Chapter 24 I wonder if his aunt still accepts Zhuzhu?
Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Beads?

Beads strung together with red string!

Lingxi subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to touch the storage pendant hanging around her neck, but she held herself back before she could react.

"Aunt, aunt..." Little boy Minghui was looking at Lingxi eagerly, waiting for his aunt to praise him.

"Ah... oh."

Lingxi turned around, took out two pieces of beef jerky from the cupboard and handed them to Minghui: "Minghui is really awesome, auntie will reward Minghui with beef jerky."

Little Minghui was instantly happy. He took his dried meat and went to show it off to his uncle.

As for the Tangtang and Mi Sandao he brought...

That was what he earned by giving it to his aunt. Besides, Minghui was very smart. If he left it with his aunt, he could just act coquettishly and eat it whenever he wanted. But if he took it back, it might be confiscated, and it would be very difficult to eat it again!
Lingxi watched Minghui put himself into the tiger's mouth and covered her face silently.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, little Minghui was heard running around in the yard, screaming and yelling, followed slowly by his father Pei Yu, who was holding a ruler in his hand to hit his children’s hands when they made mistakes.

It is obvious that little Minghui has been punished!
For a few candies, people might say and do anything.

If he isn't dealt with, who will be dealt with?
Lingxi held back her laughter, thought for a moment, and took out a chocolate, a White Rabbit chocolate, from the space, to coax him later.

Little Minghui is still super cute!

a ha ha ha……

Lingxi silently withdrew her gaze and closed the door tightly. Then she touched the storage pendant around her neck, feeling a little worried.

Pei Bok Joo really did it for this pendant!

Lingxi thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good solution.

It is definitely impossible to give the thing to Pei Fuzhu, and he may need the space at any time, so he must carry the pendant with him.

Pei Fuzhu went to so much trouble and even coaxed Minghui to help her look for it. It was obvious that she would not give up until she found the thing. If she saw it on her, it would be a big trouble.

She struggled for a long time but couldn't think of a good solution. Otherwise...

Use needle and thread to seal the pocket of clothes, sew a button on the pocket, unbutton it when needed, and button it again when not in use?

Lingxi was amused by herself.

By the way, Pei Bok Joo is really omnipotent. She knew that there was such a bead in that style of wooden box. I just don’t understand why she thought that the wooden box was the one she buried outside, and why she found it in her house.

Lingxi was worrying here by herself, but the next day someone helped her solve the problem.

In order to perform well, Gu Si had to start work today. He came over to bring Lingxi a lunch box at dawn, and they left before they could say a few words.

Lingxi followed her previous habit and waited until the people at home went to work, then she went out with her small backpack on her back.

However, just as he reached the gate of the yard, he saw little Minghui standing not far from where the rotten wooden box was found earlier. A big pit had been dug in front of him. Pei Fuzhu was standing in the pit with only half of his body exposed, and soil was thrown out from time to time.

Lingxi: “…”

Eh?
She didn't bury the box there!

If Minghui wasn't there, she would just pretend she saw nothing and stay away from Pei Bok Joo as usual. But that couldn't be done now.

When she got closer, she realized that Pei Bok Joo was already digging the third pit around her, and each one was more than half a person deep.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

It was just a coincidence that when she just arrived nearby, she saw Pei Bok Joo, who was covered in dust and dirt from digging a pit. She bent down and pulled out a precious wooden box from the pit and was extremely surprised.

"It really is here, Minghui, you really found it out!"

Lingxi subconsciously slowed down her pace. Pei Fuzhu was already lying on the edge of the pit, impatiently picking up the small hammer that had been prepared long ago, and skillfully knocked off the rusty lock on the wooden box with two bangs. He opened the box and took out...

A pendant strung on a red string.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

Ah this...

Pei Fuzhu excitedly picked up the bead and held it in the sunlight, and her eyes became brighter.

Yes, yes, yes, it's the kind that looks worthless.

It is said that these beads were handed down from their ancestors, but later they were said to have been lost. In fact, no one knew who put them in a wooden box and buried them here.

In her previous life, after Pei Lingxi got married, she brought that man back to her parents’ home and it was here that she dug out this wooden box. I heard there seemed to be quite a bit of money inside!
She didn't find it in the wooden box she had dug up earlier that day, and wondered if it might have been dug up by Pei Lingxi in advance, so she went to Lingxi's house to look for it.

I didn't expect that he was still here.

Pei Bok Joo looked around but didn't find any money in the box, so she gave up!

Maybe she heard it wrong. What was dug out were two boxes. There were indeed some moldy banknotes in the rotten wooden box she dug out before.

Anyway, the money isn’t important!
What’s important is that after Pei Lingxi brought the bead back to her husband’s home, people recognized what kind of treasure the bead was. Pei Lingxi was also particularly favored by her husband’s family because of the bead.

From now on, everything belongs to Pei Bok Joo!

Pei Fuzhu wanted to roar to the sky and sing a song.

She looked at the frightened little boy Minghui next to her and found him pleasing to the eye. She smiled and took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it to him: "Here, this is from Auntie, okay!"

Little boy Minghui was frightened by Pei Bok Joo's crazy appearance, but he didn't run away just for the money Pei Bok Joo promised him.

When he saw the money, he grabbed it and ran away.

Lingxi had quietly retreated when Pei Fuzhu took out a red rope from the box. When she saw Minghui, she quietly made a hushing gesture and waved to him.

Little Minghui subconsciously lightened his footsteps and tiptoed into the yard. He smiled at Lingxi with curved eyebrows and waved the ten yuan he had just received.

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

"Look, little auntie, look, look, Minghui has earned so much money!"

Little Minghui happily pulled Lingxi's clothes and went into her room.

“My eldest aunt wants beads strung with red strings in a wooden box.

My second uncle and my younger uncle polished the beads, my father wove the red string, and my grandfather found the old box and rusty padlock.

I really changed ten dollars!

It’s quite easy for me to make money, aunt!

There are still quite a few of these stone-ground beads left in his second uncle's room. I wonder if his eldest aunt still wants them?

Minghui told the story of how his grandfather, his father, his second uncle, and his third uncle ground the beads last night, how they put them into the box, and how they dug the hole and buried them.

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed.

"I took a nap last night and I couldn't remember clearly when I woke up. I pointed to the wrong place, and my aunt dug several more holes!

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

She really couldn't help it, ha, hahahahaha…
