The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Third and fourthbrothers can’t get off the bed yet.

She picked up a willow twig about the size of a chopstick and was about to fetch water when the second brother handed her some with a wooden ladle.

She hesitated before taking it, “Second brother, you don’t have to do this.”

She thought to herself, he’s not her husband, so there’s no need for him to be so considerate.

“It’s necessary,” he said with an indifferent tone.

“It’s not necessary,” she corrected him immediately. What kind of second uncle helps the wife fetch water like this? If people saw, it would be very embarrassing.

Yishan thought she was just being shy.

She bit one end of the twig, dipped it into the pot of medicinal paste, and took the ladle of water to the fence in the yard to clean her teeth.

Xiao Yishan followed her, “Yue’er, let me go with you to town…”

She shook her head.

After cleaning her teeth, she took out two taels of silver from her sleeve pocket and placed it on the kitchen table, “Second brother, you can use some money if the family needs it.”

“Keep it for yourself,” he said.

“It’s fine, if you have it, you can use it. Our household has no land, vegetables must be bought constantly.”

Xiao Yishan accepted the money, “Yue’er, is this all our family has? Keep some to use in town.”

“I still have 300 cents, that’s enough.” She actually had another eight taels of private money that she had extorted from Li Gui but hadn’t reported.

Xiao Yishan handed her back one tael of silver, ‘Yue’er, leave one tael of silver at home, and use the other to buy a bronze mirror.”

Su Qingyue looked at him with a touched expression, “Second brother…”

He looked slightly embarrassed on his rugged face, “I always see you looking at your reflection in the water tub. A woman can’t be without a mirror. Get one.” “Okay.” Since the second brother was being so thoughtful, she didn’t decline.

“Do you want to sell some of the dried fish and mushrooms in town that you preserved earlier? He asked.

She thought for a moment, “Let’s wait for a while. When it’s cold and fish are hard to catch, and mushrooms can’t be found, we can sell them at better prices.”

“Alright,” Xiao Yishan nodded.

“I’m going to town now.” Su Qingyue said, then to Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yuchuan, “Third brother, Fourth brother, I’m going to town, do you need anything? I’ll bring it back.”

Xiao Qinghe shook his head.

Yuchuan thought of his wife talking about stealing men last night, although he knew it was a joke, it still bothered him, “Wife, You’re going for a walk, right? Take me with you, it’s not like you have anything else to do.” I’ll keep an eye on you and see how you steal men.”

She helplessly replied, “You’re too heavy. I can’t carry you.” People who lie on the bed all day can eat a lot, always have four or five bowls each meal, never missing one. He is like a bottomless pit, carrying him must be heavier than carrying over 100 jin on a pole.

“You managed to carry me on the rainy day.”

“I don’t want to carry you anymore, is that not allowed?”

He grinned, showing his bright white teeth, and immediately said, “No need to carry, you can just help me.”

“If you can crawl, then crawl by yourself.” She said calmly, “Let me make it clear, I’m not walking there, I’m riding a cow’s car. You have all the time in the world since you don’t have kids, you can slowly crawl to town. It will take you ten to fifteen days to crawl there, losing all your flesh along the way..”
