Although He Teng carried a bamboo basket on his back like local farmers entering the city, the shop owner was sharp. He could tell from He Teng's appearance that he wasn't a local. Observing He Teng's meticulous attire, the owner figured maybe this customer might actually make a purchase!
He Teng indeed was swayed by the shop owner. He didn't really understand the whole Red Tourmaline or Green Tourmaline thing; he only knew the pendant was exceptionally beautiful and perfect for his wife.
Thinking of He Zhilan's fair skin and how stunning she would look wearing the pendant, He Teng felt tempted.
But when he asked the price, He Teng was dumbfounded.
The cost of the pendant alone, not even including the chain, would take nearly half a year's salary. It wasn't that He Teng wasn't willing to buy it for He Zhilan, but he hadn't brought that much money with him today.
