Not only did Su Erhu not care, but the rest of the Su family didn’t care either.
“Second Brother, let me bite it once!” Su Liuhu immediately offered himself up.
He looked thrilled and eager to try.
He had bitten silver before, but he had never bitten gold.
“Get out of here, bite what?” Old Man Su hurriedly stopped him.
Yet, his heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.
With a piece of gold this big, how many eggs could that buy?
Wait, no! Where did this gold come from?
“Daughter, tell Daddy, where did this come from?” Old Man Su hurriedly asked Little Tangbao.
Little Tangbao opened her innocent, big eyes and said in a milky voice, “Picked it up.”
Just listen—how clear was her pronunciation?
How concise her speech.
Back then, to avoid speaking unclearly like other little infants, she had preferred playing mute over speaking with a thick tongue.
Although a toddler speaking with a lisp seemed rather cute, she still preferred the feeling of clear articulation.
Hearing Little Tangbao’s words, Old Man Su pressed further at once, “Where did you pick it up?”
Stared at by a room full of eager eyes, Little Tangbao suddenly felt the pressure weighing heavily on her.
It was as if the moment she named a place, the entire family would rush over immediately.
“Don’t know-know…” Little Tangbao shook her head.
Biting the bullet to play dumb, even her pronunciation became slurred.
After all, even if she remembered, she couldn’t say.
Little Tangbao blinked her eyes, a wronged, aggrieved expression appearing on her tiny face.
As if asking her was akin to bullying her.
“How old is our daughter? How could she remember where she picked it up from?” Old Lady Su shot her husband a reproachful look, rescuing Little Tangbao from the spot.
She casually scooped up her little daughter and placed her on her lap.
Old Man Su realized he had been too hasty as well, so he hurriedly comforted his little daughter: “It’s fine if you don’t know, Daddy won’t ask anymore.”
At any rate, his little daughter had never left the village, nor had she ever left the sight of the family, so it had to be somewhere nearby at any rate.
The rest of the Su family also felt that Little Tangbao was far too young, and they likely couldn’t get an answer out of her anyway.
However, Qian Yuemei opened her mouth, then shut it again.
Her eyes drifted toward Little Tangbao’s small cloth pouch.
Could there be more inside?
Or perhaps other treasures?
At this moment, even Qian Yuemei had no choice but to admit that this little sister-in-law truly possessed an eerie sort of magic.
Any stone she casually pulled out could potentially turn out to be gold.
“Father, should we go to town and ask if this really is gold?” Su Erhu suppressed his excitement and spoke in a low voice.
As if terrified that if he spoke too loudly, outsiders might overhear.
Hearing Su Erhu’s words, everyone snapped their gazes to Old Man Su, holding their breath in anticipation.
“Is Auntie Su home?” A loud voice suddenly called out from outside the door.
Su Dahu shuddered, his hand accidentally bumping into a pair of chopsticks, which in turn clattered against a bowl of porridge…
Thus, a series of noisy clatters echoed through the room.
Su Erhu couldn’t care less about anything else; holding the yellow lump in his hand, he spun around in a frantic panic.
“Mother, where do we hide it?!”
He felt like hiding it anywhere was unsafe—after all, this was gold!
Even if it wasn’t completely confirmed yet.
Old Lady Su calmly took the yellow lump, slipped it into her bosom, and spoke in a steady voice: “Eldest Daughter-in-law, go outside and see who it is.”
“Ah… okay.” Zhao Chunhua walked out with her legs trembling slightly.
It turned out to be a young wife from the same village who had come over to borrow a hoe.
By the time Zhao Chunhua returned, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
In the end, they decided that after finishing their meal, Old Man Su would take the yellow lump to town to inquire about it.
Little Tangbao looked up eagerly at Old Man Su, patted her tiny chest, and said in a milky voice: “Daddy, Baby goes too.”
She had never been to town before, and she wanted to go broaden her horizons as well.
