Chapter 94 Emerald Bracelet

"Go and have a look." Li Zaoer said, deliberately letting her steps lightly, and then quickly pushed open the door. Before the people inside could react, they quickly glanced at the situation in the room.

I saw that several people were squeezed in the room, which was not big. The four girls in the house, Xiaodong and Xiaonan, were obviously fighting, their hair was messed up, their clothes were torn, and their eyes were red. Xiaobei and Xiaoxi were busy persuading the fight in fear, and their clothes were a little messed up. Two mothers who had temporarily invited to help for a few days were blocking Xiangfeng, who wanted to come and separate the two girls, and prevented her from coming over. Li Ji sat in the middle without moving, with a stern face, looking at all at all at once, without looking to intervene.

When Li Zaoer opened the door hard, the people in the room were naturally alarmed. They all looked at the door. All the girls were stunned. Xiaonan trembled slightly. Xiangfeng let out a long sigh, calmed down and said, "Zaoer, you are back."

"I'm back, sister-in-law." Li Zaoer smiled at Xiangfeng, ignored the girls standing stupidly in the house, walked directly to Li Ji, bent down slightly, and helped Li Ji gently beat his shoulders, "Grandpa, why are you out?"

Shao Han also came over, "It's Shao Han's fault, please ask the great master..."

"It's not your business. I saw that you were very busy. The boss gave you a lot of work, right? You still have to look at the girl, how can you care about it?" Li Ji waved his hand and interrupted Shao Han's self-blame. His face was a little slow. He patted Li Zaoer's back of his hand with one hand and pointed a few girls with a crutch with the other, "Our family is not a big family, but we can't be so unruly. Girl, please take care of it!"

"I understand, grandpa." Li Zaoer smiled and glanced at the girls, "Speak, is mom going out?" If Zhou Shi was there, the girls would never dare to be so presumptuous.

"Madam went out alone." Shao Han replied.

“Where have you gone?”

"Mrs. I didn't say that I would definitely come back before noon."

Li Zaoer nodded and said she knew. She asked Xiangfeng to help Li Ji back to rest first. Then she sat down, took a sip of tea slowly, glanced at the few people in the room, and smiled slightly, "It's still a little smaller when fighting in this place, right?"

The two girls who were fighting had already knelt down, and the rest lowered their heads and said nothing.

"I have only heard of women fighting and haven't seen them. This is the first time I opened my eyes." Li Zaoer said slowly: "What's going on?"

Still no one dares to speak.

"Xiaobei, you said." Shao Han said on the side.

Xiaobei glanced at Li Zaoer and lowered his head again, "Xiaodong wore a jade bracelet on his wrist this morning. When Xiaonan saw it, he asked Xiaodong if he picked it up, saying that she lost it. Xiaodong said that she lost it, and the two of them started arguing."

"Where is the bracelet?"

"Here." Xiaodong reluctantly stepped down the bracelet on his wrist, Xiaobei took it and handed it to Li Zaoer.

It was a light dark green jade bracelet, but the naturally formed patterns and jade flaws were intertwined ingeniously, and they also had a decorative effect when worn. The market price was about three to four taels of silver, which was not expensive, but for ordinary people, it was not cheap, especially for a girl.

After thinking for a while, Li Zaoer waved his hand, "Others except Xiaodong and Xiaonan, go down, do whatever they should do, don't delay your work." He nodded to Shao Han and signaled him to stay.

When the others retreated, Li Zaoer asked, "You two say that the bracelet belongs to them, aren't it?"

"This bracelet is clearly mine!" Xiaodong shouted first.

Xiaonan didn't dare to speak, and just nodded.

"Okay." Li Zaoer smiled and said, "If you all say that the bracelet is yours, it should have a source, right? Tell me, how did this bracelet come from?"

Xiaodong snatched and said, "My mother left it for me as a souvenir!"

"Xiao Nan, what do you think?"

Xiaonan looked very nervous and shivered and said, "It's... it was given to me by someone else."

"Who gave it to you?"

"I...I..." Xiaonan hesitated, looking like he didn't know whether he should say it.

"It's hard to say?" Li Zaoer asked her for a while and turned to Xiaodong, "You go down."

Xiaodong responded, staring at the bracelet in Li Zaoer's hand, "Girl, when will you give that bracelet to me?"

"Give it to you?" Li Zaoer looked at her with a smile, "Since I know it is not your bracelet, why should I give it to you?"

"Why is it not mine? It was given to me by my mother! Girl, look at Xiao Nan's appearance, it's obvious that she can't explain it clearly! Ha! The bracelet is not her at all, how can she explain it clearly?" Xiaodong shouted, looking at Li Zaoer with resentment, "Miss, aren't you still holding a grudge against me at that time...washing clothes?"

Li Zaoer sighed, "Originally, I wanted to give you a face, but since you want to understand, I might as well tell you." She compared the bracelet in her hand, "You want it so much, do you know how much it is worth?"

Xiaodong hesitated and said, "The jade should be worth a lot, right? It costs more than ten taels of silver, right?"

"No wonder... you want it so much, so you thought..." Li Zaoer felt funny, bent her lips, and said, "I understand and tell you that if you put this bracelet on the market, it will be sold at most for four taels of silver."

"Oh..." Xiaodong was obviously a little disappointed.

"When your mother gave you the bracelet, she didn't tell you how much it is worth?"

"I...my mother doesn't know either. This is passed down from my ancestors!" Xiaodong said.

"Okay, assuming what you said is true." Li Zaoer narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiaodong, "But don't forget that your contract for sale is with me, which is written in black and white. Your mother agreed to sell you to the Li family. The price of the body is three liang. If this bracelet is less, assume it can only be sold for three liang? Do you think your mother may have sold a daughter for only three liang of silver and gave you a bracelet worth three liang of silver as a souvenir?"

"I...my mother doesn't know how much this bracelet is worth. She probably thinks it's not worth it..."

"In a family that is so poor that they need to sell their daughters to make ends meet, Xiaodong, do you think the hostess will not sell everything that may be worth some money in the family because of the word "thinking"?"

"I...I..." Xiaodong looked at Li Zaoer in panic, not knowing what to say, so he suddenly kowtowed, "Girl, I was wrong, please don't drive me away! Don't sell me to others! Don't..."

"You don't have to be afraid of being like this. I don't plan to do anything to you. However, as the saying goes, 'Things are only three things', you remember what you did yourself. If there is another time, I won't do anything to you, but you are too stupid for the Li family." Li Zaoer turned her head and told Shao Han, "You don't have to deduct her three-month monthly money. You don't have to make things difficult for her, nor do you have to tell my mother and elder brother."

Shao Han nodded and said, "I understand."

After dealing with Xiaodong in a few seconds, he sent her out to work. Li Zaoer said to Xiaonan: "There is no one else now, tell me, who gave you this bracelet?"

Xiaonan bit his lip but still didn't say anything.

Li Zaoer smiled again, "I know if you don't say it. Tell me, is the person who gives you this bracelet my mother? Or..." She said in a deep tone, "Or brother?"

Xiaonan also sold his body. When he came to the Li family, he had no belongings, so naturally he could not have such valuable things. Then it was naturally only after he arrived at the Li family.

Although there are many members of the Li family, it is not too much. Li Zaoer is not, Li Ji and Xiangfeng are not. If they were the two of them, they would not be unfamiliar with the things they gave out, and the fight just now would not be arguing. Li Ping'an never tinkered with these women's things, even if they gave rewards, they would not give a bracelet out. Li De and Li Ping'an were of the same nature. Although it was not ruled out that they liked Xiao Nan and gave a bracelet privately, Li Zaoer was sure that Li De would ask her first for such things that he was not good at. Li De hadn't asked, and it was probably because he had never given them. Apart from these few, the rest were Zhou and Li Shou.
