Chapter 1295 Doing Legitimate Business
"Yes, I have," a stranger woman quickened her pace and came before Lin Qiushu, pulling out a red hardwood box from the bag she carried.
She carefully opened the box and lifted the red cloth to reveal a white jade bracelet, which she then extended towards Lin Qiushu, "I heard that you also buy jade bracelets here, right? Give me a valuation, and if it’s reasonable, I’ll sell it."
"Okay," Lin Qiushu took the bracelet and, after just one glance, handed it back to the strange woman, "This bracelet isn’t worth much; you won’t get a good price for it! You might as well keep it, it’s still a bracelet after all!"
"I know. But I really need the money! Name your price, and if I can accept it, I’ll sell it," the woman said urgently.
"This bracelet isn’t even worth a hundred!" Lin Qiushu said lightly.
One hundred yuan, for the average family, is nothing more than a month’s income, but for someone like Lin Qiushu, who deals in jade and stones, it’s really not much.
"I know!" The woman asked Lin Qiushu to name a price once again.
She was well aware that her jade bracelet wasn’t made of high-quality jade, nor was it particularly precious. It was bought for her by her husband a few years ago when their financial situation was better.
Now her husband was gone, and her child was sick. She needed the money urgently, which is why she was willing to pawn the bracelet.
"Your bracelet is barely worth seventy or eighty yuan, but I’ll give you a hundred! I can see you’re having a tough time," Lin Qiushu saw the story in the woman’s eyes.
"Thank you so much!" The woman’s eyes lit up as she kept thanking Lin Qiushu, "I really appreciate it! You are such a kind person! I won’t lie to you, I went to another Jade Store, and the owner offered me fifty yuan, but I didn’t sell it. I wanted to come here and see how the price compares."
