Xia Qing looked at the jewelry box that appeared in her space, and it really had gold!
Gold chain! Gold bracelet, and gold rings! This should be around 40 or 50 grams!
What’s the current price of gold? Xia Qing couldn’t wait to check on her phone.
The price of gold is 599 yuan per gram! The price of gold has been rising all the way recently!
She should have replaced this broken phone long ago! It’s so laggy that it’s unusable. Her family supported her to go to university, and the tuition wasn’t cheap.
Her parents are farmers, and every penny spent was earned through their hard work.
Later, after graduation, she worked 996 every day, and her salary was only enough to cover rent and daily expenses. Finally, she couldn’t withstand the pressure and came back.
She still remembers calling her mother with a hoarse voice, saying she wanted to go home.
She was actually uneasy, but Yang Xia said excitedly, “Come back! This will always be your home!”
At this moment, Xia Qing looked at the gold jewelry in her hand. These together are estimated to be more than 50 grams!
Xia Qing changed her clothes and went downstairs. Her parents were still working outside, only her Old Grandma was at home.
The Old Lady hunched over and watched Xia Qing ride her electric bike out in a hurry.
The Old Lady stood on the street edge, and after a while, several old ladies walked over.
“Isn’t your granddaughter in the big city? Why is she back?”
“I was just thinking of introducing your granddaughter to someone! He works in the town, has five insurances and one housing fund, looks energetic, and even has a house in the town!” Another old lady wearing red floral cloth said.
Everyone knew that the Xia family only had one daughter. Marrying her would mean taking over the family. The Xia family has housing land and also divided farmland.
Because the Xia family has no sons, they are always ridiculed by the village.
“It wasn’t easy getting her through college, and she came back before even working half a year in the big city!” The Old Grandma Xia became angry at the thought of this.
“It’s hard for girls to work as hard as boys in big cities. It’s probably because she couldn’t make it. Isn’t getting married early a good thing?” An old woman nearby echoed.
The Old Grandma Xia thought, if Xia Qing got married early, then her family’s housing land wouldn’t be taken to the man’s side! And she can’t cheaply give it to outsiders, even to her nephews!
“When that girl comes back, I’ll tell her to go on a blind date and see.”
“The girls of this age in our village already have kids who can fetch soy sauce! Your granddaughter needs to hurry.”
The reason why Xia Qing didn’t want to come back was also because the people in the village were gossipy, but her parents were her greatest source of confidence to return!
Many people in the village mocked them, but Xia Qing’s parents had always protected her since she was a child!
It took Xia Qing nearly 40 minutes to ride her electric bike from the village to the town. She went directly to the Gold shop in the town.
Then she sold all the jewelry in the box.
“The price for recycling gold is lower,” the counter lady said.
“But, your style is quite novel, why are you selling it?”
This is a style from another time and space, so of course it is very rare here.
She suddenly thought, if she put it on the internet to sell, would it be higher? But she’s short on money right now, so she needs to exchange it for some money first and buy some equipment.
At least she has to buy a computer and replace her phone at home.
“I’m a little short on funds right now! I bought this at a high price in the big city,” Xia Qing said without changing her expression.
The female owner of the counter smiled and calculated with a calculator.
“The current price of gold is 599, which is the national standard. The recycling price is 499. Because your style looks good, I’ll give you 550 per gram.”
Xia Qing knew that the recycling price would definitely be cheaper.
“Okay!” Xia Qing nodded in agreement. She will buy some food, and then the space will find her more gold.
The female boss showed her the calculator and said, “It’s a total of 55 grams, at 550 each, that’s a total of yuan. Do you want WeChat or Alipay?”
“Alipay, please!”
There will also be interest if it is placed in Alipay.
“Alipay received yuan.”
Xia Qing looked at the numbers in her phone with great joy, her heart pounding.
Her Alipay used to have only a few thousand yuan at most, but now it directly has tens of thousands.
She was very excited about making a small fortune!
But Xia Qing didn’t forget the most important thing, and quickly purchased supplies for Su Yu in the other world. She went to the supermarket and bought instant noodles, self-heating pots, compressed biscuits, mineral water, and also went to the pharmacy to buy some medicines.
She found a deserted place and put all the things she just bought into the space.
A third of her savings had already been spent.
Then she went straight to the big shopping mall in the town and bought three mobile phones.
She bought a smartphone for herself and each of her parents.
Her parents used to use Old Grandma phones, and the signal was often bad. Now she replaced them all with new smartphones.
She also bought clothes and shoes for her parents, maternal grandparents, and also purchased a computer for daily work and drawing.
The computer included delivery, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to bring back so many things on her electric bike.
It was already one o’clock after shopping, and she ate rice noodles and bought fried chicken in the town.
Ding-a-ling.
Xia Qing’s phone rang. She glanced at the number and it was her mother’s call.
“Qingqing, where did you go? Why haven’t you come back for dinner? I stewed meat for you,” Xia mother said.
“I’m in the town, I’ll go back right away!”
After hanging up the phone, looking at the things she bought today, she felt beautiful. It feels so good to have money to spend!
It was already three or four o’clock when she returned home in the afternoon.
The old ladies at the Village head like to gather here at this time, chattering about whose gossip.
“Isn’t that the daughter of the old Xia family? Why is she buying so many things?”
“What a waste of money, who can afford to marry her?”
“Girls who come back from big cities are just different.”
Several old ladies chatted, and soon they saw the daughter of the Sun family next door returning in a car.
And began a new round of chatting about gossip.
“Isn’t that the Sun family’s daughter? She’s already driving a car?”
“Their daughter married into the city and opened a small restaurant, making a lot of money!”
Xia Qing rode her electric bike back home. The electric bike was almost out of power. She had quickly charged it once in the town at noon.
When she has money, she will also buy a car, but she must first learn to drive! She will have her parents take the test later!
Xia Qing walked into the yard with large and small bags. Yang Xia was feeding chickens in the yard, while Xia father was sawing wood.
“Qingqing, why are you only back now? I left you food in the house!” Yang Xia said happily when she saw Xia Qing coming back.
Seeing that Xia Qing was carrying a lot of things in her hands, she quickly walked over to help, and said, “Where did you go to buy so many things?”
