C38 Secret
When they returned, they saw Fifth Xue looking for someone. Xue Xue'er skipped over and held the golden lump in her hand in front of her. She simply showed off, "Fifth Uncle, look. This is the stone that Xue'er picked up. Does it look good?"
Fifth Xue saw the golden lump and was shocked. He quickly took it and pinched it. A nail mark was left on the golden lump. Xue Xue'er saw Fifth Xue's action and laughed in her heart.
It seemed that she had met someone who knew what was good!
Xue Xue'er's pink cheeks puffed up. Her wet eyes looked at Fifth Xue and her voice was soft and mellow. "Fifth Uncle, can I bring it home?"
Fifth Xue came back to his senses and looked at his niece. His eyes were filled with disbelief. This stone was found by Xue'er!
His mother had said that Xue'er had great fortune. His legs could only be healed by Xue'er!
Looking at the pair of big wet eyes, Fifth Xue's heart was somewhat complicated. This must be Xue'er's good luck!
He touched his niece's head. "Of course I can bring Xue'er home. Xue'er is still too small to carry. Fifth Uncle will help you, okay?"
Such a large piece of gold, if the villagers knew about it, it might cause a huge stir.
He had to be careful!
"Xue'er, is that alright?" Fifth Xue looked at Xue'er. This piece of gold was picked up by Xue'er. He had to ask her for permission.
Xue Xue'er squinted her big black eyes and smiled. She nodded cutely. "Okay, Fifth Uncle, help me take it!"
Fifth Xue repeatedly reminded them, "Xue'er, Xiaowan, Qin and Fen. Only we know about today's matter. We must not tell anyone. No one can ask and no one can tell, understand?"
They nodded.
Fifth Xue was worried, so he reminded them again, "This is a secret that only we know. Can you promise Fifth Uncle that you will not tell anyone?"
Secret?
That must be very important!
The three little eyes were burning with a sense of duty. They reached out their little thumbs and hooked them with Fifth Xue's little thumbs. They patted their chests to make sure that they were safe. Only then did Fifth Xue's heart calm down.
On the way home, Fifth Xue had never raised the burden on his shoulders so much before.
Xue Xue'er held Fifth Uncle's hand and smiled. Fifth Uncle was not that stupid, this was called being wise as a fool!
Back home, Fifth Xue was beaten up as expected. The reason was that he did not take good care of Xue'er when they went up the mountain. Even the three little ones were punished.
The four of them cried on their faces and felt proud in their hearts. They had secrets!
An inexplicable sense of mission arose spontaneously.
At night, in Old Lady Xue's room, Fifth Xue carried the golden lump out. Placing it in front of her, Old Lady Xue was so scared that she directly fell on the brick bed. She rolled up again and slapped Fifth Xue. She howled, "Fifth brother, did you do something shameful? There has never been a thief in the third generation of our old Xue family!"
Fifth Xue rubbed his body in pain, "Mother, how can I do that? Listen to me!"
Third Xue told Old Lady Xue everything that happened today. Old Lady Xue was so shocked that she could not come back to her senses for a long time.
"This was really picked up by Xue'er!"
Xue Xue'er ran out from the outside and hugged Old Lady Xue's thigh. She blinked her big wet eyes and looked at her. Her voice was soft and sticky. "Milk, it's me, it's me. Fifth Uncle did not lie to you!"
Old Lady Xue hugged her granddaughter to her leg and looked at her. "Xue'er, do you know what this is?"
Xue Xue'er nodded her head as if it was crushed and her eyes sparkled. "I know. Gold!"
Both of them sucked in a breath of cold air and Old Lady Xue instantly hugged her granddaughter tightly. Her eyes were complicated!
Xue'er was indeed a blessing from the gods!
Otherwise, how could she know about gold!
Xue'er had always stayed in the village and had never gone out, much less seen gold jewelry!
Even she had only seen it once in town!
