Chapter 197. Lingyun City
The commotion caused by unearthing the jade was naturally not something that could be hidden from the busy old lady Hua and Mrs. Qi in the house.
It was just that it was raining outside, and the two didn’t want to go out.
They would see it in the end anyway.
Both father and daughter are action-oriented people. Once they decided, Hua Chengtian and Hua Jin left home in the middle of a rainy night, driving the carriage from Old Man Hua’s place.
Once out of the village, they switched to the off-road vehicle in Hua Jin’s space, creating a large eye lamp-like creature darting through the night.
Two hours later, they arrived in the nearby town on time. They stowed the vehicle in the woods, switched back to a carriage, and had something to eat while waiting for more than half an hour for the city gate to open, as the sky started to lighten up.
After paying a small entry fee, the father and daughter smoothly entered the city.
It was still early, so they weren’t in a rush. They managed to gather some supplies around town. After buying a bunch, they directly went to the biggest jewelry store in town. After changing their clothes and sprucing up a bit to look wealthy, they sold a few pieces of good-quality jade, earning more than three thousand taels of Silver.
Later, they bought several hundred taels worth of grain and various consumables – oil, cloth, candles, lamp oil, etc., and as night fell, the laden father and daughter left.
As for whether their large-scale purchases would arouse suspicion or be reported to the authorities, that was not their concern. No one could find them anyway, and their disguises were quite effective.
