Chapter 1660

Su Xinghui said, "If we had openly accepted red envelopes, it wouldn't be strange to receive a few million this time."

Lu Xiaoya knew that Su Xinghui wasn't bragging. Just Yu Ruizhi alone was going to give them a luxury car, and Hou Guangbi was also preparing to give a heavy gift. Chu Zheng and Han Xiang Dong were also preparing to give them an antique each.

As for those who had requests of Su Xinghui, as long as Su Xinghui was willing to accept, they would dare to give as much money as they wanted.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Xinghui, you did the right thing. We won't make that kind of money."

Su Xinghui smiled and touched Lu Xiaoya's face. Lu Xiaoya said, "Let's look at the gifts again."

They received quite a few gifts this time. Su Xinghui didn't accept red envelopes, so many people could only give gifts. Of course, Su Xinghui also had people keep an eye on things; gifts that were too expensive were not accepted. Generally, these gifts were crafts or small ornaments worth less than a hundred yuan.

Of course, there were also gifts of great value among them, such as the bamboo weaving painting meticulously woven by Xia Zhu, which had a market price of at least several thousand yuan.

There were also famous calligraphers and painters like Qu Ziqing and Chen Hanxiu, who each meticulously created a work and gave it to Su Xinghui. Given their status, the value of these works would naturally not be low.

However, this belonged to the category of mutual exchange between friends. Su Xinghui would also often give them a piece of calligraphy or painting. This was an elegant affair.

Overall, Su Xinghui's practice of not accepting gifts this time was quite good, avoiding quite a bit of trouble. However, there were still some oversights.

Lu Xiaoya discovered a painting by a famous modern painter from Hudong, "Morning Sun Reflecting on the Magnificent Hall." The painting depicted peonies, rich and magnificent, which was very suitable as a wedding gift. After Su Xinghui's appraisal, this painting should be an authentic work. If it were taken to the market to be sold, it could sell for at least one hundred thousand yuan. This painting was packed in a brocade box, and they didn't know who sent it.

In addition, the two also discovered a statue of the Guanyin of Dripping Water carved from jade, about a dozen centimeters high. The jade quality was very good, at least ice-seed or above, translucent and emerald green, and the carving was also very good. If it were taken to the market to be sold, it might also be worth around one hundred thousand.

These two things made Su Xinghui smile bitterly. Although he was careful to guard against it, there were still oversights. They didn't know who sent these two things. If they were to investigate, this would definitely count as bribery. The value was too high.

Lu Xiaoya naturally knew that these two gifts were too expensive and that it was inappropriate to accept them. But if they wanted to return them, they didn't know who to return them to. She asked Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, what should we do?"

After thinking for a while, Su Xinghui said, "How about this: let's contact Brother Yu and Ruoqiu and donate these two things to their charity foundation. The money from the auction later will be used to do some good deeds."

The charity foundation established by Yu Ruizhi and Yu Ruoqiu not only accepted donations but also accepted donations of such items. Items donated to them would be auctioned off at regular charity auctions, and the money raised would be used for charity.

Su Xinghui donated these two things to them, firstly to do good deeds, and secondly to donate these two things out. In case someone investigated in the future, they would have the receipt from the charity foundation, so they wouldn't be afraid.

Of course, if Su Xinghui wanted to keep these two things, it wasn't impossible. Anyway, he didn't give anyone a receipt. Even if someone investigated, he wouldn't admit it, and others couldn't do anything to him. But as the saying goes, a gentleman does not deceive in a dark room. Su Xinghui disdained to do such things. If he did, it would leave a shadow in his heart, and he would always feel guilty. Could he still maintain his original intention then?

Besides, with Su Xinghui's current ability, he didn't need to rely on such means to get rich. Just his two boxes of treasures were enough for him to live without worry for a lifetime.

Lu Xiaoya nodded and said, "Okay, then let's tell Brother Yu and the others and donate these two things to them."

Su Xinghui immediately called Yu Ruizhi. Yesterday, Yu Jingxian and Yu Yan'an left Shangjun for Jiangcheng. Yu Ruizhi and his sister naturally had to accompany them. After all, they were their aunt and father, and accompanying them on the road was also the filial piety of children.

After receiving Su Xinghui's call, Yu Ruizhi heard that Su Xinghui had received two gifts of unknown origin that were of great value and wanted to donate them to his charity foundation. He said to Su Xinghui, "Why are you so stubborn? Since it's a gift for you, it must have been sent by a friend. Why do you insist on donating it?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Brother Yu, even if it was sent by a friend, I can't accept it. These two things are too expensive, totaling probably hundreds of thousands. If I accept them, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night. For the sake of my peaceful sleep at night, please do me a favor and accept these two things."

Yu Ruizhi smiled and said, "Spring night is worth..."

"... a thousand gold. Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Xinghui said, "Brother Yu, don't tease me."

Yu Ruizhi laughed loudly and said, "Alright, then I'll go to Shangjun in two days, bring an appraiser, appraise your two things, and then give you a receipt to accept them."

This matter was settled, and Su Xinghui felt relaxed. Actually, even if he didn't do this, it was possible that no one would ever trouble him. But just as he said, he might never be able to sleep peacefully in the future. For the sake of peace of mind, donating these two things was fine.

After cleaning up all the gifts, Lu Xiaoya was worried. What should they do with so many gifts?

Su Xinghui said, "It's okay. We'll display more of these ornaments at home, and put the rest in storage boxes and put them in the storage room. I'll take these calligraphy and paintings to my house, find another camphor wood box from my mom, and put the calligraphy and paintings inside."

Lu Xiaoya said, "That's the only way."

The two took all the calligraphy and paintings sent by those calligraphers and painters and went to the Su house. As soon as they arrived home, the maternal grandparents and the paternal aunt and uncle were already up, and Su Wenjun and Guo Suhua were busy. Lu Xiaoya hurriedly picked up the thermos and started pouring tea for the elders. This was the duty of a new daughter-in-law.

The elders accepted the tea poured by Lu Xiaoya with smiles. Lu Xiaoya washed her hands and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. The elders nodded and praised her secretly. This new daughter-in-law was really good. Born into a high-ranking cadre family, she had no arrogance or spoiled behavior. Being so virtuous, Xinghui really found a good wife!

Guo Suhua was even smiling from ear to ear. With such a virtuous daughter-in-law, she, as a mother-in-law, had the most face.

With such a virtuous daughter-in-law, Guo Suhua naturally couldn't put on any airs. She also went to the kitchen to help her daughter-in-law, but Lu Xiaoya wouldn't let her do anything. She said, "Mom, I can do it alone. You go sit outside."

Guo Suhua could only leave the kitchen, but before leaving, she secretly looked at her daughter-in-law's posture as she walked. It seemed different from yesterday; her legs were a bit further apart.

Her daughter-in-law's figure was also one that was good for childbearing, with curves in all the right places. Should she get pregnant soon? Guo Suhua thought to herself, she was anxious to hold a grandson.

Su Xinghui greeted the elders, hugged the calligraphy and paintings, and entered his room. He put the calligraphy and paintings on the table first, then came out and asked, "Mom, can you give me another camphor wood box?"

Guo Suhua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tidy up another one for you right away."

Guo Suhua quickly tidied up a camphor wood box and gave it to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui put the calligraphy and paintings inside. At this time, Lu Xiaoya's breakfast was also ready.

Lu Xiaoya made shredded meat noodles. The noodles were long, accompanied by red shredded meat, golden poached eggs, green cabbage leaves, and green onion flowers. As soon as it was served, everyone smelled an alluring aroma.

Lu Xiaoya first used a tray to serve two bowls to her maternal grandparents. She said obediently, "Grandma and Grandpa, eat your noodles."

The maternal grandparents happily accepted the noodles served by their granddaughter-in-law. Su Xinghui originally wanted to help serve, but Lu Xiaoya insisted on serving everyone's noodles bowl by bowl. The whole family happily ate a delicious breakfast.
