The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Li Gui’s face lit up with joy, ‘You agree?”

Su Qingyue cast a glance at his handsome eyebrows and eyes.

He seemed a bit refined, like Xiao Yuchuan – both were of the handsome and elegant type. However, he wasn’t as sunny and bright as Yuchuan or as pure and clear as the fourth brother.

She, on the contrary, felt that he was indeed handsome, but he seemed somewhat sinister and mysterious.

Although Su Qingyue was not a good person herself, she didn’t have any objections to Li Gui’s mischief. She just felt that Li Gui was…

As for Yuchuan, she didn’t find him reliable, purely because he was glib-tongued and very good at amusing others.

Li Gui..

This man didn’t give her any sense of security.

“What about afterward?” She asked instead of answering.

“What about the Xiao Family’s three sons?” Li Gui thought about it, “I can find someone to temporarily take care of them, even offering them food for free. Once they are better, they’ll have one hundred taels of silver at hand – a profit.”

“A profit your ass!” Xiao Yuchuan became so angry that his neck veins bulged, “I already said it, even if you give more money, I won’t sell my wife! Can’t you understand human language? If I could get off this bed right now, I would beat half your life out!”

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe were so angry that they couldn’t speak.

Li Gui became annoyed too, “You would beat half my life out? You are barely functioning now! It’s still uncertain whether you’ll fully recover or not. If you are a man, don’t hold back Su Qingyue and let her have a good life with me!”

“Only when I’m dead!” The four words squeezed out from the gaps in Xiao Yuchuan’s teeth. He knew Li Gui, the stinky kid, was openly snatching people. He hated that he couldn’t move and couldn’t protect his wife.

Su Qingyue lowered her gaze and swept a quick glance at Li Gui’s palm held on her wrist, “Let go.”

Two icy words.

Li Gui inexplicably felt his body shuddering from the cold and released her.

“What do you like about me?” She was a bit puzzled, It better not be her appearance; in the village these past days, she had also met many people, and probably among the younger generation, she was the least attractive. How could she compete with a face full of pus sores?

Li Gui was indeed taken aback by the question, thought carefully about it, “I like your temperament and how you always protect the Xiao Family no matter what. When I look for a wife, I want someone who pleases my eyes and wholeheartedly considers my Li Family’s best interests.” Moreover, her figure was becoming more and more alluring. At the end, he added, “In the Xiao Family, you’ll be nothing but a workhorse all your life. Why not come with me and enjoy the good life?”

With that said,

Xiao Yishan’s heart became much calmer. Although he still felt heartache for Yue’er, Li Gui’s family had better conditions, more fields, and Li Gui himself was handsome and well-read. Compared to the Xiao Family’s men, he was more worthy of Yue’er.

Following him would indeed make Yue’errs life much better than in the Xiao Family. To ensure Yue’er’s happiness, he couldn’t stand in the way of it…

Yet his heart ached even more…

Xiao Qinghe bowed his head, his eyes filled with faint hints of tears. He couldn’t bear to part with his wife…

“Li Gui, if you want to take my wife away, kill me first!” Xiao Yuchuan also understood that his wife would be better off with Li Gui than in the Xiao Family. However, the idea of his wife leaving made his heart ache so much that he felt he was dying, “Wife, I, Xiao Yuchuan, am selfish. I won’t let you go, even if you’d have a good life after leaving. I absolutely will not allow it!”

She looked at him, his face turning pale from anger, and asked viciously, “What if I must go?”

Xiao Yuchuan clenched his teeth and said fiercely, “As long as I’m not dead.. If you two don’t kill me today, once I recover, I will kill both of you, this adulterous couple!”
