Chapter 046: His Sincerity
Su Wan dusted off his palms and trotted back to his room.
She took out the sword and mask from under the bed. She wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and they were covered with dust over the days.
The thing was handed to Jiang Yu. He opened the cloth bag and began to stroke his sword, while he put the fang mask aside.
The original novel said that Jiang Yu's appearance was too outstanding, and he always attracted too much attention whenever he went out. He didn't like being watched, so he covered his face with a mask all year round, so that many people misunderstood that he covered his face because he was too ugly.
It is worthy of being a sword. The scabbard is inlaid with several gems, red, blue, and green. The patterns carved on the scabbard are also exquisite.
He suddenly drew out his sword, and the blade made a sharp sound when it was unsheathed, with a cold light and a chilling air.
Su Wan subconsciously took two steps back because of his action. The sword in his hand turned in another direction and stabbed directly at the ruby.
Su Wan saw his intention and quickly stopped him.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yu stopped and turned slightly to explain:
"I live and eat for free at your house, and I have to pay for medicine. Every gem on this scabbard is of top quality. If I take it to a pawnshop, it would be worth several hundred taels of silver."
He actually wanted to pick out the gem and pawn it. If he picked it out, wouldn't the sword be flawed and not perfect?
It's not worth destroying a treasure just to buy some medicine.
"The herbs you're taking don't cost much, so why would you need hundreds of taels of silver?
This sword is so exquisite that if you pick out a gem, it will be imperfect. Now it is not a last resort, why do you want to destroy it?"
This sword was given to him by his grandfather, who designed and crafted it himself. It shows his respect for him in every detail, and the materials used are all top-grade.
Jiang Yu hesitated after hearing what Su Wan said. She was right. If it was destroyed, it would not be perfect and it would also be disrespectful to his maternal ancestors.
"But I have nothing now and can't afford any money at the moment, so I can't make up the promised consultation fee!"
"It's okay. I still have the jade pendant. I even made a profit from using it to pay off my debts!"
Su Wan didn't lose anything anyway, she just didn't want to waste the gift. The gems were well set on it, why did she have to pick them off?
Besides, the more favors the boss owes you, the easier it will be to talk to him in the future.
She originally hated moral kidnapping the most, but now she was planning to use it on others, and she felt quite guilty about it.
There's nothing we can do. She's a vicious female supporting character who ends up in a miserable state. What she has to contend with is the heroine's halo, and she can't afford to offend him!
Jiang Yu pondered for a while, then put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Then I'll trouble Miss Su Wan to keep it for me!"
Jiang Yu tied the bag again and handed the things to her.
This was also his sincerity. She didn't know the value of the sword before, but now she knew. The gems on it alone were worth hundreds of taels each, so the whole sword must be worth thousands of taels.
Anyway, he has given all his wealth to Su Wan, so he is not afraid that he will run away and deny it. This shows his sincerity.
"Can!"
Su Wan understood what he meant and agreed readily.
She continued to hide the sword under the bed, just to be on the safe side, what if there was a thief one day?
At noon, Su Chen and his three brothers came back to have lunch. In the afternoon, they continued to dig potatoes and sweet potatoes, while Su Wan and Jiang Yu continued to peel corn kernels.
Sometime in the afternoon, He Jiaolan came over with some medicinal herbs in her hands. She had just returned from the county.
She happened to be going to get some medicine for her father, who had recently suffered from back pain. Seeing that they were from the same village, Su Mu asked her to bring the herbs back as well.
He Jiaolan was very willing to do so. She was happy to help the Su family.
The things were delivered, and Su Wan invited her in to drink a bowl of tea. She saw a strange face in the yard, who was much more handsome than Su Jing, and she couldn't take her eyes off him for a moment.
This man has his eyes closed, as if he can't see.
"Sister Su Wan, who is this?"
Her curiosity was also aroused. Su Wan said that he was a distant cousin who came to visit relatives and wanted to play with her brothers, but the brothers had been busy with farming recently and had no time to accompany him.
He Jiaolan nodded, but was reluctant to take her eyes off him and had to stare at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu noticed her gaze, and the air pressure around him dropped a little, but his hands kept moving.
“Why does he always keep his eyes closed?”
It is women's nature to gossip, so she immediately whispered in Su Wan's ear.
Su Wan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an indescribable expression, but finally explained:
"My cousin's eyesight isn't very good. He cries when he sees sunlight, so he just closes them!"
He Jiaolan frowned when she heard this and sighed, "What a pity."
This man is indeed extremely handsome, even better looking than Su Mu, but his eyesight is not very good, which is a pity.
Once a man has any flaws, he will never find a good future, and the woman who follows him will only suffer.
He Jiaolan really thinks of herself as a dish. She compares them in her mind. She thinks choosing a man is like buying vegetables. She can choose whether he is good or bad.
She was still dreaming of being an official's wife. Jiang Yu was indeed stunning, but judging from the way he was dressed, he looked poor, so his family must not be rich.
After drinking the water, she stayed to help peel the corn for a while before leaving. During the process, her eyes seemed to be attached to Jiang Yu.
She thought that although he was not a good candidate for her ideal husband, he was still pleasing to the eye!
Su Wan knew all about her little tricks. If she hadn't read the original novel, she would have really thought she was a good person!
She didn't stay long before she went back with her medicine and asked Su Wan when Su Jing would be home.
How would Su Wan know? Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell her.
…
Jiang Yu could see again the next morning. After waking up from a nap, he tried to open his eyes.
The scene in front of me gradually became clear, and what came into view were the rooms of the Su brothers. They were very simple, but very clean.
They had all gone out to work, and Su Wan just came in with water to wash his eyes.
Thinking that he couldn't see it, Su Wan didn't knock on the door and walked in directly.
The girl came against the light, and her face could not be seen clearly. The morning breeze blew her long hair down her back. She had washed her hair early in the morning and let her long black hair fall down her back.
"How's it going? Can you see today? If you can, you won't have to wash your eyes every morning and night anymore!"
The sunlight just happened to shine in and onto his face. Jiang Yu quickly covered his eyes with his hands and closed them.
Su Wan was already standing in front of his bed, bending over and looking at him.
"Open your eyes and show me if they are still dry."
Jiang Yu opened his eyes and saw a smiling face. The face was fair and a little chubby, the almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, the lips were naturally red, and there were two shallow dimples. At just one glance, Jiang Yu was stunned and his breathing stagnated.
