MTL - Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter-Chapter 20 open clam shell
"It's getting late, go home quickly, my daughter-in-law must have cooked dinner and is waiting for you."
The old village head listened pleasingly, and called the chrysanthemum with a wrinkled smile.
"Hey, I'll be back now."
Su Hu was happy, and said goodbye to the village chief, walking quickly, impatient to share the good news with his family.

"His father is back."
Li Xiu'e made dinner, fanned herself, and waited at the gate for her husband and children to come home from school. Watching the familiar figure getting closer and closer from a distance, he pushed open the fence door and welcomed him into the hospital.
"Daughter-in-law, our sister Qiao's going to school in the county has been settled."
Su Hu unloaded his back basket, put it in the yard, and saw the clam in the big water tank at a glance. He just said a few words, and was stunned for a moment: "My God, where did the clam come from? It's so big! "
"Sister Yu fished it from the bottom of the river."
Li Xiu'e heard half a sentence, but before she could express her joy, she saw him staring at the mussel in a daze, and couldn't help crying or laughing.
"Father, there might be pearls in the mussels, be careful when you pry them, don't break the pearls."
Su Qingluo woke up, and when she heard the noise, she leaned out half of her body from the window, and looked into the yard with her chin on her hand while smiling.
"Sister Yu, did you really get this?"
Su Hu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his face was a bit strange: "Father has never seen such a big river clam in his life, could it be that he has become a spirit?"
"You, what nonsense!"
Li Xiu'e gave him an angry look: "Be careful of scaring the child."
The theory of spirits and monsters has always been widely circulated among the people. Some villagers believe it deeply. When encountering unexplainable mysteries, they like to talk about spirits and monsters. The more they talk, the more evil they become.
Not to mention that Su Hu had never seen a mussel the size of a washbasin, nor had his father, his grandfather, or his grandfather's grandfather.
The first time he saw such a big clam, for some reason, he subconsciously thought of spirits.
"Mother, it's okay, I'm not that timid."
With a nimble little body, Su Qing sprinted out of the room and came to the big water tank.
The playful little girl looked at the clam that had sunk to the bottom of the tank, pulled her eyelids and made a face, and frightened it with a cute little milk voice.
"My father said that you have become a spirit. If you can really understand human speech, you can open the clam shell and spit out the pearls. If you dare to be disobedient, break your clam shell and make soup."
"Gululu."
A string of bubbles rose from the bottom of the tank, and the mussel seemed to shake slightly, so fast it was almost invisible.
"I'll count to three. If you don't take the initiative to open the shell, I'll let dad smash it with a hammer."
Su Qingluo's bright eyes flashed cunningly, and his snow-white and pink hands reached out to the surface of the water, fingers one by one.
"one two three."
"Gululu."
A long string of air bubbles rose from the bottom of the tank, and the mussels shook violently, as if shivering from fright.
"Oh my god, his father, could it be that you hit the mark, he really became a genius."
Li Xiu'e's hairs started to stand up, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sister Yu, what should I do?"
Su Hu's scalp was also numb, and he habitually looked at his daughter.
In his knowledge of the past five years, his daughter is a lucky baby blessed by the heavens, and what she said is absolutely right.
"Give you one last chance."
Su Qingluo didn't care about the panic of the two couples, a golden light flashed between her eyebrows, and an invisible coercion escaped into the bottom of the water, covering the huge clam shell: "Be obedient and let you go home."
"Gululu."
Under the invisible coercion, the river mussel had nowhere to hide, and was terrified. The clam shell tremblingly opened on the bottom of the water, revealing dozens of pearls the size of pigeon eggs inside.
