Shen Man's face turned cold. Lin Sisi deduced from her words that Shen Man's desire for the jewelry was not actually to sell it for money.
If it weren't for the money, and given the strict regulations that prevent her from wearing it to adorn herself, what exactly is Shen Man's motivation?
She seemed to be getting more and more confused, but at the same time, her curiosity was growing stronger.
These pieces of jewelry, especially the antique ones, must have a very special use for Shen Man, or they must hold a very special secret.
So, does Lin Qingyan's phoenix jade pendant also hold a special secret?
"Shen Zhiqing, if you had a pair of very beautiful jade earrings, what would you do with them?"
"Of course I'll hurry." Shen Man was so eager for these pieces of jewelry that she almost blurted out the idea of blood binding. Realizing she had almost let something slip, she quickly corrected herself: "If I had a pair of beautiful jade earrings, I would definitely hide them well so that no one else could see them. Unfortunately, I don't have any."
"If you have jade but can't wear it or sell it, do you think it's still meaningful to own it? Do you still want to own it?"
Shen Man was already on guard and gave Lin Sisi a watertight answer.
"Who told us women to love these things since ancient times? Even though we can't wear them or sell them, we're satisfied as long as we can own them. It's pleasing to the eye to take them out and look at them from time to time, isn't it?"
Lin Sisi sighed inwardly, unsure whether Shen Man was telling the truth.
After they finished picking the mushrooms around them, they went to meet up with Chen Lu and the others.
After the male educated youth finished chopping firewood, they prepared to hunt.
When they first arrived, they roughly cleared away the surrounding pits, and now they're going to check if any small animals have fallen in.

Lu's mother and Li Qinqin brought the braised pig offal to the police station.
Lu's mother handed the lunchbox to the police officer in charge of guarding Lin Qingyan. On a whim, she asked the police officer if she could see Lin Qingyan. To her surprise, the police officer agreed, but they still couldn't go directly to the meeting room. Instead, they could only talk through the small door in the middle of the guard room's main door.
After they handed the pig offal inside, Grandma Lin couldn't wait to open it. Smelling the fragrant aroma of the offal, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"It smells so good!"
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "I cooked this. I'm glad you like it."
Grandma Lin seemed not to have heard her and continued, "It's just not as good as what my girl cooks."
Everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
Lu's mother didn't feel embarrassed at all: "I know my skills are definitely not as good as Xiao Lin's, but I'm very happy that my mother-in-law likes it."
Lin Qingyan also smelled the aroma, and it did indeed seem inferior to what she cooked.
She smiled and said to Aunt Lu, "Auntie, it's very well made. It smells delicious to me too."
"That's good, that's good. When we were at home, Zhengting said that my cooking wasn't as good as yours. I was worried that you two wouldn't like the taste. Now I'm relieved."
"Auntie, you're worrying too much. You did a really good job."
Grandma Lin had already eaten two pieces with her chopsticks. She handed the lunchbox to Lin Qingyan and said, "Girl, you should eat quickly, or it will get cold."
Lin Qingyan also picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of fatty intestine.
He praised Lu's mother, saying, "Auntie, it's delicious."
Just now, Lu's mother mentioned Lu Zhengting. She wondered how he was doing. He had dragged his legs, which were undergoing treatment, from Mopantun Village to the county town. She wondered how much of an impact that would have on his legs.
"Auntie, how is Comrade Lu's leg? I haven't been able to treat him these past few days. He came all the way here last time, did he feel unwell again after going back?"
"No, no, Zhengting has been doing well."
In fact, he didn't know whether Lu Zhengting was feeling unwell or not.
Her son has always been a very strong person, and he rarely says anything even when he is feeling unwell.
Her son probably didn't want Lin Qingyan to hear bad news about him, so she only reported good news and not bad.
Lin Qingyan nodded gently after hearing this.
“Auntie, Lin Guanghui has been arrested. Believe me, I will be out soon. Tell Comrade Lu not to worry, I will definitely heal his leg.”
"Mmm, okay."
Li Qinqin reported to Lin Qingyan about the rabbits Lin Qingyan was raising.
"Sister Qingyan, your rabbits are doing well and haven't lost any weight, so you don't need to worry. Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you. I noticed that the mother rabbit's belly has gotten much bigger, and it seems like she's pregnant again."
"real!"
This was a happy occasion for Lin Qingyan.
Grandma Lin immediately chimed in, "The old rabbit is pregnant again. Shouldn't we kill the male rabbit?"
She's been craving that male rabbit for over half a year.
Everyone found it both funny and adorable that she only thought about eating.
Lin Qingyan couldn't bear to see her mother-in-law go without meat, so she nodded and said, "Okay, we'll eat rabbit meat when we get back."
But then Grandma Lin suddenly remembered something and waved her hand: "Let's wait a little longer. What if its mate is pregnant with only female rabbits? If we kill it, we won't have any male rabbits in the house. If there are any male rabbits among the baby rabbits after its mate gives birth, then we can kill it and eat it."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say, Mother-in-law."
Grandma Lin chuckled. Her mouth was greasy from eating, and Lin Qingyan took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her mouth clean.
The meeting time was up, and Lu's mother and Li Qinqin could no longer talk to Lin Qingyan, so they went to the side.
