The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 523: 523 Wealthy Family 3

Two guards were stationed outside the door and greeted Ji as they saw him.

Ji opened the vermilion and magnificent gate, made a gesture of invitation to Su Qingyue, “This is the master’s residence. Please come in, Miss Su.”

As he rode in his wheelchair, Xiao Qinghe looked at the mansion in front of him.

The grandeur of this gate alone was likely worth more than half of the Xiao family’s entire estate.

He glanced at his wife, not wanting her to enter Boss Jin’s house for some inexplicable reason.

Before he was disabled, he had worked part-time in the town and heard people say that Boss Jin was young and promising, handsome, and heir to a great fortune in his twenties, ranking among the richest in the country.

It was said that numerous women around the world wanted to marry Jin Xun, even people in the capital wanted to marry off their daughters to Jin. For some reason, Jin Xun didn’t get married yet nor took a concubine.

Su Qingyue had heard these rumors about Jin Xun, too.

Su Qingyue looked at Xiao Qinghe, knowing that the boy was overthinking things, “Let’s go in together, fourth brother.”

“No,” he said, “There are steps, and it would be inconvenient for me to go inside with my wheelchair. I’ll just wait here for you.”

Su Qingyue went through Jin Residence’s main gate with an empty carrying pole. Qinghe thought she had gone inside, but she only put the two baskets inside the gate and came back.

“Fourth brother, let me carry you inside.” Without waiting for his response, she squatted in front of him, pulled both of his hands onto her arms, put her hands under his buttocks, and walked toward the gate of Jin’s Mansion.

Both passersby on the street and the two guards watching the gate saw a big man being carried by a little girl and sneered.

“Qingyue…” Xiao Qinghe blushed and said, “Don’t do this…”

She asked with a laugh, “Fourth brother, what do you want me not to do? Do you want me to go and have tea inside Big Boss Jin’s house and leave you alone outside to be roasted in the sun?”

“But…”

“There’s no ‘but’.” She said, “We’re family, and we are in this together, for better or for worse. Furthermore, I believe that Boss Jin wouldn’t mind my being with you.”

Su Qingyue said to the two guards, “My fourth brother is disabled in both legs, and your mansion has steps. Could you please help me bring his wheelchair over the threshold?”

Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and very sincere.

Not the least bit ashamed or hiding the fact that Qinghe has a disability.

Candid enough to be admired.

Initially, the two guards sneered at Qinghe with disdain. But upon hearing Su Qingyue’s words, their eyes became respectful.

The two men helped Xiao Qinghe carry his wheelchair into the gate.

Su Qingyue let Xiao Qinghe sit back in his wheelchair, then turned to Ji and said, “I left my baskets by the door, is that all right? It wouldn’t look good for me to walk around Boss Jin’s courtyard with an empty carrying pole. If you think it would be unsightly to other guests, you can have someone remove the baskets.”

Ji said, “I’ll have it removed first. When you leave later, I’ll have it brought to the gate for you.”

She nodded.

After Ji had a servant take the baskets away, he said to Su Qingyue, “Please follow me…”

She followed, and since the courtyard was level, the wheelchair moved smoothly. So she didn’t help push the wheelchair but walked side by side with Xiao Qinghe.

The Mansion’s courtyard was vast, exquisite craftsmanship could be seen everywhere, with luxuriant trees and plants. A pond with crystal clear water stretched before them, with an artificial hill of grotesque rocks in the middle, where a stream flowed down. Fish swam freely inside the water.
