Chapter 654 Military Mission
Widow Wu's smiling face suddenly changed.
He became gloomy and ugly, and said coldly: "You want something for money? Do you think it is given to you for free? Our family has raised Xiulan since she was a child. When he dies, if he wants to divide his belongings, he must pay for the funeral expenses."
.”
Gu Yunyao snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and let my daughter-in-law see something. Useless things, even if they are given to us for free, we don't want them."
"Okay, wait!"
Widow Wu twisted her body and walked into the house. After a while, she came out with a flawless white jade Buddha pendant the size of a fingernail in her hand. The pendant was tied with a red thread.
The red string was held in her withered and dirty hands, and she shook the white, delicate and crystal-clear little jade Buddha proudly.
This red thread looks new and adds a lot of color to the exquisitely carved small jade Buddha.
Gu Yunyao was shocked. This little jade Buddha was not simple.
It should be the finest mutton-fat white jade. I wonder what Xiulan’s biological father does?
She didn't dare to show anything strange, and said with an unhappy face: "Who knows if this thing is fake? Give it to my Xiulan and take a good look."
Widow Wu said warily: "Just look at it like this."
Without looking carefully, Wang Xiulan's eye circles instantly turned red.
She has been wearing this since she was a child, and her mother told her to wear it at all times.
But her mother was gone, her stepfather sold her, and he didn't even leave her to miss her.
In the past few years, she had hated and resented her, and never wanted to go back to her parents' home to see her stepfather.
She was not having a good life in her husband's family. She thought she had lost the little jade Buddha and was being punished by God. She endured it day by day without any regrets.
However, when she heard that her stepfather was dead, she couldn't help crying.
Not only did I cry because my stepfather was gone, but I also cried that my hope of regaining the Little Jade Buddha was shattered.
Now, how could she not be excited when she finally saw the little jade Buddha that she had been dreaming about.
My mother-in-law was right, she was too soft-hearted and she tried her best to hold back her emotions.
Yesterday, this arrogant woman came to our door, and she actually felt sorry for them.
If my stepfather had not died, I would definitely forgive him.
She is so stupid!
Now that her stepfather is gone, this woman actually uses the Little Jade Buddha to plot against her.
She reached out and touched the Little Jade Buddha with mixed emotions, and it still felt like it had grown since she was little.
Although they have been separated for several years, this feeling seems to be engraved in my mind.
She looked at her mother-in-law with longing eyes, "Mom, it's true!"
Gu Yunyao sighed. She had told her daughter-in-law not to show anything, but the child still didn't hold back.
Looking at the joy in Widow Wu's eyes, you can tell that her daughter-in-law's expression makes this woman very satisfied.
Fortunately, I have a way to cope with it.
Gu Yunyao sneered, "I'm the head of the Lu family. It doesn't matter what my daughter-in-law says. If it's too expensive, I won't pay for it. You bid!"
Widow Wu's triangular eyes shook a few times, and she said in a winning tone: "I think Xiulan likes this thing, so as a mother-in-law, don't be so stingy."
"Without further ado!"
Wang Xiulan realized that she had lost her composure and subconsciously leaned closer to her husband.
A greedy smile appeared on Widow Wu's face, and she said with shining triangular eyes: "I am not a bad person. You can get me a good coffin, bury me in style, plus a banquet, and my pension money, the total will be
Five hundred yuan."
The onlookers listened for a long time and figured out the identity of the visitor.
Some people knew Wang Xiulan and sympathized with her.
The house built by her biological mother fell into the hands of Widow Wu. She was sold and even called back to peel off the skin again.
They gasped, something the size of a fingernail is worth five hundred dollars?
Widow Wu was obviously a big talker, she even asked Xiulan to pay for her pension.
Gu Yunyao knew that jade was not valuable in this era, and such a carving was only worth ten or twenty yuan.
There is still a price but no market, no one spends money to buy such useless things.
The other party made a bid, and she had to counteroffer.
"Fifty yuan!" This was her bottom line. She didn't want to go to extremes if things could be resolved peacefully.
"Are you kidding? Five hundred yuan will buy you something!"
Widow Wu saw the importance Wang Xiulan attached to the Little Jade Buddha and thought she was sure to win over the Lu family.
