When villagers say your bells are ringing means that you payed them. The symbol for a bell is a coin with a star on it or a bag with a star on it. Glowing spots in the ground will have bells. Dig it up with a flimsy shovel, shovel, or gold shovel. You can put up to 10000 bells in the glowing hole, the more bells you put, the more bells the tree will have, but only up to 10000.
