Chapter 1195 - Feeding Solids (1/2)

“don’t be in a hurry to decline. it’s a gamble. even deities couldn’t tell the number of jade in the stone accurately. i was just buying a small item. perhaps there’s nothing in it and it’s just a piece of rock. don’t mind it so much.”

if he had lost in the gamble and really gifted a piece of white stone, no matter how much he had spent on it, it could not be const.i.tuted as bribery.

that person’s att.i.tude was very firm and someone had also carried the stone up.

when he was young, elder lin did not lack money. he also disliked taking advantage of others. in fact, when he heard others introducing the stones, he was optimistic about that stone and thus took a few more glances at it.

anyway, he was not lacking in money and also did not like to take advantage of others. in the end, elder lin accepted this piece of stone. however, he did not spend a single cent from the other party. elder lin forked out the capital of 50,000 yuan on his own.

in the 1990s, it was very spectacular to be able to afford 50,000 yuan.

building two houses would only cost about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. elder lin simply used the money that typical folks could use to build two houses to buy a piece of stone.

elder lin’s luck was also good. he casually bought a piece of stone and got someone to open it on the spot. who knows? he actually earned a lot with one gamble. it was the rare gla.s.s species.

if it was the emerald green imperial jade, elder lin’s luck would be defying the heaven then.

although this piece of jade was not the emerald green imperial jade, elder lin was still the biggest winner among the gamblers on that day.

after getting this piece of jade, elder lin did not sell it as he did not lack the money. instead, he found ways to hire a master with good engraving skills to carve out various pieces of jade and turned them into finished products.

besides these three pieces of jade, elder lin also had rings and bracelets made from that jade in his house.

the most valuable part of the jade would be the center part of it which was beige in color. the master simply carved out a jade longevity peach from it. that longevity peach was the most valuable piece of item.

in comparison with the longevity peach, the three pieces of jade and the bracelets and rings were all considered ‘side dishes’.

due to this jade gamble, elder lin’s wealth grew. those who were aware had publicized this for elder lin. those who were unaware just took it that this was an unfounded rumor and the truth was not as such.

today was the first time that elder lin showed the jade to outsiders. zhai hua was very sensitive and she confirmed that this was the truth and not a rumor.

“little girl, are you good at gambling? you have heard of this before?” elder lin did not deny the existence of this matter. he even admitted it graciously.

zhai hua gave a helpless smile. “i’m a good gambler? aren’t you one who is truly good at gambling? it has been so many years. elder lin, you can really hide things well.” she had initially thought that if elder lin had such good things, he would definitely not be able to endure it during nan nan’s wedding and would insist on giving nan nan something.

to her surprise, elder lin did not give qiao nan any jade on the day the latter married zhai sheng. on the contrary, elder lin took action when the three babies were four months old and showed the items to others. “the three babies are really fortunate.”

when she said this, zhai hua was full of gloat as she looked at qiao nan.

obviously, in elder lin’s heart, the status of the three babies had surpa.s.sed that of qiao nan, this little disciple.

after rubbing er bao’s back, qiao nan discovered that er bao, who had kicked up a fuss for some time, did not perspire much. she then felt more at ease. “sister zhai hua, why do you keep staring at me?” so what if she had been surpa.s.sed? before the three babies were born, she was already mentally prepared to be slapped dead on the beach by them.
