After several days of hard work, the Qiao family ran into obstacles everywhere in the village. In order to get information from relevant people, they gave gifts and treated people to meals, but they still couldn't get any useful information. In the end, they got nothing.

Even Qiao Yixun felt a little discouraged and wondered if her judgment was really wrong - maybe she was just dazzled at the time?

The more she inquired, the more dejected she became. Just when she was about to give up hope and go back to Beijing to find a class to attend, something unexpected happened.

The first person to notice that something was unusual was Qiao Yixun's father.

The old man accidentally learned from the group of aunties who sat and chatted at the entrance of the village every day that in the past few days, there seemed to be always two or three strangers driving in and out of the village, but no one was seen in the village during the day.

However, each of them looked decent and did not seem like bad people, so they did not attract much attention. Everyone guessed that they were probably distant relatives coming to visit.

The news almost immediately alerted her father.

His first reaction was that it was related to the land owned by their Qiao family. After all, the hillside was a bit far from the village. Usually, apart from a few sheep farmers who would occasionally go to the hillside to graze their sheep, no one else would go there at all.

If those strangers really went towards the hillside, of course we wouldn’t see anyone in the village!

So he made a prompt decision and decided to sneak around the hillside west of the village and actually caught the man at the foot of the hillside.

The three strangers were holding aluminum boxes and some instruments that he couldn't understand, and were drawing something on the blueprint with pen and paper.

The three men didn't seem to expect that someone would suddenly come to such a remote place, and it was the owner of the land on the hillside. Qiao Yixun's father looked at the various strange equipment that the few people carried with them, and hurriedly asked them what they were doing here.

Seeing that the evidence was conclusive and they could no longer hide it, they could only say that they came here to explore for minerals.

"What mine?" her father was shocked.

"Gold mine."

……

When Qiao Yixun's father came home and told the mother and daughter the news, he was so excited that he almost went crazy.

They never dreamed that their piece of land, which was completely useless except for burying people, actually contained a large amount of gold mines in the mountain below!

Her father was still beaming with joy as he recounted the incident: "The geological survey team said that there was a small earthquake here two years ago. At that time, experts suspected that there might be a gold mine underground. However, because the news had not been confirmed, it was not certain where in the earthquake zone the gold mine was located. In order to prevent villagers from mining recklessly, the news was suppressed by the relevant departments."

"This time they sent people to explore again and confirmed that there is indeed a gold mine under our land! And according to the results of their exploration with equipment, the purity is quite high! In a while, there will definitely be a mining company coming here to build a gold mine!"

After hearing this, Qiao Yixun's mother was almost going crazy with joy and stood up immediately: "Really? Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and pick up the hoe and start digging! That's gold!"

"Humph! Do you think I don't want to?" Qiao Yixun's father rolled his eyes. "Those prospecting bastards must have known that I wanted to dig for gold myself, so they warned me that the so-called gold mine was still far away from the ground! They can only make a rough estimate with professional instruments, and they have to use giant probes to drill mines to get it... You want to dig out gold with just those two broken hoes? Dream on!"

Qiao Yixun's mother sat down again in dismay.

Her father then began to lecture her: "Besides, they also educated me on the law. Even if the land above belongs to our family, all the mineral resources underground belong to the state. It has nothing to do with ordinary people like us! Anyone who dares to dig around is breaking the law! They will go to jail!"

When her mother heard this, she was immediately disappointed: "Ah, you know there is gold underneath, can you just sit there and watch? That would be a waste of time, why are you so happy? What does it have to do with us?"

Qiao Yixun was more rational and patiently explained to her mother: "Mom, you don't understand this! Since the mining company will come here to build a gold mine, they must control the entire area! Doesn't that mean they must buy our land?"

Qiao Yixun's mother nodded dully: "That's right...if we don't go around in circles, won't we still have to sell the land? It won't make much money! We might as well use it to pay off the debt of more than 300,000 yuan!"

"Hmph..." Qiao Yixun couldn't help but sneer, "It couldn't be sold at a high price before because no one knew there was a gold mine underneath. Now that we know it, how can we still use the original price? If the mining company wants to build a gold mine there, our family must agree first. The decision is entirely in our hands! When the time comes, whether it's sold for 10 million or 20 million... it's all up to our family!"

Her mother's eyes lit up: "One, one or two hundred million...Oh my god, is this even possible?"

Qiao Yixun: "What else do you think? That's a gold mine! Compared to what they can earn, our land fee is just a drop in the bucket for them!"

Her father looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "I told you how good my daughter is at studying! Those exploration experts also told me that if we can hold on for another three to five years, there will be people who will come to us to negotiate the price."

"Three to five years?" This special time immediately made Qiao Yixun's eyes widen.

Then, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, her eyes gradually becoming colder: "Yeah, I almost forgot, if we have just confirmed the location of the gold mine, we will have to wait at least three to five years after going through a series of processes before we can officially mine it... I was wondering why that little bitch Mo Li was so kind and was willing to lend me the money for three years. So this is what she was thinking!"

After hearing what she said, Qiao Yixun's mother also reacted and slapped her thigh: "Yes! Isn't the time for which our family's land was mortgaged to her exactly three years?"

When she thought of this, Qiao Yixun's fists hardened again. She knew that the bitch had no good intentions!

She gritted her teeth and said, "That is to say, whether we pay back the money or not in the next three years, it is a sure win for her! She might even hope that we don't pay back the money, so that she can take over our land and sell it to a mining company. She can make tens of millions without doing anything!"
