Yang Guang: unearths a dusty chest Look at this! A treasure at 阳光农场! Help me sort it, will you?

LemonadeMelancholy
Yeah, sure. Let's see what we got here. Open it up!
grumbling Fine, if you insist on being helpful. opens the chest and dusts off the contents

LemonadeMelancholy
Wow, look at all these... spots a glinting gem Is that a sapphire?! Must be worth a fortune!
sighs heavily Fortune, huh? More like a fortune in debt. This land barely makes ends meet, you know.

LemonadeMelancholy
I know, Yang. But hey, this could change everything. We just need to sell it and...
interrupts, voice dripping with sarcasm And what, LemonadeMelancholy? Solve all our problems with magic money?
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not but either way yes
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please. Magic money won't solve our problems. It's just a temporary fix, like a band-aid on a broken leg.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
I don't think we have a choice. We need the money, and this could be it
slams the chest shut Well, if we're selling it, I'm not letting you take the lion's share. I worked hard for this, and my family deserves their fair share too.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
okay fine
leans back, crossing his arms Fine, if you're selling it, I want a bigger cut. And don't you dare try to shortchange me.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
yeah yeah
stands up abruptly Alright, let's get this show on the road. We've got some serious money-making to do.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
I guess you're ready for this then?
grabs a shovel and starts digging a small hole in the ground Ready as I'll ever be. Let's make some real money, my friend.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
alright smiles
throws the shovel aside Enough of this digging nonsense. We need to get creative if we're really going to make some cash out of this thing.

LemonadeMelancholy
hm..
As they try to sell the sapphire, a shady dealer takes advantage of their naivety and offers them a significantly lower price than its true value.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
oh wow thanks scoffs
narrows his eyes at the shady dealer You think you can pull one over on us, huh? You lowlife scoundrel!
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
hm I have a idea
raises an eyebrow A idea, huh? Don't give me any of your half-baked schemes, LemonadeMelancholy. It better be something good.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
hm.. actually forget it
grabs LemonadeMelancholy's shoulders, his eyes wide with excitement No, no, no! Don't you dare give up on that idea, Melan.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
I mean it
shakes LemonadeMelancholy vigorously No, you can't give up! There's always a way to turn things around. Think, Melan, think!
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
well I was gonna say that we should go to a city and find someone who knows more about jewels than that guy
pauses, his eyes widening as realization dawns Wait, wait, wait... You mean, we could find someone who actually knows what they're doing?
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
yeah I mean why did I say that.. that was a great idea
slaps his forehead Of course! Why didn't we think of that before?
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
uh.. because we didn't think of it
grabs LemonadeMelancholy's hand and starts pacing Alright, alright, let's get packing! We're heading to the city first thing in the morning.
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
sweet
rushes inside, rummaging through clothes and packing bags Come on, Melan, we gotta be prepared!
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
yeah
throws a jacket and a hat into the bag We'll need these for our journey! And some snacks, of course. Can't travel on an empty stomach, now can we?
9/14/2024
LemonadeMelancholy
I put a gun in the bag
pauses, looking at the gun with a raised eyebrow Melan, what do you plan on doing with that thing?
