The happy little days of the Ye family

Chapter 619 Treasure Hunting in a Small House (6)

No one has lived in this house for two years, and the Xiao Mansion has been neglected. There are a lot of weeds growing in the front and back yards.

Mr. Ye just happened to bring a hoe, and several members of the Ye family were looking for treasures in the yard while weeding.

When weeding, everyone deliberately digs deeper into the ground. Maybe there are treasures hidden in the ground.

Everyone was preoccupied with treasure hunting, and worked particularly hard on weeding. The weeds in the yard were weeded quickly and well.

The baby was not found, but Ye Xilin found a fat rabbit in the backyard.

Ye Xilin happened to be lazing around in the corner, and unexpectedly ran into a fat rabbit eating grass.

The rabbit reacted quickly. As soon as Ye Xilin took the first step, he ran forward quickly.

"Dad, brother, there is a rabbit on the wall in front of me. Stop it quickly."

It's a pity that the courtyard wall is in front of the rabbit, and Ye's father and Ye Donglin are on the other side.

No matter how fast the rabbit ran, it could not withstand the overwhelming number of people in the Ye family. Several strong men surrounded the rabbit together.

After a while, the desperate fat rabbit was tied up by Father Ye.

Father Ye happily picked up the rabbit and weighed it, "This rabbit is really fat. It weighs at least 7 pounds."

"Go back and eat braised rabbit in the evening." Ye Xilin said excitedly.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard these past two days. I will make braised rabbit when I get back." Mother Ye looked at the plump rabbit in Father Ye's hand and felt a little hungry.

The Ye family spent an afternoon cleaning up the front and back yards.

But apart from a fat rabbit, nothing else useful was found.

Mrs. Ye raised her head and looked at the hill in the distance. The sun was almost setting on the top of the mountain.

Old Mrs. Ye said with a smile: "The yard has been tidied up. Let's go back first. We have found a lot of things in the past two days. We should be satisfied!"

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the toilet first." After saying that, Ye Xilin held his stomach and ran to the toilet.

Father Ye looked at his son's back and couldn't help complaining:

"Lazy people poop and pee a lot. This brat is procrastinating in doing things. He has to go home before going to the latrine."

There is a toilet in the backyard of the yard. Although the house has been abandoned for two years, luckily the toilet is still usable.

Ye Xilin came out of the toilet easily. As soon as he walked to the door, he suddenly felt something hard under his feet.

Ye Xilin had become accustomed to treasure hunting recently. He squatted down excitedly, and then quickly dug out the things covered by the soil under his feet.

After removing the soil, I unexpectedly dug out a golden safety lock. The safety lock was quite big and heavy in my hand.

Ye Xilin weighed it with his hands and found that it weighed about 5 coins.

"Five taels of gold is equivalent to 5 taels of silver. I didn't expect that there would be a surprise in the toilet."

Ye Xilin took the safety lock and ran forward happily, almost getting carried away with joy.

At this time, the Ye family and others were sitting in the small pavilion in the front yard, waiting for Ye Xilin.

After waiting for a long time, Ye Xilin ran over with a smile, and then proudly slapped the golden safety lock on the table.

"Look what good stuff I found. I didn't let you wait in vain."

Seeing the golden safety lock on the stone table, everyone's eyes widened and they were very envious. Why don't they have this talent for treasure hunting?

Mrs. Ye moved quickly, wiped the safety lock on her body, then put it in her mouth and took a bite.

"It's real gold, Xilin, where did you find it?"

Ye Xilin was stunned for a moment when he saw Mrs. Ye holding the safety lock and putting it in her mouth, then quietly took two steps back.

"I found it at the toilet door."

"Bah, bah, bah, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Old Mrs. Ye was very skilled. She grabbed Ye Xilin who was trying to escape with one hand, and firmly twisted his ear with her other hand.

"Nai, you moved too fast. Before I could stop you, you had already bitten me."

Mrs. Ye worked harder on her hands.

"It hurts, it hurts. I picked it up in the ground at the door, not in the toilet. It's clean."

"You said that."

Others on the side wanted to laugh, but they were afraid that Mrs. Ye would get angry, so they suppressed their faces until their faces turned red.

In the end, Mrs. Ye didn't want to beat Ye Xilin, so she let him go after pretending for a while.

Holding the heavy safety lock, Mrs. Ye went back in no hurry and happily took inventory of the things she found today.

"Today's harvest is not bad. In addition to two food prescriptions, I also found a jade pendant, a silver earring, two gold beans and a gold safety lock. In addition, there are 10 taels of 277 cash in silver."

Father Ye thought for a while and suggested: "There is a pawn shop on South Street. Why don't we pawn the things we found in the past two days when we go back?"

These things are all small items left behind by the Xiao family, and they are not easy to use. It is better to pawn them and exchange them for money.

No one has any objection to these things. They have no use for these small items, so they might as well exchange them for silver.

No matter how beautiful those small items are, they are not as solid as money.

Mrs. Ye also took out the things she found yesterday.

Jade ring finger, 5 small pearls, ink sticks, jade gourd, gold earrings, gold walnuts and silver earrings.

Then Mrs. Ye separated the gold and silver objects separately.

"I will collect the gold and silver items first, and then melt them and make them into safety locks for the younger generations at home."

"Feng Shuang, you can take the rest of these things to the pawn shop on South Street and sell them."

Everyone has no objection. These gold and silver objects will be sold at a lower price when sold to a pawn shop. It is better to melt them into new things later.

In this way, Ye's father took the things he found during the two days of treasure hunting to the pawn shop and exchanged them for 45 taels of silver.

In addition, there were 13 taels of 345 coins found in the house, as well as several small gold and silver items.

After coming out of the pawn shop, Ye's father drove the donkey cart happily, still thinking about it in his mind.

"Calculated in this way, after deducting the things found during the treasure hunt, this house actually cost more than 200 taels of silver."

"Yes, this house is a good buy." Mr. Ye, who had always been silent, couldn't help but praise it.

Thinking that he had bought a house near Qingsong Academy for only more than 200 taels, Father Ye was so happy that he had taken advantage of it.

The Ye family rushed home happily. Ye Qingqing had just bought the big house near the academy.

Including taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, the Tang family spent a total of 481 taels of silver on this house.

Tangshan directly gave the deed to the house to Ye Qingqing.

As soon as he returned home, Ye Qingqing hid the deed of the house in a secret compartment above the beam.

When he opened the secret compartment, Ye Qingqing felt a little empty when he saw that all the silver ingots hidden inside were spent.

"Soon we can go treasure hunting in the newly bought house. Sooner or later, this girl will fill you with money."

"Treasure hunt? What treasure hunt?"

Tang Xiaojing below looked at Ye Qingqing with confusion.
