Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps
Chapter 59 Black Market
"Child, please don't explain. I was awake when you took out your pocket." Grandma sighed. Zhou Jianguo looked very pitiful with his long hair, but what he did was not welcome.
The old landlady became anxious, "Jianguo, did you go pickpocketing the train with those people again?"
Zhou Jianguo quickly explained, "Qian De will follow me. I can't go without you. However, I didn't take anyone else's money. I paid them back."
It was still returned, but not to the owner.
Instead, it was given to the more pitiful people in the way of thieves.
The old landlady was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit Zhou Jianguo, "I told you, don't hang out with those people. They don't learn from them. Your father is gone. If something happens to you again, how will I survive?"
Zhou Jianguo stood obediently and let his grandmother beat him.
After a few beatings, grandma still couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the old landlady away. "If you have anything to do, come in and say it. Don't make people laugh."
The old landlady was so sad that she seemed like she would collapse in the next second.
Yuan Ni and others also knew that the old man was old and could no longer be stimulated, so they did not mention leaving, but went into the house and sat down with their grandparents.
The old landlady pointed to the photo frame on the table and talked about the past events of the Zhou family.
Zhou Jianguo's father was an employee of a lumber factory. Unfortunately, he had an accident while on a business trip and fell off a cliff.
At the beginning, the factory treated Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Jianguo quite well.
Unfortunately, things slowly changed.
"The person who just beat my family Jianguo was the brother-in-law of Deputy Factory Director Hu. They were eyeing my three rooms and wanted to kick us out, so they came here every day to cause trouble.
Jianguo's father was never seen alive or dead, and no one in the factory looked after us. Life was difficult.
Jianguo was also targeted by a gangster on the street, who said he wanted to take him to play with him, but in fact he was just stealing things.
If Jianguo doesn't want to, he will be beaten. This child will have a hard life..." After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she wiped her tears with a small handkerchief.
Yuan Ni and the others understood that Zhou Jianguo was brought onto the train by bad guys, so he couldn't steal it.
He can find opportunities to give money to poor people, which shows that his conscience is still intact.
"This..." Grandma started thinking.
According to Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Jianguo is not only not a bad boy, on the contrary, he is also a kind and good boy.
"Then we won't leave and will continue to live here." Grandma quickly made her choice.
"Well, I won't charge you any more money."
"That can't be done. One thing is another thing. Besides, you will have a hard time."
Yuanni and her fourth uncle helped clean the yard, and borrowed a briquette stove to start cooking.
You have to pay a ticket to buy rice and noodles in the city. The landlady said that she could use her food book, but her grandma refused.
The grandfather and grandson are already pitiful enough, how can you take advantage of them again?
"I'll take you to the black market to buy it. I'm familiar with it." Zhou Jianguo suggested awkwardly.
Yuanni tugged at her fourth uncle, "Shall we go?"
"Okay, I'll go with you." The fourth uncle put down his sleeves and didn't fight. He was very civilized.
The old landlady gave them a bamboo basket and said, "Jianguo knows the price and other things and will not let you suffer."
As they walked on the road, Zhou Jianguo began to introduce the market to them. The black market had everything. Grain was [-] to [-]% more expensive than the price at the grain station. Depending on the quality, there were no tickets.
Yuanni nodded, "Besides food, is there anything else?"
She has a bag of gold rings on her, and she has to find a way to get them out.
"We have watches and bicycles. Even if we don't have them that day, Qian Delai can still find a way to get them for you."
Yuan Ni understands that the black market is controlled by gangs. If this is the case, gold rings cannot be exchanged on the black market.
Soon, Zhou Jianguo led them to a small alley. There were people setting up stalls on both sides of the road. It looked like a free market.
"You go buy it, I'll keep an eye on it for you." Zhou Jianguo squatted under the telephone pole and waved to them.
Yuanni discussed with her fourth uncle and quickly bought flour, eggs, salt and oil.
Prices in the provincial capital are more expensive than in Dan County, and since this is a black market, the price is actually half as expensive.
The fourth uncle was very worried. If this continued, he would not be able to afford noodles. Sure enough, would a pot-bellied man like him still have to live in the village?
Yuan Ni didn't think too much. There was a bank on the way back, so she gave the basket to her fourth uncle and asked him to go back with Zhou Jianguo first.
Fourth uncle took the basket and left, but Zhou Jianguo was worried, "Do you know the way?"
"Don't worry, my Ni'er is smart."
Banks in provincial cities are more lenient when exchanging gold. They don't look at the person, but only look at the fineness of the gold. It is fair to determine the fineness.
Yuan Ni exchanged twenty gold rings for more than 5000 yuan. She saved a 5000 yuan passbook and took the remaining change with her. When she has time, she can go around with her grandma and buy whatever she likes. What, don’t worry about money.
It was getting dark, but there were many people in the provincial capital. Yuan Ni walked along the avenue and was about to reach the courtyard of the lumber factory. She saw two people arguing on the roadside, and many people gathered around to watch the fun. .
Yuan Ni hesitated for a moment, then chose a place with fewer people and stood down.
The quarrel was between Yi Wen and Wu. The latter was wearing glasses and his face turned red because of the loud voice.
The warrior was wearing a liberation hat, with the flesh on his face growing sideways, "This piece of jade is a fake. Why, you won't let people return fakes?"
"This was handed down from my ancestors. How could it be a fake?" The glasses scholar stretched out his hand, "If you don't want to buy it, give it to me. Don't waste the ancestors' things."
The forward hat raised his hand high, and tied to the rope was a palm-sized piece of ruby. The ruby was square and had carvings on it, but Yuanni was far away and couldn't see the specific pattern clearly.
"We are all from the Old Qin Dynasty. Who hasn't left something from our ancestors? I saw you wearing glasses and thought you were a gentleman. I didn't expect you to be a liar.
Look, everyone, this is the ruby he sold me for 50 yuan. Look at this side, there are so many spots on it, which is obviously because the color was not evened out when it was clear. "
Real ruby is natural.
Those that need to be colored must be fakes. The jade of poor quality is processed and made into the desired color, so that it can be sold at a high price.
After hearing what the forward hat said, the onlookers immediately became active, but everyone only half understood it, and none of them got to the point.
The glasses scholar was anxious, "If you don't believe it, then return the things to me and don't break them."
"I can refund it to you, but I have to refund the original price."
"That's not possible. There are rules for buying and selling this thing. Return it and get half off."
Antiques are a test of one's discernment. Once bought and sold, they will not be returned or exchanged.
Of course, if you encounter a arrogant buyer like Qianjin Cap, you have to return it to others. However, the glasses writer still sticks to the last stubbornness. According to the rules, returns will be discounted by half.
The forward hat is not a good thing. He snorted and waved his hand casually, and the piece of red jade flew out in a parabola, "Retreat half way? You have to retreat completely."
He saw Hong Yu flying into the air. If it fell to the ground, it would definitely be shattered.
Qianjinhao broke other people's things and still wants money. Isn't this a rogue thing?
The spectacled scholar was heartbroken, "Oh, my ruby..."
The old landlady became anxious, "Jianguo, did you go pickpocketing the train with those people again?"
Zhou Jianguo quickly explained, "Qian De will follow me. I can't go without you. However, I didn't take anyone else's money. I paid them back."
