Chapter 20 Sell Chao Chao's things to me
When County Magistrate Gao said this, Lin Lan and the others felt a pang of fear in their hearts and instantly became wary.

As if he couldn't see their reactions, Magistrate Gao continued, "Let me see."

Lin Lan and the others weren't too happy about it. They were just ordinary people, afraid of seeing an official. They'd been a bit too proud of themselves earlier, which was why they were talking so enthusiastically.

But now...

Seeing that they didn't move, Yue Chai became anxious and said, "Hurry up and show it to the adults."

"That's what Chaochao gave us." Liangping muttered softly, secretly looking up at County Magistrate Gao, and was really worried that he would take it away by force.

Scholar Guo advised softly, "Master Gao is a good official who stands up for the people. Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you after I have read it."

County Magistrate Gao glanced at him. Was this guy saying something nice about him or trying to trick him?
Lin Lan hesitated for a moment, but still took out the anklet.

Grandma Zhou and the others looked at each other and handed the rings over.

County Magistrate Gao carefully examined several pieces of jewelry and frowned slightly. He could tell the material of the anklet, which was made of silver, but these rings looked beautiful, but he had no idea what they were made of.

He didn't study this aspect in depth, but these few things...

County Magistrate Gao raised his head and said to the others, "I would like to buy these pieces of jewelry and send them to the capital to present to His Majesty."

Lin Lan and the others suddenly turned their heads and looked at Guo Xiucai. Didn’t you say you would return it to us?
"..." Mr. Guo said hurriedly, "Buy it, my lord, you are planning to buy it, not for nothing. Before Chao Chao left, didn't he also tell you to sell it and split the money equally? If my lord buys it, I will definitely not give you any unfair treatment in terms of the price."

"But we don't want to sell it now." Uncle Dashan muttered, then raised his voice slightly. "Although we are short of money, this is what Chaochao left behind before he left. It's a memory for us, so we won't sell it."

The others nodded repeatedly, some eager to take their things back.

County Magistrate Gao smiled and said, "I advise you to sell it."

Several people frowned.

County Magistrate Gao said, "These pieces of jewelry were given to you by the little girl on the sky curtain. This is no secret. If you keep them, someone will naturally covet them. After all, these things don't belong to our Great Qi Dynasty. Many people believe they are immortal artifacts, and everyone wants to get them."

Lin Lan and the others looked at each other in surprise. This, this, they hadn't thought of this.

County Magistrate Gao continued, "If you meet a kindhearted family, they might ask you to buy it, or force you to buy it, or steal it. If you meet a vicious family, you might lose your life. You are just ordinary people in the village, with a mountain of treasure but no power to protect it. It would be better to sell it to me. First, once it is in the government, few people will dare to covet it. Second, when I present it to His Majesty, you will have made a contribution."

Lin Lan and the others were obviously frightened. They felt that what County Magistrate Gao said really made sense.

That’s right, they really can’t bear to do it.

Seeing their expressions soften, County Magistrate Gao delivered a final blow. "Besides, didn't you say that the girl gave you the jewelry in the hope that you would sell it and split it equally to improve your lives? It was well-intentioned, and it was the good fruit of your kindness. But if you keep the jewelry because you don't want to sell it, and it attracts thieves and kills you, people will think that the girl is the cause of trouble. Her kindness has been betrayed by you, and she will once again become a disaster in the eyes of others."

"We'll sell it!" Lin Lan agreed immediately.

The others nodded.

County Magistrate Gao smiled and said, "Okay, then I will buy these pieces of jewelry." He turned his head and looked at Yue Chai, "I heard that the Hu family sold two rings before. How much did they sell them for?" The villagers didn't know that the Hu family sold the rings, let alone how much they sold them for. The Hu couple would not spread the news everywhere.

The problem is that something happened to the Zheng family yesterday. The Zheng family robbed the family of everything. When Yue Chai went to look for people, he also heard the old lady talking about the ring, and only then did he know how much the ring was sold for.

"One ring costs fifty taels." However, Mrs. Zheng told Zheng that two rings were worth twenty taels.

To be honest, this old lady is quite greedy. She even cheats her own daughter. No wonder Zheng is so ruthless.

County Magistrate Gao pursed his lips. Fifty taels, tsk, that’s a bit expensive.

Although he wasn't a clean-handed official, he was still a poor fellow. Moreover, it used to cost fifty taels, but now, after the effect of the sky curtain, its value had skyrocketed.

"Well, I'll pay eighty taels for each piece of jewelry." He had to clearly state the eighty taels in the memorial, hoping that the emperor would make up for it. "Although the silver is not much, after the items are delivered to the capital, there will definitely be rewards. Just wait patiently."

Lin Lan and the others nodded and had no objection.

County Magistrate Gao put away the jewelry and continued to ask about Chaochao. He not only asked those people in the village who were good to Chaochao, but also those who had bullied Chaochao.

He didn't say anything at the moment. Facing the trembling villagers, County Magistrate Gao just glanced at them and said to Yue Chai, "Keep watching the Hu family and see if there are any other relatives of the Hu family. If you have any clues, report directly to the government office."

"Yes, my lord."

County Magistrate Gao left, and I was finally able to rest for a while sitting in the carriage.

Who knew that just after I closed my eyes for a while, I was startled by the sudden sound of a message on the sky and I leaned forward to the car window, staring at the sky outside.

The mother and daughter on the skylight are having breakfast.

After Jian Yunsang finished teaching Chao Chao about the washing machine, he asked Chao Chao what he wanted to eat for breakfast.

Chao Chao didn't want to eat anything. She felt like she'd already had a good meal yesterday and couldn't afford to eat the same thing again today. One shouldn't be too greedy. Back in Shangliu Village, she knew that meat and feasts were only allowed during festivals and special occasions.

But she had eaten wontons full of meat at noon yesterday and drank thick chicken porridge in the evening, which was already a luxury.

In Chaochao's understanding, if the villagers eat meat all day on the first day, they will be more frugal on the second day, mostly eating coarse flour buns with wild vegetables.

But since Jian Yunsang asked her, she couldn't help but answer, so she hesitated and said, "Then, how about some wild vegetables?" After a pause, she quickly said, "Actually, it's okay not to eat. I ate yesterday and I'm still full."

As she spoke, she patted her belly, looking very serious.

Jian Yunsang was stunned when she heard the word wild vegetables. She didn’t think Chaochao said that because she liked to eat wild vegetables. She was just afraid that this was what she ate on a daily basis.

She squatted down and smiled, "It's a pity that we don't have any wild vegetables at home, but we can't not eat them. So, how about this, Mom decides?"
