Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

"His father, look! It's a copper coin!"

A woman's voice was a little shrill with excitement.

"What are these colorful balls?"

The children were innocent and stared at the colorful little particles with curiosity and confusion.

"Don't worry about it, just get it first!"

No matter whether it was a white-haired elder or a toddler, everyone present was trying their best to get that surprise that fell from the sky.

Ran He observed all this quietly, then turned to Yan Shisan and said, "You guys should be more careful, don't let anyone get hurt in the fight."

"Understood, miss."

Yan Shisan answered solemnly, his eyes showing the importance he attached to safety.

Lin Yu's eyebrows were curved, and her smile revealed a bit of cunning and confidence. She said to Ran He in a soft voice: "Don't worry, Sister Ran He, the villagers have their own scale in their hearts and will not embarrass you."

The rare treasures in the four baskets were shared out like water. Every hand that reached out returned with a full load, and the heavy pockets bore witness to this unexpected harvest.

The lucky ones filled their bamboo baskets so full that they were almost overflowing, and everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Some of the villagers grabbed the colorful, small and exquisite candy grains, with confusion and curiosity in their eyes, as if they were holding a puzzle from another world.

A woman with red cheeks approached Ran He with light steps and a little shyness. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but full of expectation: "Mrs. Wu, what... is this good thing?"

Ran He gently took the small item from her hand and gently peeled off the colorful candy paper. A square candy the size of a fingernail and shining with golden luster was revealed, like a miniature gold, lying quietly in the palm of her hand.

"This is called fruit candy. This one has orange flavor. You might as well try it."

Ran He smiled and handed the candy back to the woman's hand, his eyes full of pride in this sweetness.

The woman put the candy into her mouth doubtfully. In an instant, her eyes suddenly lit up like stars in the dark night, and her surprise was beyond words: "Oh my God, this tastes amazing!"

The surrounding villagers had already been attracted by this conversation. After hearing it, more people followed suit and put this strange thing into their mouths. Then, waves of praises could be heard.

"I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen something new like this."

"It's much more interesting than eating white sugar. It's sweet but not greasy, and has a fruity aroma."

"I've never tasted anything so delicious, it's like a dance on my tongue."

Lin Yu smiled and explained, "This fruit candy, not to mention you, even many people in the city have never seen it. It is a rare treasure, specially made for the palace."

When the villagers heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief.

The word "Imperial Palace" that seems out of reach seems to carry a mysterious power that makes people feel both longing and confusion.

"Mom, I want to eat another one."

A childish voice with a bit of coquettishness begged his mother.

But the child's mother refused without hesitation: "You still want to eat? This is a valuable item, don't mess around."

What's more, when some parents see their children holding the precious candy, they immediately ask them to hand it over and keep it safely. No matter how the children beg, they remain firm and refuse to give an inch.

The villagers, who were originally delighted by finding copper coins, now had a few extra fruit candies in their hands. Their joy was as gorgeous as the flowers in midsummer.

Just from the appearance of this small candy, you can tell that its value is far more than a copper coin.

As the sun set and people dispersed, several banquets were set up in the village. No outsiders were invited. Only family members sat together and enjoyed the lunch carefully prepared by Mr. Zhou and his wife and Lin Yu. The atmosphere was warm and joyful.

As a representative, the village chief expressed his gratitude to Mr. Hong and the county magistrate. It was said that there was no big celebration over there, so they tactfully did not show up and disturb the peace of the village.

When the villagers went home, some people started to talk about it in some corners. "Is this candy really so precious?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like pouring cold water on the enthusiasm that had just been ignited by everyone.

"It should be quite valuable, otherwise people wouldn't say that."

A woman carefully put the fruit candy into her pocket as if she had found a treasure, with a cautious look on her face.

“It’s not that simple.”

"It's not so easy to get tribute. If it was really a tribute, why would they give it away so generously? Even the most generous people have never seen such a generous donation."

Another villager raised an objection.

"Aunt Wang's words make sense. I'm afraid the Wu family is deliberately being pretentious just to save face."

Someone else echoed.

Then, someone sneered disdainfully: "Maybe they think we country folk are easy to satisfy."

"Hey, please speak softly. If they hear us and bear a grudge against us, we will suffer in the future and won't even have a place to cry."

Someone reminded hurriedly.

These words silenced the talkative women.

When the crowd dispersed, the village chief's wife curled her lips and spat in dissatisfaction: "These black-hearted people, after receiving benefits from others, still don't forget to gossip behind their backs."

"It's not worth it to argue with those women who have never seen the world."

The village chief murmured to himself, feeling quite helpless.

His wife came closer and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you think this thing really came from the palace?"

The tributes to the imperial palace were only for the emperor. For common people like them, being able to get a little bit of it was a symbol of their ancestors' good deeds. In the past, who would dare to have such an unreasonable thought?

And now, I actually hold this treasure in my hands. I feel both anticipation and doubt in my heart, a mixture of emotions that are hard to describe.

The village chief lowered his head and carefully examined the candy in his hand. He thought about the flattery of the Wu family and the county magistrate to the master of the Wu family. He still had no conclusion in his mind: "It doesn't matter whether it is real or fake, it is not an ordinary thing. Either keep it for yourself or exchange it for money. It won't be a loss either way."

The village chief's wife heard this and agreed with it deeply.

Normally, white sugar is already very precious, rarely seen on the market and very expensive, but this fruit candy is obviously better.

If you take it out to exchange, you will definitely be able to get a lot of silver.

"That makes sense. This stuff is precious. Let the children have a taste when they get home from school. I'll keep the rest for now. When my family runs out of money, I'll go to town and exchange it for some silver."

The daughter-in-law was calculating in her mind, with a calculating expression on her face.

The village chief nodded and agreed. "That's it. Don't pay attention to the rumors behind the scenes. The Wu family is not someone we can afford to offend easily. We have to be polite when we meet them in the future."

"I'm not a fool. I know the importance of this."

As for the other villagers, they all had similar plans in their minds. Regardless of whether it was a tribute or not, this thing was rare after all and would definitely sell for a good price.

In the eyes of the villagers, real money is the most cost-effective.

That afternoon, some people carrying fruit candies couldn't wait to rush to the town. Seeing this, many people followed suit. Only a few were still hesitating, wanting to see which direction the wind was blowing before taking any action.
