Su Xingran left the main hall and returned to her room. She understood the meaning behind her master's nod earlier. Her master had told her that the Xiao family was a military and political family, that her grandfather was a founding general, and that his siblings were also in the military or government.
The older generation of the Xiao family has retired, but they have many descendants, most of whom are in the military or government. The fact that such a family could remain standing and safe during this special period is because they have the power to deter others from daring to mess with them.
Grandpa Xiao's words were essentially a promise to her that she could ask him and the Xiao family for help in the future. Since Grandpa Xiao was so kind, she should reciprocate.
Su Xingran took out several small boxes and bottles of medicinal powder from her spatial storage. Other things were of little use to a family like theirs, but these pills and powders were just right.
Besides, Su Xingran herself was a student, and she didn't know what else to give as a gift. These things had all been approved by her master. Su Xingran had the recipes for these pills and powders, which she made at home using medicinal herbs from her spatial storage and kept there for future use.
Su Xingran took the prepared gifts and left the room, returning to the main hall. Several men were chatting there, and Aunt Huang was also sitting with the two sisters-in-law from the Xiao family. Aunt Huang had come to the Huang family when she was young, and Huang Zhenhua and Gu Qingxiao treated her like a younger sister. Therefore, everyone who had dealings with the Huang family knew this; no one considered Aunt Huang merely a housekeeper.
When the people in the main hall saw Su Xingran return, they all stopped chatting, knowing she had come back with something. Su Xingran walked up to Xiao Zhanguo with the items. "Grandpa Xiao, here are three life-saving pills. Taking one can alleviate the danger if you encounter a life-threatening situation. They are the same ones I gave you when I saved you the other day. There is also a bottle of hemostatic powder. My master and I have verified that it is very effective at stopping bleeding. This is a gift for you, of course, I hope you won't need it."
Upon hearing that it was the pills he had been given that day, along with the hemostatic powder that Zhenhua had verified, Xiao Zhanguo quickly reached out to take them. "Grandpa Xiao likes Xingran's thoughtfulness. Grandpa Xiao thanks you for your kindness. Grandpa Xiao accepts the gift."
Su Xingran gave the two Xiao brothers the same gifts as Xiao Zhanguo, but gave different gifts to the Xiao sisters-in-law. She gave the sisters-in-law pills to nourish their complexion and replenish their blood and energy. As for Xiao Luxuan, who was the same age, Su Xingran gave him pills to strengthen his body.
The Xiao family accepted the gifts and expressed their gratitude to Su Xingran, who truly appreciated them. They trusted Huang Zhenhua implicitly, and although Su Xingran was young, she acted without hesitation when saving lives. Afterwards, the Xiao brothers took Xiao Zhanguo to the military hospital for a checkup and explained the situation to the doctors. The doctors said it was fortunate that the treatment was timely, otherwise he might not have survived.
Xiao Zhanguo and the others recounted to the doctor the entire process of Xiao Luxuan witnessing Su Xingran saving the person. The doctors all gave a thumbs up; it was truly rare to see such a young girl use such a method, especially so correctly, to pull someone back from the brink of death.
Su Xingran had no idea what the Xiao family was thinking; she was just doing what she was supposed to do. She wouldn't try to curry favor with the Xiao family because of their prominent status, nor would she take credit for saving Grandpa Xiao. Su Xingran felt that it was best to treat things with a normal attitude.
The Xiao family stayed at the Huang family's house for about two hours before taking their leave. Actually, Xiao Bolin had some questions for Su Xingran. When he was investigating Xiao Xue's information at Peking University, he learned that Su Xingran and Xiao Xue were from the same town.
Xiao Bolin wanted to ask about Xiao Xue's biological father. He hadn't received a reply yet after finding information about Xiao Xue's family. He only knew that Xiao Xue's father was named Xiao Dingyu, a workshop director at a textile factory, who was currently being promoted to deputy factory director. Her mother was named Li Mei, an employee of the street office.
Thinking it might be presumptuous, Xiao Bolin abandoned the idea of asking Su Xingran. He decided to wait for the information to be sent back to confirm before personally making a trip to Northeast China.
Su Xingran was unaware that Xiao Bolin wanted to ask her for information, and thankfully he didn't bring it up, otherwise Su Xingran would have felt awkward. After all, Uncle Xiao didn't return to the Xiao family home even when he came to Beijing, which suggested there was something going on.
