Then, he pulled out a pair of pearl earrings from his pocket for Su Wanyu, "Wife, take a look, what are these?"
"Pearl earrings! Did you also buy these in Haicheng?" Su Wanyu asked excitedly.
"Yes, I bought over ten pairs and sold them all to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. I specially chose the prettiest pair to bring back for you," Jiang Changhai said, fishing for compliments.
"That must've cost a fair amount of money, right?" Su Wanyu asked, looking at the pearl earrings.
"Hehe, wife, if you were to buy these at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, they would indeed be quite expensive. But in Haicheng, they're not costly. I got them for nine yuan and eighty cents. Guess how much I sold them to the Cooperative for?" Jiang Changhai asked proudly.
"Seventeen?" Su Wanyu guessed boldly.
