Mengyu was startled. She thought Xiaoya came to her to ask for steamed buns because she was hungry. It turned out that Xiaoya came to ask her for steamed buns because she took Xiaoya's stone.
She suddenly felt a little guilty. She actually took a bun and exchanged it for a priceless hidden gem!
Then look at the old woman who has to wait until she sells her broom to buy even a steamed bun for her granddaughter, which shows how difficult life is.
She sighed and said to the old lady: "Grandma, I bought this stone. Let's go into your house and discuss the price."
The old lady looked at the stone and said: "Girl, if you like this stone, it means that this stone must have its own extraordinary features. However, since my little girl has exchanged a bun for the stone, there is a gap between our family and the stone."
There is no fate anymore. Girl, there is no need to negotiate the price."
Mengyu was startled. This old lady was obviously poor, but she could refuse the temptation of money. This shows that this old lady has a noble character.
She could only say: "There are some other things, let's go into your house to talk about it."
The reason why we wanted to enter the house was really for the safety of the grandparents and grandchildren. If they were trading on the street and someone found out that the grandparents had gained money, it would be a disaster for them rather than a blessing.
"Then please come in." Grandma had no choice but to pick up the child and enter the house.
Mengyu then entered and found that the old woman's house was an exquisite courtyard, a bit like a landlord's house in the old society.
Based on what this old woman did and what she learned from Xiaoya, Mengyu concluded that this old woman must have been born extraordinary.
Moreover, she could also see from the face of this old woman that her closest relative had just died. That person should be her son, and her daughter-in-law should have remarried. Therefore, now only their grandfather and grandson are left in the family.
The difficulty can be imagined.
But this person has her own character and is unwilling to accept unreasonable gifts from others.
She said straight to the point: "Grandma, do you know what is in this stone? The things in this stone are of extraordinary value."
The old woman looked at Mengyu, with contradictions in her eyes.
"Grandma is afraid that she won't be able to protect her even if she gets the money, right? Grandma and I went into the house because we don't want people to know that you got the money."
But the old lady shook her head: "To tell you the truth, my youngest son just died, and my eldest son is a gangster. In order to avoid it, my youngest daughter-in-law had to remarry to escape. There is no place to hide money at home. Once he finds me using money, he will come to me."
The money was searched in the house. Even if it was stored in the bank, as long as he found it, he would still ask me to take it out and take it away."
Mengyu didn't expect that the old lady's house would be in such a situation.
She was in a dilemma now.
I looked at that cute little girl again, and for some reason I thought of the baby in my belly. I couldn't help but feel soft.
She took out a jade pendant, grabbed Xiaoya's hand, pricked it and dripped the blood on the jade pendant, then hung the jade pendant around Xiaoya's neck and said to Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, this is an amulet to protect Xiaoya.
If you are not hurt by bad guys, promise Auntie not to take it off at any time."
Xiaoya nodded vigorously: "Listen to Auntie, don't take it off."
The old lady was frightened when she found that Mengyu squeezed Xiaoya's blood onto the pendant and saw that the pendant absorbed the blood. When Mengyu put the pendant on Xiaoya, she said anxiously: "What's going on?
How to collect such valuable things."
That thing can suck blood. She once heard her grandma say that things like this that can suck your own blood are treasures.
When I heard Mengyu say that it was a protective treasure, I was surprised, happy and scared.
