Seeing that the hick only responded with that, Isla immediately asked with a sneer, “You really don’t know what original stones are, do you?”
Daniel knew very well what original stones were, but he pretended not to know, shaking his head with a puzzled look, “No idea!”
“Ha!”
Daniel’s answer only earned him another derisive laugh from Isla.
After laughing, she exaggeratedly said, “Wow, hick, you really are a genuine hick! You’re so clueless that you don’t even know what original stones are? That’s just too ignorant!”
Then, to further mock him, Isla continued, “So, hick, do you know what’s inside these original stones?”
“A pile of broken rocks? Since they’re stones, there’s probably just some coal or something in them! You’re not telling me they can produce gold, are you?”
Daniel meant to say this on purpose; he wasn’t wrong either. After all, these were original stones, and they couldn’t produce gold.
However, some of the stones contained jade.
But even if jade were contained within those stones, breaking them to get the jade would simply make it a mineral! So, Daniel’s description of the original stones wasn't wrong.
“Coal? Ha!”
Isla laughed coldly again, then turned to Avery, saying, “Avery, listen to your son-in-law’s ignorance! He actually thinks these original stones can only yield coal? He has no idea that the things taken from these stones could be more precious than gold!"
Daniel jumped in, “Isla, what do you mean? What could be more precious than gold?”
