Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

The shopkeeper took the silver hairpin and his eyes lit up. Don't underestimate this silver hairpin. The workmanship is very exquisite and ingenious, and the design is novel. The key is that there is a ruby ​​the size of a bean set on the head of the hairpin.

I don't know if this woman knows her stuff or not, let's try making a price first.

"You're just an ordinary silver hairpin, worthless. How about I give you ten taels of silver?"

"No, give me back the silver hairpin."

"How about this, add another 2 taels, making it 12 taels in total. This is the highest price I can offer."

When Liu Yiyue saw him raise the price, and the price he offered was the same as that of the gold bracelet, she didn't expect that this silver hairpin would be more valuable than the gold bracelet. It seems that it does have its own special features.

"No, I'm not satisfied with the price you offered. This silver hairpin was a gift from my sister. She said it cost a lot when she bought it and told me to keep it safe."

I urgently need the money, so I'm thinking of pawning it. If my sister lived far away, I wouldn't need to pawn these things at all; I could just ask her for the money directly.

"Give me the things, and I'll think of another way."

"How much do you want for it? I'll show it to our shopkeeper, and if he thinks the price is right, we'll take it."

Liu Yiyue didn't know how much silver was appropriate, nor did she know how much the silver was worth. The only amount she could think of was 100 taels, which was already a lot. If the shopkeeper couldn't give her 100 taels, she could lower the price a little more.

"100 taels."

When the waiter heard her say 100 taels, he deliberately frowned. "Alright, I'll go and ask our manager to come out."

The waiter went in and told the shopkeeper about the hairpin and Liu Yiyue's situation.

"Shopkeeper, I offered 12 taels, but she won't sell. She wants 100 taels herself. Why don't you go and take a look?"

The shopkeeper followed the shop assistant to the stall, glanced at Liu Yiyue sideways, and then examined the hairpin carefully; it was indeed a fine item.

"Is this hairpin yours?"

"be mine."

"You want 100 taels."

"It costs 100 taels, but you can give me an estimate, and I can pawn it if I think it's a good deal."

"I just heard from the shop assistant that we offered you 12 taels, but you didn't sell. That was indeed too little. Although we are a pawnshop, we do business with integrity."

If you pawn this silver hairpin, I'll give you 60 taels; if you pawn it loosely, I'll give you 30 taels.

If you think it's suitable, then go for it; if you don't, then look elsewhere. Business is about mutual agreement; we never force anything.

Liu Yiyue glanced at the waiter. This waiter was too ruthless. Luckily, she was quick-witted and didn't fall for his tricks.

"I'd rather die than give up 70 taels."

"How about this, we each compromise, and I'll put it at 65 taels. If you like it, then you can take it; if not, we can look elsewhere. We won't haggle anymore."

"Alright, 65 taels it is, I'll take it."

The shop assistant issued a pawn ticket, and the shopkeeper gave him a 50-tael silver note and 15 taels of silver.

"Shopkeeper, could you exchange this silver note for silver? I find it inconvenient to use silver notes."

"Alright, you can have the silver if you want it." The shopkeeper took back the silver note and handed her five 10-tael silver ingots in his money bag.

Liu Yiyue took the money pouch, opened it to check, confirmed that everything was correct, thanked the shopkeeper, and left.

Liu Yiyue clutched the money pouch to her chest. As she was leaving, Huang Lanhua quickly came to greet her, "Girl, how much did you get for that gold bracelet?"

"Mother, I didn't pawn the gold bracelet, I pawned the silver hairpin."

"What? How much is that silver hairpin worth? Is it enough to pay off the debt?"

"Mother, we didn't know the value of things. That gold bracelet wasn't even worth as much as the silver hairpin. The gold bracelet was only pawned for 12 taels of silver, but I got 65 taels for the silver hairpin."

"Mother, let's just say the silver hairpin was pawned for 55 taels. Keep the 10 taels safe, and don't let anyone know."

"My daughter is so thoughtful, always thinking of her mother."

Huang Lanhua stuffed the 10 taels of silver into her bosom. She was very happy. Now she had 20 taels of silver and a gold bracelet. Now that she had money, who was she afraid of? Whether it was her husband's family or her own family, everyone would respect her and fawn over her.

Huang Lanhua hid her money bag under her clothes; it was bulging.

"How much silver did you get for pawning the goods in January?" Old Master Huang asked anxiously.

"55 taels. The gold bracelet is worthless; what I'm pawning is that silver hairpin."

"What! A gold bracelet isn't even worth as much as that silver hairpin? Has the shopkeeper gone mad?"

Huang Lanhua glared at him. "What are you yelling about? Even if the shopkeeper is crazy, he's still smarter than you."

"Go home quickly."

"Big sister, didn't I say I was going to buy jewelry for my wife and them?"

"Why buy jewelry? We can't even afford to eat, and you still want to buy jewelry? Sir, do you know where the grain store is? Let's go buy some grain."

"I know that, I'll take you there."

"Big sister, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm starving! Could you buy me something to eat?"

"Honey, are you hungry too? If we see any steamed buns or mantou for sale later, let's buy some."

"Mom, look, there's a steamed bun shop over there."

Huang Lanhua bought eight meat buns, each costing five coins, for a total of 40 coins.

How long has it been since she last ate steamed buns? They smell so good! Go ahead and eat them; they're yours to keep, better than letting someone else have them.

Huang Lanhua accepted two steamed buns for herself, feeling quite embarrassed. "Uncle, please don't be polite. We've been traveling a long way and are really hungry. Let's eat as we go, buy the food, and hurry back. It looks like it's going to rain."

"Big sister, these two buns aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap."

"Just a little something to tide you over. Go home for dinner. You think you can eat your fill? Do you even have the money?"

"I may not have any money, but you do. After all, you're my sister!"

"Just because I have money doesn't mean you can spend it however you want! Don't you know where my money comes from? Don't push your luck. If you don't want it, give it to me."

"I'll eat, I'll eat, why wouldn't I eat?" Holding two steamed buns in her hand, she took a bite out of each one, and they smelled so good!

He finished his two buns in a few bites, and only took a bite of the old man's bun. "Uncle, you shouldn't have eaten these buns. We've already paid the fare. One bun costs 5 coins, so two buns cost 10 coins. We didn't shortchange you on the fare, but you ate both of our buns."

I noticed you only took one bite after a while. Don't you like it? If you don't like it, give me the one you're holding; I like it.

The old man's face was rather unpleasant. "These steamed buns weren't for me; they were given to me by your older sister. Besides, you didn't pay for the bus fare."

"Even though I didn't pay for the fare, what difference does it make? The money my older sister paid is my money."

"Big sister, don't you think so?"

"Shut your stinking mouth. If you keep babbling on and on, get out of here and walk back yourself."

"Big sister, how could you do this? Helping outsiders bully your own brother?"

Liu Yiyue was speechless at her uncle's behavior. Was he out of his mind? He didn't seem like a grown man at all.

Huang Lanhua bought 20 jin of brown rice and 10 jin of white rice at the grain store, and then hurried back home.

The old man drove the oxcart very fast all the way, and when they arrived at the village entrance, the rain that had been brewing for several days finally fell.

A light drizzle fell silently, and by the time I got home, my clothes and hair were a little wet.

"Big sister, you're finally back! We told you it was raining. What would we have done if you hadn't come back?"

"Come here, take a cloth and wipe yourself down, don't catch a cold."

The rice in the pot is still warm; eat something hot to warm yourself up.

"Sister, have you pawned your jewelry? How much silver did you get?"
