Chapter 144: Chapter 144: She’s Seen the World

Gu Jianguo nodded vigorously. “It’s all sold!”

Hearing this, Yu Nuannuan also looked over at Gu Jianguo.

That “all” was used perfectly!

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Gu Jianguo continue, “Not only did we sell everything we brought, but even the ones at home were sold too. They’re coming to pick them up this afternoon.”

Hearing this, Xu Shuhua was a bit surprised. “They’re coming to pick them up themselves?”

“That’s right!” Gu Jianguo’s face was glowing, and he couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from turning up. “And they offered a good price too!”

As he spoke, Gu Jianguo held up a hand.

Seeing his five fingers, Xu Shuhua guessed cautiously, “Fifty yuan?”

Before Gu Jianguo could answer, Yu Hai couldn’t hold back anymore. He stepped forward and said, “Mom, guess bolder!”

Xu Shuhua glanced at Yu Hai. Seeing the big smile on his face, she got a bit braver. “Five hundred?”

To her, that was already quite a sum.

No matter how exquisite, they were just some little stones. Could they really fetch sky-high prices?

But Gu Jianguo shook his head again.

This time, though, he didn’t let Xu Shuhua keep guessing.

“Those little trinkets, the small ones went for five yuan each, and the big ones, fifty each.”

After Gu Jianguo finished, not just Xu Shuhua—even Yu Nuannuan’s eyes went wide with shock.

Luckily, everyone’s attention was on Gu Jianguo, so no one noticed her reaction.

Xu Shuhua smacked her lips. “Good heavens, are stones really worth that much these days?”

It wasn’t just Xu Shuhua who found it unbelievable—even Gu Jianguo still felt that way.

All morning, Gu Jianguo felt like he was dreaming.

Fortunately, Yu Hai managed to keep his cool. Surprised as he was, he could still negotiate. Otherwise, big or small, he might have sold them all at five yuan apiece.

If that had happened, they’d have lost out big time!

Qin Yuelan, carrying her basket in one hand, pinched herself hard with the other. Only when she felt the pain did she find her voice.

“Jianguo, are you telling the truth? You didn’t get swindled, did you?”

Who would be so foolish as to spend that much money on stones?

Five yuan each was already something, but the bigger ones going for fifty apiece?

That’s just someone with more money than sense!

“I’m not stupid—how could I get scammed? Besides, Fourth Brother was with me!” Gu Jianguo said, pulling out a thick stack of cash from his pocket and handing it to Qin Yuelan. “Here’s the money. How could that be a scam?”

A thick wad of bills—so much that even Xu Shuhua was stunned.

This… this… this!

They’d really struck it rich!

Yu Nuannuan glanced at the money, then turned her little head to look at Gu Mo.

If it weren’t for Gu Mo, they wouldn’t have made this money.

So, this was basically money Gu Mo earned.

To make so much in one go—Gu Mo must be thrilled, right?

But when Yu Nuannuan saw Gu Mo’s usual blank expression, she realized she was overthinking it.

Gu Mo wasn’t really a little kid. Maybe he’d even been someone capable in his past life. How could he get excited over a bit of money like this?

Yu Nuannuan silently reminded herself not to let her thinking shrink just because her body had gotten smaller.

She’s someone who’s seen the world!

How could she get so excited over a stack of cash?

Still, just how much was in that thick wad?

Yu Nuannuan wasn’t the only one wondering."
