Chapter 138:113, a big bargain? A jadeite raw stone worth 30 million!_3

One moment they were scouting the stores in high spirits,

then it was “bro 666 no problem,”

another moment, I’m Mr. Stone,

like a group of demons dancing wildly, radishes holding a meeting, the scene bustling with excitement.

The scenic area wasn’t too large, and after making a round, the family returned to the car once again.

Lin Xiaoxiao, holding a sugar-coated hawthorn stick in her left hand and carrying a bag of chestnuts in her right, sat in the back seat with a face full of happiness.

Li Jinwen sighed, “It’s nice to be a little kid, just play and not worry about so much.”

“We can do the same, life is better now, no need to worry so much anymore!”

Lin Mo replied with a smile, leaning back in his seat.

“How could we? We are still in so much debt. We can’t be carefree like a child unless we’ve paid it all off!”

“By the way, husband, how much exactly do we owe Uncle Tai?”

Ever since she transferred the money to Lin Mo, Li Jinwen hadn’t asked about financial matters, and only had a rough idea.

As far as she knew, her husband should have had three to four million in his hands, but then there was the car accident, pulling strings to get help, staying in the intensive care unit, and having the hospital director treat them personally.

After being discharged, they somehow muddily bought a large plot of land back home, so they were definitely in debt.

After all, she didn’t know about the twenty-plus million Lin Mo had made from trading futures back in the day.

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then answered, “We don’t owe too much, don’t worry about it, Uncle Tai isn’t short on money. At his age, money is just a number to him. But, we will definitely pay back what we owe, and actually, Uncle Tai gave me another sum of money during this trip to Yuhang. He’s getting older and can’t move about as much, his health hasn’t been good lately, so he wants me to help him look around the market for some antiques or raw stones.”

In the weeks Lin Mo stayed in the hospital in Rakshasa City, he also occasionally took Li Jinwen to the antique market, so by now she had a general understanding of various antiques.

“Then you need to be careful not to mess it up!”

After some thought, Li Jinwen continued wistfully, “Uncle Tai has been so generous to our family, it’s the kind of debt we can never repay in this lifetime. If not for his help, how could ordinary people like us have access to such top-notch medical services.”

“Last time you said Uncle Tai doesn’t have a son, right? Since he doesn’t, husband, have you ever thought about recognizing a godfather? That way, if we can’t pay him back in the future, we can take care of him in his old age!” Recognize a godfather?

Lin Mo never dreamt that a reason he made up on the fly would actually lead to acknowledging a fictitious father?

“Cough cough, that…,” Lin Mo choked, then after starting the car and buckling his seatbelt, he said with a wry smile, “The main thing is, even if I were willing to be someone’s son, that someone might not be willing to be my father, right?”

“Rather than planning to take care of someone in their old age, 1 think it’s better to spend our time now looking around Yuhang’s antique market to see if we can find any moneymaking opportunities.”

“I’ve heard that Yuhang’s antique market is even bigger than Rakshasa City’s!”

This car ride was quite long.

It almost spanned the entirety of Yuhang City.

After more than two hours of driving, they finally arrived at the very famous Yongshunxiang Antique and Raw Stone Market in Yuhang.

According to information Lin Mo found on the internet earlier, Yongshunxiang Antique and Raw Stone Market was established by several of the country’s top antique and jade stone families.

Initially, it served only the country’s top antique enthusiasts and collectors, but after negotiations with the local government, an area was designated for some vendors to set up stalls.

Unexpectedly, as the common people became wealthier, the market became busier and busier.

The major families and the local government had a second round of negotiations and decided to develop the antique and raw stone market as a tourist attraction, which could boost the local economy. The local government, of course, welcomed this, resulting in the construction of many basic facilities and attracting even more vendors to the market.

After nearly ten to twenty years of rapid development, the market has grown larger, the variety of items sold has expanded, and it has become a popular attraction in Yuhang.

It is comparable in fame and scale to Panjiayuan in the Imperial Capital and Zhuque Road Antique City in Anxi.

Upon arriving at Yongshunxiang, it took the family a good ten minutes to find a parking space. After finally finding one and parking the car, they successfully entered the market.

Unlike the classic ancient towns, this place had a denser crowd and was noisier. Just stepping into this area, they were met with a continuous din of vendors hawking their wares.

It brought to mind the feeling of a rural market day.

At the entrance of the market, they sold crafts and some modern trinkets, nothing much of interest, mostly catered to tourists with not very high prices, who purchased for the sake of souvenirs.

Further in, the older the items displayed on the ground appeared, seemingly following some pattern.

However, whether the goods were authentic or fake, that was up to one’s own judgment.

Once bought, there was no possibility of return.

But there were advantages too, as the market was managed by the local government, which made it quite formal, and there were no overly vicious cases of cheating or overcharging the customers.

Another great feature was that photography inside the market was allowed, but live broadcasting was prohibited, so there was none of the bizarre shouting and bellowing to be heard.

The family of three was not in a hurry, strolling and examining interesting items, handling them, and casually inquiring about the prices.

Most items were priced around a few hundred yuan, with asking prices typically between one and two thousand yuan.

In such a large market, there were definitely good finds, but one would have to search the shops on either side..
