Mrs . Liu made a face full of grievances, but unfortunately, Old Lady Bai didn’t look at her . She turned around and went inside the house . In there, she found her two sons arguing about who should keep the jade pendant .
Old Lady Bai stepped forward and took the jade pendant to Bai Erzhu, then hand it over to Bai Dazhu . She said with a confident tone: “Dazhu is much bigger and taller . It is safer if he keeps the jade . But then, as long as you two will not meet robbers on the road, it is just the same . No matter how much money you can get with this, just bring them all back . ”
Bai Erzhu felt bad, but what can he change? He could only go with his older brother to the town . The two didn’t dare to take a break . There was about 30 miles away from the village up to the town . If they will not hurry, the sky will get dark before they could return back home .

In Chen Ji’s Pawnshop .
After seeing and inspecting the jade pendant that was handed by Bai Dazhu, the shopkeeper’s facial expression drastically change . He couldn’t even react for a long time . This texture, this feeling, this looks, this was not something that ordinary people can have .
He has been collecting goods for many years in Qingyuan Town . He had received some good treasures . But only today, he has seen such a valuable item .
The shopkeeper took a glance at the two brothers outside the small window . The two brothers look poor . Their face was full of greed . At that moment, the shopkeeper felt pity for the jade . Obviously, this jade pendant doesn’t belong to them .

How did they get it? He didn’t ask, or more likely, he didn’t dare to ask . Right now, they went to the pawnshop to sell it, and that very pawnshop was his .
The shopkeeper awkwardly said to the two brothers: “Although this jade looks exquisite, if you look closely, you will find a crack . I can’t offer you a big price . ”
Bai Dazhu’s face sank . The smile on his face disappeared immediately . He busily asked: “How much can you give us? Tell us the price . ”
The shopkeeper simply reached out his arm and took 20 silver coins . Then, he placed it in front of the small window: “20 silver coins, this price is reasonable . If you’re done thinking, you can take them away . ”

When he heard that he could take away the 20 silver coins, Bai Dazhu immediately smiled . He thought he could only get one or two pieces of silver coins . It’s great that he could get 20 .
“Well, I think it’s good . ” Bai Dazhu busily said .
The shopkeeper’s lips curved into a smile . His smile was full of sarcasm . Sure enough, these people don’t know how good was their item .
The Shopkeeper pushed the silver coins out of the small window . Then, while writing a pawn ticket, he deliberately asked: “Where did you two brothers come from?”
Bai Dazhu replied back: “We are from the Huangtou Village, my surname is Bai . Just mentioned my name Bai Dazhu in the Huangtou Village, no one there can’t recognize me . ”
The Shopkeeper wrote down those information in another book . The jade pendant looked very precious . If this event provokes someone in the future, at least he could explain how he got it . And he could provide the source .
Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu took the 20 silver coins and pawn ticket, then they went out the pawnshop . When they saw a meat stall on their way, they decided to buy 2 pounds of meat . They haven’t eaten enough for many days, today is a good time to eat some meat .
As the saying goes, people fear to get famous like pigs fear fattening up . If you have money, don’t show it off, but Bai Dazhu does not care about this . He has never touched such a large amount of silver before, the air entered his brain, he deliberately shouted at the meat seller: “Butcher, if you have change for 10 silver coins, go on with your business, okay?”
The young man, who was selling meat raised his eyes and looked at Bai Dazhu . Then, he smiled and said: “Dage, if I don’t even have change for 10 silver coins, how do you expect me to continue my business?”
