Chapter 27: Taking Advantage of the Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was no need to look. Chu Wei knew very well that the jade pendant in her sister-in-law’s hand should be the one that her mother-in-law had lost after she fell into the water. She held her breath and hid at the door, listening attentively. She wanted to hear how her sister-in-law was going to put on this show.

“How about this, I’ll take it for 300 dollars!” Auntie Ding said in a low voice.

She was a businessman. How could she let go of such a good opportunity?

Zhao Jinli was stunned. She stretched her neck and said, “What!? 300?! Auntie Ding, are you kidding me? My mother-in-law loves this jade pendant the most. She wore it from her hometown and treasured it for her entire life. Back then, my father-in-law was still alive and when our family was at their poorest, we sold everything we could sell except for this jade pendant. My mother-in-law didn’t even give it up even after my father-in-law threatened her with a shovel. Although I don’t know much about jade, judging from the color, this jade pendant is definitely a top-grade item. You offered 600 yuan a few days ago, but you’re halving your offer today. Have you gone too far?”

Auntie Ding saw that she was getting anxious and smiled. “I don’t like hearing that. I only offered six hundred because I liked it back then and felt that it was worth it. But now, I don’t like it anymore. I don’t even think three hundred is worth it. Let’s cut the crap. The price is 250 dollars. I’ll accept it if you sell it.”

Zhao Jinli was stunned when she heard the number. Aunt Ding was indeed a businessman with a vicious heart. She cut off another 50 dollars. If she continued like this, she wouldn’t even be able to sell it for 50 dollars.

Zhao Jinli cursed in her heart. This Aunt Ding was a scoundrel. Back then, she had plotted to frame Eldest Uncle Ding. Initially, Eldest Uncle Ding had a good relationship with her, but when they were discussing marriage, Aunt Ding had stepped in between them and caused the two of them to be separated.

She heard that Auntie Ding wasn’t a good person and even seduced her father-in-law. Luckily, he knew what kind of person she was and kept a distance from her, afraid that he would get into trouble.

Zhao Jinli’s expression turned ugly. Auntie Ding had previously praised the jade pendant for its good quality, saying that it was like an antique that had been passed down for many years. She had said that she was willing to pay 600 dollars to purchase it. Hence, when she found out that her mother-in-law’s eyesight could be cured, she came to sell the jade pendant immediately. Who knew that this old woman would be so shameless as to take advantage of the situation?

“Forget it, I’m not selling anymore. How can you expect to buy it for 250 dollars?” Zhao Jinli said resentfully.

Auntie Ding shook her head and said teasingly, “Fine, I won’t buy it. Let me remind you, you have to hurry up and sell this jade pendant. If not, once your mother-in-law gets her eyes healed and realizes that the jade pendant was taken away by you. It would be weird if she didn’t grind your bones to dust!”

Auntie Ding had a gloating expression on her face as she munched on her melon seeds leisurely. One year, her father-in-law went into a drunken frenzy after drinking. In the end, he was beaten up by her mother-in-law in front of everyone in town. The few men went up to her but were unable to pull her away. At that time, Zhao Jinli had yet to get married.

Anyway, she was not in a hurry. She had plenty of time. Today, she could still offer two hundred and fifty dollars. She would not even get 250 dollars if she were to come back tomorrow.

Zhao Jinli was furious. She knew better than anyone what kind of person her mother-in-law was. If her mother-in-law knew about this matter, she would probably break one of her legs.

After a while, Zhao Jinli stepped out of the wine shop. After thinking for a long time, she still did not sell the jade pendant. She really could not bear to sell it at such a low price. When she came out, Chu Wei had already left. She even took a small path so that the two would not meet.

When they got home, the daughters were having a great time. Chen Yan had a quieter personality. She liked things that were feminine, such as perfume, headbands, and silk scarves. Chen Ying, the tomboy, had a more outgoing personality. She wore military medals and played the role of a general in the courtyard.

The two children were having a lot of fun. Chu Wei was plucking the weeds from a small vegetable patch in the courtyard when she saw her sister-in-law kicking her brother’s butt as she walked back. Many neighbors saw this scene and watched with curiosity.

Chu Wei threw the weeds aside and tiptoed to the backyard. The fence here was exceptionally tall, and there was a small piece of desolate sorghum land on the other side of the fence. The sorghum grew very well and was as tall as a person.

“Look at the situation now. You only know how to play poker every day. Are you trying to drive me to my grave?” Big Sister-In-Law rebuked.

“So what if I’m playing poker? Can’t I play for a while after I’m done with the chores in the fields today?” Big Brother rubbed his butt with a dissatisfied look.

Ever since he married this woman, he felt he had brought a tigress home. It was not obvious when they just got married, but after she gave birth to a son, she immediately became arrogant and her attitude towards him became more and more harsh.

The eldest sister-in-law looked around. After making sure that no one was around, she said, “Let me tell you, our mother’s eyes can be cured. When she comes back and sees this jade pendant, think about what she will do.”

Chen Hu was slightly stunned. He did not expect that his mother’s eyes could be cured. He took a deep breath. From the beginning, he did not approve of Zhao Jinli taking the jade pendant. After all, no matter how unfilial he was, she was still his biological mother. However, Zhao Jinli had long accumulated her power and had long tamed him into a sheep. Even if he objected, he could only be scolded..
