I am puzzled by Niu Tongtong's attitude towards this matter. Although she has a good temperament and personality, she does not seem to be an uninitiated person. She is undoubtedly treating her marriage as a child's play.
Could it be that she, like my brother, was coerced by the family
Although I have a very good impression of Niu Tongtong, I can marry Niu Tongtong. Not only do we do not know each other, but she is my brother's wife now. Even if she is named but not real, she always feels awkward.
There is no wonder in the world, how can this new thing happen in my house
I said, "Let me consider this matter."
My dad nodded and said, "Okay, maybe your brother will be back then."
Can he come back? I hope so.
In any case, the hardest thing to endure is over, and people always have to look forward. Three days later, my dad sold my last eight rounds. My dad started to run freight again and called Zhang Xiaohai over to be his replacement driver. I don’t have a job to eat, and I always have to find another way out, otherwise I will really become a mixed food and wait for death.
The first way I thought of to get money was to sell the old radio and rough jadeite. The old radio is on the big eye, I am not in a hurry, anyway, I still owe him 20,000 yuan. The key is still the rough stone. Because of an accident in my family, this matter has been delayed again and again. Now that I am free, I naturally have to deal with this matter first.
It is said that things must be reversed. Recently, there has been such a big incident in my family. My expectations for the value of the rough stone are still quite high. If it is really possible to cut out the jade, the value is 1.8 million, I will turn over without a moment.
We got in touch with Master Liu from the car repair shop, and while he was resting, I drove to the gambling market in the provincial capital with him, and met Mr. Ma, an expert in identifying rough stones in a small doorway.
Teacher Ma is more than 50 years old, very refined, quite like a university professor.
He first squeezed the heart-shaped rough stone in his hand, and then used a stone cutter to cut a coin-sized hole in the rough stone. After looking at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, his face was also uncertain.
I felt nervous and sweaty on the palms of my hands, for fear that he said the stone was worthless.
After a long time, Teacher Ma said: "This is a piece of material and a water stone, and the context is not very clear. In our jargon, it is not considered a rise, but only when it is cut. So I want to know that the value must be cut completely. ."
"Then please cut it up," I said.
Teacher Ma sat behind the coffee table and drank a sip of tea, and said, "Your piece of material can be very gambled.
not worth. Do you think this will work, I will give you two thousand yuan and you will sell it to me. "
"How much is it worth if you hit it?"
"It's hard to say, it depends on what is cut out. Five or six thousand is it, and fifty or six thousand is also it."
I hesitated a little. Master Liu said that Teacher Ma is an expert in this area. Since the expert is willing to pay for the purchase, he must have seen the value of the raw materials.
Is it really worth two thousand
Before I came here, I also checked the information about gambling on stones, and said that one can cut the rich or the poor all at once. What if Teacher Ma lied to me? If I insist on cutting it, the jade inside is good material, what if he tells me it's not worth the money
After thinking about it, I think it’s better to be cautious. It’s better to shop around. Now that you have already come, you can also go to other stone cutting shops to avoid being taken advantage of.
I said: "I'll consider the exam first, and I will answer you tomorrow."
Master Liu said: "Master Ma, do you think this will work, if you really like this raw material, then you need to add some money."
Master Ma pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I'm adding one thousand."
Good guy, let him add a little money, and he immediately raised it by a thousand, which is really messy.
Master Liu looked at me and asked, "Chen An, three thousand yuan is a lot. Sell it. If it's really worthless, you won't have time to regret it."
Look at the price of a piece of stone of the same size as mine on the shelf in the store. The price is 38 thousand. If it is cut out, it is not worth more than a hundred thousand
I said, "I'm still thinking about it."
After sitting in the store for a while, Master Liu and I left the gambling shop. I told Master Liu that I wanted to go to other stores and asked about the market. I said, "Master Liu, don’t worry about it, I can’t believe it. You. Just want to know it well."
"Okay, it's here anyway, it doesn't hurt to ask more."
I entered four stores in a row. Three of them only cut and sell stones, but did not accept them. I asked them to see how much the stones are worth.
After entering the fourth store, when I explained my intention, the owner took a look at the stone and asked, "Where did you cut your stone?"
I was stunned, because the first three shops also asked me the same question, I did not answer him, but instead asked: "Why do you also ask this question?"
The shop owner chuckled and said, "It seems that you have been in several stores. You go, I can't do your business."
"why?"
"Because there is an unwritten rule for gambling on our street. I was bitten (
Cut) of the stone, others cannot take over. You can only find someone who bit your stone. "
"Why are there such rules?"
"In order to avoid everyone grabbing goods and driving up prices."
"Then can you help me see how much it is worth?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "I can't see it. If you have to sell, you can only find someone who bites your stone, or go to other markets."
I asked him where there is a gambling market, and he told me that I can only go to Henan. To travel to Henan for a stone, if the real value is worth it, if it is only three or two thousand, it will not be worth the loss. And I heard that there are more liars in Henan, and I am a layman, and I will be teased out of the box.
Or go back to Teacher Ma and ask him to raise the price
I left the fourth shop with the mentality of wanting to sell more money, but not wanting to be scammed, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Teacher Ma's shop. Teacher Ma is talking to someone outside the shop.
"Get out, get out..." a urging sound came from behind.
Master Liu hurriedly gave me a hand, and a tricycle passed me by pulling the old windows and doors. Riding the tricycle, the sunlight shone on the glass and hit people's eyes.
Master Liu said: "If you want me to tell me, you can sell this stone to Teacher Ma. Three thousand is three thousand. Anyway, it's a windfall."
"How much is this stone worth in your experience?" I asked.
"I'm also a layman, otherwise my family won't lose money because of betting on rocks."
I thought it could sell for 8 million, but I didn't expect it to sell for 3000. The difference is too big.
Master Liu also said: "If you really want to make a big profit, just cut the stone and take a gamble. If you lose the bet, there is nothing. Winning the bet is definitely more than three thousand yuan."
"Okay, let's find Teacher Ma to cut the stone." If the courageous person is starved to death, then I will take a gamble. Anyway, the kid I picked up is not afraid of falling!
Master Liu and I walked to Teacher Ma's shop together, and halfway through, Teacher Ma found us, and he began to smile and raise his hand to greet us.
At this moment, Teacher Ma suddenly seemed to be pushed down, and planted with garlic under his feet on the road. His unbiased body happened to be lying on the tricycle that had passed us by the old door and window just now.
There were so many people on the street, and immediately crowded with onlookers.
Master Liu and I also rushed over and squeezed into the crowd. It happened to see two people helping Teacher Ma from the tricycle. He was covered with blood, and a piece of meat on his right cheek was almost cut off by glass. The face is drooping, and the blood is pouring...
