Lin Xiaoman told the origins of the gold ingots as if they were real, and he actually believed them. After explaining, he added, "It's good for us to know about this, but we must not spread it out. Because there is a rule now that things from the land must be handed over. If it gets out, I'm afraid they will ask us to hand it over!"
"You think I'm stupid as your mother, how can I tell others about this?"
"That's right, it must be kept secret! This is definitely left to us by our ancestors! It's ours! We definitely can't hand it in." Lan Yachun bent down and picked up Mu Xiaole, saying, "Xiaole, this is a stone. You can't tell anyone else, otherwise Mom will be angry, okay?"
Mu Xiaole tilted his head, looking confused.
"If you tell others, you won't have any candy to eat!" Lan Yachun immediately changed her words.
When he heard that there was no candy, Mu Xiaole immediately covered his mouth with his two little hands and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Although her daughter was young, she was very sensible, especially when it came to candy. Knowing that she wouldn't tell anyone, Lan Yachun smiled with satisfaction and looked at Lin Xiaoman with wolfish eyes, "Xiaoxiao, where did you dig it up? I'll go dig some more!"
"Well, I just dug a big hole, there shouldn't be anything left. Besides, sister-in-law, if someone sees me, they'll get suspicious."
"Maybe there are more? It would be more reassuring to look for them again. I know what's going on, and I'll make sure no one else notices."
"Your sister-in-law is right. We need to take another look. What if there's more? It's all money! Yachun, you're in charge of digging. I'll be on the lookout. If anyone comes, I'll cough. Let's be smart!" Wang Cuifen urged impatiently, "Daya, which field did you dig it from?"
"Okay then, I'll take you there."
Lin Xiaoman held Mu Xiaole and took the two of them to the field to dig for a while, but of course there was nothing.
During dinner, the three of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter. Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang were completely kept in the dark. Back in the room, Lin Xiaoman quietly told Mu Xiaoxiao. Mu Xiaoxiao was so surprised and excited that she seriously analyzed the situation with Lin Xiaoman: We can't sell it in town. After all, a town is so small. We must sell it in the city, and we have to sell it in a dispersed manner, to several stores, to avoid being targeted...
The next day, when Lin Xiaoman woke up early in the morning and left the room, he noticed that the lobby and kitchen were both quiet. He looked around and found that the porridge was already in the pot, but there was no one there.
Well, he must have gone to dig for gold.
Not wanting to bother with them, Lin Xiaoman beat four eggs and fried them in a large bowl. When the eggs were done, Mu Xiaoxiao came out and the two sisters drank porridge together.
Halfway through the meal, Mu Weimin came out of the room, gave Lin Xiaoman a flattering smile, and went to serve himself some porridge. A moment later, Mu Huaqiang came over with Mu Xiaole in his arms. Seeing Lin Xiaoman was there, he didn't dare to say a word. Mu Huaqiang obediently fed Mu Xiaole the porridge first, and then ate himself.
After breakfast, after sitting for a while, Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun came back together. Without even looking at their expressions, Lin Xiaoman knew that they had returned disappointed.
After breakfast, Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang went out to work, Mu Xiaoxiao went to school, and Lin Xiaoman discussed with Wang Cuifen and Lan Yachun that they had to go further to the city to sell gold. The two nodded repeatedly, thinking that Lin Xiaoman's words made sense.
Two days later, it was Saturday. Everyone got up early in the morning. Mu Huaqiang took Lan Yachun on his bike, Lan Yachun held Mu Xiaole in her arms, and Lin Xiaoman took Mu Xiaoxiao on a borrowed bike.
When we arrived in town, we left the two bicycles with Aunt Xiao, and the four adults and one child got on the 7 o'clock bus to the city.
The bus was shaking and bumpy, and it stopped from time to time to pick up passengers. After driving for 2 hours, we finally arrived at the city station.
Of the group, only Mu Huaqiang had been to the city, but he had been brought there by someone else. Relying on him to find a place? That was unrealistic.
Lin Xiaoman followed the crowd and pretended to be a country bumpkin. Mu Xiaoxiao asked for directions in pure Mandarin. After asking all the way, the group finally arrived at the department store.
An eight-story building is definitely a skyscraper in this era.
"Brother, sister-in-law, we bought different things. You guys go shopping and we'll go shopping. Let's meet at the door at lunch time." Mu Xiaoxiao winked at Lan Yachun while speaking.
Lan Yachun immediately understood that they were going to sell gold.
Although Mu Weimin and Mu Huaqiang were frightened by the beating and had been very well behaved during this period, the women were unanimous in their decision not to tell the father and son about the gold they had found.
So, selling gold was also done to avoid Mu Huaqiang. As for why he brought him to the city? He was simply here to work as a porter.
"Be careful and stay safe!" Lan Yachun warned with a meaningful tone.
"Yeah, we know that, that's it."
"good."
They entered the department store together and then parted ways. Lin Xiaoman and Mu Xiaoxiao took a look at the gold shop in the department store. The price of 24K gold jewelry was about 55 yuan per gram.
After understanding the market situation, the two went out.
After leaving the department store, Mu Xiaoxiao continued to ask people for directions in a sweet voice. She asked along the way and arrived at a commercial street not far from the department store.
After searching around in gold shops and pawn shops, I finally sold one to a gold shop on the main street and one to a pawn shop at the end of the street.
Two 30-gram gold ingots, one for 1,460 yuan and the other for 1,480 yuan.
Lin Xiaoman had originally planned to sell a few more, but Wang Cuifen and the other two firmly disagreed. They thought that selling too many at once would attract attention, and there were so many thieves these days that if they stole so many in the car, it would be a disaster. So this time, he only brought two.
