The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

His comment is actually a popular line from a modern film. However, even if he said it unintentionally, he wouldn’t be able to understand it.

“Wife, you should eat more meat.” After Xiao Yuchuan ate another piece of snake meat, he shook his head, “I’m fine with just the mushrooms, you eat the meat.”

“I’ve already arranged the portions. Snake meat is nutritious, everyone in our family needs nutrition now, and everyone can each have sufficient portions. Stop with all the unnecessary talk.”

Xiao Yuchuan was so touched that he felt like crying, “Wife, I’ve never eaten such good food in my life.”

“After we’ve made more money, I’ll make sure you live a comfortable life,” Su Qingyue replied casually.

Something gripped Xiao Yuchuan’s heart, a warm feeling started spreading from the depths of his heart, causing his eyes to redden, “Wife…”

Seeing his emotional face, Su Qingyue coldly said, “Didn’t I tell you not to be so dramatic? If you keep this up, I’m throwing you out.”

“Heh… you wouldn’t dare.” Xiao Yuchuan grinned, “If you were really going to throw me out, you would have done it yesterday, not waited till today.”

After hearing his wife’s promises to Yuchuan, Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yishan felt a mix of envy and loss.

Seeing their reactions, Su Qingyue added somewhat awkwardly, “And second Brother Xiao and fourth Brother, when I have money in the future, I’ll make sure you all have a good life too.”

The two brothers remained silent, feeling that this promise was not the same as the one she made to Yuchuan.

“Is second Brother Xiao home?” Li Gui shouted at the entrance of the courtyard. Even though it sounded like a question, it was more of an affirmation. ‘May I come in?”

Xiao Yuchuan yelled back, “No, you may not!” He was already in a rivalry with Li Gui over who was more handsome in the village, and now the man was trying to steal his wife and even dared to visit. He felt like telling him to drop dead!

Despite this, Li Gui approached the master bedroom without caring, noticing the drying mushrooms in the yard along the way. He remembered hearing from Mrs. Zhang that Su Qingyue had picked many mushrooms, so it turned out to be true.

Upon entering the room and seeing Su Qingyue feeding Xiao Yuchuan, Li Gui’s expression hardened, “Xiao Yuchuan, how old are you? Still making Qingyue feed you?”

“I’m only two years older than you. What’s it to you if my wife likes to feed me?

It’s none of your business! Don’t call her by her name so casually, my wife doesn’t Know you tnat well!” Xiao yucnuan snouted angrily, “Get out ot my house!”

“I’m not leaving, what can you do about it?” Li Gui looked at Su Qingyue’s delicate figure, a hint of pity appearing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Su Qingyue continued to feed Xiao Yuchuan the stir-fried mushrooms, one spoonful at a time.

Xiao Yishan courteously asked, “Li Gui, what brings you here?”

Li Gui took out a bag of silver from his sleeve pocket, “All three of you brothers have fallen sick, I came to help.” He spoke straightforwardly.

Their faces hardened at the same time.

Xiao Yuchuan swallowed the mouthful of mushrooms, his anger flaring,

“Didn’t I tell you not to bring silver here again!”

“Again?” Su Qingyue was a bit confused. She knew that ‘again’ must be referring to something other than the time when Li Gui wanted to buy her.

Seeing the confusion in his wife’s eyes, Yuchuan explained, “When you went out to sell medicinal mud toothpaste, Li Gui came by once before Granny Sun came to collect the debt. He brought ten taels of silver and wanted to lend them to us, but the second Brother Xiao, third Brother and I all refused. In case we’re really short of money, I’d rather mortgage the house than owe him any favors! ”

Li Gui’s intention was all too obvious. He wanted his wife, and if he owed him this favor, he’d never be able to repay it in his lifetime. Rather than that, it would be better to live comfortably in a mountain cave..
