A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

"I'm sorry, Aunt Six," Huang Bo replied, "There are some seafood in the bucket, so the smell is a bit strong. Please bear with me."

Aunt Huang Liu wanted to say something, but when she saw that no one around her said anything, she stopped talking.

After returning to the village, everyone went home.

As soon as Huang Bo entered the house, he immediately asked the fourth child to fetch water from the well, wash the seashells and deal with them as soon as possible, and also clean the new wooden barrel to remove the odor.

He Hui Niang returned to the room with her bag, and the children all ran to the kitchen. They were very curious about Haibei as they saw it for the first time.

While her father and fourth brother were busy, Huang Mulin picked out the seashells that she had discovered earlier that were shining.

There are five of them, three large and two small, and the largest one has the strongest glow.

"what happened?"

Huang Haolin asked as he saw his little sister pick out five Haibei specifically.

The eldest brother Huang Qilin and the third brother Huang Xilin also looked puzzled.

"Have you noticed that these seashells are slightly glowing?"

Huang Mulin asked tentatively.

After hearing this, the brothers looked carefully for a long time, but could not see anything different. Huang Bo and Huang Jinlin also came over to take a look, but they shook their heads and said they did not see any light.

That means only she can see it, Huang Mulin thought, and turned around to ask fate.

"Is there any problem?" Huang Haolin was a little worried.

My little sister has been a little different since she was young, very well-behaved, very sensible, and she speaks fluently, and she doesn't seem like a child when she expresses her opinions. Now seeing how careful she is, I am a little worried that something bad will happen to her again.

They never wanted to encounter the same thing again after the two previous experiences.

"No." Huang Mulin shook his head: "Fourth brother, can you help me break it open with a small stone?"

"it is good."

When Huang Haolin was fetching water, he picked up a suitable stone and washed it clean, which would come in handy now.

Huang Haolin was very nervous when he did it for the first time. He first knocked on the edge carefully and found no change. Then he knocked on another position, the most raised part of the shell. He heard a loud hollow sound and then he hit it hard several times.

The shell was cracked open, revealing the tender white meat with a strong fishy and salty taste.

Huang Haolin carefully opened the shell fragments and poked it with his finger, "It feels like there is something inside."

Huang Mulin's heartbeat quickened.

"Fourth brother, dig out the meat," she said.

Huang Haolin did as he was told.

Soon, the eyes of those who knew what was going on in the kitchen widened.

There are four small beads in the flesh of the seashell. The largest one is slightly golden and very round. The other three are smaller and of good quality, being pure white.

"what is this?"

Huang Bo asked.

"Pearls, probably."

Huang Haolin responded dryly, while Huang Xilin nodded silently.

They had seen sketches and introductions of Pearl in the miscellaneous notes given by their grandfather, and they all matched.

"pearl!?"

Huang Bo took a breath of cold air!

This is something only rich people can afford!

Huang Bo has also learned some characters and read some books with He Hui Niang over the years, so he is no longer a farmer who knows nothing.

He looked at the little girl squatting in front of him. The first time this girl wanted to buy something, she bought such a huge fortune.

Huang Bo felt a little dizzy.

"Brother, open this."

Huang Mulin pointed to the largest seashell.

Huang Jinlin heard her calling him, came to his senses, and quickly followed her example to open it.

The scene became quiet again.

Huang Bo thought it would be better for him to faint first.

There was only one, a black pearl the size of a copper coin.

It is shiny black with a hint of colorfulness, smooth all over and free of impurities.

Huang Mulin didn't know how to praise him.

In her previous life, she had only seen pearls on the Internet, in TV dramas, and on screens. She had no money and never went to a jewelry store, so this was her first time to see real, pure pearls firsthand.

"What's wrong with you?"

After He Hui Niang packed up her things, she found that there was no movement in the kitchen and walked in curiously.

Of course, when she saw the pearls lying on the ground surrounded by her husband and children, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

"Can pearls be sold for a lot of money?"

Huang Mulin suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Huang Haolin's voice was hoarse, "It can be sold for a lot of money."

Speaking of this, Huang Haolin's mind started to work active.

There are no large jewelry stores in Linhai Town, and small jewelry stores cannot accommodate such top-quality pearls.

There is a large and reputable pawn shop in town, but the prices there are not as high as those you would get if you sold directly to a jewelry store.

Moreover, they were just peasants, and holding such valuable pearls would be too conspicuous. They were afraid that they would be subjected to the situation of murder and robbery as described in the novels.

Huang Xilin came to his senses instantly, and He Huiniang and Huang Bo understood after thinking about it.

This is a hot potato!

It is really uncomfortable to guard the treasure but not dare to use it.

When the eldest and the fourth heard the second's analysis, their enthusiasm quickly cooled down.

Huang Mulin ignored their hesitation and asked Huang Jinlin to pry open all the remaining seashells.

Finally, there was one black, three slightly golden, and nineteen milky white pearls on the ground.

The black one is the largest, followed by the gold one, and the milky white one is about half the size of the black one. Five of them are not well shaped or flat, but can be used as medicine.

The whole family gathered around Pearl in silence.

Huang Haolin felt like he had racked his brains to the point of having a hole in his head, and he still hadn't figured out a good way to sell the pearls safely without any hidden dangers.

"Sell it to my aunt."

After seeing Zhenzhu, the first person Huang Mulin thought of who could help her with the transaction was Yang Lijun, the owner of the embroidery shop.

For some reason, she felt that Yang Lijun could handle these pearls well and without any worries.

"Sister Yang?"

He Hui Niang was stunned, it seemed feasible.

But how should I start this conversation?

"Don't sell the black one, give it to mom. Give the gold one to aunt, and let aunt sell the others to make money."

Huang Mulin arranged everything as soon as he spoke.

He Hui Niang couldn't help but think that this little girl was really smart.

Black pearls are rare and precious, and even if Yang Lijun took them out, she would be tempted to make money.

There were three golden ones, one of which was given to Yang Lijun as a thank-you gift. The rest were all sold for only a few hundred taels of silver. For someone who owned an embroidery shop, he would not take such a big risk of embezzlement.

Moreover, based on her contact with Yang Lijun in recent years, she can see that she is not the kind of person who loves money particularly. In fact, she is not short of money.

As long as they keep the matter of the Black Pearl a secret and don't leak any information, there shouldn't be any problem.

The whole family looked at He Hui Niang. She was the only one who had a long contact with Yang Lijun. The others had only had contact with her once today during the day. Except for Huang Mulin's inexplicable trust, others were more willing to believe He Hui Niang's judgment.

"It should be fine. Pack it up first. I'll finish the embroidery in a few days and bring it over to try."

The destination of the pearls was decided, except for the black one.

He Hui Niang refused to accept it, saying that the black pearl was to be given to her daughter as a dowry and she would keep it for her daughter first.

Huang Mulin couldn't persuade his mother, so he had to follow her. He thought that when he made more money in the future, he would be able to buy black pearls.
