I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 340: Why So Generous?

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Why So Generous?

Suizi took a tricycle and rode home with Wang Cuihua and her mother.

It was summertime, there was no wind, and they got home smoothly.

Suizi deliberately had the tricycle stop at the entrance of the alley, chatted with the neighbours for a while to let everyone see her belly, and then slowly made her way home.

After Suizi’s family left, several neighbours gathered to chat.

"Teacher Xiaochen is such a good person, how pitiful, what is she going to do when the child is born?"

"Exactly, Jingting simply denied the child, it won’t have a father when it’s born..."

The conversation of these old ladies fell into the ears of a man wearing sunglasses, who walked over and asked:

"Excuse me, ladies, are you talking about Chen Hansui, Teacher Xiaochen?"

"Yes, that’s her. Who are you?"

"I’m her colleague, I heard she’s pregnant, so the company sent me to see if she’s given birth yet?"

"Not yet, she’s got a pretty big bump, she should be due soon."

The man showed an expression of regret, counting his fingers in disappointment. What a pity. He had missed two good times, and there would be no more favourable days in the next month.

He would have to report back to Director Fan that they couldn’t count on Chen Hansui’s baby anymore.

Once Suizi got home and laid down, she was drenched in cold sweat.

Her body was too weak after childbirth, and she needed to rest.

Thinking about what Jingting said about something being hidden under the bed, Suizi got up to look for it, but was stopped by Wang Cuihua.

"What are you up to? Let me take care of it, you should rest."

"Jingting mentioned there is something under the bed, let’s take it out and see what’s there."

"Probably some local products, let me check.....good gracious, what is this!"

Wang Cuihua pulled out a shabby bag that rattled when touched.

"Why the hell did he stash all these rocks here?"

Wang Cuihua took out one of the rocks from the bag. Suizi took one look and gasped.

"Mother, hand them over one by one for me to examine!"

The stones were of various sizes, but they all had one thing in common, they were all cut open.

Wang Cuihua picked up a palm-sized blackish stone and felt it was just like the ones picked up from the river.

"Mother, could you bring me a flashlight?"

Wang Cuihua fetched a flashlight, and when Suizi shone it on the stone, a jadeite green shone through.

Jiaojiao, attracted by the sound, let out an exclamation.

"So beautiful!"

"These are jadeite stones from the gambling piles, with a clear green under the light, and the water head seems good too. But the exact value will have to be determined after further carving," said Suizi.

Suizi examined a few more pieces, all of which were jadeite.

"Knowledge changes destiny...." Suizi expressed sighingly.

The professional knowledge she crammed for Jingting that night turned out to be truly useful.

While she was giving birth with the doctor present, Jingting only talked about the part where he gambled and lost.

But he kept the jadeite he had won from the gamble.

Wealth should be kept a secret.

Suizi gave him 1000 yuan, and when he left, she advised him to spend it all and not be stingy.

Half of it was used for gambling on stones, and the other half was spent on buying manifest stones.

The so-called manifest stones are jadeite that has already been cut open. The price is higher, but there’s basically no risk, as what you see is what you get.

Wang Cuihua found another ball wrapped in a paper towel on the ground, and when she unwrapped it, several pieces of manifest stones were tucked away.

Suizi couldn’t have been happier.

All the stones were to her specifications, with ice floater, fruit green, and violet and tricolor among others.

The only disappointment was that there was no imperial green. Top-quality jadeite is hard to come by.

She ran the flashlight over one by one, some had cracks, but it was okay. The cracks could be avoided when they were processed into jewelry later. Even more rare was that a few stones could be cut into bracelets.

As these stones were already finished products, their prices were relatively high, but their value retention effect was amazing. Buying them now was equivalent to investing.

After staring at them for a long time, Wang Cuihua couldn’t see anything special. To her, the unpolished manifest stones were nothing more than colorful rocks.

But seeing Suizi so happy, she guessed they must be valuable.

"Let’s get these compressed into bracelets for mom, and keep the rest of them for both Jiaojiao and the other kids’ wedding jewelry," suggested Suizi.

Now that Suizi was not feeling weak anymore, wealth had healed her postnatal weakness.

"Why not carve some pendants and have the kids wear them as amulets now?" Wang Cuihua suggested.

"The current carving techniques are too crude to do justice to these stones," replied Suizi.

The prices of jadeite were at an all-time low, and the quality of the carvers was quite ordinary.

Many good stones had been ruined, so it was better to keep them intact.

Wang Cuihua couldn’t understand why Suizi was so thrilled about a pile of broken stones, but Suizi’s happiness was contagious, and she cheerfully helped Suizi pick up the stones.

Suddenly, Wang Cuihua spotted a small box on the ground.

"What is this?" she asked.

Wang Cuihua opened the box and was surprised to find a jadeite ring inside.

To be precise, it was a jadeite thumb ring.

"It’s pitch black, not valuable, right?" Wang Cuihua didn’t recognize what it was, but she felt it was quite large and must be for a man to wear.

"It’s black jadeite. It looks black to you, but when lit..." Suizi shone the flashlight on it, and a jade green colour looked particularly nice.

"The water head is very ample, it’s meant to be worn on the thumb. The only problem is, why does it look so familiar..." Suizi closed her eyes in thought.

Wang Cuihua put the thumb ring back in the box, mumbling to herself.

"Tiegen doesn’t know his priorities, he doesn’t spend money on a ring for you but buys one for himself. When he comes back, I’m going to scold him. What’s a grown man doing wearing rings."

Suizi felt like something flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t remember what it was.

In the evening, a visitor came to their house.

It was a man they didn’t know, wearing glasses, who claimed to have been sent by Fan Huang.

Fan Huang was the head of the Fan family who had spoken to Suizi over the phone before.

The man came to tell Suizi that Fan Gao, who had been causing her trouble, had been caught and was being escorted back to the city.

He was there on behalf of Fan Huang to comfort Suizi and had brought her many tonics.

Wang Cuihua chatted with him for a while and then excused herself, saying that Suizi was not feeling well and might go into labor in the next few days.

The man was very understanding and left after saying some auspicious words.

Suizi let out a big sigh of relief, feeling that all the problems had finally been sorted out.

"What does this man do?" Wang Cuihua asked.

"He’s probably Fan Huang’s trusted aide."

"I felt he’s really good with words, much better than that previous Fan Gao. If his underling is this sophisticated, his boss must be even more formidable, right?"

Wang Cuihua, having read people’s fortunes for so many years, understood them well and knew how to focus on the important points.

Suizi nodded in agreement.

"Fan Huang has been groomed as the heir to the family, so of course he is way more capable than the others. If there are no accidents, he’s likely to be the next head of the Fan family."

As the eldest son of a traditional family with a rich heritage, the education he received would be different from others.

"Let me check what he brought, you take a look too," Wang Cuihua handed the gift box to Suizi. She did not recognize what was inside.

Suizi opened the box, and examined a thin stick about as long as a finger, then furrowed her eyebrow.

"It’s cordyceps."

Besides the cordyceps, the rest of the gift boxes contained bird’s nests and snow clam, all of which were precious tonics.

Suizi frowned.

Was Fan Huang’s gift a bit too generous?

She and this guy were simply taking advantage of each other, did he need to send these?
