Chapter 694

694 Wind Forest Sword Furnace

“A thousand jade shells, the betrothal gift for the Sun family girl of Shanghe Village…” The brother-in-law muttered unconsciously.

Before he could finish, Zeng Daniu’s father-in-law shouted, “Daniu, it’s a small matter. You also know that if there’s really no man in charge in the family, we won’t be able to live like this.

“Xiaocui is your wife and my girl. I can’t bear to see her suffer…”

As he spoke, his father-in-law wiped his tears.

He secretly glared at his useless son.

Isn’t he stupid?

Is he courting death by pestering Zeng Daniu over a thousand jade shells?

Fortunately, he was experienced. When he wiped his tears, his daughter behind Daniu also wiped her tears. When his daughter cried, the two children also cried.

Zeng Daniu’s hardened heart immediately softened.

He snorted, stood up, and strode out of the wooden house.

After walking around the door, all the neighbors looked at him in fear.

Unfortunately, he did not find Cao Erwa. Otherwise, he would have broken his ribs.

When Zeng Daniu returned home with his fists clenched, the small wooden table that he had smashed had already been rebuilt.

His father-in-law and his father sat at the table.

The two children followed his wife to the stove. The stove was steaming and fragrant, making the two children drool.

It was the smell of the sauced meat he had brought back.

There was no lack of fish on the island, but other meats were precious. Just this piece of sauce meat alone cost dozens of jade shells.

“It’s really sauced meat. Old Zeng, the last time I ate sauced meat, it was 10 years ago when I ate at the Head Fisherman’s celebratory banquet for his grandchild. It wasn’t easy for me to snatch a piece of meat…”

His father-in-law wrinkled his nose and muttered with some emotion.

Zeng Daniu’s father also sighed and said in a low voice, “That’s right. I haven’t tasted it in many years.”

His father-in-law chuckled. “Xiaocui, you can roast it a little longer. Your grandfather and I don’t have many teeth left.”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice. “Daniu is really promising, right?”

Zeng Daniu’s father was stunned and looked worried.

At this moment, Zeng Daniu happened to walk back to the wooden house.

“Daniu, you…” His father-in-law had just opened his mouth when he saw Zeng Daniu walk to the stove with a cold expression.

He reached out and pulled the busy woman by the stove.

The woman looked at him and quickly put down the spatula. She wiped her hands on the torn bib and followed him to the side.

The two little guys were staring at the pot and did not follow.

The two old men at the table, the brother-in-law hiding behind the stove, and Zeng Daniu’s mother, who was burning the fire, all craned their necks to look quietly.

The house was only so big, and there was no place to carry someone.

Zeng Daniu’s wife blushed.

Daniu had not returned for half a month. Did he miss her?

Why don’t I go with him to the sampan? she thought.

Just as she was feeling conflicted, she saw Zeng Daniu unbuckling his belt.

Seriously?

The woman quickly reached out to stop him. “Daniu, there’s still someone here…”

Zeng Daniu had already taken off his outerwear, revealing his close-fitting clothes.

Who in the village wears two robes?

Moreover, it’s such a bright new robe.

These two sets of clothes probably cost more than a hundred jade shells, right?

Is my brother-in-law really rich?

At this moment, Zeng Daniu had already taken off his clothes, revealing his muscular body.

He was already strong to begin with. After half a month of good food and cultivation with Shao Tianyi, he was even stronger.

The woman’s face turned redder and her legs went weak.

Just as she did not dare to raise her head, she heard a ripping sound.

Looking up, she saw that Zeng Daniu had torn off a corner of his clothes.

How could he rip off such a good robe?

In the wooden house, there were gasps.

“Daniu, you…” The woman did not dare to blame him. Her heart ached as she reached out to take the clothes.

However, just as she reached out, she saw Zeng Daniu take out a jade-white pearl the size of a pigeon’s egg from the corner of his tattered clothes.

Zeng Daniu glanced at everyone and grinned. “Spiritual pearl.”

If he didn’t say it, no one in the room would recognize the spiritual pearl.

They had lived in the water stronghold for their entire lives, so it was impossible for them to have seen a spiritual pearl.

They had only seen spiritual rocks and rarely touched them.

“Spirit, spirit, spiritual pearl?” His wife looked at the pearl in shock and stammered.

In the room, the others widened their eyes and did not dare to make a sound.

Of course, the two little guys who were secretly eating by the stove did not pay attention to this side.

Zeng Daniu stuffed the bead into his wife’s hand. “Feel it.”

Feel. How could she find any special characteristics?

It wasn’t just Zeng Daniu’s wife. The entire family came to feel it, but they couldn’t find anything good.

The brother-in-law wanted to reach out his hand, but he was glared at by Zeng Daniu.

“Is it really a spiritual pearl…” the brother-in-law muttered.

“A spirit pearl is worth a hundred spiritual rocks, a spiritual rock is worth a thousand jade shells, and that spiritual pearl is…” His father-in-law wanted to show off his ability, but he was stuck and could not calculate how many jade shells there were.

His wife stood by the table, feeling uneasy.

From time to time, she would turn her head to look at Zeng Daniu.

How did Daniu get a spiritual pearl?

“Xiaocui, put away the spiritual pearl. Tomorrow, go to Anhe Town and find a big house to live in.”

“Our family won’t live in the water village anymore.”

Zeng Daniu reached out to grab the spiritual pearl and stuffed it into his wife’s hand.

She opened her mouth and clenched the spiritual pearl in her hand.

At the side, his father-in-law kicked his son. “Rascal, you have to protect your sister wherever she goes in the future. Don’t let your brother-in-law worry.”

The brother-in-law quickly let out a few sighs and smiled.

Most of the meat in the pot was eaten by the two children. Fortunately, Zeng Daniu brought a pot of wine.

The few of them sat at the wooden table that was about to fall apart. Zeng Daniu’s father-in-law and brother-in-Law kept toasting him.
