Chapter 155
155 So Many Treasures
Little Ah Yu explained how they had discovered the Spirit Treasure Rat. Everyone went to the pool to take a look.
There was indeed a rat hole there.
Old Madam Wang felt that the rat was indeed a little extraordinary. Thinking of the Guardian God behind Little Ah Yu, her heart skipped a beat and she instructed, “Dig this hole further.”
Since the Old Madam had spoken, the Wang family naturally did not dare to disobey.
The hole that the Spirit Treasure Rat dug was a foot tall away the water. After digging it open, they realized that there was a huge world inside.
As Wang Chuanman dug, he said, “It’s true. The hole here is much larger than that rat hole. Could it be that the rat was afraid of that we would discover this larger hole and deliberately ran out?”
Wang Chuanyuan said, “It’s just a rat. How can it be so smart? It might be a coincidence.”
However, after they completely dug open the hole, they had to admit that Wang Chuanman’s guess was right.
Because the cave was filled with treasures!
There was a pile of all kinds of golden and silver trinkets, some jade pieces, and two bowls that looked like antiques. There were more than ten jade bracelets, golden hairpins, and silver hairpins.
There were also a few gray rocks.
Even if the Wang Family had never seen such things before, they knew that they were valuable.
“Oh my god, which family is hiding treasure here?!”
“Could that rat be a treasure rat?”
Even Old Madam Wang fell into deep thought.
Old man Wang said, “In the past, I’ve only heard about it from the storyteller. With such a treasure rat, it will search for the treasures of the world and hide in its cave. I finally saw it today.”
The adults were all in shock, and the children went to look at the Spirit Treasure Rat.
Oh my god, this little thing could really find treasures, and it could even hide them!
They all looked at the Spirit Treasure Rat curiously.
The Spirit Treasure Rat had never seen such a scene before. It curled up in Little Ah Yu’s arms and trembled.
When the little lamb saw Little Ah Yu holding a rat in her arms, it was a little unhappy. Its furry head kept butting Little Ah Yu’s waist.
“Little lamb, you’re going to knock Ah Yu down!” Little Ah Yu pouted and said to the little lamb, “You’re too heavy for me to carry!”
“Little Sister Ah Yu, let me take a look.” Wang Wulang was very excited. This rat was a treasure rat. Could it find any other treasures?
If it could really find all kinds of treasures, he would let the rat earn money for them. He did not have to learn literature and culture. He could eat and wait at home every day and live a carefree life.
It was too satisfying!
Wang Wulang could already imagine his leisurely life at the age of 80. He was very happy.
However, the Spirit Treasure Rat did not let them touch it and was only willing to stay with Little Ah Yu. They could only give up.
As for the adults, they felt that it was a little troublesome.
Wang Chuanfu was an especially righteous person. He immediately wanted to send this sum of money to the original owner of the house.
“Perhaps the rat stole this from the original family. If the family finds out, they will definitely be anxious. This is a lot of money.”
Old Madam Wang did not say anything, and no one could tell what she was thinking.
“I heard from next door that the owner has left here a long time ago. I don’t even know where they moved to. How are we going to return it?” Madam Ma said.
While they were busy, Madam Ma also got to know her neighbors and learned a lot of gossip.
The neighbors were all warm-hearted people and did not keep any secrets, so when Madam Ma asked, they told her.
“Then what should we do? Should we send it to the government?” Wang Chuanfu was a little afraid when the government was mentioned. He did not want to go at all.
Seeing that everyone had no idea, Old Madam Wang said slowly, “What are you panicking for? What’s the hurry? I told you to study more in your free time. If you want to be a fool, go and investigate how the laws of Great Chang are written!”
The sons and daughters-in-law looked at each other. What did this have to do with the law?
Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Chuangui. “Second Brother, you tell them.”
Wang Chuangui was dumbfounded. “Ah, Mother, what am I supposed to say?”
“The ‘Great Chang Law Book’ records the fundamental laws of the Great Chang Nation. It includes all kinds of detailed laws and jurisprudence. Didn’t I tell you to read it previously? In the end, you didn’t remember a single word.” Old Madam Wang expected better from him. “To think that I prepared ink, paper, and inkstone for you. You’re studying for nothing!”
Wang Chuangui: “…”
Mother, aren’t your expectations of me a little too high?
I’ve only been learning for a few days, and I haven’t even grasped the basics yet. Why would I go and learn the laws of the Great Chang?
Was she after his life?!
In the end, it was still Old man Wang who said, “Everything in the house belongs to the owner after the transaction. Once the contract is signed, other than the agreed content, the rest will be given to the buyer by default. Whether the buyer has made a loss or made a profit, the seller can’t pursue the matter anymore. Otherwise, they will be punished according to the crime of slander!”
Actually, there was a more detailed law. Basically, after buying the house, everything in the house would belong to the new owner.
Unless there was a mine under the house. In that case, they had to apply to mine it. Usually, mining was handed over to the government or a local aristocratic family.
Ordinary people were not qualified.
Therefore, in principle, everything in the pit they dug by the pool belonged to the Wang Family.
This time, the others from the Wang Family heaved a sigh of relief.
They were not that selfless. The value of so many things added up was unknown.
If they really had to return them to the owner, they would really be reluctant.
Although it did not belong to them to begin with, since they had seen it, they naturally did not want to miss it.
Old Madam Wang asked the women to pick up the trinkets and clean them up before drying them. Then, she instructed everyone to continue working.
This time, Old man Wang’s family was even more enthusiastic about working. Perhaps they could find money from cleaning.
Then their family could make a fortune just by cleaning!
Coincidentally, the brothers went to the pool to clean up the mud. In the end, they dug out two more antique bowls and two silver ingots.
After soaking in the water all year round, the bowl and silver looked a little new.
“Previously, I thought that this was a haunted house. From the looks of it, it’s simply a lucky house!” Which other house could they go to pick up so much money?
The Spirit Treasure Rat had been following Little Ah Yu. From time to time, it would hold its hand to its mouth and gesture that it wanted to eat.
Little Ah Yu asked, “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?”
The rat kept bowing.
It was very human-like.
Old Madam Wang said warmly, “Ah Yu, since it likes you so much, let it follow you. Look at what it likes to eat.”
Little Ah Yu nodded obediently. “Yes, yes, yes. I understand.”
The Spirit Treasure Rat did not eat anything else. It only wanted to eat the fruits in Little Ah Yu’s spatial pocket.
Moreover, it ate one after another. After taking one, it climbed onto a tree and placed it in the tree hole.
The Wang family followed it and realized that there was also some gold and silver in the tree hole, as well as more gray stones.
Naturally, they were also confiscated.
The Spirit Treasure Rat was not anxious when it saw that its treasures were taken away. It just liked to find those treasures and hoard them.
However, it did not care about them after putting them away.
“What is this stone for?” Wang Wulang had been curious for a long time.
It was a very ordinary stone. It was still very hard outside.
When Wang Wulang asked, he even threw the stone around in his hand.
Old Madam Wang said, “It’s a raw stone. There should be jade inside.”
Pa!
The stone fell onto the grass.
Madam Zhang rushed over and slapped Wang Wulang’s head.
“You prodigal child, how dare you throw this thing on the ground!”
Wang Wulang: “…”
You didn’t stop me when I was playing with it. Moreover, Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother were also playing with it. Little Ah Yu even had two in her pocket.
Why aren’t you beating them?
They only knew how to bully honest people.
This was too much!
