He couldn’t help but touch it. It felt great…

“Alright, put it away quickly. Be careful not to drop it.” Old Madam Lin quickly urged.

Fourth Uncle Lin glanced at Old Madam Lin.

Only then did he put the jade pendant away. Then, he closed the box and returned it to Old Madam Lin.

The two of them arrived at Qingshi Town and then went to Huichun Hall.

When Lin Dachui found out that Fourth Uncle Lin actually asked for 50 taels of silver, he almost attacked Fourth Uncle Lin.

It was Lin Yuanshan who stopped him and spoke up for his brother. In the end, Lin Dachui agreed to give the money to Fourth Uncle Lin.

Even so, Fourth Uncle Lin was not grateful to Lin Yuanshan at all.

He also showed respect to Lin Dachui and Old Madam Lin.

The night passed just like that.

The next day.

At dawn, Fourth Uncle Lin took Old Madam Lin to the largest pawnshop in Qingshi Town.

The two of them even wore hats and covered their bodies, not wanting to be recognized.

When the shopkeeper saw them, he came out.

After seeing the jade pendant, his eyes lit up.

“How much do you want?” He asked Fourth Uncle Lin.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s eyes flickered as he stretched out his hand.

“500 taels!” He said what he had thought before.

Old Madam Lin looked at her son and the shopkeeper and nodded.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned.

Then, he placed the jade pendant in his hand on the table.

“I can only give you 200 taels at most.” He looked at the two of them.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s expression changed, and he reached out to take the jade pendant.

The shopkeeper hurriedly pressed down on Fourth Uncle Lin’s hand.

“At most 250 taels!”

Seeing that Fourth Uncle Lin was unfazed, the shopkeeper said, “the jade pendant is made of excellent material and is indeed not an ordinary item.”

“But the origin is unknown. We have to bear the risk. This isn’t yours, right?” He looked at the two of them.

Fourth Uncle Lin subconsciously lowered his head.

The jade pendant belonged to Liu Shi.

If Lin Xiaoyue and her husband knew about this, they would definitely come to them.

“Why do you say that? This is the ancestral jade pendant of the Lin family!” Old Madam Lin said.

Fourth Uncle felt a headache when he heard that.

He covered his face because he didn’t want to expose his identity.

His mother had just exposed them.

The shopkeeper smiled.

“The name Liu was written on it.”

After saying that, he looked at Old Madam Lin and Fourth Uncle Lin with a hint of jealousy.

“250 taels is too little, offer us 300 taels! If not, we’ll go to another pawnshop.” Fourth Uncle Lin said quickly.

He didn’t want to stay here any longer.

The shop assistant had sharp eyes.

His mother was also someone who coudln’t keep her mouth shut. The longer they stayed here, the more exposed they would be.

The shopkeeper stopped smiling.

“260 taels.” He said in a deep voice.

“300 taels, not a single wen less and this jade pendant is yours. If not, then we are just wasting each other’s time.” With that, Fourth Uncle Lin reached out to the jade pendant again.

The shopkeeper quickly covered the jade pendant again.

He gritted his teeth. “Then 1’11 take the risk. I’ll take it for 300 taels!”

Fourth Uncle Lin heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Madam Lin glanced at her fourth son. For the first time, she felt that he was quite capable.

After that, the shopkeeper asked someone to prepare the contract.

After that, Fourth Uncle Lin and Old Madam Lin signed the contract.

Then, he asked the assistant to go get the money.

“Please give us 50 taels worth of silver ingots and the remaining silver notes.” Seeing that the waiter was about to leave, Fourth Uncle Lin hurriedly said.

The assistant looked at the shopkeeper.

Seeing the shopkeeper nod, he nodded and left.

Soon after, the man came out with a plate of silver.

It was 50 taels of silver and 250 taels of silver.

Fourth Uncle Lin’s face lit up and he quickly put it into his bag.

Then, he went to count the 250 silver notes.

Although he could not read, he could still recognize numbers.

Seeing that the face value was correct, he handed the notes to Old Madam Lin, who was standing at the side impatiently.

“I will send both of you out.” When the shopkeeper saw the two of them take the money, he stood up and said to the two of them.

Then, he sent the two of them out..
