When the item was brought back to the village, Liu He, who was knowledgeable, laughed and said, “This thing is at least a hundred years old. Take it to the county and don’t sell it for less than 60 taels.”
As soon as he said this, the entire village erupted in joy.
If it was really worth this much, each family would be able to get at least 900 copper coins from selling it. It had to be known that villagers in the countryside grew their own crops. They would wear their clothes until they became old and tattered, and even then they would mend the holes and continue wearing them. Then, the older ones would hand down the old clothes to the younger ones to be worn for another three years. Therefore, other than when they paid taxes, everyone wanted to exchange things for money. Most of the time, their families did not have any cash.
900 copper coins was an enormous sum of money to them.
The villagers were as excited as if it was the new year. Only Liu He’s family and Fang Zhuzi’s family had a strange atmosphere.
The atmosphere in Liu He’s family was just a tad gloomy, and they merely felt that it was a pity. However, Fang Zhuzi’s family caused a huge commotion.
Madam Fang-Liu poked her son’s head and scolded him, “Why are you so stupid? At that time, you should have dug deeper. Even if you damaged it, it’d at least be worth 30 to 40 taels. Beats getting nothing and getting scolded now.”
Fang Zhuzi said impatiently, “At that time, the tiger and the bear were about to come. Surely I couldn’t have stood there and waited for them to eat me? Forget about ginseng, you won’t even have a son anymore.”
“Wasn’t Ah Ling there? You could’ve just used her as a shield, couldn’t you?”
“Dream on. Back then, she simply left without any hesitation after saying that everyone is responsible for their own lives.” Fang Zhuzi said hatefully, “We’re all her relatives, but she treats Liu Ting and the rest amiably yet is so nasty towards me. Mother, are you really a biological daughter of the Liu family? Don’t tell me you were picked up from the streets?”
“Bullsh*t. What nonsense are you talking about?” Madam Fang-Liu snapped angrily, “Mu Yangling, this young lass.” Madam Fang-Liu gritted her teeth. In the end, she couldn’t figure out how to deal with her, and could only say, “Keep a close eye on Liu Dazhuang’s house. Since you and Dazhuang discovered this together, if the Liu family dares to ask for more, ask for the same amount as them. Do you understand?”
Fang Zhuzi agreed.
