CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE: pawnshops

"perhaps, we go borrow some, this we do not sell first. " I still have some not reconciled, this bracelet, light mother of its feelings, I do not want to sell.

"Or, let's talk to GRANDPA first and see if they can make it cheaper, or we can pay him back in time. " The more I talked, the more I thought it was impossible, i mean, how could GRANDPA say yes.

"It's okay, sell it, sell it, do not need to see things think people, put it also useless. " Mother seems to be talking to us, also like in their own and their general.

No matter how my brother and I advised, my mother decided to sell some bangles, eventually, it but my mother, my brother and I accompanied her to the pawn shop.

At this time the pawn shop is still a lot of, but also very popular. Generally, when entering such a shop, the shop assistant will first ask whether it is dead or alive. Generally, the price of dead is several times that of alive, and dead is equivalent to selling this thing.

"Are you here to live or die, or to find something? " We just a foot into the pawnshop door, the shop waiter's voice on the abacus stopped, and asked.

Of course. PAWNSHOPS get pawnshops, people buy things. There will also be a lot of people in the pawnshop will buy some of the high price, think there is a collection value, perhaps said later will go back to stock up the price of things.

When I heard what the bartender said, I obviously felt my mother's body shake twice.

"How about it, let's go, not when. " I can not bear to see my mother like this.

"All right, always want to pawn. " Mother said, in my brother and I help, step by step to the pawnshop window in front.

Mother slowly took out the bright green bracelet and put it in front of the window. "I want to sell this, " she said

"No, " I said after my mother's words.

The bartender first looked at me twice, then took the bracelet from my mother's hand, first looked around, then said to us: "This I need to ask our shopkeeper, you wait. "

I nodded. But I found that my mother's eyes have been looking at the bracelet refused to let go, as if looking at a loved one. If my mother hadn't told me that my grandmother had given it to her, I would have suspected that it was a token of affection.

The waiter took the bracelet and went to the back room of the pawnshop. There was a man in his forties with a round belly who was studying a purple clay pot.

The bartender took the bracelet and went in. "shopkeeper, " he shouted, "look at this. "

The waiter said, handing the bracelet to the fat man, and then went on to say, "this bracelet has the name of our pawnshop. The owner asked us to keep an eye on it. Do you want to meet this guy? "

When the fat man heard this, he quickly put down the Purple Clay Pot in his hand and took the bracelet from the waiter. He opened the bracelet with a magnifying glass. Hui People looked at it several times and said, "yes, yes, this is what the owner said, a jade bracelet. "

The fat man took the bracelet and looked down the window for a long time. Finally he saw a petal-like carving on the inside of the bracelet.

"This is it, the seller of this bracelet? " The fat man seemed to be excited, took the bracelet hurriedly asked the shop waiter.

"It's still outside the shop. "

"I'll go see her myself. " The fat man shifted his slightly plump figure and made quick movements. When he reached the front of the Pawnshop, he stopped, calmed himself, and then, as if nothing had happened, came to Zhao Xiufen.

"What is this bracelet? " The fat man asked, holding it out in front of me and my mother.

"It's mine, " said my mother.

"Yes, yes. That's right. " The fat man muttered. He thought it was the little girl for a moment, but was almost startled.

I didn't understand what he was mumbling, but in my mind, pawnshops are usually run by profiteers, so I wasn't going to listen to him, I was going to ask.

"We want to live as the bracelet. How much can we live as the bracelet? "

"Oh? Do Not Know How much is the wife want to be? " The fat man asked his mother.

I asked him, but he had to ask my mother. She's a strange one, too.

After hearing what he said, my mother's intuition turned to me and my brother.

I hesitated and held up a finger in front of the fat man.

The fat man was puzzled. "A hundred? "

I nodded, because I do not know to see jade, color, ah, what, but if it is live, a hundred seems to be a bit high, but I am not dead set on trying.

"Live and let live? " The fat man continued in surprise.

I nodded again. I could see it in his face. You're asking too much. Just when I thought he was going to kick us out, the fat man seemed to say angrily.

"Live, 200, two months, two months, do not come to redeem, it is ours, the law all understand? "

At first I thought it was more than 100, but the fat man said 200, which totally scared us all. I almost thought we had some priceless treasure.

"really... really can live when two hundred? " Mother thought she heard wrong, could not help but ask aloud.

"Well, " the fat man nodded, and then said, "if you can come up with two hundred dollars in two months, it's a dead giveaway. Sorry if you can't. " The fat man said with a look of regret.

"Can, we can take out! " The mother listens, seem to be afraid of fat person to regret same, hurriedly promise.

I don't know why, but I think this fat guy is trying to impress us, but we don't even know each other.

Dead or alive, the contract is to be signed, I carefully checked the contract, unexpectedly, there is no pit for us to jump.

I couldn't believe what the fat man was saying until I signed the contract and got paid, and before we left. The fat man also reminded us that,

"In two months, make sure you get the contract, or the bracelet will be ours. "

"certainly certainly, thanks! " The mother repeatedly said thanks.

Because live when 200, is completely out of our expectations, I feel relieved, perhaps my small heart, there are good people.

The shop assistant asked the shopkeeper in bewilderment after the three had left: "that bracelet is worth 200 yuan, even if it's not worth 50 yuan. " The shop assistant felt that even a person with such a dim eye could see it, can't a shopkeeper not see that?

"You know what? I say it's worth it, so you do your job. Next time they come, don't give them a hard time, okay? " The fat man who owned the store tapped the bartender and turned around to go back.
