Jiang Shushu ignored his dirty clothes and immediately returned to his room, took out the small iron box from the small space, and then roughly broke the lock on the outside.
Jiang Shushu used a stick to lift the lid of the iron box, stepped back a few steps, waited for 30 seconds, and found nothing unusual. He walked forward and knocked on the iron box with the stick. After confirming that there was no danger, he approached.
Inside the iron box, Jiang Shushu discovered a smaller wooden box. He removed the small, curved lock from the box and used the stick to pry the lid open again. He was greeted by a bright light, a dazzling display of gemstones that nearly blinded him.
I’m rich, I’m rich, I don’t have to worry about anything in this life, no, I don’t have to worry about anything in the next life.
Jiang Shushu went forward and tried to take the wooden box out of the iron box, but failed. Jiang Shushu used some strength to lift it up. He silently estimated in his mind that it weighed about forty or fifty kilograms.
Jiang Shushu knew that the things in the wooden box were not only exquisite gems, but also gold, otherwise it wouldn't be so heavy?
Jiang Shushu counted the items from top to bottom: 12 large gems, 5 jade pendants, eight pendants, three bracelets, and half a box of gold bars, each weighing 250g.
Jiang Shushu touched this and that which he loved.
They are all treasures! If I had owned one of them in my previous life, why would I still work so hard?
Jiang He found the door locked and immediately guessed that it might be Jiang Shushu who came back. "Shushu, are you home?"
When Jiang Shushu heard the shouting, he quickly put the things back into the wooden box, put the wooden box back into the iron box, and then put the iron box back into the small space.
Jiang Shushu responded loudly, "Dad, it's me. Wait, I'll open the door for you right away."
Jiang Shushu quickly changed out of his dirty clothes, took out a new towel, wet it with mineral water, wiped his face and body casually, then changed into clean clothes before walking out of his room.
Jiang Shushu opened the door with a smile, "Mom and Dad are back. I just got home and felt a little tired, so I took a nap. Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Xu Hehua smiled. "Just a few minutes, what's the big deal? We're family, why are we being so polite? Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you something?"
You know what, I drove all the way and dug a big hole. It would have been fine if I hadn't said it, but now that I do, I'm a little hungry.
"I'm really a little hungry, Mom. I brought back some bacon and sausages. Just give me some of what you like. I'll just eat a little."
"good."
"Shushu, please sit down and wait for a moment. I'll go help your mother light the fire."
Xu Hehua opened the bag and saw so many good things. She was happy but also distressed. "Shushu, why did you buy so many things again? We haven't finished the malted milk and milk powder at home. You have to talk to her later and ask her to keep more for herself or save it for her own use in the future."
Jiang He came over to take a look, and he was also distressed and happy. "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely talk to Shushu later and ask her to stop spending so lavishly. Let her save the money and keep it for her own use in the future."
Soon Jiang He brought Jiang Shushu a bowl of noodles with bacon, sausage and vegetables.
"Eat it."
Jiang Shushu took the noodles and said, "Thank you, Dad. It's delicious." Then he started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Jiang He: "Shushu, why are you back so early today? Did you change your working hours?"
"No, a few days ago, I went to the provincial capital with my colleagues and the chef to participate in a cooking competition. We just got back this afternoon. The manager was worried that the three of us would be tired from the car ride, so he let us go home at 5 o'clock. I thought it was still early and I hadn't seen you for several days, so I came back. The bacon and sausages were prizes. We each got two pounds of bacon and one pound of sausages. They tasted very good. You and my mom can keep them and enjoy them slowly."
Jiang He and his wife were surprised: "It's so far!"
"It's not bad. The bus ride only takes six hours, and my colleagues are very caring towards me."
Jiang Shushu paused, looked up at Jiang He and his wife, and said, "I also ran into my brother in the provincial capital."
Then the couple's smiling faces froze immediately, and no one spoke.
Jiang Shushu had no intention of hiding the matter of Jiang Mingli, and told him in detail about his encounter with Jiang Mingli.
"Dad, Mom, I hope you don't blame me for being so self-willed. I was just too angry when I saw Jiang Mingli. Besides, if a man doesn't take on the responsibilities he should, he will never mature."
Jiang Shushu took out the pension agreement from his pocket and handed it to Jiang He. "Dad, keep this. Go to the city post office on the 5th of every month to collect the money. The electric fan, the quilt, and your clothes are difficult to carry on my bike. You can go to the city to pick them up when you are free, or I will bring them back on my next vacation."
Jiang He glanced at Xu Hehua and pushed the retirement agreement back to Jiang Shushu. "Mom and Dad don't blame you? Your brother should take care of us in our old age. You keep this agreement for us."
Jiang Shushu glanced at the distraught Xu Hehua and put the agreement back into his pocket without saying a word.
Xu Hehua suddenly smiled and said happily, "Old man, Mingli used to send us 5 yuan, and now he sends us 10 yuan. He still cares about us."
Jiang Shushu suddenly felt that the noodles were not fragrant. "..." Now you haven't received a penny, is there any need to be so happy? If I hadn't bullied Jiang Mingli, you wouldn't have received a penny. You really don't remember the beating? I just said so much, but it seems that you didn't hear anything. All you heard was your son giving you money? No wonder Jiang He asked to keep the pension agreement himself. Maybe Jiang Mingli would say a few good words when he got home and gave him everything.
In the month that Jiang He picked up Jiang Shushu from get off work, after Jiang Shushu's constant brainwashing, he was no longer so blindly thinking that his children were good in every way. He learned to accept everyone's shortcomings, including his own.
"Okay, don't get so excited. You don't need me to tell you what my son is like. I know everything. He has us in his heart, but that comes after his wife, children, and mother-in-law's family. If Shushu hadn't asked, how could he have thought of us or sent us money? If he cared about us at all, he would have noticed that after sending us money for more than two years, not a penny has reached us."
Xu Hehua became dejected again when she heard this.
"Shushu, go to the city tomorrow and ask for Dad's help. Is the 5 yuan really sent? Or is it fake? Dad wants to know." So that he would know how to treat the eldest brother and his wife.
"Okay, I'll tell you next time I come back." Even if Jiang He didn't call him, Jiang Shushu would go and check. How could he know what the couple was up to without checking?
