The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 334: 334 Little bastard has come.

Thinking of her repeated rejections, he felt depressed but hung on to her more.

He silently watched her thin figure, carrying a heavy basket and a vegetable basket, washing vegetables in the cold river water late at night.

A touch of pity lingered in his heart.

As her gaze met his, even from a distance, he felt that her eyes were so bright that they could pierce his heart.

“Su Qingyue…” he called her from the other side of the river.

Her movement of washing the fern paused for a moment, then continued.

“Don’t you think you’re living a bitter life now?” he started to stand up for her, “If you follow me, your misery will end. I can buy a maid to serve you.”

She seemed not to hear and increased her speed in washing the vegetables.

“What is wrong with me?” his tone grew a little angry, “Would you rather be a laborer for the Xiao Family than be with me?”

She ignored him, finished washing a basket of fern, and then started washing garlic and radishes.

“Su Qingyue, please give me an answer…” he persisted from the other side, raising his voice.

Only when she finished washing the vegetables, she replied coldly, “I don’t like you.”

He stiffened, unable to withstand the blow, “You say you don’t like me? Do you know how many women in the village, even the neighboring village, are eager to marry me? It’s your fortune that I am interested in you with your looks!”

She turned a deaf ear and walked home carrying the basket and vegetable basket.

He walked in the same direction on the other side of the river, shouting at her,

“Su Qingyue, don’t be ungrateful!”

People in the distance who were getting up early to work in the fields heard Li Gui’s voice and looked over, “Isn’t that Li Gui? What were you just saying?” “It’s nothing…” Li Gui said with a gloomy expression.

The person continued, “The wife of the Xiao Family is up so early too…”

Since Li Gui and Su Qingyue were separated by the river, others didn’t associate the two together.

Li Gui didn’t chase after her because others were around, but his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Halfway, Su Qingyue found a little shadow, not much larger than a palm, running towards her, making “awoo awoo” milk cries.

It was the little bastard.

She put down the basket first, then supported the little bastard’s small body with one hand, “Little thing, how did you come out?”

“Awooo…” the little milk dog whimpered, its eyes watery and pitiful. “You came out to find me, didn’t you?” her tone was certain.

The little bastard licked her cold hand to please her.

She put it back down on the ground, carrying the vegetable basket with one hand and the rope of the basket with the other, and continued to walk home.

The little bastard followed behind her, dragging an injured dog leg.

Entering the Xiao Family’s courtyard, from the open window of the master bedroom, she saw the three brothers leaning against the wall on the bed, stretching their necks to look towards the window.

All three had worried expressions on their faces. They must have been concerned since she left in the middle of the night.

“I’m fine. Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you can sleep for a while longer.” After saying that, she went into the kitchen, and when she was putting down the basket, the little bastard followed too closely and was nearly crushed by it.

She pushed it a little farther away, “Get back, if the basket of several dozen jin crushes you, it will surely flatten your little ‘mouse’ body.”

“Awooo…awooo…” the little bastard cried pitifully and rubbed itself against her leg..
