These pieces of jadeite raw stones are priceless.

She quickly put the stone away and hurried back home.

If there are jade veins hidden in the nearby mountains, then...

Jiang Jinhe couldn't contain his excitement and his heart was pounding.

This is even more exciting than winning a huge lottery ticket.

Top-grade jadeite is a treasure that is hard to come by even with money. If you can own a mountain of jadeite like this, you won’t have to worry even if the road to Beijing is paved with gold.

Jiang Jinhe, who had originally planned to set off the next day, decided to stay a little longer.

She planned to go up the mountain to explore and see if there were any other undiscovered gems.

When Song Wenqin returned, Jiang Jinhe couldn't wait to share this discovery with him.

Song Wenqin was playing with a stone in his hand, lost in thought. Jiang Jinhe gently pushed him.

"My husband, what do you think? Why don't we stay here for a while?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow."

Jiang Jinhe readily agreed.

The next day, Zhang Xiuqin went into the mountains with the men in the village to look for food. However, because she lost her patience, Xie Xiaofang exposed her little plan at the foot of the mountain.

"It was all instigated by that woman Xie Xiaofang, otherwise how could I have come up with such a dirty trick!"

Jiang Jinhe didn't take it to heart and simply ordered people to bring Xie Xiaofang up the mountain, leaving her and Zhang Xiuqin to kill each other.

This can not only divert their attention and give you peace of mind, but also prevent them from causing trouble again. After all, there is a limit to how tolerant you can be.

Not long after the search team started moving forward, the two men found an excuse to leave the team.

Others are already accustomed to this.

Jiang Jinhe is wholeheartedly devoted to finding raw stones today.

In order to have a reference, she brought a small piece of raw stone for comparison.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally discovered several nice raw stones.

Song Wenqin rubbed it hard on the big stone a few times, and the emerald green inside was indeed revealed.

The two exchanged glances, their heartbeats speeding up.

Looking at this mountain now, it seems like a hidden treasure.

"Husband, let's go ask the village chief now. Maybe the village has some records of this mountain."

The two men collected the newly discovered rough stones and headed straight to the village chief's house.

"Village chief, what do you think this is?"

The village chief happened to be at home, so Jiang Jinhe immediately showed the raw stone in his hand.

These stones were slightly different from the ones that the village chief had given her after preliminary polishing, so the village chief couldn't recognize them for a while. She looked at the stones and looked at Jiang Jinhe with confusion.

"This is……"

Jiang Jinhe's heart sank and he quickly explained.

"These are the same stones you gave me before."

Jiang Jinhe looked at the village chief with hope, only to see the village chief shaking his head helplessly.

"I don't understand these things. Those stones were passed down from my ancestors. They are said to have magical properties, but I don't know what they are specifically about."

The village chief said with relief.

"You said you've found something similar, which means you already know the details of those stones. So, it seems like this thing is destined for you."

The village chief smiled broadly and looked very happy.

Jiang Jinhe hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not reveal the true value of the raw stone.

If you are guarding a mountain of gold without knowing it, once it is revealed, it will probably bring disaster to the village.

But Jiang Jinhe felt it was inappropriate to accept such a valuable item for free, so he went home to get some valuable items and food, such as the jade pendant given by Lin Shen, as an exchange for the stone.

The village chief declined several times, but seeing Jiang Jinhe's insistence, he had no choice but to accept it.

After the two left the village chief's house, Jiang Jinhe once again led Song Wenqin on the mountain road to hunt for treasure.

"Hubby, right now, no one knows about the treasures in this mountain. Let's pick up some and bring them down from the mountain. This will give us more money to settle down in the capital."

Although Song Wenqin was not short of money, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, you are very thoughtful. I have some connections and businesses in the capital, so it won't be difficult to sell them when the time comes."

Jiang Jinhe was slightly surprised. What surprised her was not Song Wenqin's foundation in Beijing, but his willingness to share these things with her.

In the past, no matter how she tried to hint at it, Song Wenqin never revealed any information beyond his current identity.

How could a country bumpkin own property in the capital?

"You don't have to sell them, actually. If you happen to find some fine jadeite from the raw stones the village chief gave you, polishing them into jewelry or other decorative items would be perfect for you to use to make friends and expand your network."

Song Wenqin glanced at her, so he was not surprised by her opinion.

Now, he can treat Jiang Jinhe as a brand new person.

"That's a good idea. Thanks for the reminder. I'll ask for your advice when I need it."

Jiang Jinhe pursed her lips and smiled, and the two continued to search for raw stones in the mountains while chatting.

"oops!"

Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard from the woods.

"careful!"

This was followed by the man's hurried warning.

Jiang Jinhe slipped and almost fell, but fortunately Song Wenqin reacted quickly and held her steady.

"Are you okay?"

Song Wenqin asked with concern.

Jiang Jinhe shook his head, patted his chest with lingering fear, and lowered his head to check the ground beneath his feet.

"it's okay no problem."

The path they took to find the stone was covered with gravel, and if they were not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Honey, wait a minute!"

Jiang Jinhe grabbed Song Wenqin who was about to move forward and kicked away the stones at his feet.

The soil was exposed, and a small hole appeared.

Jiang Jinhe bent down to take a closer look and found that it was a rat hole.

After looking around, she said:

"Honey, this is a bamboo rat's hole. Let's split up and look for it. There should be another exit."

Sure enough, they found quite a few cave entrances. Jiang Jinhe said excitedly:

"Great! We stumbled upon a treasure. Let's go and get everyone to catch bamboo rats."

On the way back, Jiang Jinhe noticed a bird of prey circling in the sky, and it was difficult to tell from a distance whether it was an eagle or a vulture.

As she led everyone back, she thought that perhaps she could use the bamboo rats she had caught to lure these birds of prey.

After all, a bird of prey weighs about ten pounds, which is equivalent to the weight of several bamboo rats.

Everyone had experience in catching rats, and they quickly used smoke to force the bamboo rats out of their holes.

After a busy period, they caught eighteen fat bamboo rats.

Shi Gaoyuan looked at the bamboo rat, which weighed a full five kilograms, and laughed heartily:

"Great! I can finally eat meat again. My mouth is almost dry. Looks like sister, you have to show us your cooking skills today!"

Jiang Jinhe was also happy with the bamboo rats. They were different from ordinary rats.

Their main food is bamboo and plant roots, so they are clean and free from parasites.

Bamboo rats not only have delicious meat, but are also good for health. They can boost immunity and nourish the liver and kidneys. Even their fur is a rare material, making them truly a treasure among rats.

"Brother Shi, don't worry. I'll make sure you enjoy your meal today, but I have other plans for this bamboo rat."

Jiang Jinhe took the bamboo rat from Shi Gaoyuan's hand, tied it with a rope, and led everyone into the woods. Although everyone didn't understand why, they still followed his instructions. After the arrangements were completed, Jiang Jinhe pointed to the sky and announced:
