Xie Yunhe was a person who could not show his emotions. No matter what happened, he could maintain a rare calmness.
It was precisely this personality that deeply attracted Cheng Lian and won the trust of the elders and the Cheng family.
However, when he heard that Su Xiaoxiao had designs on the mineral vein, a rare trace of shock appeared in Xie Yunhe’s eyes.
He didn’t expect Su Xiaoxiao, who had just returned to the Cheng family, to dare to ask for so much.
He calmly picked up his teacup. “The mine belongs to the Cheng family to begin with. Why are you talking about handing it over? If you’re curious, you can go and take a look at it at any time. Moreover, the mineral vein has always been taken care of by the people Old Master left behind back then. If you’re worried, you can ask Uncle Quan.”
In other words, he could not interfere and had never thought of interfering.
If Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t asked Uncle Quan, how would she have known that the Cheng family actually had a mine?
Xie Yunhe made it sound nice. The mine was filled with people left behind by Old Master. In fact, he had long replaced most of them.
In some cases, the sons took over their fathers’ positions. The fathers were loyal, but not the sons.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Grandpa, do you mean that you won’t ask if I go to the mine?”
Xie Yunhe said earnestly, “You’ve just arrived at the Cheng family and still have many things to familiarize yourself with. You can start with the middle school in the residence. When you’re almost done practicing, you can go take a look at the farm and shop. You have to eat mouthful by mouthful and walk step by step. I understand your desire to share the family’s worries, but there are some things that you don’t have to be too anxious about.”
Look at this. He was thinking for her in every way and even heaped praises on her. If it were someone else with a weak temperament, they would have long been led by the nose.
Who was Su Xiaoxiao?
The person who could coax her had yet to be born.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “Grandpa is so thoughtful for me. I’m very touched, but this isn’t my intention. Grandmother wants me to go to the mine to take a look. Grandfather won’t have any objections, right?”
Xie Yunhe paused in his drinking of tea.
“Since you’re just going to take a look, I naturally have no objections. I’ll take you there when I’m free.”
“There’s no need to trouble Grandfather. I want to go myself,” Su Xiaoxiao said and reached out to Xie Yunhe.
Xie Yunhe looked at her in confusion. “What?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The token of the mine. How can I enter without it? How can I gather the people of the mine to listen to my orders?”
Xie Yunhe said calmly, “The family head’s token is fine too.”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “But I don’t know where I’ve placed the family head’s token!”
Xie Yunhe was not stupid. How could he not tell that she was scamming?
His gaze darkened.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “I actually don’t care. Whether I find the family head’s token in a day, ten days, or a year, it’s mine! I wonder if the Saintess can hold it for that long.”
Last time, it was because of those three children that the Saintess was punished.
If she was stripped of her position as the next elder, everything would be for naught.
Xie Yunhe sized up Su Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.
Su Xiaoxiao met his gaze openly and smiled.
“Steward Cui.”
“Master.”
“Go get the Golden Feather Token.”
“…Yes.”
When Su Xiaoxiao obtained the Golden Feather Token, she realized it was actually made of pure gold. She was really rich and willful!
“It’s not time to leave. I’ll go accompany Grandmother first. Grandfather, rest early.”
After taking a few steps, she turned around and smiled.
“Ah, right, Grandfather just said that he wanted to give me the farmstead. Steward Cui, remember to send the matching cards over later.”
Steward Cui’s mouth twitched.
The oil lamp was like a bean.
Xie Yunhe’s face was hidden in the shadows.
He looked calm, but how could Steward Cui, who had followed him for many years, not tell that he was sulking?
There were not many people who could be compared to Old Master.
He thought for a moment. Old Master prObably did not care about those farms.
He bent down and comforted, “Master, don’t worry. It’s just a token. So what if she gets it? None of those people in the mine are easy to deal with. You spent a lot of effort back then to barely win those people over. I guarantee that she’ll come back crying after going once and won’t dare to go a second time!” Su Xiaoxiao returned to the courtyard.
Mei Ji squatted on the ground and roasted sweet potatoes again.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, she immediately dashed over. “How is it? Did Xie Yunhe do
Su Xiaoxiao handed her the shiny token. Mei Ji held it in her hand. “Gold! What’s this for?”
“The token of the mine.”
“You got the token for the mine? Didn’t you only ask for a few fields and shops?”
“That was my plan, but he took the initiative to offer the farms as soon as he arrived. Naturally, I have to raise the price.” Had it been raised to the mine, then?
She really dared to raise it.
The problem was that Xie Yunhe really compromised—
Mei Ji frowned and said, “There must be something wrong. Xie Yunhe definitely doesn’t have any good intentions!”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Uncle Quan said that the people from the mine are very difficult to deal with. Even my grandmother suffered a lot at their hands back then. ”
Mei Ji clenched her fists. “Then I can teach them a lesson!”
Su Xiaoxiao put away the token. “There’s no hurry about the mine.” As the two of them spoke, Steward Cui came over.
He was here to send the cards of the farm and the three children.
Su Xiaoxiao took the cards and looked at the three children holding their bags. She said with disdain, “Let’s be candid here and get the unpleasant things out of the way. I’m just acknowledging them. I didn’t say that I wanted to raise the children. They better not cause trouble for me. Otherwise, I’ll send them back
LU Lile DCt111LeSb’.
Steward Cui smiled dryly and said, “What trouble can three-year-old children cause? I’ll find two nannies to serve you tomorrow. They won’t disturb Young Master!”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “There’s no need for a nanny. It’s not like there aren’t any maidservants in the courtyard. Are they very noble? Do they need a nanny to serve them?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Steward Cui only wanted to settle the matter quickly. The reputation of the Saintess could not be compromised anymore.
“Come in,” Su Xiaoxiao said indifferently to the three little ones.
The three little ones hugged their small bags and refused to leave as if they were frightened by Su Xiaoxiao.
When Steward Cui urged them, they hid behind him.
Steward Cui smiled and coaxed, “Be good. She’ll be your mother from now on. If you follow your mother, you’ll have candy.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked impatient. “Hurry up and come in!”
The three little ones trembled in an extremely exaggerated manner.
Steward Cui patted their shoulders. “Hurry up and follow Mother in!” The three of them slowly entered.
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at them indifferently and returned to her room without looking back.
Mei Ji also entered.
The three little ones looked at Steward Cui.
Steward Cui waved his hand. “Go on, follow her.”
The three little ones carried the small bag and entered Su Xiaoxiao’s room.
Steward Cui was also prepared to leave.
“Aiya! I forgot something.”
Steward Cui stepped into the courtyard and walked up the steps.
He heard the sound of trampolines.
On the window paper, a few small figures jumped around excitedly.
He froze.
He pushed open the unlatched door.
The room fell silent.
Su Xiaoxiao sat on the chair and read with a cold expression.
Cheng Sang was asleep.
Mei Ji was eating a sweet potato.
The three little ones sat obediently on the edge of the bed with innocent expressions.
“What’s the matter?” Su Xiaoxiao asked indifferently.
“Ah…” Steward Cui came back to his senses and said, “Master asked me to remind Young Master to inform him before going to the mine so that he can arrange for people for Young Master.” Su Xiaoxiao flipped a page. “Got it.” Steward Cui retreated.
He had just walked into the courtyard.
There was another commotion in the house.
He turned back again.
The three little ones were still sitting on the edge of the bed with innocent expressions.
“There’s something wrong with my ears…”
Steward Cui muttered and left..
