No Letting My Daughter Sit at the Table? Fine, Then No One Will Eat!

As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...

Chapter 408 She's waiting to see (1/2)

The carriage stopped in the courtyard, followed by Ling Ce's men, plus Shui Qingyan, Qiu Li, and Dani.

Sang Rou and Ling Qiang wanted to come along, but Ling Ce ordered them to wait outside the courtyard.

The gate was closed neatly and bolted from the inside.

The hanging flower gate is quite a distance from the main house, so the sound cannot travel there at all, and there is no need to worry about people hearing it. The walls on both sides of the courtyard are covered with iron nails and wooden spikes, so there is no need to worry about anyone climbing up to peep.

Ling Ce instructed his men, "Handle it carefully."

After the servant agreed, he climbed into the carriage and brought out a long wooden box, which Li Dani, Zhou Yu, and Wang Qiuyue stared at curiously.

The wooden box was opened in front of them, revealing a dazzling golden interior. Li Dani, Zhou Yu, and Wang Qiuyue swallowed hard.

Good heavens, inside were rows of gold hairpins! Entwined with gold threads, adorned with pendants and tassels, the three of them thought these could be treasured family heirlooms!

In ordinary times, it would be jewelry; in times of famine and chaos, it would be money, which could be exchanged for food to survive.

Shui Qing's appearance was fine, firstly because she had seen many of these in China, and secondly because Bai Manshan and Li Huyu had previously gifted her a complete set of jewelry, inlaid with jade and other precious stones, which was extremely luxurious and extravagant.

However, it must be said that Ling Ce's batch is much more exquisite.

Bai Manshan and Li Huyu's outfits were for formal banquets, while Ling Ce's was something he could wear anytime, adding a touch of elegance without being flashy.

No wonder I like innocent, delicate girls like Sang Rou; that's my aesthetic sense.

Shui Qing was about to express her gratitude when she saw the servant close the lid and hand it to Li Dani, who was standing next to the carriage.

In her flustered state, Li Dani felt that the small wooden box was heavier than the hoe and rake she was using. Trembling, she said to the other two, "Why are my hands shaking a little?"

"Can you two come and get it?"

Zhou Yuwang Qiuyue shook her head like a rattle-drum, and quickly took a step back: "No, no, you should hold it, Da Ni. I'm clumsy and afraid of dropping it."

The servant laughed and said, "I took the cheapest item; the ones at the back are the more expensive."

Just as he said, the boxes that were opened one after another contained gold bracelets, jade hairpins, jade bangles, jade pendants...

As the servant alighted from the first carriage and moved to the second, bringing out calligraphy, paintings, and vases, the Shuiqing Mall began to ring incessantly!

During this period, Li Huyu was unable to come, so there was naturally no fish maw. The previous floods had also severely damaged the water chestnuts, so they couldn't be sold. Fortunately, mushrooms were always available and the price was high. So, with buying and selling, the balance in the mall didn't decrease too much.

They can buy night vision devices, binoculars, stun guns, and various other supplies without feeling guilty.

Shuiqing always knew that making money was important, especially for the mall. However, last year there were floods and wars, so she couldn't go out at all and couldn't let the mall detect more of what it wanted. Now, hearing the familiar ding-dong sound, she excitedly clenched her hands.

Very good!

The balance in the online store can finally increase.

The balance is like a bank deposit; of course, the more the better, and the higher the balance, the more reassured you are.

Ling Ce kept an eye on Hu Shuiqing out of the corner of his eye. When the gold hairpin and gold bracelet came out, her expression was flat. He thought that gold had a price but jade was priceless. But when the jade came out, she was moved.

Even when the jade hairpins, bracelets, and pendants of excellent quality and clarity were presented, she remained indifferent and unmoved.

Just as he was doubting himself, Hu Shuiqing's eyes lit up after the calligraphy and painting were finished.
