Yu Shu let her three roommates pick first, giving each person a pair of bangles as a dowry, and sending the bangle cores along with them.
Even from the same original stone, the quality of jadeite varies greatly.
None of the three understood jade, but with Zhou Zhengan's explanation, each picked their favorite colors, ranging in price from 400,000 to 600,000 yuan per bangle, with each bangle core worth a car.
"Suddenly, just relying on my girlfriends, I've become a millionaire." Yang ZhiXia held two bangle cores, constantly feeling the surprise of getting rich too quickly, "Wow wow wow, sisters!!! I'm so excited!!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!! Sis, pinch me, I can't even feel it when I pinch myself!"
...
The Zhi Yang sisters were "pinching" each other, while Yu Shu watched the fun. She completely understood this feeling of being so excited you lose control, like you're dreaming. She had experienced it herself when she won 300 million yuan.
Ou Doudou wanted to say something but hesitated. Yu Shu asked her what was wrong. She pulled Yu Shu aside and quietly asked, "Can I...can I buy another bangle from you and give it to my mother-in-law? She hasn't had it easy all these years."
Yu Shu felt a sudden headache. She looked at Ou Doudou as if she were a fool, "Did love make you lose intelligence or did you hit your head when you fell into the river? How is Xu Kai's mother's hardship related to you? Her suffering was caused by her useless husband and Xu Kai himself."
Yu Shu was exasperated. She poked Ou Doudou's forehead, "Have you been brainwashed into stupidity? It's hard on his mother, but has it been easy on your own mother all these years? You haven't even gotten married yet but you're already trying your best to curry favor with your mother-in-law. Weren't you crying to me the other day, saying she makes things difficult for you everywhere, interferes with your wedding plans, and you wore her down with petty tricks? Has Stockholm syndrome set in?"
Yu Shu's words were like a wake-up call, giving Ou Doudou a knock on the head.
Ou Doudou's father passed away early, and her mother raised her alone. She had been brainwashed into blindness, unable to see her own mother's hardship, instead trying every way possible to get close to her mean, ungrateful mother-in-law.
When did she start having such thoughts? She couldn't remember clearly anymore.
Xu Kai had been telling her for a long time that it was difficult for his parents to raise him, so after they got married, they had to be good to his parents.
Xu Kai said this as sweet words, while Ou Doudou foolishly took them as him making promises about their future.
Ou Doudou was full of regret, "I...I'm really stupid!"
Yu Shu nodded in agreement, "You need to be more clear-headed in the future. Don't believe everything Xu Kai says."
"Since I gave you those bangles, it's up to you how to handle them. Keep them or sell them, it's fine, but I prefer you keep them for yourself. If you sell them, use the money for yourself too. Don't foolishly dedicate everything."
"What you can grasp in your own hands, that's truly yours."
Ou Doudou kept nodding, "I accidentally narrowed my path."
Ou Doudou diligently poured her water and massaged her shoulders, "Teacher Yu, have some tea. You've talked so much, are you tired?"
Yu Shu snorted, "For someone else, I wouldn't bother caring."
"You're the best~ I do still want to buy a bangle..."
"Hmm?"
Ou Doudou quickly added, "To give to my mom."
"Go ahead, I'll give you another 50% off the cost price."
Ou Doudou cheered and pulled the Zhi Yang sisters to go with her. Worried her thrifty mother wouldn't bear to wear an expensive one, Ou Doudou picked a 10,000 yuan bangle.
The price wasn't high, but since it was half the cost price, the workmanship on the finished bangle was still very good. If sold on the market, it would be worth tens of thousands.
The Zhi Yang sisters also selected a bangle for their mother, buying the bangle core too. They bought an unengraved plaque for their father.
Once again it was proven Zhou Zhengan's "conservative" estimate was truly conservative. The eight green bangles all came out perfectly flawless. Yu Shu kept four, while Song Yan and Zhou Zhengan divided the rest.
Song Yan urged her not to sell the four top quality green bangles for less than 3 million each, at least 5 million. But Yu Shu had no plans to sell. This level of quality was rare, and she might not be able to buy it again in the future. Wouldn't it be nice to keep them for collecting?
In addition to the four green bangles, Yu Shu also picked another ten bangles along with the cores to keep. Song Yan and Zhou Zhengan split the rest. After paying the taxes, Yu Shu received 31.82 million.
This feeling was like her phone being nearly out of battery, then suddenly charging up full again.

Zhou Zhengan conservatively wishes everyone a happy new year, may you earn 1.8 million monthly in the Year of the Tiger.
