A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 252 Jade
However, as soon as Yun Jiao spoke up, everyone's attention fell on Wang Qiang, who was being held down.

Wang Qiang's expression turned ferocious: "You bitch, how dare you betray me!"

The woman guiltily looked away. Although she liked the strong and healthy Wang Qiang, she longed for a life with money.

Clearly, Wang Qiang could not satisfy her material needs.

Although Ah Cai is a bit of a loser, he is still a level six fitter, and he earns a considerable salary every month, plus he's been allocated this apartment.

Wang Qiang grinned maliciously: "Zhao Cai, I've slept with this bitch many times already. You don't still want to live with her, do you? Ha, you probably don't know, but I was already involved with her before you even got involved with her. I even specifically instructed you to get involved with her."

"You're a fucking idiot! Why should someone like you get a good job? We're brothers, and you see me suffering, can't you at least give me some money? Bah... What kind of bullshit brother are you? You don't even care about me!"

He was just jealous. The two of them grew up together. Zhao Cai's family had all passed away, and he grew up with his grandmother, but she also passed away when he was twelve.

He was a poor, pathetic fellow; back in the village, everyone used to chase after him.

But later, Zhao was inexplicably taken in by an old fitter who took him on as an apprentice. When they met again, Zhao had a job and a house and was considered successful by everyone.

The other one was still loafing around in the village and was disliked by the villagers. This disparity made Wang Qiang, who was already petty, want to take everything from him.

This led to the scheme that was later set up for Zhao Cai.

Who would have thought that Zhao Cai, that idiot, would take a fancy to that bitch?

The onlookers were stunned by his shamelessness.

No, does being a brother mean someone has to support you?

"What kind of taste do you have? What kind of brothers and girlfriend did you choose?"

The unlucky man, Zhao Cai, wore a bitter smile.

“I grew up with him; we’re from the same village.”

"You grew up together and you still can't see what kind of person he is? Your brain really isn't working properly."

In the end, Zhao insisted that people return the money.

After this incident, even if Zhao Cai liked his girlfriend a lot, he knew that she wasn't someone he could marry.

Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. He cried his eyes out and took the two people who couldn't pay to the police station.

Everyone gave him a thumbs up.

"My heart is aching so much, I feel like I need to see Dr. Xu again."

Yun Jiao, who was running after him: …………

Back at the clinic, Yun Jiao greeted her master and then continued watching them treat patients.

As for Zhao Cai, Old Xu gave him acupuncture to relieve his stuffy feeling, and then prescribed some medicine to regulate his body.

"Why don't you find someone else?"

Zhao Cai was completely deflated: "I'll think about it again."

After Zhao Cai left, Yun Jiao's senior brothers and sisters immediately called her over.

"Jiaojiao, tell us quickly, what's going on? Did you catch the person?"

Second Senior Sister had a gossipy look on her face.

The fourth senior brother also perked up his ears.

Old Xu was treating someone, and he only glared at them before hurrying off.

Yun Jiao sat on a small stool and, though slowly, clearly described what had happened to those people.

It's just that it lacks the exciting and dramatic feel of storytelling.

The second senior sister said with a hint of disdain, "Your storytelling skills aren't very good."

They then listened to what other people had to say.

Those people were talking all at once, making it much more lively than Yun Jiao's conversation.

It was getting late, so Yun Jiao decided to stay at the clinic.

The next day, after having breakfast and going for a walk to buy breakfast, she learned that what had happened to Zhao Cai the day before had spread to many people in such a short time.

She heard people discussing this even when she was buying soy milk and fried dough sticks.

You really can't underestimate a person's ability to gossip.

"Master, I'm going back now."

"Are you sure you can manage on your own? Have your senior brother take you back."

After eating and drinking her fill, Yun Jiao let out a satisfied burp, patted her chest, and confidently assured everyone, "Don't worry, I can definitely do it."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her small bag, said goodbye to her master, and ran outside.

Old Xu was giving acupuncture to an old acquaintance when she disappeared in the blink of an eye before he could stop her.

"Fourth brother, go and see where that little girl ran off to. How can someone so tiny be so bold?"

Song Chengyou went out to look for it and quickly returned, looking dejected.

"Couldn't find her, that girl ran away too fast."

Old Xu sighed.

Yun Jiao didn't go back immediately; instead, she carried a small backpack and bought a string of candied hawthorns.

These hawthorns are quite large; a string of candied hawthorns can cover half of her face.

Licking the sugar coating from the candied hawthorn skewers, she wandered aimlessly, going wherever her thoughts led her.

As she passed by a bicycle shop, she was suddenly attracted by a small item inside, so she lifted her short legs and stepped inside without hesitation.

When she came out again, Yun Jiao had a candied hawthorn in her mouth and was riding a small tricycle-style bicycle, her short legs pedaling quickly.

(This is a picture I found online, something like this.)
"Ding ding ding..."

Every now and then, he would fiddle with the bell in front of him.

The sight of this tiny person riding a bicycle around the streets attracted the attention of many people.

The children's eyes were filled with envy and longing.

They want it too!
Yun Jiao rode her little bicycle, making a clattering sound all the way, and out of boredom, she chased a stray dog ​​into a quiet alley.

But after passing through that alley, there was a completely different world inside.

Behind the alley was an open-air market. She didn't care where the stray dog ​​had gone; she just rode her bike around the market slowly.

There aren't many people in the store right now, whether they're selling or buying things.

Many of them looked like legendary antiques to her.

Yun Jiao stopped in front of an old man's stall based on her intuition.

In front of the old man, a clean, old floral cloth was laid on the ground, and on the cloth were a pair of bracelets, jade bracelets.

Yun Jiao got out of her car and squatted down.

"Little one, how did you get here? Where are your parents?"

Yun Jiao stared at the pair of bracelets: "Beautiful."

The old man's lips curled up: "Yes, these bracelets are made of icy jadeite. Not only is the texture excellent, but the purple is also a pure bluish-purple. Most importantly, they're a pair, which is very rare..."

The old man didn't care that the person in front of him was a child. He talked about the jade bracelet with great enthusiasm, and it was clear that he knew a lot about jade.

"Pity."

He sighed as he finished speaking, carefully taking the pair of bracelets and wiping them again and again with a clean handkerchief.

“If my family didn’t urgently need money right now, I wouldn’t be willing to sell these bracelets.”

Yun Jiao likes it very much too!

She was immediately drawn to these bracelets.

What beautiful colors, what beautiful stones.

It's even prettier than a bunch of gemstones.

"How much do you want to sell it for, grandpa?"

The old man smiled and said, "This pair? I won't sell it for less than 100,000."

A single one isn't that expensive; the current market price is over 20,000, and 30,000 is the absolute maximum.

However, a pair of icy blue-purple jadeite is very rare. 100,000 is not considered expensive, but very few people can afford it.

But if it's less than 100,000, the old man is very unwilling.

　Some prices were found on Baidu, while others I couldn't find prices for, so I had to make them up myself. This is fiction, not reality, so please don't overthink it and just enjoy it. Don't take it too seriously.
