"Old turtle, give me this piece of ancient jade?!"

Zhang Yilong couldn't believe his ears. He never expected that the old turtle would make such a plan. You must know that the piece of jade is his most cherished piece of collection. He usually treats it as a treasure and no one else will touch it, even if it is touched.

They are the closest family members.

"Yes, this way you can rest assured when borrowing money, and I feel at ease. After all, five hundred thousand is not a small amount of money, and it cannot be lent to others casually. I think it was not easy for you to get that money. For

I want to give you a guarantee so that we can return the money to you as soon as possible. I will temporarily entrust this jade pendant to your hands. If we really can’t pay back the money, then this jade pendant will be yours. Xiaolong, you

Weren't you very optimistic about this piece of jade before?" The old turtle said without hesitation, every word was solemn and not said casually.

"I am very optimistic about this piece of jade. I used to like it. To tell you the truth, I am very excited when I see it now because I have never seen such a beautiful piece of ancient jade. It must be the best among the best.

It's worth a lot!" Zhang Yilong nodded heavily and said, "But... this is your most beloved collection! Forget it, old turtle, how can I have the nerve to take this thing from you? I'll lend it to you.

It comes from the bottom of my heart and I just want to solve your family’s urgent needs.”

Zhang Yilong had admired the jade pendant "dragon and phoenix present auspiciousness" more than once before. He liked it very much. He dreamed of finding one in the antique market, or collecting one for collection when he had money in the future. But in the end, it was just a sweet dream. He could only

Just think about it.

In fact, Zhang Yilong shamelessly asked Lao Turtle to lend him the jade pendant for a few days because a small collection association he participated in held a "treasure fighting competition" and he wanted to come up with a comparative piece.

He wanted to bring good things to the competition to increase his chances of showing up, but that time the old turtle decisively rejected him and was angry with him for a long time.

Unexpectedly, not long after, this dream came true. Zhang Yilong did not borrow something from Lao Turtle to "show off", but Lao Turtle took the initiative to entrust the thing to him.

"Xiaolong, I know, but I have my own thoughts. If it weren't for Xiaohai's resettlement, I wouldn't do this." The old turtle said in a heavy tone, "Our whole family has worked hard for this house.

I have been busy for nearly half a year, and I have really racked my brains. Now that I have finally found a more suitable house, how can I let him go to waste? I can rest assured that I will leave the things in your hands, and if it is as low as 600,000,

If I sell it at a lower price, it will ruin my decades of hard work!”

Zhang Yilong nodded and said: "Old turtle, I can understand your mood. I think your wife and your son have misunderstood you. You actually love this family very much, but you are just not good at expressing it. Well, now that you have done it

I can't help you with such a decision. You can keep this piece of jade with me. Don't worry, I will keep it well. If anything goes wrong, I am willing to pay you the highest price you think.

Compensate!”

Lao Turtle is a very persistent person with a stubborn temper. His words are like water thrown out. He will never regret it, and it is difficult for others to convince him. Under this situation, Zhang Yilong has no choice but to "accept it with a smile"

"Let's collect that exquisite piece of ancient jade on behalf of the other party.

As for the value of that jade, Zhang Yilong has no doubts. It must be worth more than one million. It is rare to see such eye-catching jade in the ancient jade market now.

"Xiaolong, let me tell you a secret, it's about this piece of jade." The old turtle carefully picked up the piece of jade and said in detail, "This piece of jade has a story, and it contains a sweet and sad story.

Love story. When I found it, I was just in my early twenties, but I followed my father’s last wish and was particularly interested in collection and appraisal. However, at that time, I had no funds to open an antique shop and collect it at high prices.

To get things, the only thing we can do is 'buy goods' and 'shovel land' everywhere.

"One winter, it was extremely cold. A friend and I went to the countryside to grab things. Who knew we met a mother and daughter on the way? The mother was about the same age as us. She was shivering in the cold wind, and her child

She was only a few months old and was in her infancy. We didn't pay much attention at that time, but the woman kept following us. She said she was cold and hungry, and because she hadn't eaten for a long time, she had no milk.

He couldn't squeeze it out or feed the child, who kept crying. If it continued like this, the child would probably starve to death. He asked us if we had anything to eat. Seeing how pitiful the mother and daughter were, I gave them the only dry food I had.

She gave it all to her, but she also said that she didn't have a penny left on her and that without the money, she would not be able to find her husband alive who lived in the big city. She said a lot. It turned out that her husband was a mountaineer.

An educated youth who went to the countryside fell in love with her and soon had a baby. Everything was happy and perfect at first, but her husband cut off contact with her after returning to the city. She waited hard for more than a year.

The baby was also born, but there was still no news from her husband. She was unwilling to accept it, so she took the baby and followed the only clue in Shanghai to find her lover.

"Hearing this, you may think that the rural woman is stupid. My friend thought so too. He joked in front of the woman that your husband has probably forgotten you two by now. He has a new lover.

, I am in a relationship with others, and your presence like this will only destroy other people's families, and you will be looked down upon by others. But the woman refused to believe it, and he even scolded my friend, saying that his husband loved her very much, not her.

If you don’t want to marry, my friend said disapprovingly. If your life is almost gone, why do you still love? He has seen many people who are in trouble and then give up. How can there be such a loyal love in this world? Damn it! My friend doesn’t want to

Help him, but my heart was too soft. Even if I didn’t pity the silly woman, I still wanted to think about the hoarse child crying in her arms, so I gave her almost all the money I had.

She paid for her to find her husband and realize her love dream. Before leaving, she handed me a jade pendant as collateral, saying that one day she would come to me with her husband and her children.

, redeem that jade pendant. I believe it!

"After the woman gave me the jade pendant, my friend regretted it, because we are both blind. This is authentic ancient jade. Such a beautiful piece of jade could be sold for a sky-high price at that time.

Come on, in other words, I made a mistake and made a fortune, which made my friend very jealous, but he had no choice. Who told him to dismiss the woman's behavior at that time? But many years later

, the woman never showed up, and he didn’t come to me at the address I gave her. Later, whenever I chatted with that friend, he said that the woman might have died on the way to find her husband, and that her child was also very young.

It’s hard to survive, but I don’t know why. I always believe that the mother and daughter are still alive. Just as she promised, one day they will appear in front of me and ask for the thing that represents their faithful love. I think if the mother and daughter

If she is still alive, her daughter must be very big, right? Xiaolong, what do you think? This is why I like this jade so much and have been reluctant to sell it. If I sell it, then I will invisibly carry a

How can you feel complacent about a debt of gratitude? You must have a conscience. You can be greedy, but you can't be unconscionable. Kaizi is a profiteer who has no conscience and no morals. If it weren't for him, Xiaobin's family would not have ended up like that...

…”

…

The old turtle talked a lot about the piece of jade. Zhang Yilong kept pricking up his ears and listened carefully. He was indeed a little touched by this story. Although he was in the antique shop, he heard stories every day, whether they were true or false.

It was difficult to tell, but he believed the story that the old turtle had just revealed from the beginning. After all, it was a secret that the old turtle had always buried in his stomach.

"There is true love in the world!" After listening, Zhang Yilong said with emotion, "Old turtle, if this story hadn't come from your mouth, I wouldn't have believed it. It was too sensational.

It's a bit of a fight, but I don't question it at all. You did the right thing, and you have to have a clear conscience. Otherwise, even if you get a lot of benefits, you won't have peace of mind. Since you agreed to that woman, then

We have to wait for this day to come."

"Xiaolong, do you believe they will come to me again?" the old turtle asked with a smile.

Zhang Yilong nodded and said: "As for whether your friend believes it or not, I don't know, but I believe it. Collecting is not just about collecting dead things, but also about collecting the touching background and story behind each thing. Only in this way can you be interested in collecting.

That makes sense!”

"Xiaolong, I didn't expect that you would have such insights at such a young age. It's really not easy!" The old turtle said happily, "Okay, I'll put the things away, you can take them, unless the woman and her husband

Come and find me, or you can pay your debt back to our house and then give it to me."

As he spoke, he packed up the brocade box and stuffed the items into Zhang Yilong's hands. Zhang Yilong was not polite and accepted them generously.

"Old turtle, now you can go to the bank with me." Zhang Yilong said immediately.

The old turtle said, "What am I going to do? Just ask Xiaoqin to go with you. I don't have enough money to buy a house."

"Oh, that's okay too." Zhang Yilong nodded in agreement without thinking.

…

"Mom, why does Xiaolong suddenly have so much money?!"

At the same time, in the living room outside Lao Turtle's collection room, Xiaoqin asked with a look of surprise.

"How do I know?" Aunt Lu shook her head and replied, "I also feel strange. Didn't he often borrow money from our family in the past? Why did he become rich all of a sudden?! This is incredible, isn't it?! But no matter what

So, since he is willing to lend us money to solve the problem of your house, that would be great!"

"That's right, we have to thank him very much! He saved my life and Xiaohai's life. Without this house, I feel like dying!" Xiaoqin said very excitedly.

While they were talking, the door to Lao Turtle's room suddenly opened, and Zhang Yilong walked out calmly.

"Xiaolong, are you out?" Aunt Lu and Xiaoqin greeted each other with smiles. Aunt Lu was even more enthusiastic and said hurriedly, "This person changes so quickly. Xiaolong, you are promising now, Auntie."

So happy for you!"

"Aunt Lu, you're flattered, I'm just messing around." Zhang Yilong smiled and said, "Xiao Qin, are you free now? Follow me to the bank and I'll transfer the money to you."

"Well, okay!" Xiaoqin nodded quickly and agreed.

After a while, Zhang Yilong took Xiaoqin to a bank near their community. Zhang Yilong lent Xiaoqin and his family 500,000 yuan and also withdrew 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in cash, because the previous banknotes were almost used.

Be prepared.

"Xiaolong, my dad just called me. He asked you to go to our house quickly. He has something very important to talk to you about, but he didn't have time to explain clearly what it was, so you'd better go to my house with me first.

Let’s go.”

Little did they know that as soon as everything was done, Xiaoqin hurriedly informed Zhang Yilong.
