Chapter 6: Windfall
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wanru carried a pair of jade bracelets in her arms and rode her bicycle in front of a store specializing in selling jade pieces.
She walked in and saw a balding middle-aged man and a young man cleaning a few jade pendants, and there were no customers in the store.
She came to the bald middle-aged man, took out the jade bracelet, and asked, "Master, can you give me an appraisal of this pair of bracelets." ”
The bald middle-aged man's gaze stayed on Wanru's face for a moment, and when his gaze fell on the jade bracelet in Wanru's hand, his eyes immediately brightened, and his gaze looked at the crystal clear jade bracelet for a moment.
The young man's gaze did not sweep over Zhang Wanru's face. I saw that the bracelet on her hand was also staring at her.
Seeing their gaze, Wanru smiled and said, "I want to know if this is the real Hetian jade, this is an old object." ”
The balding middle-aged man immediately wiped his hands with a towel, put on a pair of white gloves, and carefully took the jade bracelet. I turned on the bright lamp on my desk and looked at them one by one under the lamp for a while, and then under a magnifying glass one by one.
His expression seemed calm, and from his eyebrows that moved slightly from time to time, Zhang Wanru felt his love and coveting of the bracelet
After a while, he squinted at Zhang Wanru, an expression of surprise appeared on his face, and said with a smile: "This is the best Hetian jade, and it is also the highest quality mutton fat white jade." ”
Wanru asked puzzledly: "I see some slight yellowing, is it really mutton fat white jade?" ”
"Yes. The white of the really good mutton fat white jade is not pure white, but a slightly faint yellow. In addition to white, the most important thing is its oiliness, real mutton fat white jade, giving people the first feeling like fresh mutton fat. In ancient times, many literati and scholars, eunuchs and wealthy businessmen were proud to have mutton fat jade pendants, because the oily texture of mutton fat jade gave people a more low-key and introverted feeling, which could not only show wealth and nobility, but also the favorite of literati and scholars. ”
Zhang Wanru heard his opinion of jade, and she also had a heart for continuing to collect this pair of jade bracelets. I thought to myself, it seems that my grandmother's family can pass them on as family heirlooms, it can't be too bad. For himself, this is all outside the body, at least his current situation, he is really not qualified to play elegant.
After she pondered, a smile appeared on her face, and she asked flatteringly, "Master, can you give an estimate, how much is it worth now?" ”
The middle-aged man's eyes rolled a few times, and he took out a delicate small iron rod and tapped it lightly on the jade bracelet a few times, making a crisp and beautiful sound.
He turned his head to look at Wanru and said: "This piece of jewelry, not to mention the age, just say that this jade is white and flawless, round and jade, and there is no flaw, it is expensive." In the million-dollar or so. ”
After hearing this, Wanru was scorched by thunder, haha, about a million, this is a windfall. It turned out that I was in Baoshan and didn't know it, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, this bracelet is a veritable antique. If he had the money earlier, he might have been able to save Grandpa Yuchen by sending him to a big hospital in the provincial capital.
The young man also came up, brought on and put on a pair of white gloves, took one from the middle-aged hand, and looked at it again and again under the lamp. Then he looked at the middle-aged man, his eyes shining brightly.
The middle-aged man asked enthusiastically, "Girl, do you want to sell it?" ”
Zhang Wanru heard the middle-aged question, and her excited mood finally calmed down. Yes, if you sell yourself, you will become an absolute 10,000 yuan household. In the future, the life of the family will float from the trough to the sky.
When the eyes met the eyes of the middle-aged man, I saw the person's dodging gaze. The moment his gaze flashed, Wanru felt his cunning and immediately became alert.
Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet, if I sell it first, will you take it here?" ”
"Yes. If you want to sell, come to me. I won't let you suffer, I'll give you a good price. ”
"Okay. I'll have to discuss it with my family. ”
She pursed her lips and smiled, thinking to herself, don't think I'm a little girl. In his last life, he was a shrewd businessman. There are five ways to distinguish the color of jade, that is: color, transparency, evenness, illumination, and knocking. The place came to you for appraisal just to ask you to give an estimate.
Zhang Wanru asked for the bracelet back, wrapped it carefully with a handkerchief, quickly put it in the pocket of the coat, thanked the boss, and said goodbye and walked out of the door.
She took out her car keys and unlocked it, pushed her bicycle on, and glanced back at the store before getting into the car, seeing that the middle-aged and young people were still standing there looking at her.
She rode her bicycle as fast as she could, almost driving it faster than a car, and her heart was full of excitement. Looking at the endless stream of vehicles and pedestrians on the road, I thought to myself, I am afraid that I am the only person who can carry a million yuan.
At this time, Zhang Wanru was even more shocked than when she knew that she was reborn, after a year of difficult life, she was worried about finding a way out, and today's exciting good news seemed to make her reborn again. There are thousands of rays of light all around her, especially the treasure in her pocket, which is heavy, is a dazzling golden mountain, as if all the people around her are looking at her.
Hehe, this is just the psychological effect of our Miss Zhang, if there are really passers-by who look at her, I just think that such a big beauty, and so powerful, riding a bicycle is like flying.
However, Miss Zhang completely ignored this. Even if you appreciate the big beauty, she is more stylish than the short clown in the previous life. Haha, now I am not only a native chicken and a phoenix, but also young, beautiful and golden.
She really wanted to shout at the sky and passers-by: What if I, Zhang Wanru, have a bad fate? I can change my life myself. In the future, I will use my own hands to hold up a brilliant sky for my children and families.
When I returned to the dormitory, I heard my mother-in-law's scolding from afar: "You old witch, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth." Accumulate some virtue for your son. Is my Wanru a mourning star, is it a disaster star to care about your. I just look satisfied. ”
"You stinky doesn't know what to do. All the bad things that happened in your family were brought to you by her. Kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. ”
is facing off against Wang Yun is Cao Yukun's mother who is upstairs opposite, Cao Yukun also works with Xia Changqing in the light machine factory, Xia Changqing is a friend from childhood to adulthood. Since knowing that Xia Changqing's girlfriend is Zhang Wanru, her envy and jealousy have not been counted, and Cao Kun's parents also went to Zhang Wanru's house to propose marriage, saying a lot of bad things about Xia Changqing.
In particular, if the doll is not a pro, what age is it? The old Xia family took advantage of the danger of others to propose this family business----
"Whew! How good is your family? Your sons are in their thirties, and they are still singles, singles. Aren't you resentful because you wanted Wanru to be your son's daughter-in-law at the beginning, and you were rejected? Now I'm here to pull my wife's tongue. You're just a, talking nonsense everywhere, aren't you afraid of hemorrhoids in your stinky mouth? ”
A few neighbors hurriedly came out to play a round: "Sister-in-law Xia, you dissipated your anger and didn't say anything, go home quickly." It's a matter of rushing words. ”
Mother-in-law Wang Yun didn't think so, and she didn't answer their words, and more and more people gathered to see the excitement.
Thinking of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, he said loudly: "Didn't I hear her behind her back, arranging our family Wanru once or twice." I didn't want to deal with her, it's endless. In the future, whoever says bad things about our family Wanru behind your back, be careful of rotten tongues, and you will be tripped over by stones when you go out. Grandma's! It is not that he is afraid of you. Hum! Who's afraid of whom! -----”
Zhang Wanru was really happy to see that her mother-in-law still had such a strong side. She didn't care at all when she heard the bad things people say about her. I gave my mother-in-law a thumbs up in my heart, and then added, 'Well done!' ’。
Seeing the old witch being dragged home by the neighbors, all the onlookers gradually dispersed. Mother-in-law Wang Yun is like a brave fighter, and after defeating everyone, Mingjin also collected his troops and went home.
The reason why Zhang Wanru didn't come forward was to see how her mother-in-law repaid those who gossiped about her. I didn't expect the skinny mother-in-law to be a master of quarrels, no, she was a master of the masters.
In his previous life, he was ugly and short, in order not to be bullied, he established his own image, often like a proud big rooster, who provoked himself would be unceremoniously scolded, and he was really not scared when he quarreled. It seems that it is really like the saying 'not a family, not a family.' ’
Zhang Wanru knew that her mother-in-law had won a big victory in this battle of lips and tongues, not only scolding the sullenness in her heart, but also giving those with bad intentions a warning and warning. At the same time, I am angry, but I am also in a good mood.
I didn't go home, I got on my bicycle and went to the napkin factory, got all their bills and bills, and thought about making them out as soon as possible.
On the way back, Zhang Wanru always kept in her mind the scene of her mother-in-law pinching her waist and scolding the old witch.
said silently in my heart: "Mother, if you defend me for a while, I will repay you for a lifetime of care; Every word you say to me will warm me for the rest of my life. I will give you back a clear sky without haze to your old man, and I will also shelter you and your children from the wind and rain. ”
Zhang Wanru came downstairs, parked the bicycle, and returned home with the bill in her hand. I saw my mother-in-law's red eyes crying. I knew that my mother-in-law came home and cried. When I can cry, my heart is happy.
Pretending not to know about this, he said, "Mom, I'm back." ”
The mother-in-law saw Wanru carrying the bag containing the account book and said, "Okay, you go to do the accounts, I'll pick up the child." ”
At the end of the month, Zhang Wanru received her salary, left the next month's living expenses, and returned home after paying back the family's money.
Take out the notebook of the borrowed money and spend it with a pen. I thought to myself, strive to pay off the external debts, and my psychological pressure will be reduced. In the future, if you do a good job in business and earn money, you will have to go to these people's homes to give some gifts and walk around every Chinese New Year. The money that can be lent to yourself is a kind and righteous person.
Mother-in-law Wang Yun came over and asked, "How many families are left that haven't been returned?" ”
Zhang Wanru smiled gently at her and said, "There are still five families, and only 5,000 yuan has not been returned." ”
Mother-in-law Wang Yun sighed and said, "These are all debts owed by Grandpa Yuchen when he was sick, alas! It stands to reason that there is a little interest. Your parents borrowed money for your illness this time, and you don't know how much? Alas! It's really hard for your parents this time. You take time to come home often, and your dad's health is not good. I heard from your mother that your uncle also lent 10,000 yuan. ”
