Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

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…
