Princess, I am really a good person

Chapter 88 I sold a watch

“I want to report this store for using child labor!”

Zhou Mingyi angrily threw the rag into the basin and sat down on the ground.

Luo Yuxian was squatting on the ground and wiping the floor with a rag.

It's so embarrassing. I took my girl out to eat but didn't bring any money and was left to wash dishes to pay for the meal. This happened to me.

But how could he have thought that his several thousand yuan would now be a pile of waste paper, and he might even be arrested for using it as counterfeit money if he misused it.

"Geez, why did this unfortunate thing happen to me?" He thought to himself as he scratched his hair.

Luo Yuxian came over and picked up the rag in the basin. Without saying anything, she silently helped him wash the remaining dishes.

Zhou Mingyi didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only accept his fate and wash the dishes with her.

The arrogant boss opened the door and walked in.

"Okay, it's almost evening, you can go back."

He held a wrapped small cake in his hand and said to them: "You are tired, take it."

Zhou Mingyi reached out to take it with some surprise: "Uncle, you are quite a nice person."

But the boss raised his hand and walked around him.

"Did I tell you it was for you? You really thought I didn't hear those words you scolded me just now, right?" He walked around Zhou Mingyi and put the small cake into Luo Yuxian's hand.

"You, this sister, are more sensible than you. You spend the money you picked up from nowhere, and you even brought your sister with you. I want your father to give you two feet."

"If you are hungry in the future, just say it. Who will not give a child a meal? If you meet someone else, I will punish you. If you meet someone else, I will send you two to the security team!" The boss! He lectured them in a rough voice.

"Thank you, uncle..." Luo Yuxian whispered while holding the cake.

The boss snorted.

"Okay, go home quickly and don't let your family worry."

When they went out, the sky was filled with sunset, and the two of them walked under the sunset.

"Brother, this is for you."

Luo Yuxian handed the small cake to Zhou Mingyi.

"You keep it, I don't like sweets." Zhou Mingyi said while looking aside.

He scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Don't tell others what happened today."

"No, I, I'm not blaming my brother." Luo Yuxian said hurriedly,

"Since, since my mother left, no one has given me a bath or eaten with me. I am so happy today." A real smile appeared on her face, but she quickly became panicked again. :
  "Um, brother, do you really have nothing to ask me to do?"

"Really not, go back quickly." Zhou Mingyi pinched the bridge of his nose.

They returned to the foster home and now the carers were busy with dinner.

"Well, I'll leave first. Thank you, brother, for accompanying me today." Luo Yuxian said.

"Go? Where are you going?"

"They, they won't be happy to see me."

She raised her head, seemed to see something, and lowered her head in a hurry.

Zhou Mingyi turned around and saw Chu Chengfu looking down on the balcony of the villa. When he saw Luo Yuxian, he had a look of boredom on his face.

After two seconds of silence, Zhou Mingyi raised his hand and tucked the long hair around Luo Yuxian's face behind his ears.    "Be more clean, girl, it's outrageous to be so dirty."

Luo Yuxian nodded, said goodbye to her brother, and turned back to her utility room.

The next day, Zhou Mingyi went to the town early. After shopping for a long time, he found a pawn shop with antique decoration.

Seeing the facade was fine, he walked in.

Ever since he found out yesterday that his wallet was completely full of waste paper, he had begun to worry about his expenses.

The foster home provides food and accommodation, but after all, it doesn't last long. If something happens and he has to run away, he has to take money with him. But it's not easy for him to make money now that he has a child's body. Just when he doesn't know what to do. When he was walking, he noticed the watch on his wrist.

This was one of the items that Mr. Zhou Yuan bought for him when he first entered the Zhou family. Although Zhou Mingyi didn't understand watches, he saw that there were diamonds on it, so it must be worth a lot of money, so why not give it to him first? In order to exchange for some money, a cheap watch can be used anyway.

The counter of this pawn shop was filled with a variety of objects, including porcelain, jade, sculptures, and some foreign luxury goods. Zhou Mingyi saw a counter with a bunch of watches of various styles.

Behind the counter, an old man wearing small round glasses, a melon cap and a goatee was lying leisurely on a recliner. The radio beside him was singing an opera. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his body and looked at Zhou Mingyi. Come over.

"Little baby, what did you do here?" he asked.

"Take it as a thing." Zhou Mingyi stood on tiptoe and placed the watch on the glass counter.

The pawn shop owner raised his small round glasses and held up the watch.

"Is this your dad's?" He looked at Zhou Mingyi with a surprised expression.

"Ah, well, my dad asked me to sell my business and save money to find a wife for me." Zhou Mingyi started talking nonsense.

The old man put on and took off his glasses, put on a high-precision cylindrical magnifying glass, and examined it carefully.

Zhou Mingyi silently put on the Heart Stealer Necklace. He really didn’t know anything about this kind of thing. He wouldn’t know if the other party was ruthlessly killing him. But fortunately, he had this thing. He knew exactly what he was thinking. .

The old man's voice came over:
  "Three circles of baguette diamond blue steel hands. The strap should be made of fired snapping turtle leather with diamonds. It is very new and highly polished. It is a good thing. The design of this monthly dial is probably from the brand of Kerang. It is worth it. Twenty to thirty thousand, wait a minute, this signature. LS Cole, is this a handmade model from the watch master Cole? But I have never seen him make this model? But this signature and production process do not look like imitations. , could it be a privately customized model? Oh, my dear mother, this is incredible. Then this is worth at least 80,000 to 90,000 yuan. If sold to those collectors, it can be doubled at least! My dear mother, this is What does the child’s father do to have such a thing? Well, it seems like he doesn’t know how to do it, otherwise he wouldn’t just let the child come here.”

Zhou Mingyi really admired the other party's ability to have such intense inner activities but remain calm on the outside.

The old man coughed, put down his watch, curled his lips, and said to him:

"It's a hundred for street stall goods."

Zhou Mingyi almost brought him down. You can pay 100 for something worth hundreds of thousands! You didn't cut off the aorta, you just crushed the bones and spread the ashes, right?
  Zhou Mingyi twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Thank you, grandpa, I understand," he said, about to pick up the watch.

"Hey! Didn't you want to do it? Don't do it now?" The old man grabbed him anxiously.

"It's too little. Dad said that if the money is too little, it's better to use it as a souvenir. Thank you grandpa for the estimate. I will tell dad when I get back." Zhou Mingyi said with a smile.

He saw the old man's dark eyes flicker twice, and then he showed a kind smile: "In this case, I will show you again."

So he pretended to look at it for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Well, actually, this watch is not bad. It is a souvenir and can be worth three or four thousand. In this way, if I pay five thousand, the more will be treated as... How about giving money to your future wife, my wife?"

"Huh? It's still missing. It's inappropriate." Zhou Mingyi said and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute! So, little kid, if you think it's less, then you can tell yourself how much is appropriate!" the old man said, patting the table.

"Well," Zhou Mingyi thought for a moment, "maybe one million."

"One million! You kid is just dreaming! This thing is worth a hundred thousand yuan. If you can get one million yuan, just grab it from my old man!" The old man cursed angrily.

"Oh, okay, then one hundred thousand." Zhou Mingyi said to him with a smile.

Lao Deng was stunned for a moment, let out a cry, and slapped the old melon seeds in frustration.
  "Oh, I'm such an old fool."
