Shen Rong looked at the yellow muddy water that could not be seen clearly at the bottom of the basin, and then looked at Changsheng who was covered in mud, and was secretly surprised.

Although she couldn't see what was in the basin, she knew there must be a lot of golden beans in the basin because she saw Changsheng taking things out of his arms several times.

"Changsheng, where did you pick these up from?" Shen Rong took a clean basin and put it aside.

"I went to play in the mud and caught it in the mud." Changsheng glanced at Shen Rong's expression and saw that she didn't seem to be angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Rong secretly sighed that Changsheng was lucky.

Others went out of their way to look for them but couldn't find them. Changsheng just played in the mud and quietly picked up a bag of golden beans and brought them back.

Why is this guy becoming more and more cunning?

"Did anyone see you picking up the golden beans?"

Changsheng tilted his head and thought about it, then shook his head.

No one sees you picking up golden beans, but people will see you picking up mud.

Shen Rong felt a little amused when she saw Changsheng's serious look.

She turned around and took another sieve and placed it on the basin. She poured the yellow muddy water and the golden beans into the sieve. The muddy water flowed through the holes in the sieve, and the golden beans remained on the sieve.

There were really a lot of golden beans, forming a whole layer. Shen Rong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my God! Changsheng, where did you go to play in the mud? You are so lucky!" Shen Rong's voice suddenly became higher.

Shen Rong thought that after the villagers searched the west side of the village, there were no more golden beans left. She didn't expect that Changsheng had picked up so many golden beans again, which really surprised her.

The noise in the kitchen attracted Sixth Grandma.

"What's going on..." As soon as Sixth Grandma came in, she saw the golden beans in the bamboo sieve, and her eyebrows couldn't help but raise a few points.

The villagers have been looking for golden beans during this period, and Sixth Grandma has heard a lot about how many golden beans so and so have picked up, but she has never been interested.

For her, her family had not yet reached the point where they had to live with the dead's things.

However, she never expected that Changsheng could get so many gold beans just by playing in the mud.

Sixth Grandma was filled with sighs for a moment.

Changsheng had grown up, and the two old people, for the sake of Changsheng's future, worked very hard to save money for him. After decades of saving, they only managed to save a few hundred taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Changsheng got married, it was as if the God of Wealth had entered the family. They always had unexpected gains, and even the herbs they collected on a daily basis were more than before.

There were also those precious herbs that the two old men had never collected, and they were gradually available in their home.

In just over a year, Grandma Liu watched the family's wealth grow.

She also had to admit that this Changsheng daughter-in-law was a prosperous family.

After all, Changsheng rarely played in the mud before, and I had never seen him bring anything back.

"Where did they come from? Didn't they say that the west side of the village was turned upside down and everything was gone?" Sixth Grandma closed the stove door with her backhand. She looked at the many golden beans in the sieve and felt somewhat excited.

Although there is no need to use the things in the tomb in their daily lives, who would complain about having too much gold?

Changsheng saw that his grandmother had no intention of saying that his clothes were dirty, so he quickly said as if asking for praise: "Grandma, I dug this out of the mud."

Sixth Grandma looked at Shen Rong. Changsheng was covered in mud. Who couldn't tell that he was dug out of the mud!

"Grandma, it should be in the ravine west of the village. Changsheng and Xiao Zhuzi went there at noon. These golden beans look the same as those picked up by the villagers."

Sixth Grandma asked the question subconsciously because she was too surprised. She didn't really want to find out where Changsheng got the golden beans.

"This thing came out of a tomb. Tomorrow I'll go to the ancestral hall and grab a piece of red cloth. It's better to wrap it up with that. Changsheng's wife can put it away first!"

Shen Rong put away the golden beans. She didn't say a word to Changsheng about the fact that he was covered in mud. She even praised Changsheng all over.

Changsheng is so smart, Changsheng is so powerful, Changsheng is so good!

In short, the compliments were free of charge.

Shen Rong happily soaked Changsheng's dirty clothes in water, rubbed them with soap, and then left them in the basin, waiting to take them to the canal to wash them the next morning.

Changsheng went home with a bag of golden beans in his pocket. Not only did he not eat fried pork slices with bamboo shoots as his friends expected, he was also praised by Shen Rong and was even allowed to eat two more pieces of snacks in the cupboard.

But the little guys were not so lucky.

Shitou was covered in mud after playing. As soon as he ran into the yard of his home, his mother grabbed his ears.

"Where have you been, you little bastard? Look at all the mud on you, where did you get it?

Look at this! Look at this nice set of clothes, it is dirtier than a dog's butt!

I told you not to play in the mud! Don't play in the mud!

You take my words for granted, don't you? Tell me, how are you going to wash these clothes? Are you trying to tire me to death?"

The more Shi Tou Niang scolded, the angrier she became, and the strength she used with her hands unconsciously increased.

"Ouch! It hurts...it hurts, mom, please let go, let go quickly, my ear is going to fall off..."

Shitou's head was pulled to one side, and he tried to pull at his mother's hand with one hand. Unfortunately, he was small and weak, so he tried several times but it didn't work.

"Let go? If I don't teach you a lesson, how can you know how powerful I am?" Although Shi Tou Niang said this, she felt sorry for her son and she lightened her grip.

When Shitou saw that his mother's attitude had softened, he quickly begged for mercy.

"Mom, listen to me first. I didn't play in the mud. I went to the western ravine to look for golden beans..."

In order to avoid being beaten, Shitou told everyone the story of how he and his playmates went to the west of the village to pick up golden beans.

As for why he was so picky, it was of course because if his mother knew that they had been looking for golden beans for a while and then went to play in the mud, he would still not be able to escape a beating.

"Where are the golden beans?" Shi Tou's mother grabbed Shi Tou's ear with one hand and stretched the other hand in front of Shi Tou.

Her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and there was no excitement or anticipation on her face.

Obviously, she knew very well that her son said he was going to pick golden beans and he must be going out to play. She had no hope at all for the golden beans that Shitou mentioned.

So many people didn’t find it, could she believe that a child playing in the mud could pick up golden beans?

The stone choked. Where are the golden beans to be picked up in the ravine now? Even if there are, they have been picked up by people long ago.

However, the ear is still in his mother's hand, and Shitou knows that if he doesn't tell something, he will not be able to escape the meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.

Just as he was racking his brains to think of an excuse, suddenly an idea came to him and he thought of the mud lumps in his arms.

If he had been given just a little chance to save his ear from his mother, he could have escaped the beating.

"Mom, here are the golden beans!" Shitou reached into his arms and grabbed the lump of mud that he had stuffed into his arms earlier.

When Shi Tou Niang heard what Shi Tou said, she subconsciously went to answer.

Shitou didn't even look at what was in his hand clearly, he just stuffed it into his mother's hands. As soon as his ears were free again, he ran out.

As for why he ran?

Isn't that just a guilty conscience?

How could he not feel guilty if he treated a lump of mud as a golden bean to please his mother?

As soon as Shi Tou Niang saw what was in her hand, she was shocked and didn't care whether her son ran away or not.

This really seems to be a golden bean...

The original mud lumps had long been wiped off by the stone clothes, revealing the original golden color inside.

Shi Tou Niang looked at the mud lumps in her hand with disbelief on her face. She subconsciously took one and wiped it with her clothes.

This...this is really a golden bean!

When Shitou's mother looked up to find her son, she discovered that Shitou had already run away.

What is this brat running around for?
