Chapter 449: 449

The old man, Yang, casually glanced over the gifts prepared by Lin Yushan with lackluster interest.

He had lived for so many years, there wasn’t much he hadn’t seen. How many years of wild mountain ginseng had he not seen? What size of lingzhi mushroom hadn’t he come across?

To him, the items Lin Yushan brought, while valuable and precious, were still less significant than the medicinal herb seedlings he had just planted.

Watching as old man Yang’s gaze swept over the rare medicinal materials and supplements that Lin Yushan had purchased, Chu Yanxi prayed in her heart that as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he would just accept the medicinal materials—it would be best if he didn’t take the gold.

Chu Yanxi watched nervously as Yang’s gaze eventually landed on the box containing the gold bars.

Old man Yang stopped.

At this, both Lin Yushan and Chu Yanxi grew tense.

Lin Yushan feared that Yang wouldn’t like these vulgar objects.

Chu Yanxi feared that Yang would fancy these vulgar objects.

Under their wary gaze, old man Yang suddenly laughed and said to Susu, "Little Susu, look, there’s that yellow thing you like!"

"Where, where?" Susu perked up, her bright eyes immediately searching for the target.

Two seconds later, she spotted the intended object—the yellow thing!

"Hahaha..." Old man Yang burst into laughter before saying to Lin Yushan, "Come, come, quickly bring me that yellow thing!"

Seeing old man Yang so happy, Lin Yushan’s hanging heart finally settled, and she quickly had someone bring the gold to Yang.

Contrasting with Lin Yushan’s excitement was Chu Yanxi, whose expression turned sour.

The gold was presented in front of Susu, and her face lit up with joy.

Old man Yang said, "How about I keep it for you to press under the bottom of your trunk?"

"No, it’s for Uncle, not for me."

Although she liked it, she still declined.

"What’s mine is now yours, right? Now I’m giving it to you. We’re friends, and we don’t need to be polite with each other. That’s what you’ve said before."

"That’s true..." Susu thought for a moment before nodding, "Alright then, you give it to me."

Hearing this, old man Yang was overjoyed.

Lin Yushan was also very happy; to her, it didn’t matter whether the gold ended up in old man Yang’s pocket or Susu’s, as long as they were happy, her goal was achieved.

But Chu Yanxi didn’t think the same way at all.

Clenching her teeth, she couldn’t help cursing in her mind: After all that effort, the gold still ended up in Qin Susu’s pocket!

The Qin family was just putting on a show! They talked a good talk! But in reality, it was all about collecting money, just not so overtly!

"Come on, let me move them to your room for you," old man Yang said.

"No need, I’m strong, I can do it," Susu replied, jumping down from Yang’s embrace before reaching for the box filled with gold.

Since the box of gold was being held by a grown man, neither of them dared to let the little girl try to move it.

How could they?

The box of gold bars weighed fifty pounds, plus the solid wood box that was around fifteen pounds—it totaled up to nearly seventy pounds of weight. How could they dare let a little girl handle such a load?

No sane person would make such a foolish move.

"Give it to me!" Susu asked when the man hesitated.

The man was too tall, even on her tiptoes she couldn’t reach it.

So tired.

Even though she ate regularly every day, she still grew so slowly.

She wondered when she would regain her once mighty and formidable appearance.
