Chapter 200
Jiang Yexun and Aunt Guo were startled by her words.
They looked at Su Xiaoxiao with disbelief, their minds rapidly processing the possibilities of what she just said. Even though they had long abandoned any hope for these shameless fathers and sons, they still felt a tinge of discomfort when facing the fact that Aunt Guo was involved in the scheming for over twenty years and that Jiang Yexun’s birth was a part of a conspiracy.
However, sometimes what one couldn’t accept was often the truth.
The coldness in Jiang Yexun’s eyes condensed into sharp ice, his hand clenched tightly into a fist, visible veins popping.
Aunt Guo reached out and held his hand, her voice choked with guilt and regret, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If I were stronger back then, you and your sister wouldn’t have suffered like this.”
“Mom, it’s not your fault. It’s their evil hearts! A good person is never capable of defending themselves when there are bad people plotting around them.” Jiang Yexun tried to calm the situation.
Then, he turned to Su Xiaoxiao. “Little educated youth, thank you. If not for you thinking through this layer, we might not have realized it before they took action.”
“What are you thanking me for? Although we haven’t had a wedding yet, we are already a family. Any issues need to be discussed and analyzed together; we must take care of each other,” Su Xiaoxiao said sternly while looking at Jiang Yexun.
Her puffed-up cheeks inadvertently made Jiang Yexun’s lips curl slightly.
No matter when, seeing little educated youth’s lively appearance, all of his negative emotions would disappear instantly.
“Did they know the location of those things buried on the mountain earlier?” Aunt Guo asked Jiang Yexun.
“After more than twenty years, even if they don’t know the exact spot, they should have a general idea. I’ll figure out a way to change the location,” Jiang Yexun replied after some thought.
“No need,” Su Xiaoxiao immediately rejected his plan. “There’s tighter control outside now. Keeping them in the mountain is definitely safer. They absolutely won’t dare to openly search or dig there now. My brother is of some rank in the military, and it’s close to the capital. If there’s any change at the top, we should be able to hear about it at least a month in advance. Then, we can dig them out and move them. By the way, let Aunt Guo proceed with the divorce at that time.”
“Wouldn’t this be too rushed?” Aunt Guo was a bit worried.
But Jiang Yexun shook his head, “I can go find a place in the city right now and dig the pit in advance. When the time comes, it’ll only take one night; there won’t be any problems.”
“Auntie, Yexun has always been reliable in his work, so you can rest assured. He’s always been particularly dependable.” Su Xiaoxiao hugged Aunt Guo’s arm, soothingly.
Right now, if they were to dig out and relocate the items, they couldn’t watch the risk every day, which would be even riskier. Moreover, even in the previous life, placing the items in the village until the revival of the college entrance examination and the abolishment of the class background system did not bring about any issues. They wouldn’t be willing to let go. Thus, keeping the items in the mountains would definitely be safer.
Aunt Guo herself was only worried that the matters in their house might affect both of her children and their families. Now that her son and his future daughter-in-law spoke like this, naturally, she had no reason to object.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go and boil some water. You’ve been running around all day; you must be sweaty. Take a bath and rest well. There’s a new leader in the village now; you don’t need to work tomorrow,” Aunt Guo patted Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and moved towards the kitchen.
However, Jiang Yexun stopped her, “Mom, it’s not even nine o’clock yet. I remember this is the time when they have story-telling on the radio. You and the little educated youth should go back to the room and snack on some melon seeds and peanuts. I’ll go heat the water. It will only take a moment.”
“Okay,” Aunt Guo happily agreed and entered the room with Su Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Yexun brewed two cups of malted milk for them, then focused on boiling the water at the stove.
As Aunt Guo was not as energetic as the young, she would bathe first when the water was ready. Once she finished, Jiang Yexun would reheat the water.
The roomy bathroom had a bathtub bought by Aunt Guo, with the water temperature adjusted. Jiang Yexun was going to get another couple of buckets of hot water so Su Xiaoxiao could add more if it got cold.
However, as he was about to turn, his waist was suddenly embraced from behind by two slender, soft arms.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yexun turned around, holding Su Xiaoxiao in his arms and gently kissing the top of her head.
The steam rising from the hot water made both of them a little dizzy; their senses seemed amplified.
Su Xiaoxiao tiptoed, her damp eyes glistening with charming radiance, and hooked onto him so charmingly.
“Brother Yexun, you heated so much water; won’t that waste a lot of firewood? How about we save on water and wood?” Her tone seemed even softer than usual.
Jiang Yexun didn’t know if it was his own misconception or the change brought on by the room’s warmth.
“No need, I got Zhang Tiewa to gather plenty of firewood.” He refused in a hoarse voice, but his arms involuntarily tightened around her.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was merely teasing Jiang Yexun, and she felt awkward doing something more intimate in such a setting.
After all, their previous intimacy was hidden under the covers in the dark.
But the surging desire within her made it difficult to control, as she yearned to wrap her legs around Jiang Yexun.
Even through the thick layers of clothing, she felt an inexplicable restlessness in her heart.
Sensing her small hands hastily tugging at his clothes, Jiang Yexun quickly grabbed them and brought them to his lips.
“Little educated youth, be good. You take a bath first, and after I finish, I’ll come to your room and sleep with you, alright?” He coaxed her in a soft voice.
Listening to this, Su Xiaoxiao felt the anxiety that was almost engulfing her rationality, which not only didn’t receive any relief but became even more urgent.
Her rationality and desires tugged at her nerves alternately, making her so distressed that she was close to tears.
Is this life paying off the heavy debts I’ve accumulated in my past life? It’s not fair, is it, to blame me for the sins of the Guo family ancestors. If it’s so important, why don’t you send a dream to your grandson to let him sort it out and cleanse himself earlier?
Su Xiaoxiao vented her frustration in her mind.
But the surging heatwave made her hold on tighter.
Agitated, she resorted to biting Jiang Yexun’s neck.
“Mmm,” Jiang Yexun suppressed a low sound.
His breath became even more urgent, echoing in the bathroom.
Apparently, with the little strength exerted by Su Xiaoxiao, a slight sense of pain stirred some wildness in Jiang Yexun.
He extended his long arm, directly lifting the girl in his arms and hanging her on his waist.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Su Xiaoxiao was startled by his actions.
Her body suddenly turned, and scorching kisses rained down on her.
The plump, pink lips, more delicious than honey, were seized by Jiang Yexun.
The steam in the bathroom entwined their cold, sweet fragrances, flooding the entire space with pink bubbles.
Finally, Jiang Yexun, with the last trace of his sanity, set the girl in his arms down.
Looking at her pouting, red, swollen lips still glistening with ambiguity, he said piles of sweet words before the girl obediently went to take a bath.
Jiang Yexun leaned against the door, listening to the rush of water inside, then looked at himself. Sighing, he knew he had to quickly manage his future in-laws, or else he was afraid he would truly fall ill from the stress.
