Gold Scale

Wang Fei took over the gold recycling shop "Jin Laishun" left by his grandfather, and found a yellowed notebook in the counter drawer, with seven "rules for going out" and nine "rules for the store" crookedly written on it. He thought it was just an old man's weird habit, until an old lady wearing an ancient gold bracelet walked in. The scales moved automatically without wind, and a sigh came from the bracelet. The old gold that is recycled contains the unfinished thoughts and obsessions of the original owner. Some people mortgaged their daughter's dowry with gold, some cast their life-saving money into gold bars and never redeemed them, and some people sank the last gold ingot to the bottom of the river and never recovered it. Wang Fei gradually discovered that he could "hear" the sound of gold and see the afterimages of memories emerging on the surface of the metal. Su Wan, the heir to Ruifeng Gold Store on the next street, was forced to take over the old store due to the death of his grandmother. The two met because of a strange goldware dispute. When the unscrupulous operator "Glasses Liu" disrupts the market by dumping stolen goods at low prices, and when the two "rules for going out" missing from his grandfather's notes involve an old debt that has been dusted, Wang Fei has to face a choice - whether to continue to be a responsible shop owner, or to seek justice for those silent gold. Rules are dead, scales are alive, but some debts cannot be weighed by the scale.
