Mrs. Guo did not reject Chen Jing's proposal to 'borrow' more money, but she offered to give him something as collateral or sell it to him directly.

This made Chen Jing a little surprised. He could see that Mrs. Guo was a very principled person. Since she said she wanted to pledge something to him, it was estimated that the thing was of some value. Otherwise, Mrs. Guo would not have said that, nor would she

Will agree to let Chen Jing 'lend' money to her again.

"Xiao Chen, if you don't want a mortgage, then I won't lend you money." Mrs. Guo had a smile on her face that couldn't be said to be happy or anything.

Chen Jing sighed secretly, this old lady is really...

Old Mrs. Guo obviously saw what Chen Jing was thinking. He had never thought about asking Old Mrs. Guo and Guo Xiaosong to repay the money together. He was just looking for an excuse.

But Mrs. Guo is really stubborn, or principled. She must be short of money now, but even so, she doesn't want the money Chen Jing gave her out of sympathy.

"Let's go, old lady." Chen Jing said helplessly.

Guo Xiaosong seemed very happy when he saw Chen Jing agreeing: "Brother, our home is right next to it, not far away."

Later, Mrs. Guo and Guo Xiaosong led the way to their home in a leisurely manner.

Deng Yu walked beside Chen Jing and whispered: "This old lady Guo is really admirable. I will give you some money later." There was some emotion in his words.

In fact, the vast majority of people in this world are kind-hearted. Even though some people are obviously having a hard time, they can't see the suffering of others.

So, the world is still beautiful.

Chen Jing smiled when he heard this and said, "Then you have to think of an excuse to give it, otherwise Mrs. Guo will definitely not want it."

"Well, that's true." Deng Yu's face showed a bit of distress.

Mrs. Guo and Guo Xiaosong live very close to Jiegao Yucheng, on a nearby old street. The houses here were all built in the last century. They are all low-rise bungalows with a very poor environment, and most of them

They are all dilapidated buildings.

Fortunately, although the place where Mrs. Guo and Guo Xiaosong lived was quite shabby, it was not considered dangerous. It was just a small bungalow with a main room and a small room.

In the corner of the main room, there are a lot of scraps such as paper shells of mineral water that can be sold for money. There is an old but clean dining table and a few stools. Other than that, there is no furniture.

"Brother, uncle, please sit down."

Guo Xiaosong first helped Mrs. Guo sit down, then took two stools and placed them next to Chen Jing and Deng Yu.

"Thank you." Chen Jing smiled and thanked.

Deng Yu was a little sighing and surprised. He didn't have a good impression of Guo Xiaosong because of yesterday's incident, but now he also discovered that this child is actually quite sensible.

Chen Jing was actually not surprised at all about this.

Children from poor families become masters early, this saying is true most of the time.

Suffering and poverty are the best ways for people to grow, and Chen Jing himself is the same.

As for Guo Xiaosong's cellphone theft yesterday, he was actually just driven into panic and desperately wanted to protect his last support and relatives.

"Xiao Song, go pour water for the two guests." Mrs. Guo was still a little weak. After sitting down, she took a breath and spoke again.

Guo Xiaosong responded and ran to the small room next to him to pour water.

"Xiao Chen, you are a good boy, but I can't take your money for nothing. You can either mortgage that thing or buy it." Mrs. Guo looked at Chen Jing again and said seriously.

Chen Jing asked in confusion: "Old lady, what exactly is this thing?"

"Well, it's a Buddha statue. It's made of jade. Our place is close to Myanmar. People in Myanmar believe in Buddhism. My wife often went to Myanmar to do business when he was young. Later, he started to believe in Buddhism along with the people there.

I spent a lot of money to buy the Jade Buddha from there."

"Ahem, old lady, although I don't understand jade, that jade Buddha should be worth a lot of money. I've had a hard time in the past few years, so I didn't sell it. First, I don't understand, and Xiao Song

It’s too young, and I’m afraid that people will lie to us, and secondly, I want to save it as a last resort to save my life.”

Chen Jing nodded when he heard the words, and said to himself that sure enough, given the character of this old lady Guo, since she said she wanted to give him something as collateral, it must be of some value.

Guo Xiaosong came out with two glasses of water and handed them to Chen Jing and Deng Yu obediently.

"Xiao Song, go and bring the jade Buddha beside grandma's bed to big brother, and bow before taking it." Mrs. Guo said again.

"okay."

Guo Xiaosong responded and ran into the room briskly. Grandma would not die if she took the medicine. He was really happy.

Soon, Guo Xiaosong walked out holding a jade Buddha and handed it to Chen Jing.

The moment Chen Jing saw the jade Buddha, his expression became serious and serious.

The Jade Buddha is about fifteen centimeters tall. Judging from the carving marks, it is obviously made of solid jade. It is crystal clear and white and seems to have no flaws.

If this jade Buddha is made of real jade, then it may be a good piece of jade.

Chen Jing carefully took the Jade Buddha. It felt warm and cool to the touch, and was very delicate, even with a sense of warmth. He took a closer look at the Jade Buddha as a whole and found that there were almost no flaws.

These characteristics made Chen Jing think of a very famous and fine jade.

Mutton fat white jade.

Mutton-fat white jade is also called mutton-fat jade. As the name suggests, it is a jade that looks like freshly cut fat sheep. It is also a high-quality variety of Hetian jade white jade.

Its characteristics are that it is particularly delicate, bright, and moist, and the fine mutton-fat white jade is almost flawless.

"Xiao Chen, this jade Buddha should be enough to mortgage the 10,000 yuan you lent us, right?" Mrs. Guo asked when she saw Chen Jing looking at it carefully.

When Chen Jing heard this, he said with some surprise: "Old lady, please wait for me to take a closer look. This jade Buddha of yours may not cost 10,000 yuan."

The value of mutton-fat jade is very high, and it is still sold in grams. The specific price per gram depends on the quality. Some excellent mutton-fat jade can be sold for tens of thousands of grams per gram, and even after hype and marketing,

There are higher prices.

Although Chen Jing didn't know much about jade, he could tell that the mutton-fat jade used for the jade Buddha in front of him was definitely not bad.

Moreover, apart from the jade, Chen Jing was a little surprised by the craftsmanship of the jade Buddha itself, because it did not look like modern craftsmanship.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing directly used his treasure appraising eyes.

Golden light emerged, circled around the Jade Buddha several times, and then returned to Chen Jing's eyes and turned into rows of identification words.

"This object is: a jade Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, the tin-robed king of the Gongbang Dynasty in Miandian!"

"Historical value of this object: Gongbang Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Myanmar; also translated as Jiya Dynasty, Anupaya Dynasty or Rui Mao Dynasty, Ruibo Dynasty; this dynasty advocated expansionism and once dominated the Indochina Peninsula; in the early stage, the national power was weak.

It was weak, with developed agriculture, high manufacturing technology, and a prosperous economy, but it was later dragged down by perennial expansion wars, especially in the wars with China, Xia and the Qing Dynasty. Although they repelled the Qing army, their national power was completely consumed."

"This jade Buddha statue of Sakyamuni was made at the end of the Gongbang Dynasty. Its artistic style is biased toward ancient times, with a square and plump face, exquisite facial features, expressive eyes, graceful shape, vivid pleats, and a necklace and beads on the chest.

The carvings are extremely exquisite and delicate.”

"In general, this jade Buddha statue of Sakyamuni is made with fine craftsmanship and has unique Burmese artistic features. It is rare and has been handed down from generation to generation. In addition, it is made of the best mutton-fat white jade overall, which further enhances its overall value. It is truly a treasure.
