The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 383: The Landlord in the Variety Show (Extra Chapter 7)

"What jewelry? How come I don't know it!" Uncle Liu had just said this when his son pulled his sleeve.

Cousin Liu pointed at Grandma Liu and said, "Dad, look at Grandma's reaction. Maybe she knows."

Amid the questioning looks from her son and grandson, Grandma Liu said, "I took a jewelry box, but your grandmother agreed to give it to me."

"I don't mean to come back." Su Xiangran said, "I just want to ask if the things are still there. If they are, I want to buy them back."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three Liu family members lit up, especially the grandmother of the Liu family, who smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Those are all old items. If you want to buy them, they are not cheap."

"That depends on whether the items are complete. If they are, I may consider buying them at a high price." Su Xiangran threw out the bait.

Grandma Liu said, "Come back the day after tomorrow," and went back with her son and grandson.

The next day, several people took the items in the jewelry box to several places for appraisal, but the answers they got were all: the items were old, but the color and texture were not very good, so they were not worth much.

All these things add up to no more than 20,000 yuan.

Grandma Liu bit her lip service, bought a gold-plated ring from a street stall, and exchanged the inconspicuous ring inside for another one.

"Mom, if we do this, she won't find out, right?" Uncle Liu reminded her, fearing that she might lose the big picture over the small.

"No, how old could she be at that time?" Liu's grandmother said firmly, "She probably doesn't even know what's inside. If she finds out, she'll say we don't know why either. As long as we have this ring, we can still extort money from her next time."

"Grandma, you are so smart. Let's do this." Cousin Liu also agreed with Grandma Liu's approach.

When the third day came, he directly quoted the price: "Fifty thousand dollars for one price."

"How much can you ask outside?" Su Xiangran asked directly, "Is there any offer over thirty thousand?"

The three members of the Liu family were speechless for a moment, but cousin Liu quickly reacted: "Can people outside have the same feelings as you, cousin? This is your grandmother's relic, and it must be of great significance to you."

"Let me see it first." Su Xiangran said.

"No, you have to pay first." When cousin Liu saw that this was a possibility, he started to negotiate the terms.

"If you are sincere about selling, then after I inspect the goods, if there is no problem, I will pay." Su Xiangran was also very tough, "So many people are watching! Today, not only is the head of our Sujia Village here, but also the head of your Liujia Village is here.

But if you don’t really want to sell it to me, the door is over there and you can leave now.”

Cousin Liu looked at the gloomy face of the Liujia Village chief, swallowed, and handed over the jewelry box.

When Su Xiangran took the box, she calmly estimated its weight.

Then she began to check the things in the box. The three members of the Liu family noticed that she checked very carefully and became nervous for a moment.

Not long after, Su Xiangran closed the jewelry box. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the three thought she didn't notice, but she still didn't relax.

"Where's the original ring inside!" Su Xiangran handed the box to cousin Liu, "I said a complete set, I'll buy it. Let alone one ring missing, I won't buy it even if there's one rivet missing from the box."

The three of them looked at each other, and Grandma Liu said, "What kind of ring it is, I don't know. It's just like this when it comes to my hand."

Su Xiangran smiled and said, "There is a special Su family mark on the inside of that ring. It cannot be replaced by an ordinary gold-plated ring."

When Grandma Liu wanted to refute, she started to say: "I know Grandma Liu likes that ring very much. She has worn it for many years and it has left marks on her finger.

It doesn't matter. A gentleman doesn't take away what others like. I won't buy the things. You can keep them for yourself!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Grandma Liu's fingers, and she reflexively covered the place where the mark was left.

"Don't refuse to buy it!" Cousin Liu said anxiously, "My grandma is always wrong, it's not intentional."

Then he immediately used his eyes to urge Grandma Liu to take out the ring.

Finally, Grandma Liu took out the ring from a small cloth bag and put it back into the jewelry box.

Su Xiangran took the box again and checked it again before the few people transferred the money and signed the contract in order to prevent the other party from going back on their word.

After everyone left, Su Xiangran pulled Yin Bo back to the room and touched several dark patterns on the jewelry box in order.

Two secret compartments popped out on both sides of the box. In one compartment was a gold medal the size of half an adult's palm, with the words "Peace and Joy" written on it.

In another compartment is a pair of jade bracelets of excellent quality and texture. The most rare thing is that the two bracelets are very similar and it is obvious that they are taken from the same piece of jade.

Yin Bo weighed the gold medal in his hand and said, "Let alone other things, this gold medal alone is worth more than 50,000."

"Yes! This pair of bracelets is priceless." Su Xiangran looked at the bracelets.

Even though no one had worn them for many years, she seemed to still be able to see through these jewelry the earnest blessings a mother had given to her daughter many years ago.
