Chapter 1790: This Is A Family TreasureEditor: Henyee Translations

When they vaguely heard the words "Shao Qingyuan", Bai Yong and the other two stopped in unison and turned to the source of the voice.

In fact, the argument was not loud. If not for the sudden raised tone, they might not have heard it at all.

Bai Yong frowned and asked uncertainly, "Are they talking about Ah Yu?"

Gu Yundong’s ears were sharp. She nodded, her expression slightly serious.

"Over there... I remember it’s the third branch of the Li family, right?" Shao Yin had been to Yongfu Village once, so she was very familiar with the Li family’s location.

"It’s the Li family’s third branch," Gu Yundong replied. "Let’s go over and take a look."

"Let’s go."

The houses of the Li family’s third branch were all close to each other. As Boss Li had directly inherited an old house, the eldest branch’s room was the largest. The second and third branches’ rooms were built to the side.

Gu Yundong took the lead and walked towards the third branch. At this moment, the volume of the argument was lowered, so they could not hear clearly.

It was not until they reached the entrance of the courtyard that a familiar voice sounded in their ears again.

"... Do you think we’re fools? Can a country bumpkin like the old master afford such a good thing? This jade pendant is very valuable at a glance. It’s probably worth more than a hundred taels. Even if the old master has the money, he wouldn’t be willing to buy it. He must have taken it from Shao Qingyuan when he picked him up back then."

If Gu Yundong remembered correctly, the owner of this voice seemed to be called He Xiu?

She was the daughter-in-law of the second branch. Back then, she wanted to marry Zhuangzi, but she did not succeed. In the end, she married Li Zhihu.

Gu Yundong turned her head and looked at Shao Yin. She asked softly, "Mother, when my husband was snatched away, did he have a jade pendant on him?"

Shao Yin frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head. "No."

Shao Qingyuan did have some kind of Lock of Luck. Jade was very easy to break when placed on a child, so she did not dare to give it to him.

"Since it’s not Ah Yu’s, it has nothing to do with us. Let’s go." Bai Yong was not interested in listening to others argue over the family assets. It was very boring.

He turned to leave, but Gu Yundong quickly stopped him. "Grandpa, wait."

"What is it?"

Of course, Gu Yundong was not interested in listening to the argument between the two families. But since they had mentioned Old Li, she wanted to hear it.

Soon, another unfamiliar voice came from the courtyard. "Second Cousin-in-law, what do you mean? Why can’t the old master have this jade pendant? My husband said that this jade pendant was passed down from his ancestors, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the old master bought it. Back then, the Li family’s ancestors were rich people. Isn’t it normal to pass down such a jade pendant?"

He Xiu sneered when she heard that. "An ancestral inheritance? Even if it’s an ancestral inheritance, will the old master pass it to your third branch? Do you think the first and second branches died?"

"Ha, why can’t it be passed down to the third branch? Everyone says that the youngest son and eldest grandson are the old man’s lifeblood. My master is the youngest son. Isn’t it normal for the old man to dote on him?"

"Pfft." He Xiu was furious. She had always been a strong-willed person. How could she be willing to let the third branch have such a good jade pendant? Either everyone would share it equally, or no one would want it. "I’ve only heard that family heirlooms are passed down to the eldest son, but I’ve never heard of them passing down to the youngest son. Aren’t you afraid of others laughing at you?"

"You..."

"Alright, since you said that this is a family heirloom, then everyone in the three families will get a share."
