Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 133: Uncle Zhang Sent Her a Huge Gift

"It’s all fine by me. When do you want me to hand over the prescription, Grandpa Zhang?" If it weren’t for wanting to establish a closer relationship with the Zhang family, Su Xiaoxiao would have already handed over the prescription. She wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of personally collecting the herbs and delivering them to the Zhang family, especially with the three people nearby watching them, ready to find fault at any moment.

"No rush, after I recover, I’ll personally go to ensure you get a reward. Such a significant benefit should not be brushed aside with just a few words by those old guys," Grandpa Zhang said earnestly. He felt that Su Xiaoxiao was not just his lifesaver but also closer to him than his own grandson.

In particular, when he saw the trust and dependence in Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes, Grandpa Zhang couldn’t help but want to plan everything for her. Su Xiaoxiao was obedient and well-behaved, unlike his own granddaughter who had been spoiled and became willful and contradictory.

Peng Huijing, who had been harboring resentment, couldn’t hold back and quietly reminded him, "Dad, didn’t you say that every family member should rely on their own abilities for what they do? We shouldn’t expect you to help."

"What? Are you now telling me to leave them alone?" Grandpa Zhang coldly glared at Peng Huijing.

Peng Huijing felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction welling up inside her, but she didn’t know how to counter his words. She forced a smile and said, "No, I would never dare."

"I don’t believe it." Grandpa Zhang retorted irritably.

Zhang Zhiyuan also looked at Peng Huijing, displeased. He said, "Can Hanyu and Xiyue even compare to Xiaoxiao? If it weren’t for their grandparents, would they be the people they are today? They’re living well, eating well, and dressing warmly, better than 90% of the people in China. They should be content. But Xiaoxiao is my father’s lifesaver, and when her prescription is promoted, she will be the lifesaver of millions of people in China. We should strive to get her more; she deserves it. I’ve been telling you this for years, but it seems like you haven’t taken any of it to heart."

He didn’t hide his disdain for Peng Huijing, and she was left without any dignity.

Su Xiaoxiao, observing the situation, couldn’t resist her gossipy nature flaring up. Unfortunately, after Peng Huijing was scolded, she quickly put on a smile and said, "It’s my fault; I didn’t think it through."

However, Zhang Zhiyuan remained irritated and let out a cold snort. "It’s not that you didn’t think it through; you’re thinking too much."

Peng Huijing didn’t argue further and awkwardly lowered her head, even taking a step back.

Su Xiaoxiao, seeing this, felt a bit sorry but quickly shifted the topic when she heard Grandpa Zhang asking her, “Xiaoxiao, are you going back to Dai City? Which day are you planning to leave? How about having Uncle Zhang come with you two and visit your brother as well?”

"Really? Won’t it be too much trouble for Uncle Zhang?" Su Xiaoxiao asked with some joy. That mastermind, who was willing to eliminate her whole family, most likely still had his people near her brother. He had just hidden very well, and they had not yet discovered them.

If Uncle Zhang was willing to go to Dai City to check on her brother, Su Xiaoxiao believed that this man would think twice about harming her family again.

"Not at all. I’ve already asked about your brother’s situation, and the impact in the military is quite severe. It does require special attention. I’ll go check it out and make a statement," Zhang Zhiyuan mentioned, his expression growing more serious.

"In that case, we’ll be looking forward to it, Uncle Zhang. We plan to return to Dai City the day after tomorrow," Su Xiaoxiao readily accepted without further reluctance.

Zhang Zhiyuan drove them and dropped them off at the guesthouse. Su Xiaoxiao carried the box back to her room and, on impulse, pulled Jiang Yexun into the room.

Recalling the sweet and intimate moments from yesterday when she had pulled him into the room, Jiang Yexun couldn’t help but swallow hard. His body heated up as though it was spontaneously combusting.

This time, however, he didn’t have to wait for a sweet kiss from his little sweetheart. His view was obstructed entirely by the square box in front of him.

"Yexun, what do you think it is that Uncle Zhang gave us?" Su Xiaoxiao’s big, shining eyes were filled with curiosity.

"From the looks of it, it’s likely some old object," Jiang Yexun said, suppressing his disappointment, and earnestly answered his little sweetheart’s question.

Apart from old items being packaged like this, he couldn’t think of anything else that would be so delicately presented.

"Alright, let me see how good Uncle Zhang’s discerning eye is." Su Xiaoxiao placed the box on the table and rubbed her hands together.

When she opened the box, it revealed a red washbasin inside.

"Is this a Song Dynasty Ding kiln red porcelain?!" Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed in astonishment, quickly taking the washbasin out.

It wasn’t a bowl but rather an antique ornamental container that noble ladies used to keep in their rooms in ancient times. However, the pure color of Ding kiln ceramics, with no impurities or cracks, was extremely rare.

Su Xiaoxiao turned the washbasin over, revealing the two characters "Kai Bao" written on the bottom, making her even happier. This item had been bought from an antique shop and included a certificate from the shop.

However, Yan Liben’s paintings had been misidentified by them, so Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t entirely confident in their appraisal skills.

She switched on the desk lamp and carefully examined the washbasin, which had a pure, dignified, and low-profile red color, indicating that it was a royal tribute item. After lying around for a few decades, it would be worth at least seventy to eighty million yuan.

"Brother Yexun, take a look; isn’t this one incredibly beautiful?" Su Xiaoxiao handed the washbasin to Jiang Yexun.

From her attitude and the way she cared about it, Jiang Yexun naturally guessed that this item was likely quite valuable. Therefore, when he took it, he handled it with extra care. He took a close look at the washbasin, aware of Su Xiaoxiao’s hopeful gaze.

"It is, and it will look exceptionally festive at home," Jiang Yexun nodded in agreement. This time, his attitude was much more honest compared to the purple clay cup from the previous incident.

But Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. "We should keep this precious item well, not put it on display. If it gets damaged, I’ll be devastated."

She remembered that in several decades, there would be no more than five pieces of Ding kiln red porcelain circulating globally. If one was destroyed here, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Alright, let’s keep it safely. In the future, when we see foreign exchange tickets for sale, I’ll buy them and leave them for you to pick out the antiques you like at the antique shop," Jiang Yexun suggested.

He had figured out that his little educated youth loved collecting these old items not just for their potential to make money. She genuinely enjoyed gathering rare and valuable treasures.

He wasn’t sure whether the items left behind by his ancestors would be to her liking, and he was eager to reveal all the hidden things to her and let her pick them one by one.

However, he didn’t have as much capability as his little educated youth. So he thought of alternative ways to earn her favor.

"Just take a few notes; it’s hard to come by treasures like this," Su Xiaoxiao quickly intervened in Jiang Yexun’s overly enthusiastic thoughts.

Seeing Jiang Yexun’s eyes showing hints of self-blame and frustration because of her words, Su Xiaoxiao quickly hugged his waist and sweetly reassured him. "I’m not worried about money. The main issue is that finding good items is really challenging. You can see in that antique shop in Beijing, even if their treasures can be sold, they only sell them to those they want to sell to. We’re not close to them, so even getting lucky and finding a good item during dozens of visits is quite rare. That’s why we’d rather check the stalls that sell old items on the black market. The chances of finding treasures there are much higher than going to an antique shop."

Jiang Yexun agreed with Su Xiaoxiao’s logical explanation, so he didn’t dwell on the matter.

"So, we still have one foreign exchange ticket left. Should we go to the antique shop tomorrow, or the Friendship Store?" he asked. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Since they wouldn’t be returning to the Shanghai market this time, they might as well let her use the remaining foreign exchange ticket. He would prepare a new one for the next time he visited his future in-laws.

"Let’s go to the Friendship Store. After coming here, we haven’t had the chance to explore it yet," Su Xiaoxiao suggested.

In reality, she was undoubtedly more fond of antique shops, but the last time, the store manager only provided them with a hidden treasure. If they returned so soon, the manager might think they were too greedy.

"Sure, if you find something you like, I’ll buy it for you." Jiang Yexun’s gaze was as passionate as fire, burning as he looked at his little girl in his arms. Even with two layers of fabric between them, his slender fingers tightly held her slender waist, gently caressing it with relish.
