Chapter 213: 213 Turning Gold into Money (First Update)Listenting to Luo Yuzhu’s words, Ma Donghua leaned her head closer, "Yuzhu, you are Xiaofeng’s biological mother nonetheless. Although you haven’t raised her since she was little, it was not your fault. You are her biological mother, and now that she has so much money, whether she sells or keeps it, it’s your duty to oversee her, isn’t it?" Luo Yuzhu naturally understood Ma Donghua’s implication: "You specifically came to tell me this, definitely not just to let me know that Xiaofeng has money." "Yuzhu, we were sisters-in-law in the past, and you know my family’s situation well—two sons, both of whom study well and might even go off to university in the future. Guisheng and I are just two farmers with no way to make extra money. We told you this news, obviously with strings attached. If you receive anything from Xiaofeng, you should share half with us." She had traveled all this way to tell Luo Yuzhu, and why? It was simply to get a share of the belongings from her. Luo Yuzhu chuckled: "Donghua, to be honest with you, there’s no use telling me this. Xiaofeng is not my daughter. I clarified this with her a long time ago, I now have no relationship with her, and I can’t control her life." Lin Jianguo had kept himself from being overly involved with Xiaofeng recently. Laying low was best; stirring up trouble was the last thing he needed, as it could jeopardize his job, which would be a big deal. Ma Donghua found it hard to accept, turning to look at her husband. What did Luo Yuzhu mean by this? She just wanted to live peacefully as Mrs. Lin, even ignoring the fact that Xiaofeng had come into a fortune. In Su Guisheng’s view, it was the same: "If you think little of those belongings, so be it. After all, you are Mrs. Lin now. Your perspective is just not the same as ours." Luo Yuzhu knew they had misunderstood, but she really didn’t want to bring up Xiaofeng anymore. Recently, Xiaofeng had caused too much trouble, even dragging Yueyue and Jianguo into her affairs. However, there was a piece of news she could give to Mr. and Mrs. Su Guisheng: "Xiaofeng is really not my daughter. My daughter died when she was one month old. I found Xiaofeng abandoned at the hospital entrance. If it hadn’t been so, why would I have divorced Guaizi so decisively?" Ma Donghua’s mouth fell open, her voice raised a notch: "Are you saying Xiaofeng is not my elder brother’s blood, not from our old Su family’s lineage?" Luo Yuzhu nodded, "Exactly." Su Guisheng, hearing this, stood up impulsively: "Damn that Su Xiaofeng, it turns out she’s not my elder brother’s blood." "Not the elder brother’s blood, yet she dares to strut around in front of us. I think she wants us to drive her out of the village." If they hadn’t gone to Luo Yuzhu, who would have known Xiaofeng wasn’t my elder brother’s biological daughter? ... Xiaofeng walked out with a bag, and the villagers who saw her assumed she was going to sell some items from yesterday. "Guaizi, your family is going to strike it rich this time." "Yeah, once these items are sold, your family will really have money." Along the way, several villagers came out to greet Xiaofeng and her group, envy in their eyes. Yet, what they were thinking was, if they had known Su Dada had that much stuff, they would have interacted more with Su Dada regularly. Man’s plans are inferior to those made by heaven. Su Dada ended up leaving his wealth to such a girl like Xiaofeng, who really was fortunate. "The whole family is going to the city, huh?" Sixth Uncle grinned as he watched Xiaofeng’s family approach, smiling amiably. He Ximei responded with a smile, "Yes, we have to trouble Dr. Ye to give us a ride again." "He’s free all day long, it’s no trouble, just feed him, and he’ll be happy." Not hanging around at home suits him better. "How much can a meal cost? Later, I’ll have Guaizi give Dr. Ye a big red envelope. Dr. Ye has really taken a lot of trouble for us lately. Without Dr. Ye’s enthusiasm, it would have truly been inconvenient for Xiaofeng with her condition." Even if Dr. Ye is eager to help, they cannot show no appreciation at all. Sixth Uncle waved his hand: "Hey, it’s nothing." It’s rare for someone to be willing to drive; what else could he say? It was always a good thing. Not just anyone could get him to drive; his grandson was not an easy person. Once in the car, Xiaofeng asked Ye Cheng, "Do you know anyone who buys back gold?" "What, you want to exchange it?" "Yes, an old man left me a dowry, including a gold teapot. I was thinking, instead of keeping a gold teapot at home, it would be more secure to keep a savings book." Actually, she wanted to tell others that the gold teapot had already been sold, so no one needed to covet it anymore. Ye Cheng was somewhat surprised by her words, "Your family used to be landlords?" A gold teapot seemed characteristic of a landlord’s family. "Our family a landlord? We were poor peasants. It’s Su Dada from our village—you might have heard of him? He fought on the battlefield and killed enemies. His family was originally of the landlord class, but he joined the army later. After retiring, he returned to the village to live out his years; he didn’t take up any positions assigned by the state." Guaizi explained. Ye Cheng had settled in Shili Village after Su Dada had already died, but he had heard some stories about him. "If you want to convert it into cash, I know a place that buys gold directly." Ye Cheng thought of someone, "I can introduce you to a guy." "Great." Xiaofeng nodded. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing that Xiaofeng intended to sell the gold teapot, He Ximei and Guaizi exchanged glances, neither saying a word. The person Ye Cheng spoke of wasn’t in the county, but in the city. "Just go in yourself; we’ll wait for you outside," Ye Cheng led her to a certain jewelry store and told Xiaofeng to go in by herself. "Yes, just go in; we’ll wait outside for you," He Ximei signaled Xiaofeng to proceed on her own. "Hello, I am looking for Mr. Huang Qiuping," Xiaofeng entered the jewelry store and directly asked for someone by name. "Mr. Huang is on the second floor, please follow me," the sales associate glanced at Xiaofeng, who could directly pronounce Mr. Huang’s name, presumably knowing him. "Mr. Huang, hello, my surname is Su. I heard Mr. Huang pays a high price for gold, so I came to check it out." "Yes, yes," Huang Qiuping had just been wondering how she had come over but immediately stood up upon hearing she wanted to exchange gold, "Did you bring the items? Let me take a look." Xiaofeng was prepared and took out three pieces of gold weighing around two hundred grams each: "Mr. Huang, here are the items." Huang Qiusheng was somewhat surprised she could bring out so much at once, and it was the unprocessed kind. He took a magnifying glass to inspect and test them, confirming they were real gold, "Are you sure you want to sell?" Xiaofeng nodded her head: "Yes, sell them, I’ll feel more secure with some money in hand." ... Upon leaving the jewelry store, Xiaofeng carried a bag of money in her hand. Ye Cheng watched her, a twitch forming at the corner of his mouth. "Going to the bank?" Ye Cheng joked. "Yes, definitely going," Xiaofeng didn’t mind, and she took out five thousand yuan for He Ximei, "Auntie, this five thousand is to repay you, and this five thousand is for my dad. Please take it." Last time Liao Xianghe’s mother had surgery, she had borrowed some money from He Ximei, now she had just the amount to repay. Her dad was also a man of loyalty, having guarded their wealth without touching it; he was a good person. He Ximei held the money, looking at Guaizi unsure whether to accept it or not. "Since the child has handed it to us, we should accept it," Guaizi didn’t comment much on Xiaofeng’s gesture. Nobody expected that Xiaofeng would straight go and buy a truck, a small car was too expensive, Xiaofeng couldn’t afford it right away; a truck was an immediate need. It could be used to haul goods, and if she wanted, she could drive it herself. After paying the money and leaving the address, the seller agreed to deliver the truck to Xiaofeng’s factory the next day. All in all, it was just half a day’s affair. In half a day, Xiaofeng had bought a truck and brought it back. ... When Guaizi’s family of three got home, Su Guisheng and his wife had been waiting at the door. Seeing Guaizi return, Su Guisheng sneered, "Big brother, I only now realize Xiaofeng is not your biological daughter. You actually took someone else’s burden and treated it like a treasure." "Who are you calling a burden?" Guaizi’s voice suddenly turned stern upon hearing Guisheng’s words. "Oh, big brother, who else but your precious daughter Xiaofeng. A woman from our household will take the Su Family’s possessions when she marries, isn’t that a burden?" "Big brother, our Su Family raised her all this time, if Xiaofeng knew gratitude, she would know what to do. Since our Su Family raised her, she should return everything she holds to our Su Family, that would be worthy of our name." If she wasn’t biological, all this would be simpler. If she wasn’t biological, Xiaofeng certainly couldn’t take those things with her when marrying out; not just taking them in marriage, she shouldn’t be able to take them at all. She was raised by the Su Family, her possessions naturally belonged to the Su Family, one must recognize the debt of gratitude; the Su Family has shown her great kindness, she must repay it. "I say Donghua, your face is all beaten up like this, aren’t you giving up yet?" Su Family was really persistent, "Today Xiaofeng sold all her things and then bought a truck back." "Where is Xiaofeng now? Have her come back, by what right did she sell? She owes the Su Family an explanation," Ma Donghua felt dizzy upon hearing about the sale. Those were the Su Family’s things, Xiaofeng had no right to sell them.
