Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 130 Rare Treasure
But Wu Niang was independent and sensible. Seeing that she was only going to Daxiu Mountain to explore nature, Xu Liyun did not interfere too much except gently reminding her to be safe.
At this moment, only the lively and lovely little girl was left in the courtyard. She and the equally young white tiger were like a pair of carefree friends, chasing and playing in the yard, laughing constantly, full of innocent happiness.
When she was called to meet her uncle Xu Guishan, a trace of shyness and timidity flashed across Xiao Youniang's face.
Although she was young, she was more sensitive than her age and could feel the not-so-warm friendship from Xu Guishan's forced smile.
However, this is not important to the kind-hearted little girl, because in her little world, the love of her parents, the care of her brothers and sisters, and the unconditional companionship of Xiaobai are the most precious treasures.
"Mom, Xiaobai said he's hungry!"
The young girl stood on tiptoe and tried her best to lift the little white tiger's milk basin with her tender hands, her eyes full of anxiety.
Xu Liyun smiled gently and said, "Then go and help Xiaobai prepare some goat milk. Can you complete this task by yourself?"
The young lady nodded vigorously, with a confident light in her eyes, "Of course! Big Sheep and Little Sheep are both very nice to me, they won't bully me!"
Since the third sheep joined the family, the flock has become more prosperous, and the little white tiger's growth rate is also gratifying. With the occasional fresh meat, its plate is always full.
After getting her mother's permission, the little girl happily held the milk basin and ran towards the carefully renovated sheepfold hut.
Her temporary departure provided Xu Guishan with an opportunity to speak.
He took the opportunity to look at his sister, changed the subject, and began to talk indirectly about the clay jar.
Xu Liyun was very smart and had seen through her brother's thoughts long ago, but she pretended not to understand and chatted with him in circles, with each other blaming each other. A subtle tug-of-war between the family members quietly unfolded.
Finally, Xu Guishan's patience reached its limit. He mustered up his courage, tore through the delicate veil himself, and took the initiative to bring up the topic of the earthen jar.
Seeing this, she pretended to be helpless and sighed softly, with a hint of fatigue in her voice: "Hey, Guishan, you have to understand your sister's difficulties. It's not that I don't want to lend a hand, but I have my own difficulties. Our family's trip back home should have been a happy one, but first my aunt inexplicably caused trouble, and then my mother blamed me all over again."
"When your brother-in-law saw me being wronged, he felt like a needle pricked his heart, and naturally he felt pity for our little girl. He had only come to our house a few times before, and my parents didn't treat him as a member of the family. This time when he went back, their attitude was still cold. Under such circumstances, how could he be willing to hand over such a precious thing to you?"
This sounded reasonable, and Xu Guishan had to admit that his mother's attitude that day was indeed a bit excessive.
My brother-in-law brought the treasure back with good intentions. If he had been able to take advantage of the situation at that time, perhaps the unexpected wealth would have already safely entered the family.
But my parents messed up everything, and I had to humble myself and go to their house to apologize, racking my brains to think of how to get my baby back.
At this moment, Xu Guishan's dissatisfaction with his parents sprouted quietly in his heart like spring weeds.
"Sister, don't be angry with me. I'm different from my parents. They may not care about you enough, but I always cherish you in my heart. You should also feel sorry for your brother. Look at my age. It's not easy to find a wife. You have to help me. You can't let me live alone for the rest of my life, right?"
As Xu Guishan spoke, his face was filled with a flattering smile, and his sweet words flowed out like a flood.
Xu Liyun listened to this sweet talk and realized that the boy had fallen into the trap, so she told him frankly: "In fact, your brother-in-law came back that day with a lot of anger and told me directly that he didn't want to give you the treasure. But after all, blood is thicker than water, and you are my brother, how can I just stand by and watch? In this way, you pay a part of the money to buy the treasure from your brother-in-law, so that he will not feel at a disadvantage. In this way, he will feel at ease and will naturally be happy to give it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Guishan's heart suddenly tightened, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.
For Xu Guishan, being greedy for small gains has almost become his instinct. He came with gifts today with the intention of getting something for nothing, hoping to get the treasure from the Zhang family without any effort.
Now his sister suddenly asked him to pay, which made him feel mixed emotions and he even began to doubt the truth of the matter.
Xu Liyun caught a flash of hesitation in her brother's eyes, but she was in no hurry to explain. After all, whether it succeeded or not, she would not suffer any loss.
She picked up the teacup lightly and took a sip slowly, her tone revealing an unquestionable calmness: "If you don't want to pay for it, that's fine. Your brother-in-law happens to have another buyer, and the deal will be completed in two days. If you want to come to my house and sit down, I'll ask your brother-in-law to buy some meat and we can have some fun."
The huge psychological gap from the imagined five hundred taels of silver to just for a meal made Xu Guishan feel very uncomfortable.
If he had a choice, he would naturally choose the five hundred taels of silver without hesitation. Who would care about a meal at the Zhang family?
After thinking it over, Xu Guishan couldn't help but wonder, "Sister, we are siblings who are connected by blood. Just tell me the truth. Is that treasure really worth five hundred taels?"
Xu Liyun seemed to be touched by these words, and her face suddenly darkened: "What do you mean by this? I am kind-hearted and considerate of my family, but you question my sincerity? Well, it seems that there is no need to mention that treasure anymore. You take your things and leave. It is best for our two families to have less contact in the future. Anyway, there is no place for us in the eyes of my parents."
After that, she stuffed all the gifts Xu Guishan brought back into his arms without saying a word and pushed him hard, as if she really wanted to draw a clear line with him.
At this moment, how could Xu Guishan dare to have any doubt at all?
He hurriedly grabbed Xu Liyun's arm and pleaded with tears in his eyes, but Xu Liyun just withdrew her hand coldly without even looking at him again.
"Sister, my dear sister! Your mind is broader than the sky. Don't argue with a small person like me. You also understand that the current situation of our family is stretched to the limit. I have no money for my own marriage and I have no money to marry a wife. If I really want to buy this rare treasure, I am afraid I will have to sell everything I have. At this time, how can I feel at ease if I don't ask a few more questions?"
