Only those who are determined will not be swayed by material desires.

Obviously, Yang Jia and they belong to this kind of person.

Although at the first sight, I was almost blinded by the boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, and involuntarily pounced, grabbing and throwing them around like crazy, causing pearls to roll all over the ground and gems to bloom everywhere.

But as soon as the madness passed, they immediately came to their senses, knew that they had lost their temper, and hurriedly put the scattered jewels back in the box, and they were honest, and no one kept them privately.

It's a rare quality.

"Pick something you like and take it back," I said.

But they found that they looked at each other, and none of them would move first, and then they remembered that Yang Jiao and they had lived in the slums of Eri City before, but if someone gave them wealth, there must be equivalent conditions.

They've probably put the same standard of conduct in the slums of Eri on me, right?

With a slight smile, I said, "These are all guild incomes, and you deserve a share, so don't worry." ”

Hearing me say this, Yang Jiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and with greedy eyes, they scanned every treasure in the wooden box.

After picking for a long time, in the end, everyone took only two pieces.

I was surprised by the result: "Why two?" ”

Yang Jiao was a little embarrassed, and looked at me with pleading eyes: "I'm sorry, Xiaoyi, I don't really need one, I just want to take one more and sell it for money to fund the orphanage that raised us up......"

Behind him, Liu Yu kept his eyes on me as he tucked a smaller gem into his pocket.

Duanmuyu is not as cunning as Liu Yu, the little girl is holding two pearl earrings, looking at her pitifully, lest I will reprimand her.

The other two were also motionless, and the selected treasures were held tightly in the palms of their hands, refusing to let go for a moment.

Looking back from their faces, I smiled wryly, "Did you misunderstand something, I mean—why only pick two pieces each?" You can pick as many as you like. ”

"I want them all!" Liu Yu blurted out, but in exchange for Yang Jia's fierce glare.

Yang Jiao turned his head, and his tone trembled slightly: "Xiao Yi, you are the most generous president I have ever met. ”

I scratched my head and laughed: "Well, I'm embarrassed to be praised by you like this." ”

Although I had already let them go, they could take as many as they wanted, but in the end, Yang Ka and the others decided to take only four pieces each.

I didn't understand a little, so I asked Yang Jiao, "Why don't you want to take it as much as you want?" ”

Yang Jiao said sincerely: "We came out of the slums, any material desires are fatal to us, and if we want to maintain our nature, we can only overcome ourselves as much as possible." ”

I smiled: "No wonder you didn't have equipment and didn't have a high level, but you were still able to move forward, mainly because you had an unyielding heart." ”

"If you can't do that, I don't think you'll ever be a good adventurer."

......

......

As dusk approached, the proprietress and Barbara, Florence and the others came back.

As soon as she entered the house, Barbara's eyes were drawn to a box of shiny treasures.

She screamed excitedly, pounced, began to churn, and soon picked out a small pile of the brightest gems, and carried them back to the room with joy.

Cagalli, who had been sitting on the sofa and doing nothing, got up unhurriedly at this time, pinched out the pearl necklace that had been thrown in the box before, carried it around, and asked as she walked: "Does anyone else want this pearl necklace?" ”

As a result, no one answered.

"Look, I guessed that no one wanted it, that's why I wanted to make it pearl powder, and you always got in the way of me......"

As he spoke, he slapped the pearl necklace with a slap, which made the coffee table tremble, and I was worried: "Take it easy, the coffee table is not as strong as you think." ”

"I'm measured," Cagalli said, slapping the coffee table again.

There was a crisp sound, and a corner of the coffee table was smashed.

I was suddenly embarrassed, and the corners of my eyes trembled: How much effort have you used here? It's tempered glass! Put it on the blue planet to be bulletproof!

"Huh?" Cagalli frowned: "This coffee table is really not strong!" ”

"It's you pushing too hard, okay!" I can't complain.

"I'm obviously not trying to do it!" Cagalli retorted, "Don't believe it, let the weird force girl try!" ”

Hey, I said you just slapped off a corner of the coffee table yourself, how can you be so grandiose into making mistakes for others?

I was about to reprimand Cagalli when I heard a click in my ears, which made my eyelids jump and I looked sideways, oh my God, why is Phoenix so obedient?

I saw the phoenix holding the other corner of the coffee table in his small white hand, and muttered with a natural face: "It's so crisp, it's really not strong at all." ”

I broke down instantly.

A girl who can deflate the highest-grade steel shield with one punch naturally doesn't think that tempered glass is much stronger than fries.

Even if I buy a coffee table made of stainless steel, I guess the phoenix can easily break it into a folding table.

Therefore, the idea of using a phoenix to test whether an object is strong was wrong from the start.

"I doubt it, Cagalli, that you deliberately pulled Phoenix into your camp so that she would be with you!"

Cagalli smiled disdainfully: "I don't care to use such despicable means!" ”

On the side, the Ice and Fire Girl helped: "The elder will be mighty, long live the adult!" Growing up is the most upright! ”

With these two little fans on the side, and in front of everyone, it is definitely inappropriate to reprimand Cagalli, especially the coffee table is not such an important thing, if it is broken, it will be broken, and it will be good to replace it with a new one tomorrow.

Glancing up at Cagalli, she saw that although she looked disdainful, she actually had a pair of soft wattles and ten fingers, which were already twisted together, which was a sign when she was nervous and a little overwhelmed.

It seems that she also realized her mistake.

With a chuckle and a shake of my head, I picked up the pearl necklace, walked to the door, wrapped it in a paper bag, and then slammed it with the handle of my knife to turn a pearl necklace into a bag of silver pearl powder.

Then he handed the paper bag back to Cagalli and advised, "Don't make pearl powder on the coffee table in the future, you know?" ”

Cagalli snorted, took the paper bag, and happily smeared pearl powder on her face.

Soon, the girls in the family all turned white-faced, and for this, more than 20 pearl necklaces in the wooden box were sacrificed heroically.

Time passed quickly, and it was dinner time in a blink of an eye, but Emily still hadn't returned, and I couldn't help but get a little worried.
