Chapter Fifteen: Treasure Under the Bed

  Li Yang's hometown is in Mingyang City, Licheng County, which is only more than 60 kilometers away from the city center. It takes just over an hour to drive there. Li Yang's older brother drove a borrowed small sedan and took their whole family with him.

  On the bus, his mother held Li Yang's arm tightly. Li Yang knew that this accident had frightened both of his parents badly. As the saying goes, "A child far away from home makes a mother worry", and at this moment, Li Yang deeply felt the care and concern emanating from his mother.

  Looking at his mother's appearance, Li Yang's heart was also uncomfortable. After graduation, although the workplace was not far from home, he didn't go back home many times. He got used to living outside and didn't feel as attached to home as before.

  It wasn't until then that Li Yang finally understood, he was also a very selfish person, only considering his own feelings, but neglecting his parents. There isn't a parent in the world who doesn't hope their children can be by their side often.

  Back home, looking at his clean room, Li Yang's eyes suddenly became misty. In the past, every time he came back, he had never noticed it before. No matter whether he was at home or not, his room was always so tidy and spotless.

  "Dad, Mom, I forgot to tell you that this time in Qingdao I actually made some money. After the new year, let's renovate our house, we've lived here for decades! You two should also enjoy a better life and live in a new house!"

  Li Yang quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, turned around and smiled at his parents, saying that his older brother had gone to return a borrowed car, while his sister-in-law went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, mainly also wanting to leave some space for Li Yang and his parents.

  "What's the point of flipping houses? You've earned money, save it for when you get married!"

  The mother smiled, and Li Yang also smiled. This sentence is probably the common language of mothers all over the world. No matter which mother, the first thing that comes to mind is always the happiness of their children.

  "It's enough that I've married a wife, this time I've earned a lot!" Li Yang smiled and walked to his mother's side, pulling her to sit together on the sofa in the living room.

  Talking about the house at home is also a heart disease of Li Yang's parents. Li Yang knows that his parents have not been worried about their two brothers, and when his brother went to college, arranged work, got married and bought a house, it made his parents lose weight all at once. Also, when he himself went to college and worked, they didn't reduce the labor for them either. Over the years, they still live in the bungalow allocated by their unit back then, but fortunately, the house allocated back then is quite big, it's an old-fashioned quadrangle courtyard, plus the yard has more than 300 square meters of space, and there is still room to rebuild a small building.

  "You went to Qingdao for work, and how much more can you earn? A few thousand yuan in subsidies and consolation money is nothing. And you said you'd help the family renovate the house, but it's better if you just save it for yourself!" Father Li Junshan sat down on the sofa across from him, putting his glasses into the glasses case on the table.

  "No, the subsidy is a subsidy, this time I earned it myself, with 15 million, we can even afford a three-story building! Li Yang chuckled and didn't tell his family about making money from gambling stones, he just wanted to give them a surprise."

  "How much? You tell me how much?" Both parents were stunned for a moment, and Father Li Junshan didn't even notice the tea cup he had picked up, staring blankly at Li Yang.

  "One million five hundred thousand, this time in Qingdao I was lucky, bought two blocks of jade and made a profit of that much!" Li Yang said with a pleased smile, seeing the satisfied expressions on his parents' faces.

  "Gambling stones, what are gambling stones?" Li Junshan's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his mother's face changed too. They didn't know what gambling stones were, but the word "gamble" made them feel worried.

  "I was wrong, it's a jade rough stone. We're in the jewelry business and bought two good quality jade rough stones, then resold them for such a big profit!"

  Seeing his parents' expressions, Li Yang knew he had made a slip of the tongue and hastily explained that fortunately, Li Yang was still quite honest in his daily life. His parents were skeptical for a while but didn't ask further questions. However, they still expressed strong doubts about Li Yang being able to earn 1.5 million until Li Yang repeatedly guaranteed it before they somewhat believed him.

  The son earned money, which is always a good thing. Li Yang's parents were both teachers and were considered open-minded people. In the evening, the whole family had a good reunion dinner together. Li Yang's older brother, Li Cheng, was also very happy about Li Yang earning money. When Li Cheng got married early, his parents put all their energy into him, and by the time they wanted to ask about Li Yang, prices and housing costs had risen so much that they were willing but unable.

  Li Cheng also wanted to help his younger brother, but the two of them were both salaried workers with meager incomes. Teachers' salaries weren't high to begin with, and while they could get by, saving money was a struggle. Moreover, they had a three-year-old son to support.

  So Li Cheng always felt that he owed his younger brother, and was genuinely happy for Li Yang's success in making so much money.

  After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms. Li Yang's laptop was still in the company dormitory, and he went to bed early without going online.

  Lying in bed, Li Yang carefully planned the expenditure of 15 million. Now he can control his special ability. As long as he has this special ability, gambling on stones will be invincible, and there's no need to worry about not making money in the future.

  The house needs to be renovated, and Li Yang plans to invest at least one million yuan in the house, not only for construction but also for top-notch decoration. In addition to purchasing indoor fitness equipment suitable for the elderly and central air conditioning, one million is just enough, fortunately, this is a county town, if it were a city, I'm afraid three million would not be enough.

  Also bought a car for each of the big brothers, both of them have driver's licenses, but they never thought about buying a car. Li Yang knew that his brother also liked driving, so two cars would be just right.

  Each car costs more than 2 million, so it would be around 5 million in total. Li Yang's head started to ache as he calculated the cost. He used to think that 15 million was a huge amount of money, but now it seemed like it wouldn't even be enough. This was just a rough estimate, and if anything unexpected happened, they might need even more.

  "It seems I should go to Yunnan earlier!"

  Lying in bed, Li Yang kept wiping his palms. Going to Yunnan was an idea he had after discovering that he could freely control his special ability. Yunnan is close to Myanmar, where there are more jade stones, and many people gamble on their prices rising. Even if Li Yang were to win continuously, it wouldn't be particularly noticeable there.

  His palms gradually became hot, and a three-dimensional image appeared in Li Yang's mind again. The center of the three-dimensional image was still Li Yang, to be precise, his two palm hearts, and then expanded outward from the palm heart for about less than three meters. Everything inside would float in Li Yang's mind, including dust.

  "What's this?"

  Li Yang suddenly sat up straight, his two hands simultaneously reaching down to explore the floor under his bed, where a small, strange box appeared in a place over one meter deep.

  When Li Yang lay on the bed, he could only see one corner of the trunk. As soon as his hand reached down, the entire trunk floated into Li Yang's mind. Li Yang was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the new thing that appeared in his mind.

  This was a small iron box, the surface of which was already covered with rust, but inside it was wrapped in thick oilcloth. In the middle of the oilcloth was a small green thing, and Li Yang was not unfamiliar with this thing. This little thing was a snuff bottle.

  But this was not what surprised Li Yang the most. The reason why Li Yang was stunned was that he recognized the material of this snuff bottle, which was jadeite, and it was absolutely good quality jadeite, definitely not inferior to the high-ice jadeite he had solved.

  This jade snuff bottle is very beautiful, buried underground and has not lost its luster, the emerald green surface with dragon pattern on the body of the bottle, ruby red agate stopper, all show its noble status.

  Li Yang suddenly shook his head, and the three-dimensional image of the jade snuff bottle also disappeared from his mind. Li Yang could control the appearance of this special ability each time, but it only lasted for more than four minutes. After exceeding the time, Li Yang would get a headache and need to rest for a while before continuing to use this ability.

  The disappearance of the screen did not make Li Yang concerned, Li Yang's face was filled with excitement. The value of jade he already knew, and the original stone alone was so expensive. This seemingly exquisite jade snuff bottle must be worth more than the two pieces of jade he had solved combined.

  "Who would have thought that there was such a treasure hidden at home? This time I've definitely struck it rich!"

  Li Yang smiled foolishly, he couldn't wait to run out and tell his parents the good news right now, but reason kept him from rushing out. It was easy to say it out loud, but how could he explain? His special ability was a secret that couldn't be told to anyone.
