"Mother, bring the washbasin and hold the pearls."

Su Qingluo smiled happily, reached into the bottom of the water with her white and tender arms like lotus root, took out a pearl, and handed it to Li Xiu'e with a smile.

"Hey, good."

Li Xiu'e changed from being frightened to being pleasantly surprised, and her excited little heart jumped tremblingly. She took the pearl, without caring to look at it, walked back to the kitchen in two or three steps, and brought out a basin for washing vegetables.

Su Qingluo took out pearls one by one from the bottom of the water, put them into the washbasin, and happily counted them while taking them out.

"One, two, three, twenty, thirty-one, thirty-six, a total of thirty-six pearls."

"Buddha bless, thank God, thank God for blessing, thank God for reward, Amitabha."

Li Xiu'e was holding the washbasin, her arms trembling uncontrollably, and she couldn't stop thinking.

"Sister Yu, we have taken the pearl, we can't keep our promises, dad will go and release it."

Su Hu watched the miraculous scene, and the bizarre stories passed by the villagers in private flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help feeling endless awe of God.

"Don't bother Dad, I'll just go."

Su Qingluo knew very well that the mussels only lived for a long time and bred a weak spiritual intelligence, which was far from reaching the stage of becoming a refined form and running rampant in the world.

"Let's go, dad, you and your mother go into the house quickly, don't let outsiders see the pearl."

Out of awe, Su Hu insisted on going. He scooped up the mussels from the bottom of the tank first, rushed out of the courtyard and ran to the river bank.

"Sister Yu, that mussel."

Li Xiu'e looked at her husband rushing towards the shallows, her excitement gradually calmed down, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Mom, don't worry, it's okay!"

Su Qingluo said with a cute little milk voice, and smiled brightly: "Don't you believe me? I am a lucky baby. I am born with precious life and bring my own luck."

"That's right, our sister Yu said it's all right, so it's definitely all right."

The sunny smile flashed Li Xiu'e's eyes, warmed her heart, made her forget the anxiety in an instant, and the heart hanging in her throat fell back into her stomach.

"Pearls the size of pigeon eggs are hard to come by, and even if you have money in the market, you can't buy them. Otherwise, we won't sell them and leave them as family heirlooms for our three children."

In the past five years, with the secret help of the little kingfisher, Su Hu went hunting in the mountains as if he was on the hook. Birds and beasts threw themselves into the net, and rare wild game can be found everywhere, reaching the pinnacle of his life as a hunter.

Today's Su family is no longer the impoverished, clinking poor settled down.

Bo has a family property, and Su Hu's mind also changed. When he came back from releasing the mussels, he looked at the thirty-six dazzling pearls of different colors, and the first thing he thought of was not to sell them for money, but to leave them for his own children.

Especially the youngest daughter who has brought good luck to the family. With a loving father, he wants to keep the best things for sister Yu as much as possible.

"No, it's not safe to keep pearls at home."

Li Xiu'e glanced at the closed doors and windows cautiously, thinking: "A family like us, how can we use such a good pearl, if someone sees it and attracts coveted people, fearing that it will cause disaster, we should sell it." Drop it, and exchange it for silver."

"Sister Qiao is thirteen years old, and in two years she will be negotiating a marriage, and she has to buy a dowry for her. Now that she is going to study in the county town, I am worried about renting a house for her as a daughter. I want to buy a small yard in the county town. Our family You can go there at any time and stay for a period of time to take care of him conveniently."

"Calculated in this way, there are many places that need to use money. The little money saved by our family may not be enough to buy a yard in the county."
