When Shi Tou Niang saw her son running away, she didn't bother to chase him.

She wiped the golden beans one by one and counted them several times. Wow, there were six golden beans in total.

She and Stone's father dug in the ravine for three days and only found twelve golden beans. Stone dug back half of them in one go.

wrong!

Shi Tou's mother suddenly remembered that Shi Tou had just casually grabbed six golden beans, so the brat must have more golden beans in his arms.

Shi Tou Niang suddenly became anxious.

What is this brat running around for? If he gets rid of the golden beans, I will pull his ears off!

Shitou's mother grumbled as she chased after Shitou. She didn't dare to shout about the golden beans, but just shouted, "Shitou, come back for dinner!"

In order to prevent her son from hiding from her, Shi Tou Niang tried to speak as gently as possible and did not dare to show any anger at all.

However, she was no longer angry at all about her son coming back from playing in the mud. She was just a little anxious, fearing that her son would run away with the golden beans.

"Shitou, come back for dinner soon. I promise I won't pull your ears anymore. Come back quickly!"

Shitou heard his mother calling him in front and subconsciously paused. But then he thought of what he had just done, felt guilty again, and ran forward quickly again.

Mother also said she wouldn't pull his ears anymore.

Don't pull his ears, there's also bamboo shoots and fried pork slices! He's not that stupid!

The mother and son, one was running in front, the other was chasing in front.

Originally, Shi Tou Niang could still be nice and gentle, but after chasing her silly son for a long time, he still ran away, so she got angry.

"You little brat, why are you running? If you run any further, you'll have to stay here and never come back today!

"I told you not to hit you and told you to go home and eat, why are you running? You are running so fast, are you in a hurry to be reborn?"

Shi Tou Niang ran out of breath. Children in their teens are the most naughty, and Shi Tou Niang couldn't catch up with her son for a while.

The mother and son chased each other until they reached the village entrance. As a result, Shitou was not paying attention and was caught by his father who was returning to the village.

"Shi Tou, what are you doing? Didn't your mother call you?" Shi Tou's father grabbed Shi Tou.

"Dad." Shitou struggled for a while, then resigned himself to standing beside his father, looking dejected.

I secretly groaned in my heart, oh no, I can't escape this beating.

Shitou's mother caught up with him, panting heavily. She didn't bother to teach her son a lesson. She pulled the man's arm and whispered, "Hurry up and take Shitou back for dinner. It's almost dark."

Shitou was a little surprised that his mother didn't beat him. Did she beat him when she got home?

Shitou's father noticed that his wife was a little strange today, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that she was in a hurry to go home for dinner.

When the family of three returned home, Shi Tou Niang did not bring out any food. She turned around, closed the door, and stared at her son with shining eyes.

"Mom, didn't you... say you wouldn't hit me anymore?" When Shitou saw his mother approaching him with a "ferocious" look on her face, he was so scared that he took several steps back.

When Shi Tou's mother saw that her son dared to hide, she became furious. She grabbed her son and reached into Shi Tou's arms accurately and quickly.

When Stone Lady touched the golden beans, a smile of ecstasy broke out on her face.

"Boss, look." Shi Tou's mother took her hand out of Shi Tou's clothes and handed it to Shi Tou's father.

At first glance, Stone Dad only saw a few lumps of mud and didn't pay much attention to them.

"This guy, why did he put mud lumps in his clothes? Isn't this ruining the clothes?" Shi Tou's father also noticed that Shi Tou was covered in mud, and his expression looked a little ugly.

Shitou has been afraid of his father since he was a child. When he saw his father's face change, he shrank his neck and dared not speak.

"It's not a lump of mud, it's a golden bean." Shi Tou Niang leaned close to the man's ear and whispered, while rubbing the mud-covered golden bean onto her clothes. Soon a golden bean appeared in front of the three people.

Shitou never thought that the mud lump he picked up was actually golden beans. He widened his eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts that he had picked up golden beans and he would not be beaten anymore.

Shitou was so happy that he didn't come to his senses for a long time until he heard his mother asking him.

"Shitou, where did you pick this up?"

"Over there in the ravine!" Shitou replied subconsciously.

"Which ravine?" Stone's father looked surprisingly good at this moment.

Shitou thought for a moment and said, "I picked these up from the dirt slope beside the ravine."

The couple looked at each other, then looked at the sky outside which was already darkening. Shi Tou Niang felt a little disappointed.

It was already dark, and she didn't dare run into the mountains at this time.

"Let's eat! After eating, go to bed early and get up early tomorrow." Stone's father's meaning was very clear.

Shi Tou's mother nodded, grabbed Shi Tou and searched his body thoroughly, then let him go to eat.

Shitou was lucky. His mother only pulled his ear, and then she discovered that the mud lumps he put in his pocket were actually golden beans.

Other children were not so lucky.

As soon as they entered the door, they were grabbed by their family members and beaten with bamboo sticks. After the beating, the mud lumps in their arms were not discovered by their family members.

It was not until they took off their clothes and washed up before going to bed that they remembered the mud lumps in their arms and took them out. Only then did they discover that the mud lumps did not look like mud lumps. They hurriedly called their parents, who found that they were indeed golden beans.

Everyone was surprised and happy.

The child felt aggrieved, thinking that the meal was in vain.

There were also careless children who didn't even notice that they had golden beans on them.

Because he was beaten by the adults for these mud lumps, he was unhappy and carelessly threw them into the corner where no one found them.

Xiao Zhuzi has always known that the beans covered in mud are golden beans.

When he returned home, Grandma Zhuzi saw that he was dirty, but she didn't say anything. She just asked him to wash up, change clothes and have dinner.

Xiao Zhuzi took out the golden beans and gave them to his grandmother.

Grandma was shocked.

"This... didn't they say there was nothing left to pick up? Why did you pick up so much?"

Zhuzi shook his head and said, "I don't know. I dug it out from the mud. I'll go again tomorrow morning."

Grandma Zhuzi looked at the countless golden beans and thought for a while before asking, "Did you discover this by yourself? Or do others know about it?"

Grandma Zhuzi knew that her grandson usually played with a group of children in the village.

Xiao Zhuzi paused and thought of the other children.

He always thought that everyone was like him, knowing that there were golden beans in the mud, so they stuffed mud into their arms silently.

“All the kids I played with knew it.”

Grandma Zhuzi shook her head. "These are already a lot. With the money from before, it's enough for you to marry a wife in the future. You don't have to go tomorrow."

Xiao Zhuzi raised his head and looked at his grandmother, "Grandma, why?"

Grandma Zhuzi sighed, "Child, so many people know about you. There will definitely be a lot of people going there tomorrow. With your tiny arms and legs, who can you compete with?

As for us, we should eat meals that match the size of our abilities and bowls.

Grandma is old now, and she can’t protect you if anything happens.

Grandma just hopes that you can grow up safely.

As long as we have enough money to spend, it's fine. Since we have two grandchildren, one old and one young, we dare not spend too much, lest we attract people with bad intentions."

Zhuzi had always thought that his grandmother was reluctant to spend money, so she let him wear old clothes and eat meat only once in a long time. It turned out to be this reason.

Seeing that she had convinced her grandson, Grandma Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma has always known that you are a sensible child. When you grow up and have your own abilities, you won't have to worry about these things. But you are still young now, so Grandma has to make plans for you."

"Grandma, I understand. I won't go tomorrow."

After listening to his grandmother's explanation, Xiao Zhuzi no longer had any thoughts in his mind.
