The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Just now, I wasn’t really trying to take control of the money. In fact, the money in the family has always been managed by my second brother. He reached out to take it, just to tease her.

Seeing her indifferent expression, his heart, which loved her, was hurt. “Wife, I didn’t really want your money…”

She stretched out her hand, her palm opened in front of him, “Give back the five cents you took last night…”

“I won’t return that money.” It was the first thing his wife ever gave him, even if it was money, he cherished it very much.

“You greedy ghost!” she scolded in anger. “You won’t let go of five cents, let alone fifty taels! You’d sell me for that!”

“Wife…” he said with a grievance, “I liked the money because it was yours.” Was it wrong to like the five cents she touched? “Li Gui offered one hundred taels to buy you, I didn’t sell you. You say fifty taels is only half the price, how could I possibly sell you for that.”

“I forgot Li Gui had offered one hundred taels of silver before.” She nodded, “It’s a good thing I wasn’t sold for one hundred taels back then, otherwise, I

would have lost these fifty taels I earned. Now if he still wants to buy me, it doesn’t matter if you sell me.”

“Yue’er!” Xiao Yishan couldn’t listen to her anymore, “Don’t talk nonsense.

Second brother said he wouldn’t sell you even if he had to sell third brother.”

“Second brother…” her face was full of emotion, “Every time I hear you say this, my heart feels so elated!”

“Humph!” Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly.

“No one in the family is more important than Qingyue,” said Xiao Qinghe, who usually didn’t express his opinions. “Without Qingyue, second brother and third brother might have…”

“Yes,” Xiao Yishan’s bearded face was full of seriousness, “Yue’er is the Xiao family’s savior.”

“Second brother, don’t say that.” She didn’t claim all the credit for herself, “If it weren’t for me owing six taels of silver, second brother wouldn’t have to go hunting so desperately, and might not have been bitten by a poisonous snake, or broken his leg. If you hadn’t owed the six taels for me, there would be money to treat third brother if he were to fall ill.”

“Yue’er, the fact that you saved me and third brother cannot be denied,” Xiao Yishan said to her, with a touch of respect.

“My wife is too modest,” Xiao Yuchuan stared at her with an ambiguous gaze, “You saved your husband, and he swears to repay you with his life …”

“I don’t want that.” She refused.

“I do! I’ve sworn in my heart, I want you, I want you for a lifetime!” he said with deep emotion.

Su Qingyue was speechless, “Xiao Yuchuan, how can you say such cheesy words?”

“I said it with my mouth. How else would I say it, with my buttocks?”

Her face darkened, “Stop mentioning buttocks, you vulgar fellow! ”

“Wife, you’re wronging me,” he pointed at his own buttocks, “Look, my buttocks are below my waist, not on my mouth.” Su Qingyue was speechless, “Just shut up.”

“Okay.” He was unusually obedient.

After Su Qingyue cleaned up the breakfast bowls and chopsticks on the table and put them in the vegetable basket, she said, “We ran out of brown rice at home. The only thing left are the salty, sun-dried fish from a few days ago. If the rice I bought in town doesn’t arrive by noon, I plan to go to Aunt Zhang’s house to buy a few kilograms of rice and some vegetables.”

“You decide.” Xiao Yishan wanted to give her money.

“The hundred cents I have are enough,” she said, “There’s no need for extra.” “Just tell me whenever you need money,” Xiao Yishan reminded her.

“Okay,” she also gave instructions, “Second brother, don’t overthink things, and take good care of your leg injury. If you get up again in the next ten days, you will definitely become disabled. Even I won’t be able to help you. If you really go lame…the consequences….”
