Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 905: Harvest

"No matter how good it is, it’s still not as delicious as the food at my house." Shi Jing and Jianbin nodded in agreement.

"Really disappointing. You just stay and keep Old Han company, I’m too lonely by myself." Han Xiangjun pretended to be pitiful.

"Old Han, you’re not trying to find Brother Jianbin a stepmother, are you?" Jiang Feifei knew Han Xiangjun was teasing her but didn’t give him the chance.

Han Xiangjun was stunned, then overjoyed. This girl is extraordinary, her reaction was so quick. His own son was a bit lacking.

"Xiao Wei, you need to cultivate our Feifei well."

"Do I need you to tell me that? Don’t think about my daughter."

"Look at you being all petty."

After sitting for a while and sweating, they finally left.

When they got home, there was plenty of hot water ready, and the house was warm.

The three children didn’t take a bath; they were worried about getting sick, so they just did some simple washing up.

Once they were ready, Shang Zhenkun took the three of them out to play. The elderly are familiar here.

"Master Shang, we can’t go to the scrapyard here, can we?" Jiang Feifei asked.

"Why not? Come on, I’ll take you there to see. If you like something, just buy it."

Only the three of them were left at home, and they talked quietly for a long time.

"Old Yang, you stay here, I’ll just take Xiao Wei for a quick trip."

Old Yang nodded. He and Wei Kaiyun were always like this, one in the open, one in the dark.

Besides, the matter wasn’t entirely safe; it was better for someone to be outside. If something really happened, he could take the kids back.

The two of them rode off on their bikes. Old Yang lay down at home to rest, not moving at all.

Shang Zhenkun took the three children for a round at the scrapyard. Jiang Feifei secretly took some calligraphy and paintings and finally spent two yuan to buy a copper pot and two rather pretty vases.

"Feifei, I’ll take you to Antique Street to try your luck."

"Master Shang, will Antique Street be open now?"

"I don’t know, we’ll find out when we get there."

The four of them strolled to Antique Street. Frankly, it was very quiet, though there were still a few shops open.

"Feifei, let’s follow that person."

Shang Zhenkun led the three children to turn and follow the person they just saw in passing, having not even seen his face.

Out of this street, Shang Zhenkun quickened his pace, "Comrade, wait a minute."

As soon as Shang Zhenkun spoke, the person walked even faster.

Within a few steps, they caught up to him.

"What are you doing?"

"Comrade, we want your stuff."

"How did you know I have stuff?"

Shang Zhenkun just smiled and said nothing. However, his expression was very certain.

"Comrade, let’s find a place to talk."

The other party was blatantly resistant but, looking at the old man smiling in front of him, unwillingly nodded.

After a while, they reached an obscure alley.

"Comrade, name your price."

"Old comrade, you haven’t even seen the stuff yet."

The man let out a sigh as he took a delicate wooden box, about seven to eight centimeters wide and around twenty centimeters long, from his pocket and opened it to reveal an Eastern Pearl necklace inside.

Jiang Feifei was immediately taken. This was truly good stuff.

"Comrade, name your price."

"Minimum two hundred, although the pearls aren’t the largest, their quality is great, and they’ve been well-preserved. Selling for two hundred isn’t asking too much."

"Comrade, I admit you’ve kept these Eastern Pearls very well, I can give you two hundred, but you must give me the box too."

"That’s impossible." The man’s eyes flitted around; could this box be a valuable item?

"Then there’s nothing we can do. These pearls, in time, will just be heirlooms. Without this box protecting them, they’d be gone in a year or two."

Shang Zhenkun sighed and turned to walk away with the three children.

"Wait, wait, add ten yuan, and I’ll give you the box too."

"Add money? Then forget it, it’s not something to eat or drink. Just thought we ran into some fate today. Two hundred is my limit. Forget it, I’ll buy some fine grain to nourish the kids."

Jiang Xinyu was holding back her laughter until her face was red. Did Master Shang have such a side? She had thought he was above all worldly considerations.

"Okay, okay, I’m selling it to you. By the way, do you still want it? I see you have three grandchildren, who are you buying a string for to pass down?"

"You have more?"

"Yes. Three more strings. They’re all kept in these kinds of boxes. Do you want them? Let me say first, the price cannot change."

Shang Zhenkun furrowed his brow. He knew these pearls were definitely authentic, and were once worn by second-tier officials in the past. How could one person have four strings?

"What’s the origin of these?"

"Old man, you’re buying things and asking too much. But I can assure you, they aren’t stolen."

"I recognize this kind of thing. How can one person have several strings?"

"Hmph, ignorance. Others may not have them, but the Fifth Prince certainly did, didn’t he?"

He finished speaking, looking frustrated, slipping up with his words.

"Comrade, how about this, do you have anything else? I’d like to buy more good stuff from the nobles in the past."

"I still have some jade jewelry, do you really want it?"

"Yes, I really want it. But be fair with the pricing, I’m buying four strings at once, you should negotiate the price."

"Absolutely not, the price is non-negotiable."

Saying this, he looked at Shang Zhenkun who was about to smile, and finally gritted his teeth, "The price cannot drop, but I can give you four jade pieces."

"Alright, the box won’t be extra money, will it?"

"Old comrade, old man, stop joking with me. Come, I’ll take you to my place. By the way, do you have enough money?"

"Rest assured, not a penny less."

"Much obliged, old man. Let’s go to my place, it’s all good stuff."

Shang Zhenkun smiled, held Feifei’s hand, and followed him.

After about half an hour of walking, they stopped at an entrance that appeared quite old.

The man pulled out a key from his pocket, opened the door, and went inside.

"Old man, have a seat, I’ll bring it over for you. Today you bought everything, it’s a relief for me too."

Jiang Feifei was captivated by the furniture there. She glanced at Shang Zhenkun. Both of them had smiles in their eyes. Today, they planned to spend big money.

A little later, the man came over carrying a wooden box and placed it on the table directly.

Without any reservation, he opened it up. "Old man, look, these are four strings of pearls, all of excellent quality."

He believed these were the most valuable, so he opened all four boxes.

Shang Zhenkun nodded, "Hmm, not bad, all good stuff."

Jiang Feifei looked directly at the box inside, where there were numerous jade accessories, and their quality was fine, but currently all of these couldn’t be exchanged for ten pounds of rice.
