Chapter 1471: Sharing the same interests, kindred spirits, and common goals with Chen Dong.
Sun Shan opened Chen Dongling's package, which contained only two jewelry boxes and nothing else.
Sister Yun said with great disappointment, "Brother Shan, why didn't Brother Dongling send over some delicacies from Guangnan?"
The chubby girl hurriedly stood up and ran over to Su Shi with her chubby little legs. Her little fat head peeked into the package and saw only two simple wooden boxes. Instantly, she lost all interest.
She ran back to sit next to Su and her chubby little hands gripped the big gold bracelet tightly.
Uncle Sun reached out and scooped up a wooden box.
He pursed his lips and said, "Shanzi, isn't your Brother Chen supposed to be incredibly wealthy? How come he only sent two wooden boxes? Ah, it seems the old saying is true: the richer a person is, the more stingy they are. And the more stingy they are, the richer they become."
He carefully examined the wooden box, then opened it with a sudden burst of force.
Instantly, it emitted streaks of golden light.
Uncle Sun stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape, as he looked at the wooden box in astonishment.
He exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh my, this is gold, gold!"
His face instantly glowed with a rosy light, and he immediately recalled the ancient saying he had just uttered.
He patted Sun Shan on the shoulder and said loudly, "Shanzi, Brother Chen is a true brother. Giving gold is worse than giving a thousand gifts. Ah, rich people are different. The things they give are all very expensive."
Everyone turned to look at the dark gray wooden box, which contained a set of five gold jewelry pieces, gleaming and dazzlingly polished.
Little Fatty was extremely disappointed when she heard there was no good food, but suddenly beams of golden light shot over, making her round eyes even rounder.
He hurriedly ran to Uncle Sun's side again, his chubby little legs swaying, his eyes wide open, and drool was faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.
His mouth was wide open, and his eyes were full of joy as he looked at the gold jewelry.
Mrs. Su was also surprised by the set of glittering gold jewelry, especially the necklace with a small red gemstone.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, Shanzi, this set of jewelry looks like something a little mosquito would wear. Is it a gift for Fat Girl?"
Little Fatty was initially bothered by her grandmother calling her Fatty, but upon hearing that the jewelry was given to her, she instantly forgave Mrs. Su.
She opened her mouth, wanting to reach out her chubby little hand to ask for it, but in that instant, she caught sight of Sister Yun's fierce gaze and quickly withdrew her hand.
These days, Sister Yun not only taught her to read and write, and needlework, but also taught her many rules of conduct befitting a lady from a respectable family.
So, the little chubby girl didn't dare to reach out and ask for it without her parents' permission.
If you really want it, you'll definitely need braised pork with rattan canes.
Sun Bomin asked anxiously, "Shanzi, why did the Chen brothers send you jewelry for no reason? Could it be...?"
Could there be some shady business going on?
Look at that five-piece set in that box, how much did it cost? Why would someone give it away without asking for something in return?
Sun Shan took the five-piece set back from Uncle Sun, then pulled Little Fatty to his side and put the pieces on her one by one.
The chubby girl looked at Sun Shan with sparkling eyes, surrounded by "rainbow bubbles of fatherly love".
In that instant, Little Fatty felt that her father was much better than her mother, and she firmly believed that she would follow her father from now on.
As Sun Shan put jewelry on the little girl, he said, "Father, our Xiaoxiao's birthday is coming soon. This is a gift from Brother Chen to Xiaoxiao."
I looked at the chubby little girl, who was gleaming with gold, and was very satisfied.
He gently patted Xiaoxiao's chubby face and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, do you like the gift Uncle Chen gave you?"
I like it, of course I like it. Although I don't know who this Uncle Chen is, who doesn't love glittering gold jewelry?
The chubby girl nodded eagerly and said happily, "Daddy, Xiaoxiao likes it very much."
He even gave Sun Shan a kiss.
Sun Shan was overjoyed! Even in the sweltering summer heat, he felt refreshed and relaxed.
The chubby girl continued, "Dad, please thank Uncle Chen for me. Xiaoxiao likes it very much."
The chubby girl looked at the gold bracelet on her hand with delight. It was completely different from ordinary gold bracelets because it was inlaid with rubies.
It is similar in style to the large gold bracelet of the Su family, but not as thick as the Su family's.
The chubby little girl ran to Mrs. Su's side, raised her little hand high, and said happily, "Grandma, Xiaoxiao's bracelet is beautiful."
I glanced at Su's again, compared them, and finally thought Su's was better looking.
She said earnestly, "Grandma's bracelet is also beautiful, and Xiaoxiao likes it very much."
Su pursed her lips. The five-piece gold jewelry set was beautiful, but on a little girl like her, hmph, it was completely unsuitable.
If you're going to wear it, a boy should wear it; that's the best look.
He glanced furtively at Sister Yun's big belly and instantly became even more unhappy.
She curled her lip again, letting out a silent sneer: "Hmph, useless. Can't even have a son. Otherwise, this set of jewelry would have been his grandson's."
Yun Jie felt an extremely familiar and intense gaze. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Su Shi and realized that it was indeed her mother-in-law's gaze.
Sister Yun felt a chill run down her spine, but pretended not to see it.
She didn't know what her mother-in-law meant, but she was sure it was ill-intentioned.
Sun Shan then opened another wooden box, inside which was a Qilin necklace.
Hang it around Huming's neck and say gently, "Good son, this is Uncle Chen's birthday gift to you. Do you like it?"
Hu Ming was surprised to receive a gift and asked, "Father, is this really for me?"
Sun Shan said definitively, "Of course I'll give it to you. Your sister has one, so you definitely will."
Tiger Roar's eyes instantly reddened, and tears streamed down his face.
Sun Shan asked anxiously, "What's wrong, silly child?"
Yun Jie hurriedly pulled Hu Ming to her side and asked anxiously, "Good son, why are you crying?"
Hu Ming gently wiped away his tears with his little hands, lowered his head and said, "Father, Mother, I am so happy to receive your birthday presents."
What makes little Hu Ming happy is that, like his sister, he is seen as Sun Shan's child by outsiders.
Although his surname is Yang, he is Sun Shan's son.
Sun Shan chuckled and patted Hu Ming's little head: "You'll receive more and more gifts in the future, so you can't cry every time you receive one."
The chubby girl craned her neck to look at the tiger's gift, which, like herself, was glittering gold.
I like the chubby girl too.
In that instant, he caught sight of Yun Jie'er's fierce, stepmother-like gaze and immediately dared not act rashly.
Su pursed her lips. Hu Ming was really cunning. Of course he was happy to receive so many free gifts.
If it weren't for following Shanzi from her family, I don't know where I'd be herding cattle in some remote mountain village in Yangjia Village.
Looking at the pieces of gold jewelry, Sun Bomin wondered how much they must cost, and his previously calmed heart began to race again.
He asked nervously, "Shanzi, did Brother Chen ask you to do anything? Why is the gift so expensive? It's gold! How many flowers would we have to grow for just one piece?"
Before Sun Shan could speak, Uncle Sun, who was green with envy, spoke first: "Brother, do you think Brother Chen is like you? Just a country bumpkin. He's not only a scholar, but also a wealthy merchant with a huge business. A few pieces of jewelry are just a few meals for him."
"Brother, Brother Chen has his eye on Shanzi and is trying to curry favor with him while Shanzi is still in a high position. Ah, he's a big businessman; he has a keen eye. You, a peasant, just can't understand that."
Sun Shan also thought so.
Of course, the more important reason is that he and Chen Dongling share the same interests, are kindred spirits, and have the same goals.
