Under An An's guidance, everyone came to the foot of a mountain wall.

Zhao Hu carried An An around a few times and said, "An Bao'er, how are you leading us? There's nowhere to go!"

"Uncle!" An An patted his head and pointed toward the cliff. "Look what's that? Why is it so bright? It's blinding!"

Zhao Hu carried her closer and saw a green object embedded in the mountain wall, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly.

That thing was more than ten feet above the ground, and even An An riding on Zhao Hu's neck could not reach it.

Without waiting for Zhou Yu's instructions, Xu Xia quickly stepped forward, leaped up, and reached out to grab a protruding rock on the cliff. He examined the object carefully and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, it's jade!"

As he spoke, he reached out and tried to pry it open.

An An was afraid that he might damage it, so she quickly cast a Koi bonus on him. Although most of it dissipated, the remaining amount was enough to preserve the jade.

Xu Xia shook it a few times and then broke the jade off. He loosened his grip on the stone and it landed steadily on the ground.

Everyone quickly gathered around, asking, "Is it really jade?"

Xu Xia held the jade, which was larger than a brick, in his hands and handed it to Zhou Yu: "Sir, please take a look."

Zhou Yu took it, looked at it over and over for a while, and said with a smile: "It is indeed jade."

"Wow!" An An patted Zhao Hu's head. "Uncle, let's look for it again. Maybe there's more! Wow! We're going to get rich!"

Zhao Hu said, "You little money-grubber!" but he ran very fast.

As the head of the family, Aunt Zhao did not need to ask for anyone's opinion and said directly, "Sir, please accept this jadeite."

"How can this be!" Zhou Yu waved his hands hurriedly, "It's ownerless, whoever gets it owns it. This was discovered by An An and Hu Zi, so it should belong to yours."

Qin Ying felt uneasy: "Sir, logically speaking, this kind of thing should belong to the court. Wouldn't it be bad for us to take it privately?"

Zhou Yu laughed heartily, and then said, "Miss Qin, I am the local official. I said you can take it, and you can take it!"

Aunt Zhao added, "If it weren't for Brother Xu, we wouldn't have been able to get Lao Gao either, so this piece should still be given to Master Zhou!"

"How about this," Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's see how much we can find in the end, okay? I won't be hypocritical and say that I don't want it. After all, I'm quite short of money right now.

"How about we split what we've found? No one will be at a disadvantage, and no one will take advantage.

"The water content of this jade is very good, it should be able to sell for a lot of money.

"I will definitely exchange my share for money, as for what to do with yours, you can discuss it among yourselves.

“My opinion is that if you don’t need the money urgently, it’s better to wait.

"This kind of jade is always valuable and hard to come by.

"If you want to make some jewelry in the future, this is a great choice."

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying looked at each other and were both moved.

At this time, An An shouted again: "Come here quickly, there are so many here!" Although not as big as the previous one, there are at least thirty-four pieces scattered around, and the smallest ones are as big as An An's fist.

The location is still relatively high, and some are hidden in the grass on the cliff.

This time Zhou Yu also came to help.

It was also the first time that everyone knew that his martial arts skills were very good. He jumped up as lightly as a bird and landed silently.

Aunt Zhao was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She turned around and asked Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian in a daze, "Did you know your eldest brother is so capable?"

But I saw the same surprise on the faces of the two sisters. Oh, they didn't know either.

Zhou Yu and his servant finally dug down thirty-nine pieces of jade of various sizes from the mountain wall, plus the large piece, forty pieces in total.

An An's face flushed with excitement, and she kept shouting, "I'm rich, I'm rich!"

Aunt Zhao quickly shushed her, "Be careful not to let others hear!"

Several people formed a circle and looked at the jades carefully.

Each one is of first-class quality.

Zhou Yu spoke first: "I'm the higher-ranking official here, so I'll divide it up. There are eight of us in total, so each of us gets five pieces."

He distributed each small pile very evenly, and even took out two pieces from his own pile and placed them on An An's side. "Without An An, we can't get rich. I have the biggest piece here, which is already a great advantage, so I'll give these two pieces to An An."

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian quickly said, "I...we didn't do anything, we can't accept this!"

As he spoke, he pushed it out.

Aunt Zhao quickly held their hands and said, "Stop! The adults have said that whoever sees it gets a share! Yingzi and I didn't do anything, so do we not get a share?

"No! I've lived half my life and still don't know what it's like to be rich. I really want to try it!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Qin Ying also said, "Let's divide it this way!" He returned the two pieces that Zhou Yu had divided, "Sir, you are making the decision for the people of Qin County. I heard that you have taken away all your private property.

“It’s okay that I didn’t have the opportunity before, but now that I have the opportunity, I should naturally make it up to you.

"I'll give you two more pieces. I'm also vain, so I won't give you all of them."

Seeing this, Aunt Zhao grabbed two pieces from herself and Zhao Hu respectively and gave them to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian simply pushed all the jadeite over.

Xu Xia sucked her teeth and was about to push hers over when Zhou Yu said, "It's no fun if you keep doing this! Take them back now!"

"Aunt Zhao, this share of yours is the guarantee of your retirement, and the same goes for Miss Qin's.

"Hu Zi's share is his family fortune. Whether he wants to pass it on or use it for his own benefit in the future, it's all his freedom.

"An An's property is temporarily in the care of Miss Qin. This will be her confidence no matter what she chooses to do when she grows up.

"Of course, our An An is so capable, this can only be one of the reasons for her confidence.

"Also, my elder sister, my second sister, and Xu Xia, since I've given it to you, just keep it with peace of mind.

“Keep it to yourself, don’t tell others easily.

"To avoid attracting covetousness, if you want to sell it, you can come to me first and I will help you exchange it for cash."

After a pause, he continued, "I think it's best for us to stay here tonight. We might find something new by shining a torch at night.

"Why do I feel like there's an emerald mine here?

"If that's the case, it won't be easy to hide. So, we should hide as much as we can before reporting it to the court!"

The atmosphere instantly became relaxed.

Everyone put away their jade and started discussing where to stay for the night.

It is definitely not possible to sleep outdoors. There is heavy dew and it would be terrible if you get wet and cold.

So Zhao Hu and Xu Xia went to cut some wood and built two sheds on a smooth section of the mountain wall.
