Chapter 84 Picking up Gems

Chen Afu specifically inquired about it, and found out that there were no diamonds in the Dashun Dynasty, so she had not decided when to release these two small stones. As for other jewels, they could be sold at an appropriate opportunity.

In the wanted notice of the gold thief, the stolen items were also listed, and there were no gold ornaments inlaid with emeralds and rubies.

So Chen Afu picked out three rubies and one emerald. He planned to let Chen Dabao pick up these gems when he fell while picking up firewood.

The two emeralds were emerald green and transparent, half the size of the index finger, one round and one diamond-shaped. She picked out the round emerald with a slightly darker color, and she would talk about the preferred one later. The three rubies were smaller than the emeralds and oval, and they should have been taken from the same gold ornament.

Now, she has more than 130 taels of silver and 40 taels of gold. If she can sell another 200 or 300 taels of silver, she can make up more than 800 taels of silver.

The best land here is five taels of silver per mu, and the paddy field is six taels of silver per mu. Regardless of paddy fields or land, she wants to buy more than 100 mu, give dozens of mu to Chen Ming, and keep 100 mu for herself, so that she can be a real small landlord and live comfortably.

She doesn't know how much silver the old man of the Chu family can give. She guessed that although the ten-color sparrow is precious and beautiful, it is definitely not as valuable as Qiqi and Huihui, but it will definitely be worth a hundred taels of silver. The money he gave will be kept for repairing the big yard and pocket money next year.

She also hugged the thighs that should be hugged tightly, and she didn't want to be too harsh on herself. Now the thatched house, she is worried about leaking when it rains heavily.

Chen Afu wrapped a few gems in a handkerchief and told Jin Yanzi about his thoughts. Jin Yanzi stopped what she was doing and said, "As long as it's not something from Yan Chenxiang, Mommy can take it out if she wants."

Chen Afu also talked about Chu Hanyan's illness, meaning that after the little girl returned to Tangyuan, could she take some of Yan Chenxiang's things out for the little girl to eat.

Jin Yanzi said happily, "Okay, I helped my pretty sister and helped my mommy, killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Afu said, "You helped my pretty sister, why did you drag me into this?"

Jin Yanzi chirped, "The one who helped my pretty sister was my mommy, I'm just an unknown hero."

Oh, the little thing is right.

The next day, after lunch, there was no lunch break. Chen Afu put on a bamboo hat and took Dabao and Zhuifeng to the forest west of the village to collect firewood.

It was the hottest time of the day. The autumn sun was still shining, and there were not many people collecting firewood. Occasionally, someone who knew Dabao would greet Dabao. Not many people greeted Chen Afu. Except for those who had intentions towards her, the Chen family and Wu Mujiang's family would talk to her. Almost no one else in the village would talk to Chen Afu. One was not familiar with her, and the other was afraid of her or disliked her toughness.

Chen Afu was happy with this. She took Chen Dabao and Zhuifeng to a place with fewer people. Arriving at a place where no one was around, Chen Afu and Dabao were separated by a certain distance. Seeing that Dabao was collecting firewood seriously, she quickly dug a small pit with a small machete and buried the three gems in it. Then she quickly filled it with soil, covered it with some leaves and branches, and threw the remaining ruby ​​into the branch.

Chen Afu stood up, and Chen Dabao called over, saying that there was a lot of firewood here. When Dabao came over, Chen Afu was suddenly hit by a branch, and with a "ouch" she pushed Dabao in front of her to the ground.

Chen Dabao fell flat on his face. He was about to cry out in pain, but what was that shiny thing in front of him? It was shining red under the sunlight that fell from the branches and leaves. He opened his mouth so wide, and his little claws pulled the branches and leaves apart as quickly as possible to pick up that thing. Why did this shiny little stone look so much like the gem on the head of a rich woman?

His heart suddenly beat wildly, and he clenched his little hands into fists and looked around suspiciously.

Fortunately, there was no enemy.

He turned around and pulled Chen Afu to squat down, whispering in her ear, "Look, mother, my son has found a treasure." His tightly grasped little hand loosened a little.

Chen Afu held back his laughter and pretended to be startled, then whispered in Dabao's ear with surprise, "Son, this is a ruby, worth a lot of money."

Dabao nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand and said, "Mom, take it quickly, let's stay here for a while, if no owner comes to look for it, this thing belongs to us."

This kid is not very greedy. His behavior is already very good, after all, there is no police station at that time. There is no place to hand in the things he picked up, and if he hands them over to the government office, they will definitely be taken away by those petty officials.

Chen Afu smiled and put the gem away, saying, "Okay, let's dig here again to see if there are any valuable good things."

Chen Dabao looked at Chen Afu approvingly and whispered, "Mom is still thoughtful, son will dig right away."

He looked around again, and seeing that no one was coming, he squatted down and started digging with a small knife. Oh, he actually dug out three small stones, two of which were red and one was green.

Dabao was so excited that he grabbed the three small stones in his hand as quickly as possible. Because of panic, he also grabbed half a handful of mud. He looked around again, there was no enemy, and nervously put his little hand into Chen Afu's big hand, whispering, "Mom, put it away quickly."

The little kid's nervousness also infected Chen Afu. She also looked around, and seeing that there was no enemy, she whispered, "Son, this thing is buried so deep, I don't know how long it has been lost by others, we will definitely not be able to wait for anyone." Meaning, if the owner can't be found, then these things should belong to them.

Chen Dabao smiled brightly and nodded, "Yeah", and the mother and daughter carried firewood and walked out of the forest with Zhuifeng.

However, Chen Dabao would fall down every once in a while, then look carefully at the ground, and use his little hands to rub the dry grass on the ground. Not seeing anything shiny, he got up disappointedly.

Chen Afu was very amused, he really thought he could pick up a few gems after falling down.

She held his hand and whispered, "Dabao, it's a rare good luck to pick up treasures after falling down. Most people will never encounter it in their lifetime."

Dabao didn't fall down again after hearing this.

Go back home and close the door. When Chen Ming and Wang heard about this incredible thing, they were shocked. When they saw the gems with some dirt on them, their mouths opened wide and they even stuttered when they spoke.

This, this, this, how could this happen!

Chen Ming said with emotion, "Afu is indeed a blessed person as the monk said. Once she recovered from her illness, not only did our family change drastically, but Dabao also had such a good thing happen to him. Oh my God, I can't believe it, it's too unexpected. This jade and three rubies are worth at least one hundred taels of silver."

It will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope you can continue to support Qingquan and Wenwen. The quality of Wenwen is not only the author's hard work, but also inseparable from your encouragement and support. Let's work together to make this Wenwen achieve better results!
