I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The young man looked at her in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief and a hint of ridicule on his lips, but when he saw Ji Xiaobei's stature, he tried hard to suppress the ridicule.

"There are plenty of these stones by the river, they're not valuable!" said the young man.

"No way, isn't this agate?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Horse brain, donkey brain, I don't understand, but this stone is worthless anyway." The young man made a gesture of invitation.

At this time, Ji Xiaobei saw a man sitting behind the counter, looking at a piece of jade with a magnifying glass.

"Please show me how much this stone is worth?" She walked up to the man without giving up.

The man said without even looking up: "My guys have already said it's not worth anything. Country people shouldn't just pick up a stone and call it a treasure. Go away and don't disturb our business."

Ji Xiaobei: Damn it, you are such a snob!

She took the stone and left the silver shop.

"See? They are so eager to get rich that they even think a donkey dung egg is a diamond!"

"Hahaha……"

There were bursts of laughter behind me.

Ji Xiaobei doesn't want to cause trouble, he just wants to make money.

Something was thrown out from behind.

She turned her head and saw a handkerchief on which she had placed the stone.

The handkerchief is quite soft.

Damn it, you don’t want me but I do!

As she bent down to pick up the handkerchief, she heard several of the boys burst into laughter: "I told you she would pick it up!"

"You country bumpkin, you have never seen the world. You put a broken stone on our handkerchief and made it dirty. If she wants it, just give it to her!"

……

There was another wave of laughter.

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help it and laughed at her, saying "I don't care, but I'm being shameless."

She clenched her fists, furious. What a horrible thing to have met such a bunch of ungrateful people.

She turned and walked away. The guys in the room stopped smiling and hurriedly dispersed to do their own things.

She stood at the door like a wall and asked loudly, "Is there anyone in charge of this store?"

The man who had been wiping the jade carefully with his head down stood up and said, "What's the matter?"

"You look like a dog. You must have been blind just now. The guys in your store treat customers like this. No wonder your business is so bad?" Ji Xiaobei cursed.

The man was stunned, put down the jade in his hand, and looked at the angry woman, as if he was about to smash the counter to pieces in the next second.

His face turned slightly red, and he regretted treating her like that. He thought she was just a peasant, but he didn't expect she had such a bad temper.

However, he is the shopkeeper here and cannot lose face.

"Business requires fair transactions. We don't accept the stones you brought. What's wrong with that?" the man argued.

"Bah, I'm talking about your attitude. The people here have been farmers for three generations. What's so proud about that? We are all small fry who work hard for work. We can't even afford the things in the store. What's so great about that..."

Ji Xiaobei didn't care about anything and just went up and started cursing.

The three skinny guys and the shopkeeper were no match for him.

Hearing the shouting and cursing, an elderly man in satin clothes came out.

"What's going on?" he asked coldly.

"Boss, there's a stone seller. I said I didn't want to buy her, but she started to make trouble..."

"Bullshit, liars will bring death to three generations. What did you and the guys say about me? A peasant, a country bumpkin, bah..." Ji Xiaobei jumped up and cursed.

When she jumped, the owner felt the house shake.

"Young lady, if you have something to say, just talk nicely. Don't be anxious!" The boss stepped forward quickly to persuade her.

Ji Xiaobei recounted what had happened.

The boss scolded the waiter, asked the manager to apologize to Ji Xiaobei, and fined him two days' wages. Only then did Ji Xiaobei's anger subside.

"Young lady, take out your things and let me see them!" The boss stroked his beard and said good-naturedly.

"No, it's worthless!" Ji Xiaobei stood up and was about to leave.

The boss saw that she was still angry and was afraid that she would come over at night and smash the shop.

I have to see her stone.

Ji Xiaobei had no choice but to take it out. She thought that this thing was probably worthless in this dynasty, so it would be better to give it to her mother as a decoration.

The host took out a white silk handkerchief from his pocket and took a few stones from Ji Xiaobei.

The snow-white silk scarf set against the blood-red stone, looking extremely dazzling.

"Young lady, please spare me a moment to talk!" He made a gesture to her in invitation.

Ji Xiaobei was puzzled. What did you mean? Are the shopkeeper and the employees in your store blind and unable to see that this is a treasure?

She glanced at her boss. He seemed quite polite and should be a serious person.

She followed him into the house.

The host put the handkerchief on the table, took out a wooden-handled magnifying glass from the drawer, handed it to Ji Xiaobei and said, "Young lady, take a look for yourself!"

Ji Xiaobei took it suspiciously and read it carefully.

Oh my god, what is in here? It looks like a small flying insect, and you can even see its wings. Is this amber?

I looked at another piece and saw that the lines inside were neat lines of blood. Is this a bloodstone?

Mother!

This thing is so valuable!

She opened her mouth in surprise and looked towards the Dong family.

"My surname is Ma, and I'm the owner of Ma's Silver Shop. My shopkeeper is new and doesn't know any better. He offended the young lady!" Boss Ma said slowly.

Ji Xiaobei was anxious: They didn’t get any advantage anyway, so let’s get down to business, how much is this worth?

"Young lady, how much do you want to sell it for?" asked Mr. Ma.

Ji Xiaobei doesn’t know how much this thing is worth in ancient times!

It must be a treasure in modern times, and it must be worth at least one or two million.

She did not hide it and said, "Master Ma, this is an heirloom in my family. My mother asked me to find a price. If it's suitable, I'll sell it to you. Please name your price!"

Mr. Ma smiled and said, "This one is 100 taels of silver!" He pointed at the bloodstone.

Ji Xiaobei laughed in her heart. If she was told that other stones were worth 100 taels, she would believe it, but this bloodstone and amber with small flies were also very precious in ancient times.

Ji Xiaobei held the five stones in his hand and said, "My mother said that these two stones are not for sale. The remaining three stones are 120 taels in total. If it is possible, Mr. Ma will take them. If not, I will look for another family."

"I took these three pieces for 120 taels of silver. If you want to sell the other two, come to me!" said Mr. Ma.

The fact that he was willing to offer 100 taels of silver for that piece of bloodstone shows that he is not a liar and still has a conscience.

Ji Xiaobei took the two pieces and said, "Okay, Mr. Ma is an honest man, I believe you!"

Ji Xiaobei asked Ma Dongjia to write her two silver notes of 50 taels, and the remaining 20 taels were in small change.

While no one was paying attention, she put the silver and two stones into the refrigerator and left the jewelry store.

Now, she is more convinced that she has the physique of a koi fish. The system really does not deceive me.
