Xiao Aimin felt somewhat apologetic. "It's also my fault. These past few years, I've been preoccupied with repaying our debts, so I haven't been able to look after you properly."
Su Qiao felt a little embarrassed. "You've already taken good enough care of me. I can't keep coming to trouble you."
Xiao Aimin tapped her on the head. "What do you mean, trouble? We're all family. How could we distinguish between us?"
"From now on, don't hide things like this anymore. If you suffer any grievances, come back and tell us, understand?"
Su Qiao's heart felt warm, and she obediently nodded. "I understand."
"Oh, right, Dad. Actually, we don't need to keep digging new tunnels. Aren't there lots of old mine tunnels in those mountains?
"We only need to go take a look at those mine tunnels and have a sniff. Then we'll know where the gold is."
"Once we find it, we can submit an application and get a private Mining Permit."
"If we're lucky, we may only need some simple equipment. We won't need to buy any large machines at all."
Xiao Aimin was also getting eager at her words. After all, they still owed money outside.
"If that's the case, then of course there's no problem. But, what about you...?"
Su Qiao confidently patted her chest. "Don't worry, I'm completely fine.

Xiao Aimin: "..." After all these years, this was the first time he had ever heard of someone finding gold dust and refusing to take it.
Tian Guihua was equally speechless.
