Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 104: Remind their Parents to Stay Safe

Unfortunately, Jiang Yexun thought that Su Xiaoxiao was feeling unwell due to the two toxins in her body.

"Be good, don’t be afraid. I’ll make sure to get all the medicine soon, so hang in there," he reassured her, his eyes filled with tenderness as he comforted her.

"My body doesn’t seem to be affected at the moment, but as for the wild ginseng, even if we count it as one, fifty-year-old ganoderma lucidum is not much cheaper than wild ginseng. If you don’t have enough money..."

Su Xiaoxiao’s fair face was filled with worry, creased with concern.

"It’s fine. My maternal grandfather kept some antiques hidden. I can sell a few of them," Jiang Yexun said, kissing her forehead that had paled due to blood loss as he continued to soothe her.

"Isn’t selling antiques dirt cheap these days?" Su Xiaoxiao’s pupils widened in astonishment.

"Not entirely," Jiang Yexun explained. "If you don’t sell it right, it’s true that you won’t get a good price on the black market. But Big Gao has his ways, and as long as the items are genuine, they can fetch good prices. The problem is that we can’t always identify the authenticity. Either the items we bring in aren’t from the Ming and Qing dynasties, or the buyers are tricking him and reducing the price by a few hundred years. After experiencing this frustration from both ends for a while, he doesn’t like doing this anymore. But when there are people he’s familiar with, or items with a complete history, he’s still willing to help."

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes brightened with happiness. "I can do it! I’m really good at distinguishing these items."

In her previous life, Jiang Yexun had become the richest person in the country. He had participated in numerous auctions, big and small, in China and abroad. He had hundreds of old collectibles in his possession, with dozens of them being worth millions of dollars.

She followed him and had seen too many precious collectibles in different sizes.

As for how to identify them, she had heard from the experienced appraisers of the antique industry.

She had worried before about what to do after marrying Jiang Yexun. She couldn’t stay at home like a housewife all the time.

Now that she knew that Jiang Yexun had his own collection of antiques and a way to sell them, her thoughts quickly became active.

Jiang Yexun watched the excitement in her eyes and intended to say something, but she spoke first, asking, "Yexun, the sales channel for Big Gao, is it in the Harbor City?"

Jiang Yexun didn’t expect her to know about this but decided not to hide it and nodded in agreement.

Su Xiaoxiao bit her lip and didn’t say anything more. However, she had already started to plan how to pick up some antiques that might become available.

Of course, everything had to be done with their safety as the top priority. They couldn’t get involved in any legal trouble for the sake of money.

She clung tightly to the strong waist of the man, rubbing against him on his chest.

Only when she heard footsteps approaching the door did she reluctantly move away.

Niu Chengchun and Mu Kunlin entered carrying food from the state-run restaurant. And only then did Jiang Yexun assist Su Hongchen out of the restroom, both of them seemed quite upset.

Once Su Hongchen was comfortable on the bed, Jiang Yexun went to wash his hands and then returned to feed his little patient.

As the time was running out, Jiang Yexun hastily took a couple of bites of food and then left the ward.

Su Xiaoxiao gazed at the closed door, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart. But in order not to worry her brother, she quickly adjusted her mood.

At night, the siblings lay in bed chatting, unable to sleep.

"Brother, have you thought about who you might have offended? It’s not anyone in the squad, but maybe from your previous missions? Or perhaps a competitor from the national martial arts competition?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Hongchen directly, her soft voice taking on a serious tone. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Her brother had only been in the army for four years, and although he was just a commander, her family had no connections to the military leadership. He had risen through the ranks fairly based on his three-time championship at the national martial arts competition and his outstanding performance in every mission.

"If not, it’s someone who works against us," Su Hongchen consoled her.

Su Xiaoxiao remained silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Brother, we should remind our parents to be cautious. I’ve already gone to the countryside, and now with these sudden changes, there might be someone targeting them as well. We should make sure they stay safe and avoid being harmed by anyone."

While she hadn’t heard about any incidents involving her parents in her previous life, the people who had wronged her brother might act differently in this lifetime. She didn’t want to take any chances.

"Alright, I’ll call them tomorrow," Su Hongchen agreed, his tone becoming serious.

"But they will definitely worry sick when they hear about this. Maybe we should tell them it’s because you’re on a mission and discovered some people who were in trouble. That they should be careful in both work and daily life," Su Xiaoxiao fabricated a story to ease her parents’ concerns.

She feared that her brother might spill the beans and tell their parents the truth about them both lying in the hospital due to poisoning.

One child having an accident is already distressing enough for parents. Two children at once would be overwhelming.

"Alright, then we’ll follow your plan," Su Hongchen agreed.

However, he soon furrowed his brow tightly and said, "Our family was reported, forcing you to go to the countryside. Maybe it’s also the work of someone behind the scenes."

Su Xiaoxiao was momentarily stunned by his words, clearly not expecting this line of thinking. She hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to say, "It is."

"Hmm?" Su Hongchen made a puzzled sound, as he obviously didn’t anticipate such a positive response from her.

"Do you know who did it?" His face darkened immediately, and he couldn’t hide his anger. If he found out who caused his beloved sister to suffer and her had to marry someone in the local village, he would undoubtedly take action.

Su Xiaoxiao directly replied, "It was Pan Yongsheng."

"Pan Yongsheng? How could it be him? His family has a good relationship with us, and he’s usually polite and reasonable," Su Hongchen was surprised.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but twitch her lips when she heard his words. "Brother, you need to improve your judgment of people."

Su Hongchen was embarrassed by her comment and absentmindedly rubbed his nose. "Their family is somewhat friendly toward ours. But our dad is the factory manager, and mom is the director of the Women’s Federation. Most families in our residential area, except for a few, have a similar attitude towards us with the Pan family."

In fact, some families were even more enthusiastic than the Pan family.

"He wanted to marry me and was afraid that if he came to the countryside, I’d marry someone else in Shanghai, so he wrote a report. Moreover, behind my back, he told everyone that we were engaged. If it weren’t for me falling in love with Yexun and he came over and accused me of being shameless, I wouldn’t know about his schemes and the rumors he spread."

Seizing the opportunity, Su Xiaoxiao immediately turned to her brother in "complain" mode.

Su Hongchen was so furious that veins popped on his forehead. "They sure have some nerve! I always thought they were too poor to send someone to a place like the Northeast, where they would need financial support from their family."

He sneered darkly.

Tomorrow, when he called home, he planned to have a serious talk with his parents about what Pan family had done.

"Alright, brother, don’t be angry. We don’t need to rush into reporting this. The most important thing right now is to ensure our parents’ safety. As long as the Pan family is still alive, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with them," Su Xiaoxiao advised.

Although Su Hongchen was still very angry, he realized that his sister was making sense. He shifted his focus away from the Pan family and looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a playful grin.

"Now, I didn’t ask during the day, but how did my good, obedient little sister suddenly become an expert in traditional Chinese medicine?"
