Why did you provoke me?

Mr. Yu nodded. "What you said makes sense, but I don't have another bracelet."

Mr. Wei was extremely patient. "It's okay if you don't have it now. What I'm saying is, if you do have it, you can consign it with me, and I'll give you a very high price."

"Oh dear, Mr. Wei, after all this talk, isn't it just about getting me to consign any more bracelets I have to your shop?" Mr. Yu suddenly realized.

"Of course, that's fine. Look at this time, I came to you first. Given our relationship, I trust Boss Wei's character." Mr. Yu was skilled in the art of language.

"However, Mr. Wei, let me make this clear from the start. I'm just a middleman; the price wasn't set by me, but by the person who gave me the items. So, I don't know the price of the bracelet next time." Mr. Yu wasn't lying; the price of the bracelet wasn't set by him, but by his son, Xiao Si.

When Boss Wei heard what Father Yu said, he was not angry at all, but rather very happy.

He only sells on consignment; he sells for whatever price the employer asks for, since he only asks for commission.

However, if the shop has good products, its reputation will become very well-known, which will indirectly increase the number of customers. This will help the shop's business get better and better.

This is a sure-fire way to make money.

Seeing that Boss Wei didn't disagree or make any other requests, Mr. Yu felt he had completed the task assigned to him by Xiao Si'er. So he happily went back home.

The person who bought the green bracelet was currently showing it off in front of Jiang Mingfeng. "Cousin, although your place is small, there's something here that I, this young master, can appreciate."

He then raised his left wrist. "Look, how's this bracelet made?"

Jiang Mingfeng felt a pang of resentment seeing his boastful attitude. He should have had a string of them too, but Jiang Mingfeng's loose tongue caused him to lose them.

Dali never brought it up again, and he was too embarrassed to ask again.

"Where did you buy it? It's definitely a good item." Jiang Mingfeng's eye for quality is much better now than before.

Since that time when he missed out on something good because of his poor eyesight, he went home and crammed on his knowledge in that area. Now he really does recognize most common treasures.

"It's that shop at the end of the street. There happened to be an uncle there consigning this item. I could tell it was a good piece, so I intercepted it," Li Yifeng said proudly.

"Your luck is really good, cousin." Jiang Mingfeng thought to himself, how could he let Dali give him that bracelet again?

The reason he didn't go out with the mining group these past two days was to stay home and entertain his cousin who came from the provincial capital.

"Cousin, let me tell you. In the provincial capital, you'd never run into someone like this without luck. I was really lucky to come here this time." As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it in the sunlight.

Jiang Mingfeng thought disdainfully, "You're a rich kid from the provincial capital, do you have to show off like this in front of me? My wife can make these kinds of bracelets. They're nothing special."

But this time Jiang Mingfeng was smart; he didn't tell anyone about his wife's affair.

Otherwise, given his scoundrel nature, he'd be completely obsessed with his wife. If she leaves him, he'll regret it terribly.

"Hey, cousin, what other fun places are there around here?" Li Yifeng asked lazily.

"What do you mean by 'fun place'?" Jiang Mingfeng asked, puzzled.

"Any place that you find interesting is fine." Li Yifeng didn't have any particular place he absolutely had to go to.

Jiang Mingfeng: "No. I usually stay at the Cai Group. I only stayed here to keep you company because you came."

"Yeah, Cai Group. I haven't been to that Cai Group yet, how about we go together tomorrow?" Li Yifeng was eager to go.

"No, please don't. That kind of place isn't for a young master like you. Going to the mining group is very hard work, and you'll encounter danger." Jiang Mingfeng's expression turned serious.

"Isn't there you here? What danger could there be? There are so many people. It's settled then, we'll go to the mining group together tomorrow." Li Yifeng hummed a song as he went upstairs.

Jiang Mingfeng wanted to slap himself across the face. "You dared to talk so much? This Cai Group is no place for a rich kid like me!" he thought. "If I got even a scratch, my mother would beat me to a pulp."

When Yu's father got home, he happily told Yu Meng what had happened. "You know, wasn't I lucky? I was thinking of asking for more so he could bargain, but he didn't even mention it."

"Dad has always been very lucky." Yu Meng gave a thumbs up.

Yu Meng looked at her father and suddenly asked, "Dad, Mom should have a line drawing book too, right?"

Yu's father shook his head. "No. Back then, line drawing books had to be bought. The number indicated the price, and it cost a certain number of silver coins. Your maternal grandparents didn't spend that money."

Yu Meng nodded, indicating that she understood and would not bring up the matter again.

Yu Meng couldn't believe that in a world like this, parents wouldn't consider their children's needs. Sigh, her mother was the one who wasn't favored. She'd heard from her older sister that her aunt's family was much better off than hers; they even had a house in town.

Yu's father didn't take Yu Meng's words seriously and went about his own business.

Yu Meng sat at the table, deep in thought. Finding an unclaimed line drawing book would be difficult. And this was something she couldn't do openly.

Yu Meng is already ten years old, but she doesn't have a single friend in the village.

She didn't like these people, and the only ones she really interacted with were Xiao Ge's friends. Out of respect for Xiao Ge, they took good care of Meng.

Sometimes, Yu Meng would peel off the dough from the small items and give it to them. Of course, if it was edible, Yu Meng would take it back as payment.

Yu Hai ran in from outside and saw Yu Meng. "Great! Come with me quickly. Xiao Hui and I caught something strange. Go take a look."

After saying that, he grabbed Yu Meng's hand and ran. Yu Meng shook off the young man's hand, "Lead the way. Still dragging me along? You can't even run as fast as me!"

The young man wasn't angry; what the young woman said was true.

The two arrived at a fork in the river at the foot of the mountain. Xiao Hui waved to them from afar, "Here." His voice was soft, almost a whisper.

Yu Meng moved quickly; she saw Xiao Hui pressing something with his other hand.

Yu Meng's hands moved quickly, grabbing the spot Xiao Hui was pressing. With a gentle pinch of two fingers, she tore off a sheet of dough.

Xiao Hui plopped down on the ground. "My hands are numb. This thing is too powerful."

"Take a look at what this is? Is it valuable?" Yu Hai asked, looking at the item in Yu Meng's hand.

Yu Meng glanced at it too, but didn't recognize it. She tossed it to Yu Hai, saying, "You two keep it."

Xiao Hui sat on the ground and slowly pulled the thing out. It had a long body with fine scales, but its head was huge.

The three people looked at each other, not having seen each other before and not recognizing each other.

"Go back and ask my dad." Yu Hai neatly packed his things away.
