Chapter 368: Chapter 364 Huo Sining’s Gift
Was she here to recognize relatives or to offer medical consultations? This was just too exaggerated.
The many men of the Huang Family who witnessed the scene were also stunned, each touching his nose and pretending not to see.
In the Huang Family, women accounted for more than half of the sky; the men had no say, so it was better to just stand aside and watch the drama unfold.
After using Spiritual Energy to sort out seven or eight women, even Huo Sining felt somewhat fatigued.
Fortunately, her Spiritual Energy was now more abundant than ever, otherwise, it would have been somewhat difficult to deal with so many people.
Although it was exhausting, Huo Sining also reaped significant rewards.
Before she stepped through the door of the Huang Family, perhaps the Huang Family had been examining her with scrutiny and even distance and separation.
But after this warm contact and treatment, Huo Sining had thoroughly integrated into the inner circle of the Huang Family and successfully became a friend to the women.
The two elder ladies of the Huang Family looked at Huo Sining with eyes full of affection, wishing they could snatch Huo Sining away as their own granddaughter;
The three aunts who had been three parts vigilant and suspicious toward Huo Sining no longer looked at her with aggressiveness in their eyes.
As for the daughters of the Huang Family, they had already hit it off with Huo Sining, treating her as if she were a sister of their own.
Finally, after enough commotion, Huang Chengyi cleared his throat slightly and introduced everyone in the room to Huo Sining, one by one.
"This is your great-aunt, Great-Uncle Huang Jiapeng and his wife Xie Sulan, Hanyun is their child, twenty-eight years old, she is your eldest cousin."
Huo Sining nodded and duly greeted each of the elders.
"This is your second great-uncle and great-aunt, they live in the courtyard across the way, but it’s connected to ours here, so you can go over and visit anytime."
"This is your Second Uncle Huang Jiaqi and his wife Wang Chunxia, Third Uncle Huang Jialin and his wife Xiao Feng."
Huo Sining went on to call on each in turn.
"Your second uncle has a pair of twins, a boy named Huang Yingrong, your eldest cousin, and a girl named Huang Yunmiao, both 26 years old and currently abroad. They won’t be able to return officially until next year."
"The youngest here is your third uncle’s child, a year younger than you, her name is Ran Ping, and she is currently in her final year of high school."
Ran Ping Huo Sining knew; she was the girl who had been calling her "sister" the most enthusiastically and sweetly just now. It was said that she, like Su Qingqing, was studying at S University. She even turned down the opportunity to be guaranteed admission to Tsinghua University, saying that she was determined to get into S University next year, which made Huo Sining’s forehead show lines of exasperation.
"Your third uncle also has a son named Huang Xiaoyi, fourteen years old and currently in junior high. He went to his grandmother’s house a few days ago; tomorrow, Jialin will go to bring him back."
After getting acquainted with each member of the Huang Family, Huo Sining had Li Quan bring her luggage over, and after opening the suitcase, she took several beautifully packaged gift boxes out of it.
"Dear great-uncles and great-aunts, three uncles and aunts, this is my first time meeting you all. I don’t really know the proper etiquette, so I haven’t prepared much else, but I’ve gotten each of you a small gift. I hope none of you will mind."
With that, Huo Sining handed the gifts to the elders, according to the differences in each box.
"This..."
Not only the people in the room, but even Huang Chengyi had not expected Huo Sining to pull off such a move.
The crowd looked at the gift box Huo Sining handed over, not knowing whether to accept it or not. They were at a loss, awkwardly facing each other.
Huang Chengyi’s face suddenly darkened, "Miss Huo, what is this all about? Your granduncle brought you here out of genuine desire for you to consider the Huang Family as your own, just to celebrate the holiday! But this spectacle you’re creating is out of line. Take everything back!"
Huo Sining smiled, "Great-uncle, please, don’t get angry. This gift didn’t cost much; it’s just a token of my sentiments."
Skeptical, Huang Chengyi took the box, but his expression drastically changed once he opened it and saw the obsidian bracelet inside.
The bracelet was composed of 18 obsidian beads, each larger than 15mm. Smooth and round, the beads were carved with Sanskrit, indicating they were exceptionally exquisite and valuable.
"This won’t do, take this back! I won’t accept it!" Huang Chengyi said decisively as he put the bracelet back into the box and pushed it back.
Huo Sining had anticipated Master Huang’s reaction early on and quickly tried to persuade him:
"Great-uncle, you’ve been living at my place for half a year, so you should know that besides Qigong Massage, I have some unique insights into jade and stone gambling. Haven’t you visited my basement and seen the raw jade stones I’ve unearthed?"
"These things might be valuable to others, but to me, they truly aren’t much, and they didn’t cost me a lot of money."
"Moreover, you may not know this, but the beads have been consecrated by a master. The Sanskrit carved on them has a special effect that matches your spiritual energy. They were custom-made just for you. Even if returned, no one else could wear them."
The last statement was clearly a bluff, but Huo Sining spoke so sincerely that it actually convinced Huang Chengyi to take her word for it.
He hesitated for a moment but still picked up the bracelet and fondled it, clearly charmed by the obsidian beads.
In fact, the bracelet was made by Yan Feng. The consecration story was fabricated by Huo Sining, but the Sanskrit on it was indeed useful.
When Yan Feng heard that Huo Sining intended to give the bracelet as a gift to an elder, he carved the string of Sanskrit onto the beads, claiming it could prolong life and ward off sickness.
Even though she wasn’t very familiar with Yan Feng, his medical skills were renowned in the Hetian region, so Huo Sining had no doubt about his claims.
Seeing what was in Master Huang’s gift box, everyone else hurried to open their own boxes, and upon seeing their gifts, they stared with wide-eyed astonishment.
The gift for Huang Chengxin was another obsidian bracelet, nearly identical in size and shape, but the Sanskrit inside was different.
For the two great-aunts, one received a jade Guanyin and the other a Ba Xian Celebrating Birthday; both figurines were carved from the highest quality mutton fat jade.
Huo Sining chose these specific gifts because Su Qingqing had mentioned her grandmother was a Buddhist, and the second great-aunt enjoyed the "Eight Immortals Celebrating a Birthday" play a lot.
For the three uncles, the gifts were three jade plaques. Each plaque had runes carved on the back by Yan Feng, with unspecified functions but certainly not ordinary.
The three aunts each received a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, perfect as personal wear or as gifts for daughters and daughters-in-law.
Seeing Huo Sining’s generous gestures, everyone in the room was rendered speechless, looking incredulously at her.
The gifts were too expensive, and though they liked them, they would inevitably feel guilty if they accepted them.
Especially the three uncles, whose faces were extremely awkward. Ruining’s child had suffered outside for over ten years, and yet now she was giving such precious gifts. If word got out, they as elders would lose all face.
