The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 901 - : Why did 901 take Li Gui’s money?

Chapter 901: Why did 901 take Li Gui’s money?

“Then why did he still give you ten taels of silver?” Xiao Yishan asked about the odd part.

“How would I know?” she said indifferently, “He must have his reasons. It was agreed as hush money anyway, and I had already taken eight taels, so taking another two today doesn’t bother me. That rascal Li Gui must be up to no good at Hanging Neck Mountain, something he doesn’t dare let others find out about.”

“Is that so.” Xiao Yishan was noncommittal.

Looking at his expression, he didn’t trust her.

Su Qingyue felt a surge of disappointment. Although she harbored no romantic feelings for her second brother and didn’t expect such a trivial matter over ten taels of silver to breed mistrust, it still pained her for a second; but after that second, she couldn’t care less.

A while later, a voice came from outside the courtyard, “Wife, wife, are you at home?”

Xiao Yuchuan’s voice arrived before he did.

“I’m here.” Su Qingyue responded.

Xiao Yuchuan entered with his head down from outside the door, “Wife, I’m back.”

“You’re speaking a bit unclearly; you haven’t been beaten, have you?” Qingyue asked.

Xiao Yuchuan nodded honestly.

Su Qingyue saw him keeping his head down, “What do you look like after the beating? Lift up your head and let me see.”

He whispered, “You’re not allowed to laugh…”

“Fine.” Her voice was gentle.

He lifted his head, and his handsome face hadn’t changed much, but his two eyes were bruised in big circles, turning into giant panda eyes, which against his pale skin and with two streams of blood in his nose, looked particularly comical.

“Hahaha!” Su Qingyue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Xiao Yishan saw his third brother like this and laughed, feeling both pained and amused.

Xiao Qinghe wore the same expression as the second brother.

Li Rong’er, who couldn’t wait for Xiao Yuchuan to be beaten half to death, also hooked the corners of her lips coldly.

Xiao Yuchuan glanced at everyone’s expressions and knew what they were thinking.

His family felt sorry for him, except for Li Rong’er, who wished he was beaten to death.

Anyway, Xiao Yuchuan never considered her part of the family.

He looked pitifully at Su Qingyue, “Wife, you agreed not to laugh, so why are you laughing again?”

“Is this me laughing?” she said seriously. “This is me laughing heartily, thank you very much.”

“…” He knew his wife was eloquent and always left him speechless.

“You can be frustrated too, I see.” She huffed and walked toward the main gate. Her laughter didn’t mean she wasn’t pained by his injury.

Xiao Yuchuan hurried after her, “Wife, where are you going?”

“To seek out Li Gui for daring to hit my husband, of course!” she stormed off towards the Li Family.

Xiao Yuchuan, hearing her refer to him as ‘my husband,’ was delighted inside and followed her like a sycophant, “Wife, you are so good to me, but since your husband is injured, you, an unarmed woman, shouldn’t get involved in a fight.”

“No problem,” she said, “Don’t think that I look gentle and polite, I can actually fight quite well.”

“All right then, I’ll help you fight later.” Xiao Yuchuan said on the side, “Wife, maybe we should forget about it. I’m afraid you’ll be at a disadvantage.”

“I can’t let you take a beating for nothing.”

“Wife makes a good point. Then later, your husband will put up a good fight…”

Xiao Yishan followed along from behind, “Third brother, Yue’er, wait for me.”

“Second brother, you shouldn’t go with your injuries.” Xiao Yuchuan glanced at him, “It’s nothing serious.”

“How can I not help when brothers are fighting?”

Xiao Yuchuan asked, “Then you must have known I was out earlier, why didn’t you come over sooner?”

Xiao Yishan’s facial expression wasn’t good either, “Things weren’t clear, you going off rashly to fight with Li Gui, do you think that’s reasonable?”
