“We didn’t ignore you! My little darling! We were just so surprised! It turns out this is all thanks to our little darling!” Seeing that she was about to cry, Cai Xiaolian hugged her.
"Xinxin, you're so good at keeping quiet! We almost thought the old house was some kind of sacred land, but it turns out the amazing thing is you, Xinxin!" Gu Nian laughed.
"Xinxin, you've made your father suffer so much! Last time when you were fighting the big cat, didn't you put this bead in my bathtub but not for yourself? It made your father think he was a god descended from heaven, and his injuries won't last a day!" Gu Shouxin said with a helpless smile, recalling the few days he had been struggling with this and not knowing what to say.
"Yes, Xiaoyu said not to tell anyone. I was so stupid before, but now I understand. You guys aren't just anyone," Gu Xin said with an embarrassed smile.
"By the way, Xinxin, you said you gave it to Xiaoyu? Did she see this jade bead?" Gu Shouxin asked, recalling Gu Xin's last words.
“No, she just thought I fed her snacks made by her sister. Besides me, you are the only ones who have seen the jade beads; no one else has seen them,” Gu Xin replied.
"That's good! Xinxin is so smart! Don't let anyone else see this jade bead in the future. Thank you for trusting us, Xinxin, but others won't treat you like we do. 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime!' Xinxin, you must not tell anyone about this, okay?" Gu Shouxin said seriously.
"Can't grandpa and grandma do it either?" Gu Xin asked, blinking her big eyes.
Gu Shouxin frowned and looked at Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian.
"Let's not tell you yet! For now, only the four of us in our family know." Seeing that the other two had the same expression as him, Gu Shouxin said.
"Okay, okay." Gu Xin nodded obediently.
Actually, she didn't intend to say it. She only said it today because her family had offended the county magistrate's family, and the county magistrate's family looked down on them.
She could only throw the jade beads into the well, to eat them herself, to give them to her grandfather, and at most, to sell vegetables.
If their parents and older sister are smarter, they might be able to do more with the jade beads, making their family better and stronger, so that no one will bully them anymore.
"Xin Xin, tell me honestly, do you eat one every day?" Gu Nian asked curiously.
Gu Xin nodded.
"No wonder! Your hair is back to normal, you've grown so much taller, your skin is fairer, and you're smarter than before. You're such a treasure!" Although she had already guessed the answer, Gu Nian still found it unbelievable to hear Gu Xin's confirmation.
She thought that time travel was already a cheat code, but she didn't expect this one to be even stronger. She wanted to share this local cheat code with other time travelers.
Is this meant to let them turn the world upside down?
“Since Xinxin has such a wonderful thing, I’ve come up with an idea,” Cai Xiaolian said after a moment of silence.
The father and his two daughters looked at Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian said, "We've seen the effects of jade beads on crops. If we put them into the toiletries that Niannian is researching, the effect will be even stronger. As for the plants needed to make these products, we can cultivate them directly at home. Right there at the old house. After that, we can lock the old house, and we can go in by ourselves without anyone noticing anything unusual. A flower field every night, and in a month, we can produce more than a thousand sets of goods with the help of those sisters."
