The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 539: 539

After hearing that, the villagers laughed and shook their heads. The Zhu Family really had no fortune. Four hundred taels of silver would be enough to live worry-free for a lifetime.

“Dashan, your family must be really lucky.” Li Wangcai, who also came to join the fun, said, “To buy a wife and have her make so much money for your family; your wife is incredible.” He didn’t dare to mention that she had scammed him for money as well since he had also scammed Zhu Nengwen.

“Isn’t it?” Everyone chimed in, saying that Su Qingyue was capable of earning money, but she was just a bit ugly-looking.

Ding Er, who wasn’t very serious, glanced at Su Qingyue entering the kitchen: “So, who do you think is the favorite man of the wife of the Xiao Family?.”

“No need to say, it must be Chuan.” Li Wangcai laughed, “In the Xiao Family, only Chuan’s mouth is the most eloquent, and he’s handsome.”

“Well, not entirely …” Ding Er looked at Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair, “The wife of the Xiao Family bought such an expensive wheelchair for Qinghe; she’s obviously biased …”

“I think she likes Chuan …”

“Chuan is much older than Su Qingyue, seven years older! Qinghe is younger, so it’s likely she prefers someone her age like Qinghe …”

“Based on what you’re saying, Second Brother Xiao is … ten years older than Su Qingyue… Doesn’t that mean Su Qingyue….” Someone was about to say that.

Ding Er whispered, “Let me tell you, Dashan hasn’t even ‘touched’ his wife yet …”

“No way…” The villagers who were listening with their ears perked up were all astonished. Someone else said, “Could it be that there’s something wrong with Dashan…? He looks as strong as a mountain but might be incapable in that regard …”

“No, it’s said that Su Qingyue can’t stand him because he ruined her appearance …”

They were all chattering.

Xiao Qinghe frowned.

Xiao Yishan’s face turned dark when he heard them, and he shouted, “All of you, shut up!”

The yard was full of noises.

After Su Qingyue entered the kitchen, she closed the door. She had sweat all over her body, so she decided to wipe herself down with a basin of water. With the door closed, she didn’t hear what the people in the yard were saying.

She wiped her body with a wet cloth, and it felt much cooler.

As soon as she opened the kitchen door, she heard Second Brother’s angry roar.

“What happened?” She asked aloud.

The villagers didn’t dare to say that she despised Xiao Yishan in front of her, so they didn’t want to offend anyone and didn’t say anything. The excitement was enough, and many people left one after another.

Xiao Yishan drove them away, “All of you, get out!”

Seeing Xiao Yishan’s fierce and ferocious demeanor, the rest of them left with dissatisfaction on their faces.

Zhu Nengwen, who left last, glanced at Su Qingyue resentfully and left the Xiao Family’s courtyard.

Now that the outsiders were gone, the atmosphere in the yard was a bit tense.

Su Qingyue asked again, “What happened?”

Xiao Yuchuan changed the subject, “Wife, did you and Fourth Brother have lunch yet?”

“Yes, we did.” She nodded. They had eaten steamed buns in town.

Xiao Qinghe picked up two empty bamboo baskets from the horse-drawn cart and said, “I’ll take them to the storage room.” Holding the ropes of the two baskets in one hand and steering the wheelchair with the other, he went to the storage room.

No one spoke up, and Su Qingyue wasn’t a curious person either. She poured out the water she’d used to wipe her body and went back into the kitchen.

As soon as she put down the washbasin, Xiao Yishan’s tall figure followed her in, pressing her against the door panel with a forceful embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her tender lips.

Her eyes widened, “Uh … Second Brother, what … what are you doing …”

She tried to push him away, but he held her tightly.
