Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 259: Is Jiang Yexun a Squirrel?

"What about your mother?" Su Hongchen asked further. Although they had briefly discussed these matters at the Dai City hospital, they weren’t speaking in front of elders, so there was no telling if Jiang Yexun was exaggerating.

This was one of the reasons Su Hongchen had come specifically.

"If I leave here, my mother will naturally follow. Once there’s definite news about the abolishment of the class system, my mother will immediately divorce my father. I have a friend in Beijing who will keep a close eye on these developments," Jiang Yexun replied, meeting Su Hongchen’s gaze without a hint of guilt.

"The buyer of your Whitening and Moisture Pills?" Su Hongchen was somewhat reassured by Jiang Yexun. Selling a few varieties of products for tens of thousands of yuan in Beijing was no ordinary feat. This person must be capable and influential, with a background that wasn’t simple. Such people might even have more accurate information than him.

"Yes. Besides him, I also have other friends in Beijing," Jiang Yexun added.

Since he was speaking to his future brother-in-law, he saw no reason to hold back. After all, if he wanted to marry his the little educated youth, he needed to seize every opportunity to make a good impression.

"That’s good. I will also keep an eye on the situation here," Su Hongchen nodded with satisfaction.

Having briefly interacted with Jiang Yexun’s father, Su Hongchen had already determined that the man was morally corrupt. If Jiang Yexun hadn’t mentioned his intention to separate from his father, even if his sister was already married to him with children, Su Hongchen would never have allowed them to be together.

Seeing Su Hongchen’s expression soften, Aunt Guo finally relaxed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Go ahead and take care of things. I’ll start preparing lunch," she said with a smile.

"I’ll help you, Aunt Guo," Su Hongchen immediately offered, moving to assist.

None of them seemed to think there was anything wrong with preparing another meal after Jiang Guoli had invited them for lunch. After all, they had already anticipated the scene wouldn’t be pleasant—one might not even get a chance to taste it before it was overturned.

"No need, no need. It’s just a few home-cooked dishes, not much trouble," Aunt Guo said, waving her hand.

Su Hongchen was about to say more when Jiang Yexun brought over a large sack.

"Brother, since you’re here, let’s pack some things to take back," he said casually.

Su Hongchen’s lips twitched at the casual "brother" but didn’t make a fuss about it. He took the sack from Jiang Yexun.

"What are we packing?" he asked.

He watched as Jiang Yexun moved to a corner by the water tank and lifted it to reveal a cellar underneath.

In rural Northeast China, every household had a cellar. It was typically used to store potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage.

Su Hongchen initially thought they wouldn’t need to bring all this back to Shanghai since the high temperature there would spoil it quickly. But Jiang Yexun was already descending into the cellar.

Reluctantly, Su Hongchen followed him down and was stunned by the sight. The cellar contained not only the usual potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage but also cured fish, cured meat, rabbit, wild chicken, wild duck, sausages, and ten bags of flour, each weighing ten pounds, and ten bags of rice, each weighing fifty pounds.

So, Jiang Yexun had prepared all this?

Su Hongchen was amazed. Though he knew his sister had money and connections, she couldn’t possibly acquire so much stuff. Even if she went to the black market, she wouldn’t be able to outbid others.

It seemed Jiang Yexun had really made a name for himself here.

"Leaving here for Shanghai means starting over. Are you sure you’re willing to part with all this?" Su Hongchen asked.

"These things can be acquired anywhere. A wife is only one," Jiang Yexun replied, showing no sign of regret.

As long as he could marry his little educated youth, he was willing to start from scratch, even if it meant working in the Hong Feng Production Team for the rest of his life.

"Someone like you, if you can establish yourself in Shanghai, will indeed be better off than staying here," Su Hongchen expressed his confidence in Jiang Yexun’s abilities.

Jiang Yexun looked at him and said, "With Xiaoxiao’s talents, anyone, anywhere, would be able to establish themselves quickly."

His straightforwardness left Su Hongchen momentarily stunned.

"I thought you’d be reluctant to mention this?"

Given Jiang Yexun’s dominant demeanor, one would expect him to prefer handling things on his own. But Jiang Yexun simply shrugged and said, "In the chaotic outside world, would you leave the business to Xiaoxiao? Once I establish the connections, it’s mostly up to Xiaoxiao. But I’ll leverage her skills to secure our footing first."

A man who takes advantage of his partner’s talents should be upfront about it. Jiang Yexun had even eaten swan meat, so there was no need to be modest.

"You seem quite proud of it?" Su Hongchen glared at Jiang Yexun.

He hadn’t even started bragging about his sister yet, and this outsider was already jumping ahead.

Jiang Yexun restrained his pride and said seriously, "Xiaoxiao is incredibly capable. I can’t help but be happy to be her partner."

Su Hongchen, hearing this, was so annoyed he almost wanted to beat him up. He didn’t want to act on his irritation, so he changed the topic.

After packing up the cured meats, Su Hongchen noticed Jiang Yexun collecting more and more items and frowned.

"You don’t need to take so much. Our family is small, and we don’t have many relatives. We won’t finish this much. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll come back and can enjoy it then."

"These things don’t keep well. When spring comes, I can get fresh game," Jiang Yexun said with evident distaste.

His little educated youth could easily eat half a pot of fresh rabbit meat, but she barely touched the dried rabbit meat he had prepared.

After packing up the meat, Jiang Yexun turned to the rice and flour.

"Leave the rice and flour. Take some oil. It’s a scarce commodity in Shanghai, even with money and connections," Su Hongchen advised.

Jiang Yexun promptly grabbed a white plastic bucket filled with peanut oil.

As they emerged from the cellar and moved the water tank back, Jiang Yexun somehow managed to produce another sack.

Su Hongchen stared in shock, "How much stuff did you prepare for winter?"
