Chapter 26 Selling Gold Bracelets to Raise Money

Back home, after closing the door, Song Tingfeng immediately asked about Huang Zhiqiu's visit.

"Did you lend money to your sister?"

Huang Jianye rubbed his ears and replied aggrievedly, "You have all our family's money, so I don't have the money to borrow it."

Song Tingfeng pointed to the candy on the table, "If she didn't borrow money, then she came here to buy things? You think I'm stupid, don't you? Huang Jianye, tell me clearly how much money you borrowed!"

I had bad luck tonight, I lost several dollars, and when I got home my wife still refused to let me go, so Huang Jianye was very upset.

"This candy was bought by my niece!"

Song Tingfeng was taken aback, "Huang Yao is back?"

"It's not Huang Yao, what's the name, Momo or something, oops, I can't remember clearly, but I heard my sister say that she came from Jiang City to look for relatives."

Song Tingfeng was skeptical, but didn't continue to entangle, but he planned to find someone to inquire about tomorrow.

When Huang Zhiqiu woke her up, Yunmo couldn't open her eyes. Finally, she covered her face with a veil soaked in cold water, and managed to get out of bed.

On the winding and winding mountain road, the surrounding area was so dark that you couldn’t see your fingers. Dogs barked and **** crowed from time to time in the distance. With the faint light of the fire, Yun Mo followed Huang Zhiqiu out of the village.

Huang’s family didn’t have a flashlight, so they had to use homemade torches to illuminate the road.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, there was finally a glimmer of light on the horizon. Huang Jianjun stopped before Yunmo cried out that he was tired.

"Little sister, Momo, hey, let's have a rest."

Although he is a farmer, he was still panting from exhaustion after driving the mountain road with a hundred catties on his back for more than half an hour.

After Huang Jianjun put Yang Xinghua down, Huang Zhiqiu hurriedly handed over the water bottle.

"Brother, drink some water."

"Mom, let me take a sip first, my throat is about to smoke."

Huang Zhiqiu didn't expect his daughter to be so ignorant. At this time, he was fighting for water and was about to preach, but Huang Jianjun waved at her, "It's okay, let Momo have some tea first. I'm not thirsty, but my legs are a little tired. soft."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Yunmo took the kettle, pretended to drink a couple of sips, but in fact secretly poured some spirit spring water into the kettle.

Lingquan water has the effect of strengthening the body and eliminating fatigue.

After drinking the water mixed with spiritual spring water, Huang Jianjun only felt refreshed all over, as if he had endless strength.

Soon, the group continued on the road.

Just like that, I walked and rested, and finally reached the bus station in the town before 8:00.

There are two buses from the town to the city every day, at 8:30 in the morning and 1:30 in the afternoon.

Huang Jianjun sat in the waiting room with Yang Xinghua and waited, and Yun Mo accompanied Huang Zhiqiu to buy a ticket.

"How much are four tickets to Anshi?"

"36 pieces."

Huang Zhiqiu was a little anxious, "Why do you want 36? Isn't it 8 yuan a ticket to go to the city?"

The ticket agent rolled her eyes impatiently, and said in a very impatient tone, "It's been a long time ago, and the price has already risen. Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, let it go. Don't delay the people behind to buy tickets."

Huang Zhiqiu blushed and looked at Yun Mo, "Momo, I don't have enough money with me!"

"Mom, it's okay, I have it."

Yunmo took out the money on her body, counted four ten-yuan bills, and handed them to the ticket window.

After getting the ticket, Huang Zhiqiu stuffed the 35 yuan into her hand.

"Momo, take these first, and return the rest to you when mom has them."

Yunmo pushed the money back, "Mom, we are a family, and the family does not need to be so clear."

Saying that, Yunmo took some of her own money and stuffed it together with Huang Zhiqiu's own money, "Mom, you should keep this money for self-defense, you will need it everywhere in the city."

"Need not…"

"Mom, put your money away quickly, there are many people at the station, be careful not to be targeted by bad guys."

Seeing that there were indeed people looking around, Huang Zhiqiu had no choice but to put the money in the bag first, and covered it when walking, for fear of being touched by pickpockets.

At 8:30, the car departed on time.

Maybe because of previous experience, this time Yunmo not only did not suffer from motion sickness, but was also in the mood to enjoy the scenery along the road.

There are fruitful corn fields along the road, and the straight corn stalks are like sentinels, standing neatly on the fertile soil.

The rice fields in the distance are like green blankets. When the breeze blows, the green waves are flying, not to mention how beautiful it is.

Woke up too early in the morning and drove another 20 miles on the mountain road. Yunmo quickly fell asleep in the picturesque scenery.

When he woke up, the car had already arrived at Anshi Bus Station.

It happened to be lunch time at this time, the three of them got out of the car, carried Yang Xinghua on their backs and found a small restaurant to have something to eat before taking a taxi to An City People's Hospital.

When the doctor saw Yang Xinghua's leg, he immediately said that he would be hospitalized for treatment.

After completing the hospitalization procedures, Huang Zhiqiu stayed in the ward to take care of Yang Xinghua, while Yun Mo took Huang Jianjun to find a gold shop to sell bracelets to raise money.

There is no mobile phone network in this era, and Yunmo is not familiar with Anshi. She is afraid that people will lower the price if she encounters a black shop. , and finally chose an old gold shop with the longest history.

"You two, what do you want to choose?"

Although the gold store is not big, it has a complete range of categories, including gold, silver and jade.

Yunmo casually turned around, pointing to a gold bracelet in the goldware counter to ask the price.

"How much is this bracelet?"

It may be that Yunmo is too young, and Huang Jianjun is dressed poorly, he doesn't seem to be able to afford a gold bracelet. The clerk didn't take the bracelet out of the counter, but his attitude was patient.

"This is pure gold of good quality, with a total weight of 41 grams. It is made of silk pinching. The price of gold plus labor costs, the price is 888 yuan."

Hearing the price, Huang Jianjun took a deep breath.

Because it is a solid bracelet, the body of the bracelet looks only the size of chopsticks, and it is still the thin end.

But just such a small bracelet, their whole family had to go without food or drink for three years to buy it.

The current international gold price is around 20 yuan per gram, with a fluctuation of no more than 10%. Calculated by weight, the bracelet is worth 820 yuan, and the remaining 68 yuan is considered labor costs.

Fair enough.

Yunmo looked around, and asked the clerk with a smile, "Is your boss there? Or he can decide. I have something here, and I want to ask him to take a look."

Under the recommendation of the clerk, Yunmo soon met the owner of the gold shop.

A middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s, with a shrewd smile on his face, but he doesn't look like a treacherous person.

"The little girl has something to show?"

I have to say that the boss is quite discerning.

Yun Mo and Huang Jianjun, Huang Jianjun was obviously older, so he could tell they were the parents at first glance, but the boss asked Yun Mo directly.

Yunmo didn't give up, and directly took out the gold bracelet.

The moment he saw the bracelet, the boss's eyes flashed with astonishment, but it quickly disappeared.
