As Qi Ran spoke, she subtly revealed the gold bracelet on her wrist, and then pulled down her collar, revealing a gold necklace.

"Sigh, I'm tired of wearing all these gold and silver jewelry. I'll just leave them here in a few days. If you want them, take a look and pick them up." After saying that, Qi Ran casually pulled out a poor-quality bracelet from her pocket and threw it on the ground.

Chen Qin, who was resting in her room, heard Qi Ran say those words.

She dashed out of the room, picked up the bracelet from the floor, and exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, I'll take the bracelet! Thank you!"

Chen Qin spoke lightly, as if she had found some great treasure.

A moment later, Lu Yunfeng leisurely emerged from the room and took the bracelet from Chen Qin's hand. He held it up to the sunlight, where it gleamed brilliantly, and said with great satisfaction, "Not bad! With a little more saving, we can soon make a gold longevity lock for our son!"

During this period, the family basically did not go out to work, and their food, drink and daily necessities all depended on what the older family threw away.

"Pfft—" Shen Qianqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "This bracelet..."

"Can it be considered a treasure?"

"What are you laughing at!" Chen Qinquan assumed that Shen Qianqian had never seen anything good before and immediately sneered, "This is made of pure gold. You're just jealous that I got this, and jealous of my relationship with the eldest son's family, so you're saying this on purpose, aren't you?"

As soon as Chen Qin finished speaking, Shen Qianqian burst into laughter. "Made of pure gold? Are you kidding me?"

"Of course!" Chen Qin's face was full of indignation; she felt that Chen Qianqian in front of her was just jealous of her. She was in a good mood today and didn't want to waste any more words on her, so she was about to put the bracelet in her pocket and turn to leave when, unexpectedly, the bracelet was snatched away.

"Who? Who dares to steal my bracelet!" Chen Qin roared angrily, and immediately found that the bracelet had run into Lu Yunzhi's hand. Before she could question him, she saw Lu Yunzhi gently blow on it.

A layer of golden powder vanished instantly with the gentle breeze, replaced by the bracelet's original copper color.

"Tsk tsk, I've only ever heard of longevity locks made of gold and silver, never of them made of copper."

"I've never heard of someone picking up a brass bracelet and then accusing others of being jealous of their family."

Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi, a married couple, sang in unison.

Lu Yunfeng and Chen Qin's faces immediately turned ashen, like liver.

"Sister-in-law, come out and explain yourself to us!" The two shouted at Qi Ran in the room at the same time.

Qi Ran stomped her foot angrily in the room, "Why didn't we just pick it up and take it back sooner!"

That's good!

It made her lose all face!

But the two women from the second wife's family outside the door kept shouting, so Qi Ran had no choice but to take out another bracelet from her jewelry box.

Although the style is a bit old-fashioned, it is by no means easy to get Qi Ran to completely give up this bracelet.

With a ruthless heart, she broke off a golden bead from the bracelet, which was about the size of a person's little fingernail.

"Oh dear, I have so much stuff, I can't even count how many things I need to throw away every day. Here, these are the things I really need to throw away today, the ones before were just a starting point." Qi Ran said, tossing the things to the side.

Everyone heard the sound, but couldn't see where the jewelry was. Especially the second wife's family.

The two of them stared wide-eyed and began searching the yard thoroughly.

Finally, they found the small bead under a moldy wooden board. "This..." The two men from the second house were speechless for a moment.

That's way too small!

Compared to before, my sister-in-law is way too stingy this time!

Upon seeing this, Shen Qianqian and Lu Yunzhi burst into laughter.

Anyone who didn't know better would think you threw a bead the size of your palm!

"This is what you call 'throwing a brick to attract jade'? I think I only read 'throwing a brick to attract a jade'!"

The couple mocked Qi Ran in unison once again, making Qi Ran's face flush with anger and embarrassment.

The two from the second wife's family still depended on the first wife's family for survival, but... they looked down at the beads in their hands that were almost invisible to the naked eye, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute the words of the two from the fifth wife's family.

Suddenly, Chen Qian's voice entered their ears:

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, didn't you pick up a lot of junk that eldest sister-in-law threw away before? Why don't you take this opportunity to take it out and see if it's a fake that's been sprinkled with gold powder?"

"If that's the case, you should quickly take advantage of the opportunity while your sister-in-law is too embarrassed to admit it to exchange for..."

Even more benefits!

Chen Qin and Lu Yunfeng exchanged glances, and in tacit agreement, immediately turned around and went inside.

Drill.

"Oh no!" Qi Ran thought to herself, and was about to slip out when Lu Laosan, who had rushed back from outside, blocked her at the door.

"Sister-in-law, where are you rushing off to in broad daylight?"

As soon as Lu Yunchuan finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Qi Ran.

superior.

Following up on Lu Yunchuan's question, the second wife pretended not to understand and continued, "Yes. Isn't your sister-in-law busy checking if she's disposed of the waste correctly?"

Qi Ran could only smile awkwardly as she was surrounded by people from the three rooms.

between.

The second wife laid out the items one by one; there were probably more than ten of them.

“Real gold is not magnetic, while fake gold powder may contain magnetic metal components that can be attracted by a magnet.” Lu Yunzhi said to the two people from the second wife’s family, “If you want to test it, go get a magnet now and stick it on these pieces of jewelry to find out if they are real or fake.”

"We don't have any magnets at home." Chen Qin thought for a long time and realized that she really didn't have any magnets. Was she just going to let this perfect opportunity to scam the eldest son's family slip away?
