The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 154 So Many Treasures
Xiao Ayu recounted how they discovered the Spirit-Testing Rat, and the group went to the pool to look again.

They discovered a mouse hole there as well.

Grandma Wang felt that the rat was quite extraordinary. Thinking of the guardian spirit behind Little Ayu, she had an idea and ordered, "Dig this hole open."

Since the old lady had spoken, the Wang family naturally dared not disobey.

The hole of the magical rat was a foot above the water surface. Only after digging it open did they discover that there was a lot more to it than met the eye.

As Wang Chuanman dug, he said, "You know what, this hole is much bigger than that one. Could it be that the rat was afraid of being discovered, so it deliberately ran out?"

Wang Chuanyuan: "It's just a mouse, how could it be that smart? It was probably just a coincidence."

However, after they had completely dug the hole, they had to admit that Wang Chuanman's guess was correct.

Because that cave was filled with treasures!
There was a pile of various gold and silver jade pieces, some jade pieces, two bowls that looked like antiques, and more than ten jade bracelets, gold hairpins, and silver hair ornaments.

There were also a few dusty, gray stones.

Even though the Wang family had never seen these things before, they knew they were valuable.

"My God, whose family has hidden treasure here?!"

"Could that rat be a treasure-hunting rat?"

Even Grandma Wang fell into deep thought.

Old Wang said, "In previous years, I had only heard of such treasure-hunting rats from storytellers. They would search for treasures in the world and then hide them in their burrows. Today, I've actually seen one."

The adults were in shock, while the children went to see the magic-testing rat.

Goodness gracious! This little thing can actually find treasures? It's really good at hiding them!

They all stared at the Spirit-Testing Rat with great curiosity.

The Spirit Rat had never seen anything like this before, and it huddled in Little Ayu's arms, trembling.

The little lamb was a little unhappy when it saw that Xiao Ayu was holding a mouse in her arms. Its fluffy head kept nodding back and forth at Xiao Ayu's waist.

"Little lamb, you're going to knock Ayu down!" Little Ayu pouted and said to the lamb, "You're too heavy, I can't carry you!"

"Sister Ayu, let me see." Wang Wulang was very excited. This mouse was a treasure mouse. Could it find some other treasures?
If they really could find all sorts of treasures, then let the rats make money for them. They wouldn't need to learn anything, they could just stay home all day, eat and wait to die, and live a carefree life.

So cool!
Wang Wulang had already imagined his leisurely life at 80, and he felt very happy.

However, the Spirit-Testing Rat wouldn't let them touch it, only wanting to stay with Little Ayu, so they had no choice but to give up.

But sir, this situation is a bit tricky.

Wang Chuanfu was an exceptionally upright person, and he immediately thought of sending the money to the owner's family.

"This might have been stolen by a rat from the owner's house. The owner will be very worried when they find out, as it's a lot of money."

Grandma Wang didn't say anything, and no one could figure out what she meant.

“I heard from the neighbors that the owners left a long time ago, and they don’t know where they moved to or how they can return home,” Ma said.

While her belongings were being stolen, Mrs. Ma got to know her neighbors and learned quite a bit of gossip.

The neighbors were all kind-hearted people and had no secrets, so when Ma asked, they told her everything.

"What should we do then? Should we send it to the government?" Wang Chuanfu was terrified at the mention of the government and didn't want to go at all.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Old Madam Wang slowly said, "What's the rush? What's the hurry? I told you to read more books in your spare time. You should be more obtuse and go and check how the laws of Dachang are written!"

The sons and daughters-in-law looked at each other, wondering what this had to do with the law.
Grandma Wang looked at Wang Chuangui: "Second son, you speak."

Wang Chuangui looked completely bewildered: "Huh, Mom, what did I say?"

"The Great Chang Code is the fundamental law of the Great Chang Kingdom, which includes various detailed legal precedents. I made you read it before, but you haven't memorized a single word." Old Mrs. Wang said with exasperation, "All that effort I put into preparing the writing materials for you has been wasted! You just read the book all day like this!"

Wang Chuangui: "..."

Mother, aren't your expectations for me a little too high?
I've only been learning for a few days, I haven't even grasped the basics, and now I'm starting to learn some Dachang Law.

Is this really going to kill him?!
Old Wang said, "The property belongs to the owner. After the sale, once the contract is signed, everything except the agreed-upon terms is automatically given to the buyer. Whether the buyer makes a profit or a loss, they cannot pursue the matter further; otherwise, it will be considered defamation!"

There are actually more detailed regulations, but the gist is that once you buy a house, everything about it belongs to you. Unless there's a mine beneath your house, in which case you need to apply for permission to mine it; usually, mining is handled by the government or local powerful families.

Ordinary people are absolutely not qualified for this.

Therefore, everything in the pit they dug by the pool, in principle, belongs to Old Wang's family.

Now, the rest of the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief.

They weren't entirely selfless either; the total value of all those things was immeasurable.

They really wouldn't want to return it to its owners.

Although it didn't originally belong to them, now that they've seen it, they naturally don't want to miss it.

Grandma Wang had her daughters-in-law pick up the things, clean them up a bit, and wipe them dry. Then she directed everyone to continue working.

Now, the Wang family is even more enthusiastic about working, hoping they might find some money somewhere.

Their family could make a fortune just from cleaning!

As luck would have it, the brothers went to clear the silt from the pool and unearthed two antique bowls and two silver ingots.

Despite being submerged in water for many years, the bowl and silver still look somewhat new.

"I thought this was a haunted house before, but now it seems like a lucky house!" Who could find so much money in their house?

The Spirit-Testing Rat followed Little Ayu closely, occasionally cupping its hands to its mouth as if it wanted to eat.

Little Ayu asked it, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

The rat, which was testing the magic of the treasure, kept bowing.

They are very perceptive and understanding.

Grandma Wang said gently, "Ayu, since it likes you so much, let it stay with you. See what it likes to eat."

Little Ayu nodded obediently: "Mmm, I know."

The Spirit Rat wouldn't eat anything else; it only wanted to eat the kind of fruit from Little Jade's space.

Moreover, it would eat one and then take another, climb up a tree, and put it into a tree hole.

The Wang family went to check and found that the tree hole also contained some gold and silver, as well as those grayish stones.

Naturally, it was confiscated.

The Spirit-Detecting Rat wasn't in a hurry when its treasures were taken away; it just liked to find those treasures and then put them away.

But it doesn't care what happens after it's put away.

"What's this stone for?" Wang Wulang asked curiously for a long time.

It's just a very ordinary stone, and the outside is quite hard.

When Wang Wulang asked the question, he was tossing the stone back and forth in his hand.

Grandma Wang said, "The raw stone should contain jade."

Paji——!
The stone fell onto the grass.

Xiao Zhang rushed over and slapped Wang Wulang on the head.

"You spendthrift brat, how dare you throw this thing on the ground!"

Wang Wulang: "..."

You didn't stop me when I was playing, and my sixth and seventh brothers were playing too. Little Ayu even had two in her pocket.

Why aren't you fighting?

They just bully honest people.

unacceptable!
