Lin Jiachu originally wanted to take advantage of the connections behind Su Qinghu, but now that he can't take advantage of this favorable situation, he doesn't want to make enemies.
She was selfish, but not reckless. After a brief thought, she said, "We can not meet, but please don't refuse the gift I give to my child."
Erdan: "I don't want it, my brother doesn't want it either, my younger brother——"
Lin Jiachu was annoyed with him, but tried not to show it. He simply interrupted him and said to Su Qinghu, "Li Tuan'er is my first grandson, and I have a natural affinity for him. So, I hope you can tolerate the gift I give you."
As he spoke, he handed over a square gift box.
Su Qinghu took a look at the gift box. There was no label on it. It must be the outer packaging that he bought and asked someone to make.
Seeing that Su Qinghu didn't take it, Lin Jiachu took a half step to the side, bent down and handed it to Xiaoli Tuan'er, "Here are some ancient Chinese medical books. You can show them to your great-grandmother. They are rare treasures that are not even available in China."
Xiaoli Tuaner opened his mouth slightly and looked at her, but did not say anything.
The ancient medical books she gave me were even thicker than those my uncle gave me...
"These are handwritten copies. I haven't seen the originals, and originals aren't loaned out. I can't guarantee their accuracy. Your great-grandmother and the others will have to make their own judgment." Lin Jiachu handed over some more. "I had someone compare them with the photocopied versions, and I found a few typos, which I've also had corrected. So, there shouldn't be many errors..."
She made a lot of preparations for this trip to the mainland. One or two years after she learned about her daughter Su Qinghu's existence, she chose the important day of the Chinese New Year to visit her.
Just to prepare the gift for Li Tuan'er, she negotiated and contacted many people and spent dozens of gold bars to get it.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiachu's face turned cold, "If——"
If you don't want it, forget it.
The current world situation is unpredictable and the price of gold is rising rapidly. If she takes these ancient medical manuscripts back to Hong Kong and sends them to an auction house for auction, she might be able to make a fortune!
Su Qinghu: "Where did you get the manuscript?"
Without waiting for Lin Jiachu to withdraw his hand, she reached out and took the manuscript.
Even if it was an enemy who brought a precious handwritten copy, or an ancient medical book whose original was not available in the country, she would still invite them for tea and chat with a smile, and she would get it even if it cost money.
It's not just the value of the ancient book, but also because it is the favorite of my aunt and Li Tuaner.
If all the gifts Ms. Lin Jiachu sends to Xiaoli Tuaner in the future are like this, she will definitely not be able to refuse.
"I got it from the Japanese through civilian channels." Lin Jiachu's expression looked a little better when he saw Su Qinghu take the book.
Spending money is secondary. The main thing is to get it and be able to get it back, which is a very difficult process.
Just because she didn't say it doesn't mean it's easy.
Dadan and Erdan looked at Su Qinghu, somewhat understanding but also somewhat confused.
Doesn't she hate it?
Her mother had abandoned her...
Chen Jiali understands and supports his sister Su Qinghu's approach.
Because he had experienced it, he knew how difficult it was to retrieve books and cultural relics looted during the war, even if they were manuscripts.
"Do you have any private channels over there?" Su Qinghu suddenly turned around and asked Chen Jiali.
Chen Jiali shook his head, "I haven't had time to find connections there yet."
Su Qinghu turned around, looked at Ms. Lin Jiachu, and shook the book in his hand. "Can you recommend that channel to me and my brother?"
If you can get some things back as soon as possible, it’s better to do it sooner rather than later.
Lin Jiachu didn't answer but asked, "Can I interact with my child normally? Like Ms. Meng?"
Su Qinghu was not surprised at all when she mentioned her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng.
But she wants the same treatment as Ms. Meng...she is not very willing to do so.
After all, Ms. Meng lives at home three-quarters of the year...
Or should we return it?
As for the private channels, just ask that big brother Chen Jiali. As for owing him a favor, as long as he is patriotic and his heart and position remain unchanged, there is nothing wrong with making things convenient for his industries in the mainland.
She had just started to return the book when she heard Lin Jiachu say, "We meet four times a year, so I accept gifts as normal."
ah?
Meet?
Su Qinghu looked down at Li Tuan'er, "What do you think?"
"Mom, if I go see..." Li Tuan'er pursed her lips, "Will it hurt you?"
He wants to be the person who loves his mother the most and respects her the most.
Su Qinghu: "It won't hurt."
Because at this moment, Ms. Lin Jiachu's identity has changed in her eyes.
She is no longer her mother, but a less-than-pure patriotic businesswoman.
Judging by her actions rather than her intentions, her actions have so far proven beneficial rather than harmful to the country.
So, from a business perspective, I am just a collaborator.
"Then I'd like to see you." Li Tuan'er looked at Lin Jiachu and blinked, "But it's my mom, dad, brother, grandma, grandpa, Duoduo, uncle, and little uncle's birthday, so I can't go see you."
There was no special reaction to the previous sentence.
When Xiaoli Tuaner made her request, everyone was stunned.
None of them thought of this, but Li Tuaner, such a small child, thought of it.
"Li Tuan'er!" Erdan rushed over and hugged her, feeling so touched.
He was still so young, but he had already started thinking about them like this.
Really, there is a kind of happiness that comes from being responded to strongly and running towards each other in both directions.
Erdan held Li Tuan'er and shook her for a while, so that Li Tuan'er held him tightly and didn't dare to let go.
"Okay." Dadan reminded. "Li Tuan'er, we have to get down to business."
Erdan then let the person go.
Lin Jiachu nodded, "Okay,"
Anyway, none of the people he mentioned were people she wanted to interact with now.
The two sides reached a consensus, Li Tuan'er interacted with her normally, and she introduced private channels to her daughter Su Qinghu.
To be clear, Lin Jiachu waited for Su Qinghu to invite her to have New Year's Eve dinner, but in that awkward moment when she didn't get the invitation and didn't want to wait any longer, she turned around and left.
Chen Lie took a look and saw that his wife really had no intention of keeping anyone, so he didn't say anything.
The little girl tugged at Su Qinghu's trouser leg, "Mom, will my great-grandmother come to our house for New Year's Eve dinner today?"
He wants to share these books with his great-grandmother!
Su Qinghu: "Yes. Maybe we can see her when we get home."
Chen Lie picked up Xiao Lituaner and walked side by side with Su Qinghu.
Several children followed behind them, talking and laughing, looking very happy.
Su Qinghu's eyes slid across everyone's face, and finally he retracted his gaze with a smile, raised his chin slightly, looked at the starry night sky, felt the fresh air filling his chest, and made him feel a clarity he had never experienced before.
What she has learned in this life is enough for her to take into account all aspects and still have an independent soul and absolute spiritual freedom.
Prosperous and unyielding, free and unfettered.
