Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 37: Handing Over the Family Fortune to the Bride

Because she hadn’t prepared herself well beforehand, her mind was somewhat muddled at this moment. She just wanted to get closer to the man she was holding, closer and closer. Even her body was filled with a strange desire, leaving her as limp as a puddle and she could no longer stand still.

Jiang Yexun noticed the girl in his arms sliding downwards, so he hurriedly reached out to support her, holding her even tighter. Su Xiaoxiao let out a soft whimper, a charming sound with an uncontrollable hint of breathiness, and it caused Jiang Yexun’s breath to become heavier.

He felt like all his senses were concentrated in one place, his body gradually growing hot, and in his mind, fireworks seemed to burst forth brilliantly and dazzlingly. He almost lost control and did something embarrassing.

He tensed his lower abdomen involuntarily, and his two straight legs clamped together. Fortunately, it was already half past nine at night, and most of the people in the production team were getting ready to sleep, so there was no one moving around outside.

Jiang Yexun carefully lifted Su Xiaoxiao from his embrace. "Be good, stand here."

"It was you who hugged me first," Su Xiaoxiao complained softly, her voice soft and sultry, making Jiang Yexun’s breath catch.

Jiang Yexun cleared his throat awkwardly and quickly lowered his head, trying to appease the situation. "Alright, alright, it’s all my fault, I was wrong. But you stand still for a moment, I have something for you."

"What is it?" Su Xiaoxiao tried to stand up straight and then took a few steps back, looking up at him.

The sudden emptiness of their embrace made Jiang Yexun feel a peculiar sense of loss. When they separated from that softness, he almost couldn’t resist pulling her back. However, looking at the moonlit, dewy eyes of the young girl, full of enchanting allure, she was staring at him so intensely. Moreover, she still had that innocent and clueless look, as if she was earnestly trying to entice him.

He suddenly felt his throat becoming even drier.

"Brother Yexun?"

Seeing him staring at her with eyes seemed to be on fire and didn’t say anything for a long time, she reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Jiang Yexun quickly averted his head awkwardly, feeling the slight dampness, and silently cursed himself for being so weak. He then led Su Xiaoxiao to a more secluded spot.

From the pocket of his jacket, he took out a passbook, a neatly folded oil-paper package, and a yellow envelope, handing them over to Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao glanced at them before accepting them.

When their fingers brushed against each other’s, she took the opportunity to entwine them. Jiang Yexun quickly withdrew his hand and took a step back to create some distance, fearing that his moment of weakness would be discovered.

"This is my savings from these years. You are going to be my wife, so I want you to keep it," Jiang Yexun said urgently.

Su Xiaoxiao curiously opened the bank passbook and was shocked by the numbers she saw. She counted them a few times with her fingers, still finding it hard to believe.

"How did you save so much?" she asked in amazement.

"I started hunting in the mountains at the age of thirteen, and now it’s been eleven years. It’s not that much," Jiang Yexun explained, feeling that Su Xiaoxiao would probably be satisfied with his savings.

"After you marry me, you don’t have to worry about the ration tickets. I have many friends in the city, and I can exchange tickets with them. You won’t have to endure any hardships," he assured her.

"Of course, I believe you," Su Xiaoxiao replied sweetly.

However, she was curious and somewhat amused. She had never seen anyone tell lies in their autobiography. When the person who helped him write his autobiography asked how much money he had saved before coming to the city in 1977, what did he say? Five thousand yuan! But now, in his passbook, he had twelve thousand yuan.

Did he stop saving for the next three years? Although getting married would reduce his hunting trips, during the first three years of their marriage, they slept in separate rooms. She was certain that she hadn’t spent so much money. She stayed in the production team every day, so where would she spend it?

Su Xiaoxiao opened the oil-paper package and found various types of ration tickets inside, including meat, fabric, and pastry tickets, and there were a lot of them.

She looked at Jiang Yexun in astonishment. "You eat at home every day, so why do you have so many tickets?"

"Before, I would cook meals separately and eat outside with my friends. I would also bring some back secretly for my mother. Sometimes, I would go to the city and give some to my sister," Jiang Yexun explained somewhat embarrassedly. He felt that a grown man secretly going out to eat like this was somewhat effeminate. He quickly added, "I won’t secretly eat anymore in the future, I promise."

"What’s the big deal about secretly eating or not? If you’re hungry, just eat. It makes no difference with one or two extra meals. Otherwise, I can’t eat anything without you by my side. Or do you think you’ll have to secretly enjoy it while I’m not looking?" Su Xiaoxiao spoke earnestly.

Seeing Jiang Yexun being so cautious around her, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

"What do you want to eat? Just tell me, and I’ll buy it for you," Jiang Yexun said softly and somewhat urgently.

"I mean, we can both eat whatever we want. If you feel hungry, eat it. If we’re out and you’re hungry, just buy something to eat. People need to take care of their health; only then can they work hard in the future," Su Xiaoxiao rambled.

Jiang Yexun, softening his tone, reassured her, "Alright, I understand. I’ll listen to you."

Only then did Su Xiaoxiao feel satisfied and withdraw her gaze to open the thick envelope. Inside was a stack of... government bonds?!

"Why did you think of buying these?" Su Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

Hearing the delight in her voice, Jiang Yexun finally felt relieved and explained with a smile,

"The interest on the money in the bank isn’t much. Fortunately, I have a friend at the bank who told me I could buy some government bonds. Although there might be occasional fluctuations, as long as we hold onto them without rushing to sell, the interest will definitely be higher than keeping the money in the bank. I thought it made sense, so I bought some."
