Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 702

Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Gold Mine
 

“Big Brother, what do you think this is?”

Liu Sisi did not answer him directly, but instead asked him, staring at Nan Tianzong’s face without blinking.

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be gold sand. There are fine gold particles in it. With a little separation and refining, a considerable amount of Asian ponysfoot gold can be obtained!”

Nan Tianzong’s whole body trembled, and the veins on his face bulged.

This really was a case of sleep meeting the pillow!

He and Ye Lei were worried about the silver for the warhorses, and now, the life-saving silver was delivered to them. How could he not be excited?

“Big Brother, actually, I’ve thought about whether there’s a gold mine in the land before. The gold mine craftsman must look at it to know for sure. If this is true, I will hand over the gold mine to you for mining. The Asian ponysfoot gold mined can be used for your weapons.” Liu Sisi whispered.

“How to use the mined gold is a minor issue. Our priority now is to determine the amount of reserves in the land. That’s the most important!” If the quantity is too small to be worth mining, everything would be futile.

Nan Tianzong was excited, pacing in the study, unable to calm down.

Since ancient times, wealth has been tempting. Although he possessed mountains of gold and silver, when another mountain of gold was placed before him, he couldn’t help but be tempted!

However, after the initial temptation, he calmed down, and reason returned to his mind.

“Sisi, why do you want to inform me of this gold mine? Isn’t it more profitable for the Di Family to mine it themselves?”

Liu Sisi shook her head, rolling her eyes: “The Di Family has a shallow foundation. This kind of thing would only bring disaster to them, and nothing else. Ye Lei naturally understands this too, and he supports the idea of letting you mine the gold.”

She purposely emphasized that Ye Lei also agreed with this matter, which made the corners of Nan Tianzong’s mouth rise slightly, finally relieved.

“Does he not know?”

He casually rolled up the towel and put it in his pocket.

“Who is he?”

Nan Tianzong’s face showed displeasure: “It’s him, Zhao Jiong!”

Oh! Liu Sisi suddenly realized! Nan Tianzong meant him!

“He’s always on Heilong Mountain, who knows what he’s been up to lately? Last time, the three children had a bath together, and he, as their maternal grandfather, came to join in. After that, he disappeared like a lost trace…” Liu Sisi stopped halfway through.

Nan Tianzong silently turned back, patted her shoulder, and sat down on the chair again.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have a goldsmith craftsman check it out and see how many reserves are inside. Just wait here for my good news!”

Nan Tianzond could not stay still for a moment. He left the study, spoke a few words of apology to Di Yelei, and hurriedly left the Di Residence, leaving the city overnight.

Looking at Nan Tianzong’s hurried back, Liu Sisi’s heart was also in turmoil, not knowing whether her choice was right or wrong.

“Sisi, it looks like you have something on your mind. Did something happen? And why did Big Brother leave the mansion in such a hurry?”

Seeing the distressed Liu Sisi, Di Yelei couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“I…I’m fine, Ye Lei.”

Her heart was anxious, and her face could not smile.

“Sisi, you and I are husband and wife. We are meant to rely on each other in life and death, and share misfortunes and blessings together. Is there anything you can’t tell me?”

He held her hand tightly, looking into her eyes.

That’s right!

Husband and wife are meant to be united, sharing honor and disgrace together.

“It’s like this…”

Liu Sisi finally told Di Yelei the matter: “Ye Lei, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have decided to tell Big Brother about this without telling you. I’m afraid of the innocent being found guilty. The Di Family’s foundation is too shallow, and this kind of thing is not something they can hold onto. I don’t trust giving this thing to others. Only giving it to Big Brother is the safest, so…”

Di Yelei’s lips were tightly pressed, not relaxing at all.

He contemplated for a while before sighing softly: “Sisi, you don’t have to deal with this matter for the time being. Let me handle the follow-up issues. How about it?”

He held Liu Sisi’s hand, which was trembling.

He knew in his heart that Sisi’s approach was right, but everyone had selfish motives. If Nan Tianzong had some crooked ideas, how could Sisi guard against it?

“Alright, I can take a break then.” Liu Sisi pretended to stick out her tongue and leaned into Di Yelei’s arms.

Di Yelei held her tightly, not moving for a long time.

What Nan Tianzong and Di Yelei had discussed remained unknown. Nan Tianzong’s whereabouts were unseen every day, and he never said a word about it.

A few days later, Nan Tianzong reappeared in front of Liu Sisi.

When Nan Tianzong came, he also brought a considerable amount of game with him.

“I’ve been wandering in the mountains these last few days. I didn’t see anything, but I did manage to catch a lot of game. It’s perfect for improving everyone’s meals.”

Though the Di Family’s meals were not bad, they could not be considered good in the eyes of Prefecture Princess Luo and others.

It couldn’t be helped – the Di Family was currently short of silver. Even the silver hairpins were nearly pawned by Liu Sisi, just to maintain the expenses of the Di Residence.

Seeing all the game, Liu Sisi’s saliva began to flow.

“Brother, this trip of yours has paid off. At least for half a month, our home won’t have to buy meat.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly commanded someone to take the game and process it accordingly.

Nan Tianzong naturally had no objection: “In a few days, it’ll be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you going back to the Upper Village for the festival, or staying in the city?”

“Ye Lei intends to go back to the Upper Village for the festival. Brother, why don’t you join us for the celebration?”

“Can you not go back to the Upper Village? Tomorrow, a distinguished guest will be visiting. Could you and your husband stay in the mansion?” Nan Tianzong asked anxiously.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was the Reunion Festival, and everyone went back to their hometowns for a reunion.

“Brother, is this guest very important?”

“Yes, very important!” Nan Tianzong nodded vigorously.

“In that case, I’ll ask Ye Lei to see if we can ask Dad to come to the city for the festival. We won’t go back and just stay in the mansion.” This way, it would be a win-win situation.

“That would be great.” Nan Tianzong was finally happy.

When Di Yelei returned, Liu Sisi naturally discussed the matter with him. Di Yelei did not object: “Since your big brother said the guest is important, I’m afraid they can’t be taken lightly. We’ll just stay in the mansion and wait for the distinguished guest. I’ll send a letter directly to Dad about it.”

Elderly Mr. Di might not like the city much, but how the others around him would feel was still an unknown factor.

“Thank you, Ye Lei. You always accommodate me every time. I…”

“Fool, isn’t eating the same wherever we are? As long as the family is reunited, that’s it.”
