Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

One night is not enough. After all, it will take several nights to prepare stones from several mountains.

These stones should be buried in the soil and among the grass, and should not be too prominent.

For this purpose, Qiao Lianer also dispatched the pangolins in the space to dig the mountain.

After finishing tonight's batch, the sky was already turning pale.

Pei Shijiu was not having an easy time either. He was so busy that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The two sat on the hillside to rest, staring at each other, both very sleepy.

"It's impossible to get a full night's sleep now. We can go to a place where a quarter of an hour outside is equivalent to five days there. It was here that Sister Zhizhi learned a new painting technique."

"It's up to you."

Then, Qiao Lianer returned to the residence arranged by Captain Tang and took Pei Er into that different time and space. After they had rested enough and eaten, they came out. Basically, no time had passed outside.

Early in the morning, the two went to visit the brother and sister.

Dansuo was beaten badly yesterday, and Xida was also badly hurt.

The breakfast delivered from the warehouse area was not touched. Qiao Jianer put it in a basket and carried it downstairs for them to eat.

Although this place is barren, the warehouse area controlled by warlords and wealthy businessmen is not short of delicious food and drink. This breakfast can provide some nutrition for the brother and sister.

Qiao Jianer didn't want to take out too many things so as not to attract attention.

Although Uncle Yin let her go temporarily, his spies are everywhere here.

When we arrived at the brother and sister's home, we saw Xida struggling to stay healthy and making a fire to cook rice porridge.

She hadn't had time to comb her hair, her face was full of sorrow, and her frail body squatted there, looking lonely and pitiful.

"Xida, don't be so busy. Take good care of yourself. I brought you some food from upstairs." Qiao Jianer said as he helped her up from the ground.

Xida fell down hard yesterday and could hardly stand.

Pei Shijiu opened the food basket, which contained fine millet porridge, coconut chicken noodle soup, two beef-filled flying cakes, and two cups of milk.

If it were any other time, Xida would be so happy to see these delicacies.

But at this moment, her brother was lying in bed injured and unable to move, and her heart was heavy.

"Thank you, Sister Shui, and Brother Bai. But have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten. This is extra for you."

Xida picked it up briefly and went in with the coconut chicken noodle soup and a glass of milk.

"My brother was beaten last night. I can't entertain you. Sorry."

She sat down next to Dansuo, who moved his body and leaned against the headboard. The scratches on his face made him grimace in pain.

"I'm fine. It's just superficial injuries. I hope no bones are broken."

Compared to Sidda, he felt more relaxed because the ruby ​​was saved, which meant that Sidda's future happiness was saved.

Pei Shijiu took the bowl and chopsticks from Xida's hand: "I'll feed him, you go and eat some too, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"How can we let you do this?" Xida said, they were born to be served.

"We have something to tell your brother, something very important." This was all Pei Shijiu could say.

Xida nodded and went out, sitting in the corner drinking the millet porridge, without coming in.

In front of Dan Suo, Qiao Jianer took something out of his sleeve and spread it out in his palm.

It was a ruby ​​of fine quality. The morning light shone through the cracks in the wall, and a ray of light hit the gem, refracting brilliant light in all directions.

When Dan Suo saw this thing, his eyes turned red. This was something that the water girl had saved for him.

"Miss Shui, you have half the credit for this gem. You can take half of the money from the sale. Once the gem is sold, you should leave quickly to avoid being targeted." Dan Suo said sincerely.

Qiao Jianer smiled and said, "Who do you think we can sell this ruby ​​to?"

But Suo was stumped by her question. Yes, who could he sell it to? His uncle had spotted him last night and beat him up.

Anyone who knew that he had this ruby ​​would want to kill him to get the treasure.

"I, I don't know either. It's too chaotic here. We don't even dare to take this kind of thing out." He thought about it carefully, and his eyes lit up: "How about breaking the gem into pieces and selling them bit by bit? Even if it's not worth as much as the original value, the quality can still fetch a lot of money."

"Stupid." Qiao Jian'er shook her head. "A valuable gemstone not only needs to be of good quality, but more importantly, it needs to be as large as possible so that it shines more brilliantly when set in a setting. This is about face. You broke the gemstone, greatly reducing its value. It's totally not worth it."

But Suo lowered his eyes and felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.

"I don't know what to do either, Miss Shui, please think of a way."

"Sell it to me." Qiao Jianer threw out three words.

But Suo's eyes twinkled: "But Miss Shui, you said you don't buy gems."

"That's because I didn't know it was you and your sister who were selling it." Qiao Jian'er said, "Do you know how much this gem is worth?"

But Suo shook his head.

"Worth three million taels of silver."

Dan Suo opened his eyes wide, and the heart in his chest began to beat rapidly. He only knew that twenty years ago someone here had picked up a ruby ​​worth more than one million taels. He couldn't imagine a ruby ​​of better quality than the one in his hand, and thought it should also be worth one million taels.

Unexpectedly, Miss Shui gave an estimated price of three million taels.

In other words, this gem is worth one tenth of the price of a mountain of fine jade, but it’s just one.

"Miss Shui, I, I--" Dan Suo's voice began to tremble.

"Don't get excited. It's not safe for you two brothers and sisters to have so much wealth in a place like this. You can't stay here anymore."

"Put the ruby ​​here with me first. No one will ever see it."

"When you have settled down in your new place, I will give you another three million taels."

Although Qiao Lian'er wanted to buy the three mountains, she had no confidence that she could find a gem bigger and better than this ruby.

This kind of thing is hard to come by, and three million taels is only its basic value. It can also have more added value, even to the point of being priceless.

She had a premonition that this gem would be of great help to her in her future life, whenever she needed it.

"Where do you want to go?" Pei Shijiu asked.

This question made Dansuo think carefully.

"I've learned about the capital of our Puchen country. It's actually not safe either. There are many gangs there. If you don't have a backer, it's easy for good things to be robbed."

"The Great Marshland is a land of peace and prosperity. I've always wanted to send Xida there. Could you please take Xida with you? We're wealthy now, so we won't be a burden to you."

Qiao Jianer heard the hidden meaning: "Aren't you going with us?"
