Chapter 51: You can’t make money by doing it fast for long

After Mrs. Wei cleaned the shell meat with her hands shaking slightly, she actually found a very round and beautiful pearl!

The round pearls sparkled in the sunlight, and the Yu family courtyard was silent.

Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng were both dumbfounded.

Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er never thought that the river clam picked up by their sister would contain such a beautiful bead!

Ju Ge'er's eyes widened: "Wow, this, is this a pearl?"

Xing Xing also smiled with her round eyes and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

When Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng came back to their senses, they looked at each other and were both ecstatic!

Surprisingly, pearls actually appeared?!

…

In the evening, Old Man Yu returned with his four sons.

As soon as he stepped in with his left foot, he was immediately pulled into the house by Mrs. Wei.

Bai Xiaofeng had a faint smile on her face and immediately closed the gate after the Yu family came in.

"What's going on? What's happening?" Old Man Yu was a little confused.

Mrs. Wei suppressed her emotions and said to her sons, "You come too."

The male members of the Yu family were all a little worried.

What happened?

After the men of the Yu family entered the main house, Yu Erhu, who was honest and straightforward, could not hold back any longer and hurriedly pulled Bai Xiaofeng, who was the last one to close the door, and said, "Wife, what happened? Don't scare me?... But don't panic no matter what happens. We worked there all day today, and people said we were efficient, so they kept us. We will go to work tomorrow, and the family will have more money in the future!"

Before Bai Xiaofeng could say anything, Yu Erhu had already spoken a lot in a panic.

When Yu Erhu finished speaking, he found that Bai Xiaofeng's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling, and she gave him a sidelong glance: "Fool."

Yu Erhu was even more confused!

When Mrs. Wei saw that the men were all in the room, she spoke up, "I want to tell you something."

Seeing how cautious Old Man Yu was, he became nervous: "Old woman, tell me!"

Several sons also said: "Yes, mother, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

"That's right, what happened? We have a lot of people and we are united, so if we work together, there will definitely be no problem!"

Mrs. Wei's hands were trembling slightly as she reached under the pillow on the kang and took out a small box.

As soon as Old Man Yu saw it, he recognized the small box. It was a pair of silver earrings that he bought for Mrs. Wei when the harvest was good.

Mrs. Wei likes it very much and usually only wears it when there are big happy events like her son getting married.

Later, when a disaster struck and the family was in financial difficulty, Mrs. Wei sold the pair of silver pendants. However, she was reluctant to throw away the small wooden box that contained the silver pendants, and has kept it until now.

This time, Mrs. Wei actually used this little wooden box that was so precious to her to store things?

While Old Man Yu was stunned, he saw Mrs. Wei solemnly open the small wooden box.

Although it was dark, there were candles lit in the room. The light from the candles reflected on the things in the small wooden box, dazzling everyone - in the small wooden box, there was a big, round, and smooth pearl!

Old Man Yu swallowed his saliva. Although he had lived for decades and was considered mature and steady, this was the first time that his voice trembled when he spoke: "...What, what is this?"

Yu Erhu shouted "Hi" and said excitedly: "Dad, don't you recognize it! This is a pearl!... My God, I have never seen such a big and round pearl!"

He excitedly reached out to touch it, but Bai Xiaofeng slapped his hand down.

Bai Xiaofeng glanced at him and said, "Your hands are rough. Don't scratch the pearls."

Yu Erhu laughed foolishly: "Okay, okay, I won't touch it, I won't touch it!"

Yu Sanbao had been to many places and had seen more than his family. Even so, he took a deep breath and had a hard time calming down. His voice was trembling as he spoke: "...Pearls of this quality are incredible. They can be sold for at least several dozen taels of silver!"

A few dozen taels!

This number made everyone in the room gasp!

Even though Mrs. Wei and Bai Xiaofeng were mentally prepared, they were stunned when they heard this number! Then they were overjoyed!

A few dozen taels!

Yu Daniu managed to remain calm: "Mom, where did you get this pearl?"

Mrs. Wei tried hard to suppress her ecstasy: "...Xingxing picked up a river clam and dug it out from inside! How much is it worth...how much can it really be sold for?"

Mrs. Wei was busy asking Yu Sanbao.

It's Xing Xing again! ?

The men in the Yu family were stunned for a moment, and then they vaguely felt that it was not strange for this to happen to Xingxing.

After all, ever since Xingxing came into their family, good things have never ceased to happen in their family!

Yu Sanbao knew that the pearl came from a legitimate source, so he forced himself to calm his excitement and said with a smile, "It's hard to say. With such good quality, if it were sold in the state capital, it might be sold for a higher price. In our small county, it might be cheaper, but it's worth a few dozen taels at least!"

The appearance of this pearl is too perfect! Yu Sanbao boasted that he had seen the world in the prosperous state capital, but he had seen that in those glittering and glittering silver shops, the prices of pearls were often several dozen taels of silver. But in such shops, the most expensive pearls sold were not as good as this one in front of him!

All members of the Yu family were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves!

Fortunately, although Old Man Yu doesn’t talk much on weekdays, he is the backbone of the Yu family.

He coughed and said, "This pearl is a windfall. It is said that wealth should not be shown to others. When we made a few taels of silver from selling herbs, many people were jealous of us. As for this pearl, we must keep it a secret in our family."

Old Man Yu’s sons nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Wei also said, "Don't worry, I have already told the children that this matter must not be spread outside no matter what."

Old Man Yu nodded, and discussed with Mrs. Wei: "...It's a little uneasy to keep such a big treasure at home. How about letting the third child take it and find a way to exchange it for some silver?"

Mrs. Wei actually thought the same thing: "I'll listen to you."

Old man Yu glanced at his sons.

Yu Sanbao was somewhat excited because his father trusted him so much. The other sons also had excited expressions and apparently had no other thoughts.

Old Yu nodded secretly in his heart.

Although the Yu family had a hard time in the past, their hearts were still united no matter what!

So the matter was settled.

The family would soon have several dozen taels of silver coming into the account, and everyone, whether it was the oldest, Old Man Yu and Old Lady Wei, or the sons and daughters-in-law, were all a little elated.

"However, this money is ultimately a windfall. A family cannot survive long-term by relying on windfall." Old Man Yu looked at his sons and said, "As for the third son, take this bead with you to the state capital to sell it. The rest of us will continue to work in other villages tomorrow and earn money honestly. Do you understand?"

The sons of the Yu family all responded, "I know!"
