Chapter 263 Whose Safety Does the Safety Buckle Protect?
Wu Zhao resisted the urge to reach out and grab the fragments.
She glanced at the mud with disdain, shook her head, and walked away uninterested.
When the old man saw that she was about to leave, he quickly stopped them.
"The boss is easy to talk to, we can discuss it some more, let's discuss it some more."
Huo Weiwei frowned.
"You want to sell this lump of mud for tens of thousands of yuan? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"I'm not stupid or rich, do you really think I'm an idiot?"
She rolled her eyes as she spoke.
The old man smiled awkwardly and glanced at Wu Zhao, who remained silent.
"It's a rare item, I'm not lying to you. This thing can withstand fire and even being cut with a knife!"
"How about... five thousand yuan?"
Huo Weiwei's eyes darted around for a moment, and she noticed that Wu Zhao's gaze had already turned to other stalls.
Wu Zhao glanced at the other stalls and took a few steps.
Huo Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
Five thousand yuan? You're saying this mud is worth five thousand yuan? Do I look like I'm worth five thousand yuan?
"Five hundred at most. If it's more than that, just leave it for other people who are meant to have it."
After saying that, she lifted her foot to chase after Wu Zhao.
"Hey, hey, five hundred it is!"
The old man gritted his teeth.
We'll earn whatever we can, since it's definitely something we dug up from our own land.
Five hundred yuan can buy a lot of things!
"Tsk, fine, you pack it up for me."
Huo Weiwei watched as he put the lump of mud into a black plastic bag, then, with a flourish, stuffed the bag into his small handbag.
"Zhaozhao, wait for me!"
She jumped up and down, then jogged a couple of steps to catch up with Wu Zhao.
"I got it."
Speaking in a low voice next to Wu Zhao, Huo Weiwei chuckled twice.
"sharp."
Wu Zhao secretly gave her a thumbs up.
The two then walked to an antique-style shop, where Wu Zhao paused.
"The owner of this shop has some personal connections with the head of the family. If you're interested, Miss, you can go in and take a look."
Zi Yao looked up at the shop name and said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look. We can also buy something for Weiwei's teacher while we're at it."
Huo Weiwei naturally had no objections and took Wu Zhao's hand as they entered the shop.
The shop is filled with the calming scent of sandalwood, which has a delicate and pleasant aroma.
The shop owner, who was doing his accounts behind the counter, heard the commotion and looked over.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Ziyao, who's next to Mr. Gu?"
The man, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, laughed, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes made him look exceptionally kind.
“Mr. Qin, it’s been a while. It’s just a coincidence that you brought my young lady here today.”
He looked at Wu Zhao and Huo Weiwei, who were curiously examining the store's furnishings.
"This is the shop owner, Mr. Qin Jiangting."
Qin Jiangting looked at the three of them with a smile.
"Just call me Uncle Qin. Please feel free to look around. If you see anything you like, just let me know."
Huo Weiwei thought for a moment before asking, "I want to give my university professor a gift, something that doesn't have to be particularly expensive but has some meaning."
Although she didn't understand shareholders, nothing in this room seemed quite right.
“That’s easy. I remember Miss Huo majored in history? I have an inkstone here that I just acquired; it’s from my own private collection.”
"The price isn't too expensive, Miss Huo should have no problem giving it to her teacher."
He took a box from the display shelf behind him, placed it on the counter, and opened it.
A pleasant scent of ink slowly spread out.
Wu Zhao looked him over and nodded.
"It's a fine inkstone; this is a nice gift."
Upon hearing Wu Zhao's assessment, Huo Weiwei immediately waved her hand.
"Then I'll take this one!"
Qin Jiangting happily helped her pack the food, then looked at Wu Zhao.
What would this young lady like?
Wu Zhao raised his finger and pointed to the red tassel hanging on the door frame.
"Do you have a red rope?"
Huh? Qin Jiangting was taken aback.
He nodded and said, "Of course, wait a moment while I get some for you."
After he carefully packed the red rope and inkstone into a paper bag, Wu Zhao looked into his eyes and gave him a reminder.
"Go home early today, and don't take that usual back alley."
"And congratulations on becoming a grandfather!"
Qin Jiangting was taken aback.
"Hmm? Oh, I see. And thank you?"
He watched them leave, somewhat bewildered, his mind replaying what Wu Zhao had just told him.
Should Bi take the path she used to frequent?
Also, is he going to be a grandfather?
How come he doesn't know that himself?
Just then, the phone rang.
"Dad! Sisi is pregnant! You're going to be a grandfather!"
With a click, Qin Jiangting stared wide-eyed at the bustling crowd outside, somewhat incredulous.
She was right?!
……
Huo Weiwei checked the time after buying her things.
Where are we going now?
Wu Zhao held the ropes he had bought in his hand and twisted them together, turning several ropes into one.
Then, taking out the jade and carving knife he had previously selected, he used his spiritual power to cut and trim the jade right there in the car.
Finally, wrap the jade with a red string.
With her movements, the red rope gradually wove into a red safety buckle.
"So lovely."
Huo Weiwei couldn't help but say.
Wu Zhao tied the rope securely and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to the hospital to see Wu Xingzhou."
Huh?
The faint smell of disinfectant in the hospital was a little unusual.
Huo Weiwei quietly followed Wu Zhao to the outside of Wu Xingzhou's ward.
Inside the room, Yu Ying was wiping Wu Xingzhou's face with a towel.
Perhaps thanks to modern medical care, Wu Xingzhou's complexion was no longer as bad as it had been when he was in the village.
The originally thin cheeks regained some color thanks to the nutrient solution.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Yu Ying looked up.
"You're my benefactor! What brings you here? Oh, right, Mom and Dad told me they invited you over today..."
Seeing that she was a little excited, Wu Zhao pointed to Wu Xingzhou on the bed.
"Just call me by my name. I just did what I could."
She placed the safety amulet in her hand into Yu Ying's hand.
"Have him keep this on his body. Don't worry, he'll wake up soon."
Yu Ying naturally believed Wu Zhao, and she gratefully grasped her hand.
"I know, thank you so much!"
Huo Weiwei patted Yu Ying's shoulder reassuringly, looking at her with some concern.
"Aunt Yu, you don't look too well. Haven't you been getting enough rest?"
"Now that you're all back, don't worry. Everyone will be fine."
I'm really worried that if Yu Ying falls ill again after Wu Xingzhou wakes up, He Wen will collapse.
Yu Ying responded repeatedly.
"Okay, I promise I won't tire myself out."
After seeing Wu Xingzhou, Wu Zhao did not see the familiar black cat in the ward.
They found a tuft of cat hair formed from yin energy next to Wu Xingzhou's pillow.
Wu Zhao: ...
They're quite territorial; even after leaving, they'll leave some markings.
she thought.
I don't know where the black cat went, but when it comes back and sees the safety buckle, it should understand what she means, right?
Thinking this through, Wu Zhaocai said to Huo Weiwei, "It's getting late, shall we go see your teacher?"
"Okay, Aunt Yu, we'll be going now."
Yu Ying said with a smile, "When Xingzhou wakes up, I'll invite you all to my home again."
