Suisui at Seventy - Chapter 120

The old man’s expression gradually loosened. After so many years in this business, I have seen a lot of uncleanliness.

If it was a few decades ago, it wouldn’t matter, it would be their shop. But these years, the public security has become more and more stringent. If the case is really reported, I am afraid that there will be some disputes.

The old man looked at Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng, and saw that both of them were quite decent in appearance, so he finally nodded and said, “Okay.”

He took the watches and jade pendants that he had not received in time on the counter again, and said as he showed them: “He just used these two things, four hundred and five watches, two thousand jade pendants.”

After hearing this, Jiang Suisui nodded and glanced at the counter at random, but did not notice that Song Weizheng who was beside him was suddenly shocked.

She whispered: “It’s only two thousand four hundred and five…That’s a far cry…”

Jiang Suisui turned his head and looked at Song Weizheng, preparing to signal that he could retreat, but he saw Song Weizheng staring at the things on the counter with a very complicated expression.

It seemed shocked, but also angry.

Jiang Suisui paused and looked down his gaze, and found that it was the piece of jade that Song Weizheng was staring at.

She looked at the pattern on the jade pendant, and suddenly there was a flash of light in her head. Before she could think carefully about what was going on, a hand with distinct joints solemnly and carefully picked up the jade pendant.

Seeing Song Weizheng suddenly picked up the jade pendant, the old man was a little nervous. He stretched out his hand to stop him and said: “Young man, this is my shop and I took it back for two thousand yuan. I can only show it to you, but you can’t move it casually.”

Jiang Suisui suddenly had some thoughts in her heart at this time, and she quickly calmed down: “Master, don’t worry, we won’t touch it. This jade pendant seems to be the one from our ancestors, we just want to take a closer look.”

The old man squinted his eyes when he heard this, and his heart was not good, and he really got into a bad lawsuit.

After Jiang Suisui turned his head and looked at Song Weizheng. He seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts. He didn’t hear what he said just now, only tossing and touching the jade pendant over and over.

Jiang Suisui also looked down at Yupei, her heart beating suddenly, faster and faster.

She remembered, this jade pendant…this jade pendant is carved with a beautiful orchid, which resembles the style that Aunt Lan once described to her!

It’s just that Jiang Suisui hasn’t really seen Aunt Lan’s jade pendant, she can only hold this bold guess, restrained and excitedly waiting for Song Weizheng’s scrutiny.

After a moment of silence, Song Weizheng folded his palms to hold the jade pendant, and asked the old man with a cold face: “This jade pendant belongs to my mother. I want to buy it.”

“…Huh?” When the old man heard the first half sentence, he suddenly felt like he was going to grab it. After the second half of the sentence came out, he was stunned again, this… this young man is quite sincere?

Hearing Song Weizheng’s words, Jiang Suisui’s heartbeat became more and more fierce, and he actually stepped through the iron shoes and found nowhere to find it. It took no effort to get the jade pendant, which had been robbed for almost ten years, suddenly appeared in front of them!

Seeing that the old man was still in a daze, she quickly urged: “Master, did you hear that? We want to buy this jade, can we?”

“This…” The old man hesitated and said, “It can be seen that this thing may indeed belong to you, but we have pawnshop rules. During the **** period, we have to keep it for our guests. thing.”

“Ah…” Jiang Suisui was a little disappointed, this thing is right in front of him, and he can’t even buy it with money. It’s uncomfortable!

At this moment, Song Weizheng on the side: “How long is the **** period?”

“You got the idea.” The old man smiled, raised a hand and gestured a number. “I’m just about to say, this jade, the customer just now has only set a six-day deadline.”

“Six days?!” Jiang Suisui’s eyes flashed brightly, “Meaning, as long as he doesn’t come to redeem it for more than six days, this thing can be sold?”

The old man nodded: “That’s right.”

Hearing this, Jiang Suisui and Song Weizheng looked at each other, and they leaked a hint of excitement.

Song Weizheng held back the jade pendant, put the jade pendant back on the counter, and said, “After six days, I will pick up the jade pendant.”

The old man hurriedly added: “I can’t guarantee that the jade will be there in six days! If the customer quickly redeems it, then I have no reason to let it go.”

Song Weizheng smiled faintly, and said, “He won’t have money to redeem it.”

Jiang Suisui added: “Master, it’s impossible! My cousin is a gambler. If he has a little money, he will use it to gamble. Please help us to collect this jade. Six days later, we will be early in the morning. Just come over and get it!”

The old man nodded: “Yes, as long as the shop’s rules are not broken, anything will do.”

After speaking, he put the jade pendant back together with the watch again. Seeing Song Weizheng still reluctantly watching Jiang Suisui, he took his hand and walked out, and whispered as he walked: “Don’t look at it, since this store values ​​it so much. By law, this piece of jade will not fly away for at least six days. Our focus now is to keep an eye on Zhao Jiabao so that he has no time to raise enough money to redeem the jade!”

Hearing this, Song Weizheng finally recovered, a dark glow flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: “You are right.”

After he came out, Jiang Suisui analyzed: “He got one-fourth of 10,000 yuan once he was a thing, and maybe he will be able to raise enough 10,000 yuan again soon. Did you change his money?”

Song Weizheng shook his head: “No matter how stupid people are, one method can’t be used twice.”

“What should I do then?” Jiang Suisui said distressed, “Then let him raise money, we don’t care? Anyway, even if he makes up ten thousand, he wants to make another two thousand redeemed jade pendants. It shouldn’t be that easy, right? “

Song Weizheng shook his head again: “Don’t worry, he doesn’t make enough money.”

Jiang Suisui: “Why do you say that?”

Song Weizheng: “I have arranged for someone to stare at him these past two days to make sure he has nowhere to raise money.”

“Indeed…” Jiang Suisui thought thoughtfully, “Otherwise, I won’t be in a hurry to go to the doctor and ask my roommate to sell watches… But there should be good things in the Zhao family? What if he does it again?”

Song Weizheng: “I will let people continue to stare at him first, and if I find him going to be, I will cause him a little trouble.”

Jiang Suisui patted both hands and praised: “Okay, let’s make him less than 10,000.”

After speaking, she curiously asked, “Is that piece of jade pendant really that of Aunt Lan’s?”

Song Weizheng nodded, and said confidently: “If a fake is replaced, I won’t admit it.”

That was the jade pendant he had seen since he was a child. More than once, when he saw his mother alone, he touched the jade pendant silently, and his thoughts drifted away.

That is also the root cause of disaster for their family. If it were not for this piece of jade, their family would probably not attract coveted wicked people. The father would not die, the mother would not leave the root of disease due to dystocia, and the younger sister would not be weakened due to premature delivery. .

Thinking of these past events, Song Weizheng’s expression condensed. To find that piece of jade, for him is not only to find his mother’s origin, but also to find the source of all evil.

Jiang Suisui meditated: “Then how did this jade come to Zhao Jiabao? It was snatched by the former director of the Revolutionary Committee… Did he sell the jade later? Or he gave the jade to meet him? The Zhao family?”

Song Weizheng frowned and shook his head, and said, “I’m not sure… Maybe it’s possible. Have you seen it? The jade pendant is tied with a red string.”

Jiang Suisui nodded: “Yes, there is a red string, which seems to be easy to wear around the neck, and the red string seems to be a bit old, maybe I have worn it for a long time.”

Song Weizheng: “From the time your roommate told him the pawnshop, to when he went to be a thing, it was only one noon, he should only be able to use the most comfortable thing on his body. So this jade pendant should be what he often wears. “

Jiang Suisui was a little surprised: “It makes sense, but why would he use this jade pendant as a personal accessory for a man? This kind of jade doesn’t match his inferior temperament, not to mention that the jade is carved with orchids, and it is delicate and delicate. Exquisite, more suitable for girls.”

Song Weizheng frowned: “This is also something I can’t figure out…”

“Forget it.” Jiang Suisui patted him on the shoulder and said, “Anyway, thanks to him, let us find Aunt Lan’s jade pendant, which is a good thing!”

“Um…” Song Weizheng nodded.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly paused, his expression a little embarrassed.

Jiang Suisui asked strangely: “What’s the matter?”

Song Weizheng shook his head in silence. After a while, he sighed and said, “I’m sorry, maybe the plan to buy a house has been postponed. After buying jade, I won’t have much money left.”

The money he has on hand plus the money he earned from buying goods in the south, totals about three thousand. Except for the funds needed for the next purchase, the rest will only be enough to redeem the jade pendant.

Suddenly, I was a lot of steps away from the plan to buy a house.

“I said you are worrying about this? It was because of this.” Jiang Suisui couldn’t help but smile, “What anxious, we only came to Beijing for the first time. There are still many years to come, and there is still time.”

Song Weizheng lowered his head and smiled, but there was a rare disappointment in his voice: “I wanted to…give you a home sooner.”

The smile on Jiang Suisui’s face gradually faded after hearing this, replaced by a soft heart and emotion.

She tugged at Song Weizheng’s sleeves, looked at him with bright eyes, and said coquettishly: “Hey, our family is already very powerful. Is there anyone who can earn money on his own in two or three years? So much money? And you still have me, don’t I contribute to the home of the two of us? I don’t want you to buy a house alone, so I will feel distressed if I live in this way.”

She looked up at Song Weizheng, stretched out her arm and gently smoothed his eyebrows with her fingers, and said softly: “Let’s work hard together in the future and buy a big house together, okay?”

Song Weizheng lowered his head to look at Jiang Suisui, her gentle and cheerful look reflected in her eyes, as if the stars shone with dim light, dispelling the gloom in his black eyes.

Song Weizheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said gently to the stars in his eyes: “Okay, let’s work hard together.”
