"Sister, look, what is this? It's so beautiful!"
Shen Mingyu held a pink bead and screamed in surprise.
Shen Mingzhu turned around and saw Shen Mingyu holding a thumb-sized, pink bead in his hand.
The beads emit a pink halo under the sunlight. They are round and very beautiful.
Shen Mingzhu took a deep breath, hurried forward, picked up the bead and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise:
"Oh my god! They are really pearls, pink pearls, full of grains, pure color, top-quality pink pearls!"
The system suddenly prompted: "Host, a top-quality natural freshwater pink bead has been detected. The exchange price is 200 taels of silver. Do you want to exchange it?"
Shen Mingzhu was stunned. A freshwater pearl could be exchanged for two hundred taels of silver?
Hearing the name Zhenzhu, Shen Mingshan and Shen Mingbao were excited and came over. Shen Mingshan asked excitedly: "Mingzhu, is this really Zhenzhu?"
Shen Mingzhu gently stroked her heart, which was beating fast due to excitement, and then said with certainty:
"Yes, this is a pearl. It is not only a natural pearl, but also a top-grade pink pearl. It is very expensive." He asked Shen Mingyu again.
"Where did this pearl come from?"
Shen Mingyu pointed at the big fish on the ground and said, "I took it out from the mouth of that big fish."
Shen Mingzhu: ??? Can pearls grow in the mouth of a big fish?
Shen Mingyu excitedly snatched the pearl, held it in his hands and examined it carefully as if it were a priceless treasure, and asked like a curious baby,
"Sister, how come there are pearls growing in the mouth of a big fish? Could this be the legendary dragon ball?"
Then, he said to himself, "No, how could the dragon ball be in the fish's mouth? Could it be that the fish was transformed from a dragon?"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at Shen Mingyu speechlessly, "What are you thinking about in your little head? I have read about pearls in a book..."
Shen Mingshan and Shen Mingbao listened carefully to Shen Mingzhu's explanation of the origin of pearls and asked how to identify the quality of pearls.
"Pearls are known as the tears of the ocean. They are deeply loved by people for their elegance, nobility and mystery. How do we distinguish pearls? First, look at the surface of the pearls. The surface of a good pearl has a warm and soft luster. There are some tiny concave and convex textures on the surface of a real pearl. These textures are naturally formed during the growth of the pearl..."
"Natural pearls are those grown in shellfish or clams. Pearls come in many colors, including white, pink, black, gold, etc...."
Shen Mingshan and his companions were fascinated by what they heard. Shen Mingshan finally sighed: "Zhuzhu still knows more. It seems that she needs to read more books. I will also read more books in the future to broaden my horizons."
Shen Mingzhu agreed, "Of course, books contain both beauty and wealth. My third cousin can read, so he can read more books to increase his knowledge."
Shen Mingyu and Shen Mingbao, two little naughty boys, looked at Shen Mingzhu, who was talking, with admiration on their faces. At this moment, Shen Mingzhu was confident and sunny, and the sunlight shining on her seemed to give her a layer of golden light.
The two little ones looked at Shen Mingzhu with stars in their eyes. At this moment, Shen Mingzhu's image was tall and sunny in their hearts, filling them with admiration.
"Sister, you are so awesome! Sister, let's look for more pearls."
Shen Mingyu happily opened the fishing net, and suddenly, two clam shells appeared in front of him. He jumped up excitedly.
"Sister, look, the clam shell, is there a pearl inside the clam shell?"
Shen Mingzhu hurried forward and was stunned when she saw the clam shell being opened by Shen Mingyu and Shen Mingbao!
What's happening here?
She looked at Shen Mingyu in disbelief and asked involuntarily:
"Mingyu, are you the reincarnation of a koi?"
Shen Mingyu touched his head in confusion and asked, "Sister, what is the reincarnation of koi?"
Shen Mingzhu took a deep breath and grinned: "My Mingyu is lucky. These two pearls are big and can be sold for a lot of silver."
She reached out to take the pearl and heard Shen Mingyu mutter, "I'm not the reincarnation of the koi, my sister is. These fish and clams were fished up by my sister."
Shen Mingzhu paused and quickly put the pearl away.
At this time, the system asked for credit: "Host, do you know the benefits of this Tongzi? Your good luck value has increased your Koi Good Luck. Host, you must work hard and complete the exchange task with Tongzi! The good luck value is right in front of you!"
Shen Mingzhu: ??? So, I am the reincarnation of the koi?
System: "Host, don't be so arrogant."
Shen Mingzhu: You stinky dog, you ruining fun dog, get out!
Shen Mingzhu told them not to tell anyone about Pearl after they returned. Now the first wife was at home, and if the people in the first wife's house knew about Pearl, they would most likely snatch Pearl away.
Shen Mingshan agreed with this and nodded in agreement. He once again reminded the two children to watch their mouths and not say anything nonsense when they returned.
Shen Mingzhu and her friends were happily carrying the buckets and walking home. They met many people on the way. Everyone looked at the fish in the bucket in disbelief. Shen Mingzhu also heard from others what happened at home today and muttered:
"Go ahead and make them die. Once you make grandpa angry, we'll separate and live a good life."
Shen Mingshan frowned tightly. He also felt that the first wife had gone too far recently.
In the past, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the first wife. The second wife's family worked hard and wanted to work together to make life better at home.
As the eldest son of the first wife and the eldest grandson, he should get more benefits, but during this period of time, he realized how wrong the second wife had been in the past.
He touched the copper coins in his arms and felt that this was the real life. In the past, he earned money to support the first wife, but his own family did not have a single copper coin. The second wife was really a fool.
No wonder the eldest wife called her mother a slave. Didn’t she treat their whole family like slaves in the past?
Thinking of this, Shen Mingshan's steps became much heavier.
Shen Mingzhu looked at Shen Mingshan's back with a smile on her lips. The days were developing in the direction she had predicted, and the second branch of the Shen family was awakening.
It’s good to be aware! Only when you are aware, you won’t be treated like a slave or be ripped off. Only when you are aware, you can fight for yourself and let everyone live a good life.
In the old Shen family, Old Man Shen has decided to split the family and has ordered Old Man Shen to call Old Man Shen back tomorrow to split the family. If Old Man Shen does not come back, the family will be split directly.
Old Man Shen's decision made Shen Mingkuan collapse in his chair on the spot. If the family was divided, who would pay off his gambling debt of 500 taels of silver?
If the family property is divided, how will he spend the money? How will he support his lazy and greedy family?
Shen Mingkuan almost cried to death, begging Old Man Shen: "Master, we can't do this! Don't split up the family first. If you do, how can I take part in the imperial examination?"
Old Man Shen: "What does the separation have to do with your participation in the imperial examination? Even if the family is separated, you can still participate in the imperial examination."
Shen Mingkuan wanted to cry but had no tears. Could he say that he owed 500 taels of silver for gambling? How could he pay back the 500 taels of silver with only one day left?
What if the gambling house comes to your door?
Just when he was in despair, he saw his wife, Mrs. Hu, and grabbed Mrs. Hu, who was pregnant, and used her as a shield:
"Grandpa, we can't split up the family. Seeing that Hu Shi is about to give birth to a child, what should Hu Shi do now that the family is split up? What about the child?"
Su sneered, "Oh, how funny! If the family is divided, then Hu can't survive? If the family is divided, then Hu can't have children?"
