Chapter 271: Chapter 273: Husband-flourishing_1

Li Qiao held his forehead, even arguing with a dog.

Halfway there, Puppy slowed down, running with a tilted neck, and Qin Jin had been paying attention to Puppy’s condition, which really became listless, so he gradually slowed down the car.

The slower he went, the slower Puppy went, eventually stopping completely.

Li Qiao, "Jin, stop the car quickly."

Before the words fell, Qin Jin had already stopped the car.

Puppy just collapsed on the ground, worn out.

Qin Jin said, "This fat dog, we shouldn’t have brought it out."

Puppy protested with a couple of barks.

Li Qiao checked Puppy’s paws, which were unharmed.

Opening the water bottle to give Puppy a drink, and waiting until Puppy had recovered strength, they set off again.

They passed a bridge above a chamber.

The quiet Puppy barked.

Qin Jin instinctively turned his head to look in the direction Puppy was barking at.

There was a landslide along the railroad track’s embankment, submerging the rails.

Li Qiao saw it too, and she said, "Visibility isn’t good here, if a train passes through, could there be an accident?"

Qin Jin, "Possible."

He stopped the car, found a stick, and untied the cloth bag full of snacks; they waited about half an hour until they heard a train whistle.

Qin Jin held the stick high, shaking it to attract the driver’s attention.

The Puppy beside them joined in, loudly barking as a warning.

Li Qiao’s heart jumped to her throat.

Watching the train draw nearer, the two and Puppy quickly left the range of the bridge.

The train stopped about five meters away from the landslide.

Seeing this, Qin Jin and Li Qiao relaxed and comfortably left.

After a while, Li Qiao’s eyes were flashed by something at the side of the road; she closed and reopened her eyes, spotting something shiny in the grass, "Jin, there seems to be a treasure over there."

"What kind of treasure could there be by the roadside?"

"Really."

Li Qiao was adamant, so Qin Jin stopped the car again.

She stepped forward to find nothing but a stone as big as a head on the ground, reflecting specks of light in the sunlight.

Li Qiao was embarrassed, "I saw something shining just now and thought it was treasure. Upon closer inspection, there’s a lot of soil here and few stones, and they’re all dark. This light-colored stone in front of us is very conspicuous—it might be a raw stone, right?"

Qin Jin laughed until he was out of breath, "Could there be raw stones in this place?"

Li Qiao, "Can’t a raw stone be transported from another place and dropped here? This road counts as a transportation hub, right?"

Qin Jin twitched, transporting raw stones? That made him imagine things.

He pushed the stone with his foot, and it rolled down the slope, disappearing into the river below.

"That’s it, the raw stone is gone," Li Qiao said.

Trying not to laugh, Qin Jin was about to leave when he spotted a hint of red where the stone had been; Puppy came close to sniff.

Qin Jin then picked up a twig to dig.

Li Qiao, "What are you doing? If there’s red cloth under the stone, it could be someone’s cremains," is how they portray it in movies with female ghost protagonists.

"Don’t scare me." Qin Jin had a hunch it was a treasure; every time he uncovered something valuable, his heart raced with excitement.

Right now, he was thrilled.

He prodded the soil with a twig for a while, then reached out and pulled up on the red cloth.

The damp, muddy cloth was pulled out, revealing a fist-sized round jar mouth.

Inside, there was water, but something golden was peeking out.

Was it gold?

With his wife by his side, fortune was unstoppable.

He wondered if doing business with her would mean sure profits.

Li Qiao’s view was blocked by Qin Jin’s head, and she couldn’t see what was in the jar; she could only see the rim of the jar, her heart pounding, "Jin, did you dig up a cremation urn? Let’s go, I’m scared!"

"Don’t be afraid, if a ghost jumps out, I’ll punch it right back," Qin Jin continued to dig with the twig until the jar’s mouth revealed a thickness as wide as a finger, then gripped the edge of the jar to lift it out.

Pour out the things inside.

Three little yellow fish and silver dollars too big to be held with both hands spread out.

There are also five silver leaves made with exquisite craftsmanship.

We’re rich, we’re rich.

Qin Jin’s eyes were full of greed; he looked around before stuffing everything into the jar and jumping down to the riverbank to wash it all.

Li Qiao was dumbfounded.

A stroll outside and you find a jar full of gold and silver treasures?

Almost twenty years of living, and for the previous eighteen, why hadn’t such fortune come my way?

Or is it that fortune only flourished when with Qin Jin?

Her heart was racing once again.

Once she had recovered her composure, she kept watch and after a while said, "Jin, someone’s coming this way."

Qin Jin hurriedly stuffed the freshly washed treasures back into the jar; right now, he had no interest in playing, only wanting to take these treasures home, clean them thoroughly, and turn them into cash.

But no, no.

Just having money wasn’t enough; he needed the ability to keep his wealth.

After calming down, he decided to first enjoy the spring outing with Li Qiao, work tomorrow as usual, and focus on getting his driver’s license and mastering another language.

Li Qiao took out a blanket for them to sit on, and Qin Jin wrapped the jar in it.

Qin Jin tore a corner of the blanket to tie the jar’s mouth, then hung the net containing the jar on the bicycle’s handlebar: "The better the stuff, the less it should be hidden. Carrying it like this, others will think it’s just pickles inside."

Li Qiao pursed her lips in a smile.

Finding treasure certainly lifts the spirit.

Arriving at their destination, they were greeted by a sea of peach blossoms, an even more exhilarating sight.

"This place is really beautiful, if I’d known, I should have rented a camera to take pictures for us," Qin Jin said.

Li Qiao: "I brought brushes and a sketchbook, I can draw it."

The two of them, along with Puppy, wandered around and found a spot with a good view, then spread out the blanket and sat down.

Li Qiao opened her brush and started to draw.

Qin Jin sat by her side, watching silently. At first, it was casual, but he couldn’t pinpoint at what stage her painting suddenly took shape.

Had she studied painting for a long time?

How nice it would be if she told him about her past?

He thought quietly to himself, then lay on his back, hands beneath his head.

"As a child, I never felt the sky was so blue, or the scenery so beautiful," he said.

Li Qiao: "When you’re in a good mood, everything you see is beautiful."

"Hahaha, every time I take you out, we find money; today we even did a great deed on the side. Don’t you think you bring me good luck?" If his life turned out as Li Jinhua said, becoming successful, it would definitely be thanks to the encouragement from the person before him.

The business failure had dealt a heavy blow to him.

He had envisioned that after completing their last deal, he could peacefully study with her until they could openly do business again, and then use their saved capital to buy out someone else’s factory.

But things didn’t go as wished.

Today, however, he was completely healed by the gold and silver treasures.

A misfortune may be a blessing in disguise.

"Really?" Li Qiao said: "I think it’s you who brings good luck to me."

Qin Jin laughed heartily: "Hungry? I’ll get you something to eat."

Li Qiao: "Not hungry."

From the side, Puppy barked.

Qin Jin: "You’ll have to hold off if you’re hungry."

Puppy whined pitifully.

Li Qiao laughed and said, "It understands you, give it a bone to gnaw."

"Alright then," Qin Jin agreed and picked out a bone from a paper bag full of bones, throwing it far away for Puppy to fetch.

After Li Qiao finished drawing, she held the sketch up for Qin Jin to see.

Qin Jin fixed his gaze on it and saw it was his current posture; he couldn’t help but smile, "It’s nice, but it would be even nicer if you were drawn into my embrace."

Li Qiao: "I’d rather not." What if someone stumbled upon it one day, how embarrassing?
