Hua Jiaqing went to the front hall full of doubts.

Not only was my mother here, but she also asked me to go? This was truly a first.

The three of them were like invisible people in the eyes of the master of the house. Even when they saw each other in the mansion, they would just bow and nod before passing by.

It had never happened before that the head of the family wanted to talk to him. The reason was very simple - he was not valuable enough.

Only the talented descendants of the Hua family can win the favor of the head of the family. Hua Jiaqing originally had good talent, but she seemed to have given up on cultivation and spent most of her time working as a fisherman.

She was only busy making money to treat her father's illness, and spent very little time on cultivation.

Because of this, she has been abandoned by the head of the family, who thinks she is of no use and will only fall behind others step by step.

Hua Jiaqing doesn't care about this at all. Everyone has something that they value. Perhaps pursuing the great path is the "progress" recognized by the world.

But to her, Daddy's health is more important than this.

Everyone just despised her father as a waste, but who remembered that when her father was healthy, he was recognized as the best fisherman in the whole of Yuge City!

Even now, Hua Jiaqing is a top-notch fisherman of the same age. This is all due to the guidance of her father, who never tires of teaching her relevant skills.

"Great uncle."

Hua Jiaqing walked to the front hall, first saluted the head of the family, and then looked at her mother who was sitting below.

There was obvious joy on her mother's face, but also a hint of worry, which made Hua Jiaqing even more confused.

What on earth happened?

Also, why are my uncle and his family here?

Looking at the couple sitting next to his mother, Hua Jiaqing's face was barely perceptible with annoyance.

"Jiaqing, you have been working as a fisherman in the water recently. Is everything going well?" Hua Lin took a sip of tea, then looked at Hua Jiaqing and asked.

"Replying to Uncle, it went well."

"Well. I just heard something by chance, I don't know whether it's true or not, saying that you have just got a blue-striped cat's eye snail. Is this true?" Hua Lin asked again.

Hua Jiaqing's heart sank.

The head of the family knew about something that just happened yesterday?

Could it be that my uncle and the others came here just because of this matter?

Oh no, judging by their temperament, they might be targeting the blue-striped cat's-eye snail!

Hua Jiaqing was not panicking at first. Since she had decided to leave the Hua family, it didn't matter even if the head of the family called her over and scolded her. It would not affect her at all.

But if these people want to covet the blue-striped cat's eye snails... can she resist them on her own?

Can their family leave safely?

"Hua Jiaqing, I'm asking you a question, why don't you say anything?" Her father's younger brother Hua Chen urged.

Hua Chen is Hua Dong's only biological brother. Hua Dong used to earn a lot of money when he was a fisherman. Hua Chen often came to ask for money with his wife and children, smiling and saying nice things, asking for money from his brother.

But after Huadong was paralyzed by snake venom, the family stayed away from him, as if they were afraid that they would get close to him.

When Hua Jiaqing's family was in the most difficult time, they asked Hua Chen for help, but Hua Chen did not care about their past kindness at all and directly kicked her out.

Since then, the two brothers have cut off contact and have had little communication.

"That's true." Hua Jiaqing said.

She wanted to deny it, but since they had called her over, they must have already known about it, so there was no point in denying it.

"That's a treasure. It's hard to find one or two in our whole city. Since you got it, you should hand it over to the head of the family." Hua Chen's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.

"Yeah, what's the use of a little girl like you holding this kind of thing? It should be left in the Hua family, or taken to the shop to serve as a gimmick." Hua Chen's wife Chen Ling also looked eager.

"I've already sold it," Hua Jiaqing said coldly. "Besides, I risked my life to get it. There's no reason to hand it over, right?"

Sure enough, there must be something bad happening when they come here!

Hua Jiaqing was so angry that she almost laughed.

The Hua Chen family does not live in the Hua family. They also opened a small shop in Yuge City, mainly selling some seafood.

Because they are rather unscrupulous in their business dealings and often secretly replace goods with inferior ones, their business is actually not very good.

However, there are many new customers in Fisherman's Song City, and many monks from other places come and go every day, so their store has no shortage of customers, and there are different people to exploit every day.

Hua Jiaqing felt that the reason this family came running over after hearing the news and asked him to hand over the blue-striped cat's-eye snails to the Hua family was fake, and the real reason was to let the two of them put the snails in their own store as a so-called storefront gimmick!

Why would they make such a trip for something that has no benefit to them?

"Sold it? We heard someone offered a high price for it, but you didn't sell it." Chen Ling frowned and snorted coldly, "I also heard that Zhenxiang Pavilion announced that they had recently acquired a blue-striped cat's-eye snail and that it would be auctioned in a few days!"

If Ning Zhishui were here, he would sigh: the blue-striped cat's-eye snails appeared in the same life, but the speed of their spread in this life was several days faster than in the previous life.

In her previous life, Hua Jiaqing sold it on the spot, but in this life, she refused to sell it and took the item to the auction for appraisal and consignment for auction.

Perhaps because the price was so high on the spot, Hua Jiaqing's refusal to sell surprised passers-by, so the news spread even faster.

It is also possible that Zhenxiang Pavilion spread the news in order to get a high price, which is why so many people knew about it.

"Yes, I took it to the auction." Hua Jiaqing said.

"What are you doing with it there, kid? It's not like our Hua family doesn't have a shop." Hua Chen got anxious when he heard this. "Go get it back quickly. The auction commission is so high. What a waste of money!"

"Is it your money that's being wasted?" Hua Jiaqing asked back. "It's my stuff, so I have the right to decide what to do with it, right? Uncle, what do you think?"

She looked at Hua Lin who was silent.

"Yes, it's your stuff, you can do whatever you want with it." Hua Lin put down the teacup and said.

"Brother!" Hua Chen said hurriedly, "The Hua family supports their family, so they naturally have the right to take care of her!"

"Excuse me, what does this have to do with you?" Hua Jiaqing stared at Hua Chen. "Have you ever supported me, or treated my father's illness? In recent years, I've been working as a fisherman and my mother has been using her skills to support our family. Apart from living in the Hua family's house, I don't think I've spent a penny of their money. So, are you trying to collect money on their behalf? What qualifications do you have?"

"Asshole, how can you talk to your own uncle like that!" Chen Ling slammed the table, her brows raised, her face full of sarcasm.

"You know I'm your uncle when you can take advantage of me, but where were you when my father needed money to save his life?" Hua Jiaqing also sneered.
