The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Everyone began to feel uneasy, thinking that they were somehow tricked by Su Qingyue earlier without giving it much thought. They all clamored to return their purchases.

Su Qingyue was quite annoyed. What a joke, returning the goods they had bought? They should at least make it clear in what situation they could return the goods. Ancient people were much harder to deal with than modern people. At least in modern times, no one would return toothpaste bought from a street-side shop or supermarket.

She could have refused to accept the returns as well.

Looking at the posture of these villagers, if she didn’t accept the returns, they would all get angry. and a fight would be unavoidable today-

With her skills, she was not worried about dealing with them all, but since the Xiao family still had to live in the village, there was no need to make things so tense.

She gave a cold glance at the woman who instigated the returns.

She had seen this woman by the river bank before. She was the cousin of Liu Xianglian, who had a crush on Xiao Yuchuan, and she had heard others call her Liu Xiaohong.

No wonder she was causing trouble.

Returning the goods was absolutely not an option; otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough money left. It’s getting dark, and the creditor will come knocking. If she doesn’t get five taels of silver, she’ll really have to rob someone.

Although Su Qingyue hadn’t planned on being a good person in this life, she still wanted to be a half-decent one. If she didn’t have to steal money, she wouldn’t.

Feeling frustrated internally, Su Qingyue maintained a cheerful demeanor on the surface. She could tell from the expressions of the people that Qian Family’s sister-in-law was least willing to return the purchases. Su Qingyue picked up the five packs of medicinal mud from her hand, “Alright, if you want a return, then I’ll give you a return. I’d rather you all return the goods.”

She pointed to the copper coins in the basket, “Everyone, look. The money I just collected is all in the basket. It’s only a little over a hundred cents. I’m not good at accounting, and I thought I could collect a lot of money. The cost of this jar of medicinal paste is several taels of silver, and I only realized after selling it that I earned a little over a hundred cents. The cost is so high, I’m going to die from the loss. If I had known that the selling price would be this low, I would never have sold it. Hurry up, return, return, line up to return!”

As she said this, she counted out eight cents and handed it back to Qian Family’s sister-in-law, “Other people’s two packs for four cents, your five packs for eight cents. I’m returning it at the original price. I’m losing so much… ”

Upon hearing this, Qian Family’s sister-in-law didn’t take the money, but instead took back the five packs of medicinal mud, ‘Wait a minute, I haven’t decided whether to return it or not…”

Su Qingyue made a pitiful expression, “I know that you all don’t trust my character.” She pointed at Liu Xiaohong, “But can you trust her words? Liu Xiaohong is Liu Xianglian’s cousin, and since Liu Xianglian is at odds with me, her cousin naturally helps Liu Xianglian slander me.”

“Who’s slandering you?” Liu Xiaohong became defensive, ‘You stole eight taels of silver from the Xiao family and also stole steamed buns in town. Everyone knows this…’

“I did steal before. I won’t deny that I stole money and buns.” Su Qingyue’s face was full of remorse, “But that’s all in the past. Don’t tell me nonsense like ‘once a thief, always a thief’. The ancient saying goes, ‘one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father’. There’s a saying that a prodigal son who turns over a new leaf is worth his weight in gold, and a wayward woman who reforms deserves a glance. Although I, Su Qingyue, am not a prodigal child or a wayward woman, I have turned over a new leaf and started anew.”

From a remorseful expression, she became even more sincere, “Think about it, everyone. Qian Family’s sister-in-law has tried the toothpaste. If my medicinal mud toothpaste were poisonous, would she still be standing here?”

She pointed to herself, “Besides, I’ve been using the medicinal mud toothpaste for several days now, and I’m still standing just fine,” she grinned wide, “Look, my teeth are getting whiter and whiter.. Does anyone see any issues with me?”
