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

Chapter 259 Gold Ingots
The sound was too loud, so Shen Yunlian quickly covered her mouth.

But at this moment, the shock on Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei's faces had not disappeared.

Yun Jiao slightly raised her chin.

"I found it in the sea, aren't I amazing?"

Of course it's amazing!

Overwhelmed with emotion, Wang Mei hugged Yun Jiao and kissed her fair and pretty face several times.

"Jiaojiao, you are such a precious darling!"

How come this thing I found is so valuable?

They've lived by the sea for so long, and for most of their lives, or even their entire lives, they've never found anything of value.

Their Yun Jiao is only four years old, and they've already brought back so many things.

My goodness, you've got a golden baby at home!
After the initial excitement subsided, the two sisters-in-law opened the box completely, their eyes shining as they began counting the gold inside.

It was full of gold ingots, the kind that weighed ten taels each.

There are at least a hundred gold ingots here.

There are so many gold ingots, weighing at least a hundred pounds. It's only thanks to Yun Jiao's strength that an ordinary person couldn't carry them back.

"Wash it with water."

They closed all the doors, fetched water, and began cleaning the dirt clinging to the gold ingots.

Wang Mei beamed with delight as she held the gold ingot: "This little one is really pretty."

"By the way, Jiaojiao, why did you come back alone? Where are your father and uncle?"

Yun Jiao took a small brush and followed along to wash the gold ingots.

"We encountered someone who had been bitten by a shark at sea, and my father and the others took him to the hospital."

"What?!"

"That's really bad luck. Is the person still alive?"

"No, he almost died, but I saved him."

"You went to rescue them?"

Upon hearing this, both women turned their gazes to her.

"The shark that bites is quite large. How can you be so brave for such a small child? Are you alright?"

Yun Jiao simply spun around in front of them: "Look, I'm perfectly fine."

"They brought orcas with them."

Oh, it's alright then.

“Hey, the risks at sea are not small. Luckily you can breathe in the sea, otherwise we wouldn’t feel comfortable letting you go out to sea with us.”

"I hope he's okay."

Those who go out to sea to fish are usually young and middle-aged men, the pillars of their families.

If this person really passes away, the family, including the able-bodied and young members, will have a very difficult time.

"Mother, I want to buy two beautiful bracelets."

Yun Jiao was clever; she didn't tell her mother how much the beautiful bracelet cost.

"purchase!"

Looking at the pile of gold, Shen Yunlian was very generous.

“Jiaojiao earned this money herself, she picked it up from the sea, she can buy whatever she wants.”

Wang Mei: "The seller of ambergris still has a lot of money left. Why don't we leave this gold for now?"

Shen Yunlian thought so too.

Having lived so long, they understand better than Yun Jiao, a child, that gold is always a hard currency, regardless of the era.

We still have a lot of money at home, and since we don't lack money, we can definitely save the gold.

Yun Jiao naturally had no objections.

However, where to hide such a valuable item is a problem.

Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He took the person to the hospital and then returned.

When I got home, I was wondering why they kept the house so tightly locked in broad daylight.
"What's going on? Nobody's home?"

Yun Linhe knocked on the door, but the house was quiet.

Just as he was about to get his keys, the door opened.

The next second, his wife pulled him inside.

Yunlinhai: What's going on?!
Wang Mei: "Brother, come in quickly."

That furtive, secretive manner was incredibly alluring.

Yun Linhe scratched his head: "Wife, what are you doing? This is our own home. People who don't know better will think you're stealing something from someone else's house."

Then he got a good beating from Wang Mei.

"Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"

"Honestly, you have such a foul mouth, you can't say anything nice."

Yun Jiao chuckled as she watched. Yun Linhe didn't dare retaliate, but could he really not handle this little girl, Yun Jiao?

He hugged Yun Jiao and ruffled her hair.

"Still laughing? Do you think your uncle's jokes are so funny?!"

Yun Jiao snorted and decided to complain: "Auntie, Uncle bullied me."

Unsurprisingly, Yunlin River was punished again.

Covering his ears, Yun Linhe followed his older brother and Yun Jiao to the bathroom, looking utterly pathetic.

then……

Did he go to the wrong place?

The Yunlin brothers, Hai and He, stared blankly for a moment, then took a step back in unison and turned to look at the furnishings in the room.

Did they go to someone else's house?
"Wait a minute, this is our own home!"

Did I just see things wrong?

The two stepped into the bathroom again.

"Fuck!"

Looking at the stack of gold ingots on the ground, Yun Linhe couldn't help but swear excitedly.

"This, this, this..."

The two brothers stared wide-eyed: "Ours?"

Wang Mei and Shen Yunlian felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing the way the two of them acted.

“Our Jiaojiao brought it back.”

"No, Jiaojiao didn't go out to sea with us, when did she..."

At this point, Yunlinhe and Yunlinhai suddenly realized something.

"It's that broken wooden box!"

The two said in unison.

"No wonder it's so heavy, it's the weight of money."

"Jiaojiao, where did you find her?"

Yun Jiao stood with her hands behind her back, accepting everyone's gaze.

"I was playing with an orca when we discovered a huge shipwreck on the seabed."

"Shipwreck!"

Several people were shocked.

"There must be more than just this one box inside."

Yun Linhai: "Could it be the shipwreck your godfather was talking about? He said he was going to salvage it, and now you've found it yourself?"

"OK."

Yunlinhe sighed with regret: "We can't go to the deep parts of the sea, otherwise we would have gone with Jiaojiao to see it too."

Seeing what a shipwreck looks like in person would be incredibly exciting.

Who knows, we might even find treasure.

Unfortunately, unlike Jiaojiao, they can not only breathe in the sea but also withstand water pressure.

Yun Jiao: "I'm looking for a godfather. He said he'd take me diving."

"Yes, you should tell your godfather about the shipwreck."

As previously agreed, Sun Yaotong would provide funding and equipment, and everyone would work together to find and salvage the shipwreck.

Now that the shipwreck has been found, Yun Jiao can explore and search for treasure before Sun Yaotong arrives.

But with such a large shipwreck, it's unrealistic to expect Yun Jiao to find the treasures inside by herself.

Sun Yaotong also contacted a shipyard for them, so their large iron-hulled ship was secured.

They've helped them so much; now that they've found the shipwreck, they can't just keep it a secret.

Yun Linhe patted Yun Jiao's head: "Before your godfather arrives, whatever you can salvage from that sunken ship is yours."

Yun Jiao nodded.

After finishing her lunch, Yun Jiao started thinking about the two bracelets she wanted to buy.

When Yun Linhai thought about the price of that bracelet, his excitement about finding so much gold diminished considerably.

Shen Yunlian rolled her eyes when she saw that he looked unwell.

"If Jiaojiao wants to buy a bracelet, let her buy it. We're not short of money now, and our daughter should be raised in comfort."

Besides, that money still belonged to Jiaojiao herself.

Yun Linhai said with a bitter expression, "The two bracelets she wanted cost 100,000."

"What?! One hundred thousand?!?!"
