A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 218 Yun Jiao's Birthday
“My granddaughter just picked up a stone, but it’s worth so much money.”

He had never even heard of so much money in his life, let alone dreamed of it.

Grandma Yun, who had once been wealthy, was the first to recover.

But she was genuinely shocked by the amount of money—seven million.

Yun Jiao: "We need to sell the money to buy a big house in the capital for my grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, and brothers to live in!"

After counting everyone in the family one by one, Yun Jiao said to Grandpa Mu, "Grandpa Mu, you're coming to live with us too."

It has to be said that at this moment, Old Mu felt a little warm inside.

He was all alone and thought his life would just end like this, but unexpectedly, he gained a very talented apprentice after coming to this small fishing village.

There's also such a clever and mischievous little girl.

"Hahaha... Then this old man will just have to wait to enjoy his retirement."

Grandpa Yun and the others were also excited, thinking about buying a big house in the capital.

It has to be said that people of this era have a longing for the capital city.

If anyone could visit Tiananmen Square in the capital and witness the raising of the national flag, it would be a memory worth showing off and cherishing.

As for buying a house in the capital, that's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Grandpa Yun's dark face flushed with excitement: "We don't need to buy a house. We can just go to the capital to see Tiananmen Square and the national flag. Buying a house is too expensive."

Yun Jiao was very stubborn: "No, we have to buy a big house."

Old Mu also said, "Old brothers, don't worry about the money. If you have that money, buying a house in the capital is the best option. Regardless of whether you want to live there or not, you have several children. I reckon your third child's academic performance is good enough to get into Tsinghua or Peking University."

"If he really goes to Tsinghua or Peking University, he'll need a place to stay in the capital. No one's home is as good as your own, and who knows, maybe your other kids will also go to the capital someday, including Jiaojiao. If you have the means, just buy it."

"Most importantly, there are many people in the capital who want to develop their careers abroad, and some courtyard houses are eager to be sold. This is the right time, otherwise I reckon that in a few years, there won't be anywhere to buy one."

Despite his advanced age, Mu Lao's rich experience allows him to see many development trends clearly.

After listening to Old Man Mu's analysis, Grandma Yun immediately decided, "Then let's buy it, but the house must be registered in Jiaojiao's name."

Old Master Mu held a certain appreciation for Grandma Yun. The family was so united, and the children were so well-educated; this older sister deserved a lot of credit for it.

Now that he had made the decision, Old Mu needed to contact his friend.

Grandpa Yun instructed that this matter should not be discussed with Yun Xiaowu and the other children.

They were also afraid that the more people who knew, the more trouble they would cause if they let it slip.

He also instructed the rest of the family: "You all better watch your mouths, and remember this well: even if you've been drinking, don't let it slip to me, or I'll skin you alive!"

The saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." When they were unable to keep such a large sum of money and ambergris, and others found out, it was a disaster for them.

"I know dad!"

That night, everyone except Yun Jiao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The valuation of over seven million was simply too much of a shock for them.

I close my eyes and think about that piece of ambergris.

Then I couldn't help but want to go and take a look, so I wouldn't lose it.

Yun Chenbei, whose room was filled with ambergris: …………

Why don't you just take it?
The next day, apart from Yun Jiao and a few others who were unaware of the situation, everyone else had dark circles under their eyes.

Yun Xiaowu: "Dad, did you steal a cow last night?"

"Go to school, why should a little kid like you worry about so much?"

Yun Xiaowu pouted, "Fine, I won't say."

"Jiaojiao's birthday is coming soon, do you have any wishes?"

Yun Jiao's birthday is March 7th.

Her birthday is in three days.

Yun Jiao: "I want to go out to sea!"

Yun Linhai and the others: …………

Why do you keep thinking about going to the sea?

"Okay, I'll take you there when the weather is nice." Yun Jiao smiled broadly.

Before Old Mu and his friend arrived, their family still had to make a living.

Aside from being overly concerned about ambergris every day, the adults in the family were otherwise the same as usual.

That day, Yunjiao went to the county to find her master and hand in her learning assignment.

She has an amazing memory; even if she can't write those ancient traditional characters, she can still recognize them just by looking at them.

By now, I've managed to recognize almost all the words in the dictionary.

Old Xu nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, from now on you can recite the 'Formulas for Decoctions'."

Yun Jiao nodded, just then someone outside called for Old Xu.

Yun Jiao went to the house in the backyard and started reading a book on traditional Chinese medicine.

It even has pictures and text.

She observed carefully and discovered that some marine creatures could also be used as medicine.

For example, kelp can treat symptoms such as goiter and edema. Oysters and abalone shells are also Chinese medicinal materials, although these things are mostly used for food.

Among the more valuable items are seahorses and pearls.

Seahorses have a wider range of uses.

Ambergris is also a medicinal herb, isn't it?

Yun Jiao thought to herself, "Why don't I save some to give to my master when I sell them?"

Her master treated her very well.

When Old Xu returned, Yun Jiao had already finished the plate of red bean paste cakes on the table.

He gently tapped the little girl on the head.

"Do not overeat."

Although she said that, when Yun Jiao left, she still had someone pack up a lot of pastries.

Old Xu has a chef who specializes in making food. Some of his pastries are not only beautiful and delicious, but also have a warming and nourishing effect.

In short, it's good for your health.

I packed a really big box for Yun Jiao.

"Master, I'm leaving now. Tomorrow is my birthday, remember to come see me."

"Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother is coming too!"

Several people stood at the door to see them off. Old Xu said irritably, "They've all gone to your place. Will this clinic even be able to open tomorrow?"

Yun Jiao stuck out her tongue and happily left with her father.

Unsurprisingly, Xiao Yunjiao, who spends money lavishly, bought a lot of things to take home.

Yunjiao's fourth birthday was a big deal for her family.

Yun Xiaowu and his friends threw a tantrum and asked for a day off.

Yunlinhe made a special trip to the county to bring her back a birthday cake.

That day, Yun Jiao wore the new dress that Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei had made together.

It's a very pretty blue dress.

Because Yunjiao loves the sea, they even bought magazines and books to learn how to design and make dresses based on the clothes and skirts worn by beautiful celebrities, incorporating elements of the sea.

Yun Jiao liked it very much.

Her hair was tied into two cute braids, with little bells adorning the ends.

She looks like a pretty and cute little elf.

Several cars arrived at Bailong Village early this morning.

Few people in their village own bicycles, but they have been fortunate enough to see four-wheeled cars several times.

Today it was even worse; four cars arrived at once, causing a stir throughout the village. Everyone followed the cars and arrived at Yun Jiao's house.
