Chapter 348: Laughing to Death

Anyway it was fake, gone then gone, also nothing to feel heartbroken, but he still kept it in mind, pretended to be nothing, entered the room, first returned to his own room.

Lin Xiuqing had eaten dinner early, the child was also sleeping, she was bored and could only close her eyes to rest.

Seeing him come in, she also asked if he had eaten.

Didn't expect him to just respond casually that he hadn't eaten, then climbed onto the bed, took down the basket hanging on the wall.

Lin Xiuqing looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"See if it's intact."

"When no one is in the room, I locked the room, there are iron railings on the windows, definitely fine."

They hung this in the corridor to air-dry for a few days before, put it in the corridor during the day, brought it into the room at dark, later simply hung it on the wall in the room and opened the window to air-dry, saving trouble.

Ambergris needs to be aired for at least 3 years before use, nowhere is safer than under his own eyelids, anyway their countryside family, things are hung everywhere on the walls in the room, not strange.

"The fake one I made was stolen, just came back and saw it missing."

"Ah?" Lin Xiuqing was surprised, "Could it be that many people came to our house to listen to the radio today, and stole it?"

"Possible. Pay attention to whether there are any rumors in the village these two days." Ye Yaodong said while checking, seeing it was still intact, then put it back.

"Change a clean towel to pad the bottom when free."

"I know."

After the couple said a few words, they heard the room door being knocked, and his mother's nagging sound came from the door, "Still not coming out to eat, still hiding in the room, eating dinner and then looking at wife and child is also in time, half a day not coming out, eating still needs people to call, hurry and eat and go to wash and sleep, still dawdling..."

Ye Mu nagged a barrage at the door, the volume wasn't kept down, they heard it quite clearly in the room.

"You hurry and eat."

"Hmm, have you eaten?"

"Ate long ago."

Ye Yaodong responded casually and went out to eat, asked about the two big brothers-in-law with concern, saw they were still restrained when eating, he hurriedly greeted them, "Don't be polite, treat it like your own home, there is still a lot of rice in the pot."

"Good, good, good..."

Ye Fu also said, "Eat more to have strength tomorrow, eat and then pack."

"Want some wine?"

"I'll go pour, want starfish soaked wine or sea snake wine?" Ye Mu also hurriedly said.

"No need, no need..."

Ye Fu hurriedly said, "Sea snake wine... sea snake wine..."

Ye Mu rolled her eyes at him, old thing, eyes brighten as soon as wine is mentioned, drinking how much is never enough.

As soon as finished eating, Ye Yaodong went to take a bath, Ye Fu also took the two big brothers-in-law back to the old house.

Didn't expect just as he finished showering, intending to return to the room, he heard the neighbor Lan Sister-in-law and Lan Second Sister-in-law talking excitedly about ambergris while killing fish next door.

Rumors so fast?

He pricked up his ears and turned his head, "What ambergris are you talking about?"

"You don't know yet? Also, you didn't return from the sea for long."

"That family that rolls and crawls, don't know what dog shit luck, heard the youngest son picked up a strange stone on the beach this afternoon, was bumped into on the way back and recognized as ambergris."

"Heard now holding it tightly, don't give anyone to see, many people went to their house, want to see what it looks like."

Ah?

His was just painted with wood, although the appearance looked a bit realistic, but ordinary people hold it and distinguish it carefully, scratch it and know it's definitely not, that person is a fool? Or ignorant child?

"Who is the youngest son you are talking about?"

"Just that Xu family in the east, the whole family will roll and crawl, son steals chickens and touches dogs, called Xu what?"

Lan Sister-in-law took the conversation, "Xu Laifu!"

Is that scoundrel?

How could this guy steal something he didn't know? And he put it so casually.

Driven by curiosity, he simply put on clothes and walked out, Ye Mu was still chasing and asking behind, "Where are you going? It's dark and still running out..."

"Go out to stroll, will be back in a while."

"Still can run out to stroll, explain not tired..."

"How can it not be tired, going out to sea is so hard, Dongzi must have something," the old lady helped speak behind, "When to stew an old hen to replenish them, so tired, I see Dongzi's eye sockets are concave, recently lost weight."

Ye Mu rolled her eyes, rooster used to produce milk, eat then eat, hen must be kept to lay eggs, he didn't eat less during confinement meal before, where are the eye sockets concave.

Ye Yaodong walked towards Xu family, listening to various sour rumors all the way, saying Xu family picked up treasure, going to get rich...

He listened and felt ridiculous.

When he was about to reach Xu family door, he saw many people gathered there from afar.

"Take it out for everyone to see!"

"Right, anyway already seen by people, why hide it, take it out for us to see, also broaden our horizons?"

"Right, we haven't seen what ambergris looks like."

"Oh, your family is really going to get rich, I said Laifu this child's name is taken well, life brings wealth, name also attracts wealth, this didn't directly hold a gold lump back, second half of life family doesn't need to worry about eating and drinking."

"Right, this whole family follows to enjoy happiness..."

"Just Laifu this child has blessing, other families don't have this life..."

"Qiuju, your family is going to get rich, don't forget us, have to pull a hand, relatives..."

Xu family stood at the door, smiling so their mouths couldn't close.

Xu father smiled like a flower on his face and still pretended to say: "Who knows if it is, we haven't seen it yet? That child hid it as soon as he brought it back, himself also hid in the room."

Xu mother also said: "I was still playing mahjong, played half and ran back hurriedly, result just arrived at the door and was surrounded by you, don't know what it looks like."

"That just right take it out for everyone to see, everyone helps identify, by the way weigh how heavy, heard this thing is very expensive."

"Right, right, hurry and take it out, everyone helps identify, you family is really going to get rich..."

"Hurry and call Laifu this child out, everyone is waiting to help broaden eyes."

Xu family old lady looked at people with her inverted triangle eyes, face although

Everyone suddenly felt it was pointless to say such things.

"How could it break from just touching it a few times? It's pointless for an old lady to say such things. We're all neighbors; looking at it won't make it lose a piece of flesh."

"Exactly. Everyone is just curious. You won't even let us take a look; you're so stingy."

"It's already been seen by others, yet you're still hiding it. The whole village knows your family found ambergris. Are you afraid that letting us take a few looks will make it disappear?"

"You haven't even gotten rich yet, and you're already looking down on everyone..."

"Look at what? Why should we let you see our own family's things? Go away, go away, it's so noisy. We haven't even had a good look ourselves, why should we take it out just because you flap your lips? If it gets chipped or bumped, what will you use to compensate?" The old lady rolled her eyes in disdain and headed into the house.

"That's right. My son found it with his own ability, why should we let you see it? That's a precious treasure; can it just be taken out for anyone to see? If you break it, selling your whole family wouldn't be enough to compensate!" Xu Mu also said unceremoniously.

Some elderly people are respectable and lovable, while others are truly detestable and annoying.

"Everyone go back first. We need to take a look and study it ourselves." Xu Fu also waved his hand and went into the house.

The other members of the Xu family also entered the house one after another.

They had only just heard the news and rushed back one by one. Before they even had a chance to take a look or ask a few questions, they saw a crowd of people showing up at their door wanting to see it, shamelessly claiming they wanted to "broaden their horizons." It was hilarious.

After entering the house, they locked the door, ignoring the curious villagers outside.

This series of actions by the Xu family offended everyone directly. It was normal for neighbors to be curious and want to see such a rare item they had never seen before. They should have just greeted them properly and politely sent them away.

Their eyes were disdainful, their words were unpleasant, their attitude was poor, and their behavior was arrogant. Everyone felt unhappy watching them.

Seeing others get rich, everyone was already envious to death. Now, encountering such an attitude, unpleasant and sour remarks began to emerge.

"What are you being arrogant about? You haven't even gotten rich yet, and you're already looking down your nose at people, with your tail stuck up in the air."

"Exactly. You haven't even cashed it in yet, and you're acting like you've already got tens of thousands in your hands, getting all puffed up. You look down on people, and even said selling us wouldn't be enough to compensate."

"Can it break just from looking at it twice? You're stingy to death. How could such people get rich..."

"Pfft, it's not even certain if it's real. Nobody has seen it; if they say it's real, is it really real?"

"Who saw it before?"

"It seems to be Old Wang from the small shop. He was sitting at the door eating melon seeds and happened to see Laifu holding something in his arms, then he started shouting about it in the shop. Everyone was halfway through their mahjong and poker games when they all excitedly ran over."

"They really had dog-shit luck... Why don't I have that kind of luck?"

"When will I get to find a treasure too... Sigh... My family can barely keep the pot boiling, we can't go on like this..."

"Sigh... My family is the same, we don't even have rice for the pot. Every day it's just sweet potatoes and taro, or potatoes and pickles. Those shelled things are too much trouble to eat..."

"Heaven has no eyes, actually letting this group of rascals get rich..."

Ye Yaodong watched the farce from the side, laughing to himself. It was just a fake; none of them had seen it clearly, yet it was already being spread around as a precious treasure.

The Xu family hadn't even seen it themselves, but upon hearing the rumors, they really thought their family had obtained a precious treasure and started acting all puffed up, saying that if it broke, selling the villagers wouldn't be enough to compensate. It was truly hilarious.

He wondered what their expressions would be when they discovered it was fake. He was actually looking forward to it.

Hilarious.
