The pearls come in various colors, white, pink, light blue, and black. The splendid colors, under the rosy glow, reflect dazzling light.

“Mother, fetch a basin to hold the pearls!”

Su Qingluo happily laughed, extending her tender lotus-root-like arm into the water to retrieve the pearls, and cheerfully handed them to Li Xiu’e.

“Oh, alright.’

Li Xiu’e’s shock turned to delight, her heart beating rapidly with excitement as she took the pearls without even examining them closely, quickly fetched a veggie-washing basin from the kitchen.

Su Qingluo retrieved the pearls one by one from the water, placing them in the basin while merrily counting.

“One, two, three, twenty, thirty-one, thirty-six, a total of thirty-six pearls.”

“Blessed by Buddha, thank you, Heaven, thank you, Buddha, thank you, freewebnove(l).com

Heaven’s bounty, Amitabha.”

Li Xiu’e held the basin with trembling arms, muttering ceaselessly under her breath.

“Sister Yu, we’ve taken the pearls, we must keep our word. Father, release it.”

Su Hu stared at the miraculous scene, thinking of the strange stories secretly circulated among the villagers, and could not help but feel an endless reverence towards Heaven.

“No need to trouble Father, I’ll do it.’

Su Qingluo was completely aware; the river clam had merely lived a long time and developed a faint spiritual intelligence, far from becoming a spirit, capable of rampant transformations among humans.

“Father should go anyway, you and Mother better get inside, don’t let others see the pearls.”

Guided by his reverential heart, Su Hu insisted on going, grabbed the river clam from the bottom of the jar, and bolted out of the courtyard towards the riverbank.

“Sister Yu, that river clam…

Li Xiu’e watched her husband dash towards the shallows, her agitated emotions gradually calming down, but an involuntary anxiety resurfaced.

“Mother, don’t worry, it’s alright!”

Su Qingluo, with her adorable little voice and bright smile, said, “Don’t you trust me? I’m the Fortune Child, born lucky and destined for great fortune.”

“You’re right, our Sister Yu said it’s alright, so it must be.”

The sun-like dazzling smile blinded Li Xiu’e’s eyes, warmed her heart, and made her forget her anxiety, allowing her heart to sink back into her stomach.

“Pearls the size of pigeon eggs are hard to come by, money can’t buy them on the market. Perhaps we should keep them and pass them down through generations to our three children.”

Over the past five years, with the covert help of Little Kingfisher, Su Hu’s hunting had reached new heights, his skills improved, and rare game abounded, reaching the pinnacle of his life as a hunter.

The Su Clan today was no longer the impoverished and destitute household it once was.

Having accumulated some wealth, Su Hu’s mindset had changed. After releasing the river clam, he looked at the thirty-six brilliant, dazzling, and uniquely colored pearls and thought first not to sell them but to save them for his children, especially his good fortune-bearing daughter. Driven by a loving father’s heart, he wanted to leave the best for Sister Yu.

“It’s not safe to keep the pearls at home.”

Li Xiu’e carefully glanced at the closed doors and windows, feeling apprehensive, “Our family does not need such fine pearls. If someone sees them, people with ulterior motives might covet them, causing trouble. It’s better to sell them and exchange them for silver.”

“Sister Qiao is already thirteen. In a few years, we’ll be discussing her marriage, and we need to prepare her dowry. For now, she’s going to study in the county town. I’m not comfortable with her renting a room there, so I’m planning to buy a small courtyard in the town so that we can stay there whenever we want and look after her.’

“As such, there are many places where we need to use silver. The silver saved in our family might not be enough to buy a courtyard in the county town..”
