went to the gold store to test it, it's true, I don't believe you can take it to the gold store tomorrow to check it." ”
After listening to her words, I still don't believe it, after all, these gold jewelry, the weight of the upside down, add up to 400 grams, even if the minimum is 230 grams, it costs more than 8,000 yuan, and you can buy it for 800 yuan.
Of course, I can't say it deeply, let alone complain about Xiaowen, even if she spends 800 to buy fakes, just be happy, pregnant and the most important thing is to be in a good mood.
I pretended to be excited, pretending to flatter, "Oh, my daughter-in-law can be regarded as making a lot of money today." ”
Xiaowen glanced at me, played with these gold jewelry, and said stupidly: "Look at your tone, I know that you don't believe it, okay, okay, believe it or not, it's true anyway." ”
I picked up the gold necklace and looked at it, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart, these jewelry were not sold casually by a robber in order to sell the stolen goods, and then asked: "Xiaowen, where did you buy these gold jewelry?" It's so cheap, it must not be a regular gold store. ”
Xiaowen replied: "At that time, my sisters and I finished shopping, and we were waiting for the bus, when we saw a circle of people around the stop sign, we went over to look, it turned out to be an elderly woman, sitting on the side of the road, with these gold jewelry, saying 800 yuan to take away." Although the onlookers were very curious, no one dared to buy it, thinking that the old woman was a liar, and the old woman insisted that it was true, as for why it was sold so low, there was a reason. ”
I was curious: "Xiaowen, then why do you dare to buy it, aren't you afraid that it is fake?" Besides, do you know if these gold ornaments were stolen? If you buy these stolen goods, the 800 yuan will be a trivial matter, and when the police come to the door, it will be broken. ”
Xiaowen then recounted the scene at the scene: At that time, no one believed that this old woman's things were true, including Xiaowen herself, and she didn't believe it, but after a while, a few policemen came from afar to persuade this old woman, it turned out that this old woman's daughter and son-in-law had been away for a long time and never went home to visit, and the old woman was sick and didn't come back, and the old woman was disheartened, so she was ready to sell these daughters' jewelry, but there was a requirement, that is, the person who bought the jewelry had to go to see her and chat during the New Year's holidays. can also be regarded as a goddaughter, and talk about the feelings of missing his daughter.
It turned out that this was the case, and I asked again, "Xiaowen, there were so many onlookers at that time, and such a big bargain, why didn't anyone take advantage of it?" Are they all fools? ”
Xiaowen shrugged her shoulders, "Of course, the old woman doesn't sell it when she meets people, and the most important condition is that these jewelry should be sold to people who are destined, that is, people who look like her daughter, and I happen to be eight points similar, this mother-in-law, who was holding my hand tightly at the time, said nothing, begged with tears in her eyes, and sent me to kneel, I looked at my mother-in-law pitiful, and I bought it." ”
I nodded, I see, but I was a little puzzled, "Xiaowen, since this mother-in-law wants to find someone who is destined, why don't you give away these jewelry for nothing, what do you need for eight hundred yuan?" ”
Xiaowen replied: "The reason why this old woman symbolically collects some money is just to make this destined person feel that she doesn't owe her, and if she gives it for nothing, it will be difficult for the other party to accept it." ”
I thought about it for a while, took these jewelry and looked left and right, and I always felt that something seemed to be wrong, because when Xiaowen spoke, she was a little flickering.
I walked to the bathroom, closed the door, and secretly called her best friend Cheng Fei to ask about these jewelry, Cheng Fei is the best sister in Xiaowen's dormitory, and I also went shopping with Xiaowen today.
Actually, I didn't suspect Xiaowen of lying, nor did I want to verify the authenticity of these jewelry, I was afraid that Xiaowen would fall into some kind of trap, there are too many liars in society now, there are too many scammers, and the scam is also impossible to prevent.
But after Cheng Fei finished talking about the origin of this jewelry, my heart was half cold.
It turned out that this jewelry was indeed sold by an old woman, and they followed Xiaowen to the gold store to check it, and it was also true, but the reason why the old woman sold these jewelry was not because her daughter and son-in-law went out and didn't come back, but because her daughter was killed in a car accident.
The old woman was very sad and longing for her daughter, and wanted to find someone who looked like her daughter to chat during the New Year's holidays to relieve the strong feeling of missing her daughter in her heart.
It turned out that these gold ornaments were of a dead man.
However, Xiaowen changed her statement, she shouldn't have deliberately deceived me, it was a kind of white lie, after all, saying that she bought something from a dead man, maybe I was disgusted, and the two of them had to quarrel.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Xiaowen leaning on the sofa, staring at me with apricot eyes, looking at me with a strange gaze, as if she was very displeased.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?" I asked.
