The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Li Gui nodded. In fact, he thought she was worth more than fifty taels, but he couldn’t say that for fear the Xiao Family would raise the price. He thought fifty taels would be enough to buy her from the Xiao family.

Xiao Yuchuan was annoyed. “Li Gui, you were there the other day. Didn’t you hear me say I wouldn’t sell my wife for any amount of money? Who told you to come here?”

Xiao Yishan looked at Su Qingyue with heartache, “Yue’er, don’t be afraid. No matter the price, second brother will never sell you or let anyone sell you. It’s my fault for not controlling third brother, causing this to happen.” Seeing the seriousness on second brother’s face, Su Qingyue said, “Second brother, fifty taels is a lot of money. Old lady Liu only offered seventeen taels. Maybe you should sell me.”

Li Gui was not short on money, and her running to the Li family would not be the Xiao family’s concern. This way, the Xiao Family would get the money, and she could repay their gratitude.

Xiao Yishan’s heart ached as he looked at his wife’s calm face, “Yue’er, listen to me. Even if it cost me my life, I would never sell you.” His fierce gaze shot towards Xiao Yuchuan, “Third brother, this is all your fault! I told you not to think about selling Yue’er, but you didn’t listen. Now Li Gui is here to buy her!”

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t know at that time that he would cherish his wife so much; he just really disliked his previous wife, and that’s why he wanted to sell her.

“1…”

Slap! He slapped himself and looked at Su Qingyue with regret. “Wife, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I swear, even if I sold myself, I would never sell you!”

He took the silver bag from her hand and pushed it back into Li Gui’s hand, shoving him out. “Take your money and get lost! No matter how much you offer, I won’t sell my wife!”

Li Gui stumbled back a few steps and insisted, “Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. With that, you could buy two lower-quality women. Or even purchase a beautiful woman with an extra ten to twenty taels…”

“Why don’t you buy two women instead of trying to take my wife!” Xiao Yuchuan glared, “I said I won’t sell, can’t you understand that!”

He kept pushing him out.

Li Gui, not giving up, turned to Xiao Yishan. “Second Brother Xiao, if it’s a matter of price, we can still negotiate…”

“Even if I sold my third brother, I wouldn’t sell Yue’er.” Xiao Yishan said with a

serious face, “Li Gui, I respect you as a man who has read some books and is courteous. But if the Xiao Family’s men sell their wives, how can we still have the face to live in this world? Please leave. If you don’t, don’t blame me for being rude!”

At this point, Li Gui knew that the people of the Xiao Family were determined not to sell, so he pushed Xiao Yuchuan back, “I don’t need you to push me, I can leave on my own.”

He reluctantly glanced at Su Qingyue, flicked his sleeve, and left in annoyance. Xiao Yuchuan looked at Su Qingyue, “Wife…”

But Su Qingyue’s gaze was on Xiao Yishan, “Second brother, you are a good man, so dignified!” Even though he wasn’t her husband, he still protected her after she entered the Xiao Family.

She could not defile such a good man.

Second brother respected Li Gui, who was only half-illiterate and had only read for a few years. She, a modern person who had read N years more than Li Gui, respected second brother even more, “Second brother, you are truly admirable to scholars.”

“…” Xiao Yishan didn’t know how to react to her serious tone. He preferred his wife to be more lively and didn’t want her to show such formal respect.

Xiao Yuchuan, feeling ignored, pulled on her sleeve with a sullen face, “Wife, at least look at me..”
