Chapter 399: Chapter 392 Sister’s Treasure
“Sir, I’m not naive. I chose my stepmother for my father because she could give a younger brother,” If it wasn’t for my brother, she would never have let Ren Li beco her stepmother. This title of stepmother always felt dismissive, and whenever people heard it, they would look at her with sympathetic eyes.
In her experience, having a stepmother wasn’t scary, but having a stepfather was. The stepfather was truly a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Mr. Huang rubbed his forehead, wondering what exactly these kids were thinking about these days?
Tang Yuxin cleaned the black ointnt off Mr. Huang’s leg with dicinal water. At this point, the flesh on his leg was mostly restored and indeed didn’t need a skin graft, therefore, didn’t have to endure additional harm or multiple surgeries.
It significantly alleviated the burden on his legs and his body.
So, Mr. Huang no longer has to live with dressing ointnts every day. All he needs to do now is wait for his bones to heal. Also, the scar on his leg wouldn’t be too serious. This was sothing Tang Yuxin could guarantee, he could definitely feel confident wearing shorts in public.
Tang Yuxin needed to return to school. She hadn’t been back in a long ti due to hospital stay of over two months, halfway through her junior year.
When she offered to return the doctor’s uniform she had been wearing, the Dean declined, stating she might still need it in the future,
Tang Yuxin thought about it and agreed. It’s possible she might need it soon anyway. Oh, and she also returned her al card.
The Dean didn’t take the al card either, explaining that Gu Ning had arranged it for her. The na on the card was hers, and the doctors dining in the cafeteria received subsidies from the state. Gu Ning personally funded the portion beyond the subsidy.
Tang Yuxin never expected the al card to have such a special status.
She pulled an invoice, which had her na and Gu Ning listed as the payer, out of her bag.
Uncle Gu, how am I supposed to return this card to you?
A low-key off-road vehicle entered Li Tang Village. Although the village had seen trendous developnt in recent years, the villagers had never seen such a vehicle, clearly a military vehicle, which parked right in front of Tang Zhinian’s house.
People said the Tang Family had really made it big. They bought land and built high-rise buildings in the city. Each unit in those buildings sold for over a hundred thousand, even over two hundred thousand. Who would have thought the forrly impoverished Tang family could achieve such prosperity? Once in need of taking out entire savings just for marrying off their daughters, the Tang brothers were now famous figures in Qing’an, frequently appearing on television. Also, the Tang daughter first achieved the highest provincial literature exam score and then enrolled in Qing University. She too had appeared on television and newspaper multiple tis. She was a true Golden Phoenix who had flown out of their village.
And now, another guest has arrived.
Could it possibly be so sort of trouble?
So jealous people suggested that perhaps the Tang family was living too well, and sothing was bound to go wrong. Perhaps their building construction was faulty, or the Tang brothers were in trouble.
However, they seed to forget that if the Tang family were really in trouble, the police would’ve been visiting, not a military off-roader.
When Zhang Xiangcao opened the door and saw the visitors, she was montarily taken aback.
“May I ask, whom are you here to see?”
“Hello,” said the man at the door, quite handso with a tenacious, unabashed air.
“Are you Tang Zhinian’s family?”
“Yes, we are,” Zhang Xiangcao nodded, “May I ask who you gentlen are…?”
Before she could finish her sentence, a little boy erged from the house and ran towards the man, hugging his legs tightly,
“Brother Gu, did you co to visit Chengcheng? Did you bring Chengcheng a gift?” Chengcheng lifted his little face, batting his big sparkling eyes. He held a certain resemblance to Tang Yuxin, albeit a more rounded, rosy-cheeked version. There was no telling what he might look like when he grows up, as long as he doesn’t develop a burly figure with a pretty face.
Gu Ning bent down, lifted little chubby Chengcheng with one hand, and let him sit on his arm, “How is it that every ti I see you, you’ve put on more weight?”
Little pudgy Chengcheng cupped his chubby cheeks, “Mommy says I look cuter when I’m chubby. Auntie says, chubby is adorable. Sister Sisi says, she loves to pinch when I’m chubby. Godfather says, chubby kids are healthier.”
The little one articulated his words clearly, summarizing all that his elders told him. In his mind, all that mattered was one thing, that he was the most adored kid at ho, his two sisters loved him dearly, often giving him their best stuff.
Little chubby seed to really like Gu Ning, clinging to Gu’s arm and refusing to let go.
“Brother Gu, Brother Gu, Chengcheng will show you sothing nice,” Little chubby hugged Gu Ning’s neck, attempting to pull Gu Ning to see his treasures. Gu Ning signaled his subordinates, and they brought down many local specialties from the vehicle. He happened to pass by Qing’an and decided to visit Tang Yuxin’s family and check on little chubby.
In no ti, the Tang household was filled with gifts. Gu Ning was led by little chubby to see his treasures. The guests seated themselves, smiling shyly. Zhang Xiangcao, seeing that Chengcheng recognized them, didn’t worry much. She imdiately invited them to sit, served them water and fruit, and called Tang Zhinian and Tang Zhijun, letting them know guests had arrived.
When Tang Zhinian got the call, he rushed back ho.
“Brother Gu, it’s here. These are my sister’s treasures.”
Chengcheng pointed ahead with his tiny finger, his look mystifying, his expression clearly stating that he wouldn’t reveal the secret even if others begged him.
Gu Ning extended his hand to spread the curtain in front of a shelf. Behind the veil was a collection of glass bottles, each of them containing snakes of various colors. So were thick, so were thin, so of them were soaking ginseng or various kinds of herbs. He scrutinized each bottle; every bottle was labeled indicating the year and type of liquor it was soaked in.
