So Qiao Rong swam away, and after a long while he finally climbed onto the boat. There were a few river clams in his clothes. His brother asked him for them, but he didn't give any. He showed the river clams he had picked up this time to Cheng Youning, "Young Master, how many do you want?"

Cheng Youning reached out and picked one from the middle. It didn't look good, but Qiao Rong had gone into the water with great effort to fish it out, so he still picked one, thinking that it would be enough to support his family.

Qiao Rong said: "Pick another one."

Cheng Youning shook his head and said, "Just one will do." After all, Qiao Rong's younger brother was grabbing Qiao Rong's arm to get a clam. Even if Cheng Youning wanted to make a pair, he would change his mind when he saw Qiao Rong's younger brother.

"Sister Bajiao, these two are for you."

Bajiao took the two clams that Qiao Rong handed to her and said, "I have a knife."

Qiao Rong's younger brother was impatient: "Brother, help me, brother, help me."

Right under Cheng Youning's eyes, Qiao Rong pried open two clams, revealing the clam meat. Qiao Rong rinsed the clams in the river and handed them to his brother. His brother took it, plucked out the clam meat and stuffed it into his mouth. "Delicious."

Cheng Youning was stunned. Qiao Rong's younger brother was so fierce.

"Young Master, let me help you pry the clam open."

Cheng Youning held the clam in his hand, shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't want to eat it."

Qiao Rong said, "It's delicious."

Cheng Youning shook his head again: "I don't eat it raw. It has to be boiled in water or roasted over fire."

Basho said, "This is how we eat clams when we catch them. They are delicious."

Cheng Youning insisted on his own opinion, clenched his teeth tightly and refused to eat.

Bajiao ate two, Qiao Rong ate two, and Qiao Rong's younger brother ate four. Qiao Rong's younger brother came out very full. His belly was already bloated, but when he saw the clams, he acted as if he had never eaten them before. It was obvious that the child did not know the difference between hunger and fullness.

Even so, the child did not give up and insisted on asking Cheng Youning for the river clams in his hand. When his brother couldn't persuade him, he burst into tears.

Qiao Rong had no choice but to say, "I'll go down and get him another one."

Cheng Youning said, "Don't fish anymore. We've been out for a while. It's time to go back. I'll give this to him, but give me the clam shell. I want to show it to my family."

Qiao Rong really had no way to deal with this greedy brother, so he had to pry open the clam. Cheng Youning felt so distressed, as he had originally wanted to take the one he raised at home, but now it was pried open.

Cheng Youning pointed at the clam meat and said, "Is this a pearl?" As he spoke, a pearl had been picked up by Cheng Youning.

"Pearl, how could there be a pearl here?"

"What are pearls?"

"The pearl is mine."

"Show me the pearl?"

Just as Bajiao was curiously rushing over to take a look, Qiao Rong's younger brother also followed suit. A pearl accidentally fell into the river, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Cheng Youning narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he said, "Hu Lao Er! Hei Bajiao! You two are the kind of guys who are always causing trouble instead of helping others."

Cheng Youning, with a dark face, jumped onto the bamboo raft in anger and said to Qiao Rong, "Let's go back."

Qiao Rong followed and said, "Young Master, don't be angry. I will go into the water and find the pearl for you."

Cheng Youning said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Go back."

Qiao Rong looked at Bajiao who was at a loss on the boat and his crying brother. He had no choice but to hold the bamboo pole to support himself on the bottom of the water. With a little effort, the bamboo raft moved.

Seeing his brother abandon him on the boat, Qiao Rong's brother cried even harder. Qiao Rong said to Bajiao, "Sister Bajiao, please help me look after my brother."

Qiao Rong dared to guarantee that if his brother got on the bamboo raft with them, Cheng Youning would get so angry that he would throw him into the river.

Bajiao was looking into the water, trying to find the pearl she had accidentally dropped into the water. She knew she was in trouble, so she turned around and looked at Qiao Rong with tears in her eyes and said, "I'll look after him. You go back first. I will definitely find the pearl."

After getting ashore, Cheng Youning walked in front and Qiao Rong followed behind.

At this time, the attendant suddenly appeared beside Wan Lianxing and whispered, "Your grandson is angry."

"Because of what?"

As soon as the follower finished speaking, Cheng Youning walked into the yard with a menacing look.

Wan Lianxing asked knowingly, "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"

Cheng Youning didn't even sit down, and said to Wan Lianxing: "Little Grandpa, let's go."

Wan Lianxing asked, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Youning said, "Let's go to the mountain to find my parents."

Hu Er's wife heard it and came over immediately: "Young Master, the sweet potatoes have been dug out and will be cooked soon."

Cheng Youning said: "No need to cook, we don't want to eat it."

Hu Er asked Qiao Rong, "Where did you take the young master? Why did he get so angry?"

Qiao Rong didn't dare to speak.

Hu Er's wife said, "Why don't you speak up? How did you offend the young master? Where is your brother? Did your brother offend the young master?"

Hu Er picked up the broom and hit Qiao Rong. Wan Lianxing, who already knew the whole story, said, "Stop it. This is just a matter between children. Adults don't need to interfere."

Hu Er said, "Tell me quickly, how did you offend the young master?"

Cheng Youning was unhappy when he saw Qiao Rong being beaten, "It wasn't him who provoked me, it was your second son and that black banana."

At this time, there were several villagers helping in the yard. After hearing what Cheng Youning said, they all asked, "Who is Hei Bajiao? Is he Li Bajiao from the old Li family?"

Qiao Rong said with a bitter face: "It's my sister Bajiao."

Bajiao's mother was also there. "What a damned girl! I couldn't find her anywhere. It turns out she ran to the river. Young master, don't be angry. I'll catch her and let you vent your anger."

Cheng Youning said, "No need." Although he was angry, he didn't want anyone to be beaten because of this.

Bajiao's mother was uneasy, wondering how her daughter had offended Cheng Youning, "Qiao Rong, how did Bajiao offend the young master?"

Qiao Rong explained the whole story.

The villagers were all puzzled, and felt that the child's words were not credible. "No way, we have been guarding this river bank for a lifetime, and we have never seen treasures grow in the river clams. Could it be that we are seeing things?"

"That's right, maybe I saw it wrong."

Seeing that everyone didn't quite believe him, Cheng Youning's face darkened. Why didn't these people believe him? He was stubborn and got angry again, "Little Grandpa, let's go."

Wan Lianxing pulled Cheng Youning in front of him and said, "Let's leave after noon, okay? So many people have been busy for us, we can't let them work in vain. When you go home, Grandpa will give you two big pearls to make up for the small pearl you just lost."

Cheng Youning wanted to ask, can it be the same?

"Come here, little grandpa, give me a hug."

Cheng Youning shook his head and leaned on Wan Lianxing's legs.
