Reborn into a Farming Family: My 18 Virtuous Wife is a Hero

Chapter 16 The Initial Power of Supernatural Abilities 6

Su Mu smiled, suppressing her excitement, and said sweetly to the short, thin man who was cutting the stone, "Uncle, could you help me cut it? It will only take a few minutes!"

The short, thin man was kind-hearted; seeing Su Mu's adorable smile, he agreed.

He asked someone for a marker and drew lines along the edge of the rough jade to avoid damaging the jade inside when he made a cut. Seeing that Su Mu knew a thing or two, the people around him who hadn't left patiently continued to watch.

The stone cutter placed the half of the rough stone on the stone-cutting machine, and with a "sizzle," cut it down along the line drawn by Su Mu, revealing the white stone.

People around immediately exclaimed, "Little girl, you're doomed!"

If I cut it once and it turns green, then I'll give myself away. I'm not stupid.

Thinking this, Su Mu pretended to blush and watched as the stone cutter, who seemed a little anxious, continued to cut.

The stone cutter made another cut.

Immediately, people around them shouted.

"It's green!"

"It's gone up! It's gone up!"

"The little girl is in luck today!"

The stone cutter poured a basin of water over it, wiped it a few times with a silk cloth, and a beautiful emerald green appeared before everyone's eyes. At that moment, someone else cried out.

"Hibiscus variety!"

"My God! This is a Hibiscus variety, second only to the Ice variety. The color is perfect and the translucency is excellent. It's simply top-quality!"

"……………………"

"Young lady! I'll offer you 50,000, sell it to me!"

"You think you can buy a hibiscus seedling for 50,000? Do you think I'm an easy kid to bully? I'll offer 100,000, little girl, are you in or not?!"

Hearing the surrounding people bidding up to 100,000, Su Mu felt a little hot-headed, but he didn't lose his composure.

She smiled at the people around her and said, "Uncles, let's take a look after we've unraveled them all. If it's just a matter of skin color, I, Su Mu, can't very well cheat you, right? Anyway, it's free, so unravel it and see."

Once that was said, no one around objected. As soon as Kaopi Lu's name was mentioned, everyone calmed down. Right, what if Kaopi Lu bought it herself? Wouldn't she lose a fortune? Thinking about it this way, they all looked at Su Mu with friendly eyes, thinking that this girl had a conscience.

The stone-cutting continued, and everyone's hearts tightened as they watched the cuts being made, fearing that a single cut would destroy the unknown jade inside.

After cutting off some of the edges, all that was left was to grind it by hand, and finally pour water on it to wash away the white dust.

The jade pieces, about the size of an adult man's fist, were a light, soft, and pure green, with high transparency and no impurities. Their translucency was exceptional; it was as if water could be squeezed out of them. Under the sunlight, they shimmered with tiny green sparkles, reminiscent of the poem "A lotus emerging from clear water." The clear, exquisite green captivated many eyes, and it even showed a slight tendency to evolve into an icy jade, making it an absolute gem among lotus-type jade.

The former owner of the wool felt a pang of heartache, but he had just promised to give it to her and there were so many witnesses. He was so regretful that he almost vomited blood!

"Little...little girl..."

Upon recognizing the owner of the wool, Su Mu asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?!"

The man chuckled and said, "Young lady, I just wanted to ask if you could sell me your jadeite for a lower price."

Su Mu found it amusing. This man had just been angrily saying he didn't want it anymore, but now he was smiling and trying to buy it back at a low price. He quickly asked, "Uncle, how much are you going to pay?"

The man stammered and gestured for a while, then held up five fingers and said, "How about fifty thousand?"

Before Su Mu could even speak, the people around him objected.
