Chapter 21: Thirty-six Pearls

Pearls were in different colors. There were white pearls, pink pearls, green pearls, and black pears.

The colorful pears reflected the glow of the setting sun, producing dazzling light.

“Mom, please bring the washbasin for the pearls.”

Su Qingluo smiled happily. She sank her pink arms into the water, took out a pearl, and handed it to Li Xiu’e with a smile.

“Well, okay.”

Li Xiu’e was not frightened anymore. She was quite surprised. Her heart was beating fast. She took the pearl without looking at it carefully. Then, she walked back to the kitchen and brought a washbasin.

One by one, Su Qingluo picked up the pearls from the bottom of the water, put them into the basin, and counted them happily as she took them.

“One, two, three… 20… 31… 36. There are 36 pearls altogether.”

“Oh my god! We are so blessed. Thank you very much, my Lord!”

Li Xiu’e held the basin with her arms trembling uncontrollably, and she kept thanking god.

“Yuyu, after taking the pearls, I am going to set it free. We can’t break our promise.”

As Su Hu watched the magic scene, strange stories told by the villagers in private flashed in his mind. Then, he felt respectful and sort of timid toward god.

“Don’t bother, dad. I’ll go and set it free.”

Su Qingluo knew that the clam only lived for a long time; therefore, they had weak intelligence. However, it was still far away from becoming a monster to harm the world.

“Well, let me send the clam back to the river. You and your mother should go into the room quickly. Don’t let outsiders see the pearls.”

Su Hu, in awe, insisted on going to set the clam free. He grabbed the clam from the bottom of the tank before he rushed out of the yard and ran to the river bank.

“Yuyu, is it okay for your dad to set the clam free?”

Li Xiu’e watched her husband rush to the bank. Her excitement gradually subsided. However, she could not help but feel uneasy.

“Mom, don’t worry about that. It will be okay!”

Su Qingluo smiled and said in a sweet voice, “Don’t you believe me? I’m the Lucky Baby. I’m born with good luck, right?”

“Of course, I believe you. You are right. It will definitely be okay.”

Su Qingluo’s smile made Li Xiu’e feel relieved, and she stopped worrying about the clam.

“It’s not easy to get a pearl as big as a pigeon egg. People cannot buy this kind of pearl in normal ways. I am thinking that we should not sell them. We could leave them to our three children as hereditary treasures.”

Over the past five years, with the help of the little kingfisher, Su Hu went up the mountain to hunt and got a lot of things. Birds and animals fell into his traps, and he could find all kinds of treasures in the mountains. At that moment, he was almost the best hunter in the village.

The Su family was no longer a poor family.

Su Hu was different. When he watched 36 gorgeous pearls with different colors after coming back from setting the clam free, he was not thinking about selling them. He even considered leaving them to his kids as hereditary treasures.

He especially liked the little girl who brought good luck to the family. He wanted to keep the best things for Yuyu.

“No. It’s not safe to leave pearls at home.”

Li Xiu’e cautiously glanced at the closed doors and windows as she said to Su Hu, “We are a poor family. How is it possible for us to own such pearls in other people’s opinions? If they see them, it will attract some guys with evil intentions. I am afraid that keeping them will bring us some trouble. We should sell them.”

“Qiaoqiao is 13 years old. She will need to get married in two years. We have to prepare dowries for her. Since she is going to the county to study, I don’t want her to rent a house to live in alone. I want to buy a small house in the county. Our family can go there at any time and stay for a period of time to take care of her.”

“Well, we have to buy a lot of things. The silver we have saved may not be enough to buy a house in the county.”
