The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

He shook his head no.

Qingyue didn’t look at Second Brother, but looked suspiciously at Third Brother, “Would this petty cat of yours not ask?”

Xiao Yuchuan felt hurt, “Wife, in your heart, am I that greedy? The money is earned by you. As a man, it’s already shameful enough that I can’t support the family. How much money my wife earns, I rush to ask, am I still a man?”

“All right.” She nodded.

He straightened her little head, “Don’t nod indiscriminately. What are you so happy about?”

She honestly said, “You said you’re not a man, I agreed, and then I nodded…”

“Su Qingyue…” He was so angry that his teeth itched, “Do you want to piss me off to death?”

“You didn’t die from being pissed off.”

He huffed and said, “Stretch your face over, let me pinch it flat.”

She covered her face, “I have a scab on my face that can’t be pinched!”

He did look closely at her face full of scabs, “Wife, I think the scabs on your face are almost dry. Why don’t I help you tear them off?”

“No, can’t tear it off.” She shook her head, “Need to wait for it to fall off naturally, otherwise it will hurt the new delicate skin growing under my scab!”

“The delicate skin…” Xiao Yuchuan shook his head, “I’m almost scared to death by your face full of scabs!”

“Then you hurry up and die.”

“Hmph.” He sat there seriously, “I won’t die, I’ll live to annoy you.”

“All right, Third Brother, don’t always pick on Yue’er.” Xiao Yishan scolded.

Yuchuan didn’t say anything.

Su Qingyue also began to count the money seriously, “I sold ninety-five jin of braised pork intestine in town. Among them, fifty jin sold for eighteen cents each, for a total of 900 cents. The other forty-five jin sold for twenty cents each, also earning 900 cents. I had pre-ordered 100 jin of fresh pig’s large intestine to be sold to Rich Source Tavern at seven cents per jin, adding up to 700 cents, plus the twenty-cent deposit to get back. The small change made a total of 2520 cents, which is equal to 800 cents for one tael of silver, so the total is three taels and one hundred and fifteen cents. I earned 300 taels for selling the braised pig’s large intestine recipe, spent twenty-four taels on a carriage purchase, and spent 8 cents on steamed buns. Now there are still two hundred seventy-nine taels and one hundred twelve cents left.”

As she said this, she spread two one hundred taels silver notes among the copper coins and loose silver on the table, “Originally there were three one hundred taels silver notes, but one was broken into change when buying the carriage.”

Xiao Yuchuan stared at the money on the table, “Wife, so much money, I’ve never seen so much money.”

Xiao Yishan couldn’t help but take another look at the money on the table. Many families couldn’t earn that much money in several lifetimes, “Yue’er, a braised pig’s large intestine recipe shouldn’t be worth three hundred taels of silver, right?”

Xiao Qinghe was there at that time and said, “Yes, Qingyue, I think the shopkeeper of Rich Source Tavern didn’t intend to buy it at such a high price…”

She laughed, “That’s right, just when Jin Xun, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, had sent a servant looking for me, I fooled Manager Duan of the Rich Source Tavern into thinking that Jin Xun also had his eye on the braised pork intestine recipe and was willing to pay three hundred taels, which he wouldn’t offer…”

Then she recounted the process of deception.

Xiao Yuchuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, “Wife, with such a high price of three hundred taels, you really dare to ask.”
