Jadeite needed to be nurtured, and Su Xiaoxiao had seen Ms. Li soaked her jadeites from time to time. 

Hmph, Ms. Li didn’t even give her a bath! 

She wasn’t Ms. Li’s biological child, jadeite was the one, right! 

Her thoughts wandered far away, back to the jadeite.

Father Su didn’t seem to have this intention, so he just casually threw it to the bottom of the box. The jade pendant was severely dehydrated and had no luster. 

Fortunately, the water jadeite was old enough. If it was replaced with the new jadeite, I’m afraid it would have cracked long ago. 

-Water jade pendant

“Dad, where did this jade pendant come from? It looks like it’s worth a lot of money.” 

“A family heirloom.” Father Su said, “It will be yours from now on.” 

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned and said, “Our family…… still has a family heirloom?” 

Her father was an orphan who grew up by eating other families’ foods, right? 

Orphan was a neutral term, while those villagers out there called them beggars and underaged workers. 

“Now it is!” Father Su said. 

Su Xiaoxiao: “……” 

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Dad, how much money did you spend on it?” 

“I didn’t buy it, I should.….. have picked it up.” Father Su recalled.

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “What do you mean with ‘should have’?” 

Father Su explained, “It’s just that I don’t remember. As long as I can remember, I have had this jade pendant on my body. It looks like it can be worth some money, so I thought that if one day I really couldn’t make it through the day, I would just take it and pawn it!” 

Worth some money? 

Did you know about its worth? If we sold this piece of jadeite, we could even support several villages, okay? 

What kind of luck did her father have? Even such a treasure could be picked up? 

Su Xiaoxiao carefully examined the shape of the jade pendant and said to her father, “Dad, this jade pendant, it looks like it’s only half?” 

“Half pieces?” Father Su muttered, “I picked up a piece of broken jadeite?” 

Su Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head and said, “What I mean is that it’s a pair of pendants. This is the left piece, and the right side should have another piece. Together, it just happens to form a complete shape.” 

Father Su said, “I only picked up this one.” 

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the jade pendant and asked, “Dad, do you still remember where you are from?” 

Father Su shook his head and said, “I don’t remember.” 

He was exiled to Yangliu Village during the famine thirty years ago. At that time, he was only six years old and his memory was almost as fuzzy. 

Su Xiaoxiao had also heard of some events from the past. The disaster situation in Yangliu Village was more severe than that in Xinghua Village. 

Xinghua Village had the Old Su family who had provided relief, but in Yangliu Village, dozens of people really starved to death. 

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Didn’t you starve to death at that time? Why didn’t you use it to exchange it for something to eat?” 

Father Su thought for a moment and said, 

“Maybe because I was still young at that time, so I didn’t think about it.” 

In fact, there were several times that he almost couldn’t survive, but he still didn’t sell the jade pendant and gritted his teeth hard to get through. 

Why didn’t he sell it? 

He couldn’t remember it either.

  …… 

When Su Xiaoxiao put away the jade pendant and returned to the east room, Wei Ting was also there. 

She was just about to ask ‘why are you in my room’, but when she was about to protest, she remembered that this guy’s bed had collapsed, so it was perfectly legitimate for him to move into her room! 

Wei Ting was sitting on the edge of the bed, admiring a pair of couplets on the table with the light coming in through the window paper. 

The word ‘admiring’ was Su Xiaoxiao’s refined description, but in fact, this guy’s eyes were more like doing an inspection, a scrutinized observation. 

“You rummage through my things! “Su Xiaoxiao said. 

Wei Ting said calmly, “It fell on the ground, I just picked it up.” 

After saying that, he paused and said, “Who wrote it?” 

Su Xiaoxiao said proudly, “A friend! What do you think? Is it better than what you’ve written?” 

Young Master Xiang’s calligraphy was something that even Dean Shen wanted to have, so of course it wouldn’t be bad in quality! 

“Heh.” Wei Ting snorted disdainfully.

“Don’t look at it if you don’t like it!” Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the couplet, rolled it up, put it back in the brocade box, and put it away in the cabinet. 

Wei Ting looked at the tightly closed cabinet door, his eyes gradually becoming a little bit colder.
