Chapter 1042: Emerald
Translator: Lonelytree
When Jiang Zhennan heard the last sentence, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
This reminded him of the first time he met Lin Yuelan. She had sold her things to them at a sky-high price. She was no different from a bandit.
Now, her money-grubber nature was exposed again, and she directly threatened a small stall owner.
Of course, she could do whatever she wanted. He would never interfere.
When the stall owner heard Lin Yuelan’s words, he was in disbelief. However, he immediately felt that it was an opportunity.
However, when he thought about how he had to split 70% of the money with this person, he suddenly felt his heart ache.
Although he was unwilling, he still took a gamble.
Unexpectedly, this lady really managed to find a jade stone.
Most importantly, not only did she get a jade, but she also got a priceless emerald.
How regretful!
However, just as everyone was discussing the emerald with envy, the stall owner received a signal from Lin Yuelan. Then, he had an idea and shouted loudly, ” Everyone, everyone, this lady bought this stone from my stall! I’m sure I have some stones here that have jade inside. Everyone, come over and take a look. This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you won’t have it anymore!”
When he shouted, some people were stunned at first, but soon someone reacted and immediately picked a stone and asked, ” Boss, how much is this? ‘ “Two thousand taels!” The stall owner narrowed his eyes and shouted.
That person immediately said, ” You’re robbing me! It’s so expensive!”
The stall owner said matter-of-factly, ” Isn’t this how stone gambling is? What if you got something like the young lady did? Wouldn’t you be rich?”
That person still said with some hesitation, “But … But isn’t this too expensive?”
The stall owner said confidently, ” You don’t have to buy it if you don’t want to!
In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought it.
As people said, stone gambling was all about gambling.
After that, the prices of the stones became higher and higher. Some of the stones that looked similar to the one that Lin Yuelan bought were bidding for tens of thousands of silver. Many people were even fighting over them.
A moment later, the stall owner had sold out all his stones, and he had already earned three to four hundred thousand taels.
This money was a lot of money that most people could not earn, even if they set up stalls for their entire lives.
Holding the money in his hands, his entire body was trembling. He was shocked and afraid, but more than that, he was pleasantly surprised.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
But now, he was holding it in his hands. It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t excited.
However, when he thought about how 70% of the 380,000 taels belonged to someone else, his heart ached.
He stole a glance at Lin Yuelan and saw that she didn’t notice him at all. He gritted his teeth and took the money, wanting to sneak away.
Anyway, these strangers didn’t know his name or where he lived, so even if he sneaked away, they definitely wouldn’t find him.
After making up his mind, he paid attention to Lin Yuelan and the other two.
Seeing that they really didn’t notice him, he took the money and sneaked away.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the figure that was slipping away and narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn’t chase after her but followed beside her.
However, he tugged at Lin Yuelan’s sleeve and pointed at the back of the stall owner, who was about to disappear.
Lin Yuelan nodded to show that she understood. Then, she shook her head to show that she didn’t want to chase after him.
Then, Jiang Zhennan ignored the stall owner, who had slipped away.
When Li Fazhi saw the emerald inside the black stone, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
He had never thought that this black thing would actually hide a priceless treasure.
After a moment of surprise, he exclaimed, ” I knew that Sister Lin was not simple, but I didn’t expect that you’re so good at identifying jade!”
Then, he asked Lin Yuelan curiously, ” Sister Lin, how did you know that there was jade in this black stone? ‘
He remembered that he had brought Lin Yuelan along the entire street, but they didn’t stop at any stalls. However, when they arrived here, she saw this black stone at first glance, and she seemed to be very interested in it.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that he didn’t persuade Lin Yuelan not to buy this piece of black stone. With his many years of experience, he was certain that this stone wouldn’t have jade. However, in order to make Lin Yuelan happy, it was worth it to spend a few taels of silver..
