Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 144: His Cabbage Was Stolen, and He Just Wants to Cry!

"You know, I’ve already gotten rid of all the old items I bought in an underhanded manner. Plus, in Beijing’s black market, they always inform us about when it’s safe for doing business. You can trust me, brother; I’d never be foolish enough to risk getting caught just to make money," Su Xiaoxiao said, trying to please him with a smile.

Su Hongchen let out a displeased snort, then pointed to the two bags of gold, saying, "Now that you’re making money, do you even have a place to use all of this? And do you really think you can carry so much gold when private individuals are not allowed to possess it? You’re aware it must be properly declared and sold to the bank, right?"

"We won’t spend the gold for now. I’ll find a safe place to hide it. As for the journey, when we came here, we weren’t checked, and we won’t be on our way back either," Jiang Yexun answered, beating Su Xiaoxiao to it. He appeared somewhat displeased with Su Hongchen’s harsh tone.

"Keeping it hidden is fine. Once you run out of money, you can sell some. However, can you both resist the temptation of spending all this money on luxuries? How will you explain it later at the production team?” Su Hongchen continued to ask.

"I’ve been hunting for eleven years, and I sell wild game to the supply and marketing cooperative every week. It’s all completely legitimate. Our family’s money is separated into different accounts. Even if Xiaoxiao spends more, there’s still a transparent record," Jiang Yexun explained.

Su Hongchen seemed satisfied for a moment.

"Aren’t you afraid others will say your partner is a gigolo?" Su Hongchen glared at her, slightly irritated.

"Are you?" Su Xiaoxiao turned to Jiang Yexun.

Jiang Yexun responded casually, "Why care about what people say? As long as you’re doing well, let them talk."

Rumors that can’t cause any real harm, are they more important than his little educated youth?

Seeing Jiang Yexun’s attitude, Su Hongchen was secretly content.

"Alright, if you both don’t mind, then I have nothing to say. By the way, regarding the reimbursement for those herbs, it’s already been approved. The money will be sent in the next few days. It’s over 25,000 from there, plus the 30,000 here, it’s almost 60,000 in total. You’ll be able to live comfortably from now on."

They say poverty is the root of all troubles, but now they had too much money on their hands. Su Hongchen knew his little sister was quite pampered; he understood her better than anyone.

This Jiang Yexun didn’t seem to have any means to deal with her. In the future, he should be grateful if he didn’t let her live too luxuriously.

"Hehe... Brother, don’t worry. We won’t make ourselves suffer," Su Xiaoxiao grinned, her smile radiant and adorable. But the more she acted this way, the less at ease Su Hongchen felt.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Yexun. "You should discipline her a bit. Don’t indulge her too much. She’s delicate and whimsical. You’ll have a hard time when the time comes."

"I have no desire to discipline her, nor do I want to," Jiang Yexun responded with a cold and resolute attitude. The look he cast toward Su Hongchen held a touch of unfriendliness.

"You raised her into this kind of personality, which I quite like. Why should you be able to raise her to be pampered, do whatever she wants, and when she’s with me, she needs to be mature, well-behaved, and know how to handle herself? I married Xiaoxiao to give her a better life, not to be her teacher," Su Hongchen said.

Su Hongchen furrowed his brow; the way she phrased it seemed a bit strange to him. But according to Jiang Yexun’s implication, it made sense. Didn’t he always want to find a man who could pamper his sister like their family did?

"Alright, you’ve made some valid points. Do as you please," Su Hongchen said, no longer interested in arguing with Jiang Yexun.

Jiang Yexun prepared some fruit for the siblings and then went downstairs to prepare a medicinal meal.

Su Hongchen watched as Su Xiaoxiao gave him two palm-sized bags of medicine, and the quantity made him frown tightly. Chinese medicine was not as easy to take as Western medicine, and the medicinal meal probably wouldn’t be any better.

"Will we be able to eat the medicinal meal he makes?" Su Hongchen asked, wrinkling his nose, showing reluctance.

Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head, her almond-shaped eyes round and innocent as she looked at him.

"Brother, haven’t you already tried Brother Yexun’s cooking? He’s extremely talented in this area. I’ve had his medicinal meals in Beijing, and they taste excellent."

Su Hongchen huffed, amused, "You ungrateful little rascal. I’ve made so much delicious food for you at home, and now you’re suddenly leaning toward Yexun, calling him ’Brother Yexun,’ and saying good things about him."

"Brother, you and Brother Yexun are different. One is family, and the other is my boyfriend. Besides, I have two arms. I can lean one toward you and one toward him," Su Xiaoxiao said, quite reasonably, nearly making Su Hongchen burst into laughter. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Then I’ll break the one that’s not leaning towards me," Su Hongchen teased, trying to frighten Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao pouted and reluctantly said, "Alright, both arms are leaning toward you; is that good enough?"

"Ha, you little trickster." Su Hongchen laughed despite himself.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly added, "But Brother Yexun is so good to me. Since we started dating, he’s been cooking for me three meals a day. Meat buns, meat dishes, fruits, eggs, and he uses high-quality grains. Of course, it’s not like I can’t afford to buy these foods myself, but it’s not as if I know how to prepare them."

"Alright, alright, you don’t need to keep telling me how good he is to you. If I find out he used these things to win you over, I’ll wait for the right moment to attack him," Su Hongchen’s jealousy escalated further.

He felt that he should call his dad over at this moment, and then the two men whose family’s cabbage had been stolen could cry together. What’s so great about being able to cook? When their parents were working while they were kids, didn’t he feed his sister bit by bit? He left all the food that could satisfy her, even when times were tough and they couldn’t get food from the cooperative or grocery store. What brother or husband wouldn’t do this?

"Alright, alright, we’ll beat him up. If you don’t like him, then beat him up. If I don’t like him, you beat him up," Su Xiaoxiao said with her arms around Su Hongchen’s arm, her face full of a playful smile.

Su Hongchen clearly saw that she was just playing around, but it still made him happy.

But Su Hongchen wasn’t just talking nonsense. After they finished the pretty good medicinal meal, they rested for a bit, and he patted Jiang Yexun, who was stuck to his sister.

"Let’s go outside and see how you perform."

Casually tossing out this remark, Su Hongchen turned and walked outside.
