Chapter 353 Going to the Dai Family Again 2

"If you feel bad about it, we can prepare some medicine for the old man and the others privately when we get back, as a small token of our appreciation."

After listening to Dai Xingyun's words, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that they made some sense, so she hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Seeing this, Dai Xingyun took the money handed over by the old man, and then said with a smile to the old men, "Then I will thank you all on behalf of Xiaoxiao."

Seeing this, the other old men also happily took out money from their pockets and handed it to Dai Xingyun.

Looking at the thick stack of ten-yuan notes in Dai Xingyun's hand, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say with some concern, "Isn't this too much..."

Dai Xingyun quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, you deserve all of this. You've given them so much time and effort, this money is just a small reward."

After saying that, Dai Xingyun gently patted Shen Xiaoxiao's hand, and then stuffed the large stack of banknotes into Shen Xiaoxiao's bag.

The old men watched all of this with smiles on their faces.

Just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

A middle-aged woman's eyes gleamed, and she immediately spoke, "Isn't this speculation? Making so much money," a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Dai Xingyun immediately looked over and met the gaze of the middle-aged woman.

“Aunt Liu, you can’t just say things like that,” Dai Xingyun said calmly and firmly.

Aunt Liu, however, disagreed. Her expression was somewhat disdainful as she continued, "Xiao Dai, Aunt Liu isn't making this up. Ten yuan for a single plaster? Selling it at such an exorbitant price, isn't that just speculation?"

Dai Xingyun frowned and explained, "Aunt Liu, you may not understand the cost and efficacy of this plaster."

"This is not an ordinary plaster. It has been carefully researched and formulated and has a very good therapeutic effect on some ailments."

Aunt Liu was not buying it. She insisted on her point of view: "I don't care what you say, I think this is speculation and profiteering. They said it was a gift but then took money from me."

Just then, Old Master Qin, who had been standing to the side, finally couldn't contain his anger and roared with a furious expression.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Didn't your old man Zhang use this plaster too? I saw him yesterday, and he told me personally that he felt much better after using it and was even planning to buy some more!"

Aunt Liu clearly disagreed with what Grandpa Qin said, but she didn't dare to refute him.

She could only pout and mutter a quiet rebuttal, "It can't possibly be that expensive!"

"Expensive? What do you know!" Old Master Qin's voice grew even louder. "You have no idea what kind of suffering we old men have to endure every day!"

"These plasters at least allow us to get a good night's sleep. They are such precious things to us! Besides, we didn't ask you to buy them because they're too expensive! We don't even have enough for ourselves."

Grandpa Wang, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and angrily interjected, "That's right! Besides, the little girl originally didn't want to accept money. We were the ones who suggested the price of 10 yuan per set! If you think it's too expensive, you can simply not pay. No one is forcing you!"

Aunt Liu was speechless after hearing what Grandpa Wang said. She didn't dare to say another word and, like a defeated rooster, turned and ran away in a sorry state.

As Shen Xiaoxiao watched Aunt Liu's departing figure, her heart was filled with gratitude. She said to Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Wang with emotion, "Thank you, grandpas, for speaking up for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"We're just telling the truth, so don't be so polite! You're here to visit the family today, aren't you?"

"We've kept you waiting for so long, hurry up and go in!" Old Master Qin said with a smile, his kind face making everyone feel incredibly welcome.

Shen Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, politely replying, "Okay, Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Wang, and all the grandpas, we'll go in now, and we'll chat again later!" With that, she waved goodbye to everyone.

Watching Shen Xiaoxiao's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "This young lady is really something! If she weren't Dai Xiaozi's boyfriend, I would really like to introduce my son to her!" His words revealed his fondness for Shen Xiaoxiao.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Wang quickly reminded him, "Keep your voice down, don't let Dai hear you, or he'll be angry with you, old man! You're obviously trying to steal him away!"

Grandpa Wang looked at Grandpa Qin with a helpless expression, finding his joke both funny and exasperating.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin laughed heartily, dismissing the joke, and quickly explained, "Haha, I was just joking, you actually took it seriously!"

"I quite like that kid Dai too, why would I steal his girlfriend?" His laughter echoed in the air, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

"Xingyun, we accepted so much money in front of so many people. Although we just shut that Aunt Liu up, there are definitely still people who have other ideas," Shen Xiaoxiao said with a worried expression.

Dai Xingyun smiled slightly and comforted her, "Just accept it without worry, leave the rest to me."

"This is a compound where everyone knows each other, so there won't be any major trouble." His tone was full of confidence, as if everything was under his control.

Shen Xiaoxiao was still a little worried. She held Dai Xingyun's arm tightly and instructed him, "If anything happens, you must tell me. Don't bear it all alone."

Dai Xingyun gently patted Chen Xiaoxiao's hand and said tenderly, "Okay, I promise you. We're here, let's go in!" As he spoke, he reached for the key to open the door.

Just as he was about to insert the key into the lock, the door was suddenly opened.

Dai Xingyu opened the door. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao with a big smile and excitedly exclaimed, "Brother, you're back! This must be your sister-in-law, she's so beautiful!"

"Yes, this is your sister-in-law, Shen Xiaoxiao." Dai Xingyun introduced her to her sister with a smile, then turned to Shen Xiaoxiao and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, this is my sister. She wasn't home when you came to our house last time; she was visiting relatives."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Dai Xingyu with a hint of shyness and said softly, "Hello!" Her voice revealed a trace of restraint.

Upon seeing this, Dai Xingyu immediately went up to her warmly, smiling as she put her arm around Chen Xiaoxiao's arm and said affectionately, "Sister-in-law, hello! My mom has mentioned you before, and I've always wanted to meet you. I'm so happy to finally meet you today!"
