Chapter 153: Sister-in-law Is So Rich (2)
Chen Jin quickly brought the money over . Then he brought over many small boxes and laid them open on the table . The boxes glowed with the radiance of the jewels .
It was mostly gems and precious stones, and also some diamond jewelry .
Now, there were stringent checks on gems and precious stones and the banks would not take them . If they were found in anyone’s possession, it would spell disaster . So the older folks with these good things all preferred to exchange their gems for other things . But they kept as much hard currency, like gold, as possible .
It was the same for diamond jewelry . The moment someone saw them, they would think of the capitalists and hedonists from the past!
Mo Beihan looked at Gu Qingyao . “You choose . Pick anything you like!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Mo Beihan smiled when he saw that Gu Qingyao did not reply . “Of course I need a woman’s eye to select jewelry . The ones I select won’t look nice . ”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
I don’t believe you! You h!
But Gu Qingyao did not argue with him . This was her man . Everything he had would one day belong to her too .
But Gu Qingyao was inwardly a little smug . She began her selection .
She still liked jade bangles best .
She chose twelve of them at one go . They were all an intense green, with flower-like inclusions below their glass-like surfaces . Two of them were especially beautiful, with a slight yellowish tinge .

Then she chose three Buddha pendants, two diamond necklaces, and four pairs of diamond bracelets .
The bracelets were beautiful . They were slender and shiny . By themselves, each was too thin, but they looked especially nice when worn together .
Six slender ones formed a bracelet, and one pair consisted of twelve of them . They would look especially nice when worn by someone with fair wrists .
Gu Qingyao chose four pairs . Two pairs were embedded with white diamonds, and two pairs were embedded with pink diamonds .
She also chose two ruby necklaces and two diamond rings .
There were so many things that would be priceless in later years, but were worthless in the current climate .

Mo Beihan had brought meat, which was an absolutely rare commodity, and even more valuable than fine grain . So Gu Qingyao had not selected much in comparison .
This time, Chen Jin had brought out some nicer things . What was left was also pretty good . Gu Qingyao thought that she should not waste the opportunity .
“Do you still have anything left?”
Chen Jin was startled . “Yes . These are all jewelry . I still have some antiques, but I didn’t collect many . I don’t know what some of them are . ”
They must be antique curios!
Chen Jin knew Mo Beihan . The last few times Mo Beihan had sought him out, he had asked for various kinds of pretty jewelry . So he had simply taken out his best jewelry this time . He actually had plenty of other things .

Gu Qingyao impulsively said, “I have plenty of good things too . Fine grain, eggs, and fruits . I have as much as Elder Brother Beihan . Are you able to deal with them?”
Chen Jin’s eyes immediately widened . “You… You have fruits?”
In these times, fruits were even more expensive than meat .
“Mhm!”
Gu Qingyao nodded . Then she took out three cloth bags from her interspace, although it looked as though she was taking them from a cloth-covered basket . Each bag contained ten kilograms of rice . Then she brought out twenty kilograms of flour, five kilograms of brown sugar, ten kilograms of dried noodles, fifty eggs, ten apples and twenty mandarin oranges .
She had spent a long time selecting apples and mandarin oranges that were not of the best quality . It would be too conspicuous if she brought out fruit that looked too nice .
Chen Jin’s eyes almost fell out of his head . He was even more startled than when Mo Beihan had brought out his meat . He knew how capable Mo Beihan was, and he definitely was able to obtain meat . But this girl…
