The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 783: 783 Fourth Brother’s Fulfillment 1

“Are these herbs?” Li Wangshi is not very convinced. “You’re just a woman, what do you know about medicine…”

Su Qingyue ignores her and continues to walk towards her new home.

As she passes by the old house she used to live in, she sees a layer of dust in the yard. The courtyard door is locked, and ever since they moved to their new house, the Xiao Family’s old, shabby residence has been vacant.

She sighs, wondering why she felt happier living in the old house.

Perhaps it’s because she didn’t have as many worries back then.

Not too far ahead, she reaches her new house, with its tile roof, mud wall, and high fence.

Entering the yard, she takes off her back basket and puts it in the courtyard.

There are several five-tiered racks specifically for drying herbs in the yard, which she paid a carpenter to make. They are much sturdier and better-looking than the wooden ones she made herself in the Xiao’s old house.

Xiao Qinghe is studying medicine in the yard as usual. A small table is placed in the courtyard, holding a pot of water and some important notes written by him, which his wife had taught him.

Seeing her return, he quickly pours a glass of water, “Wife, you must be thirsty, have some water.”

She doesn’t stand on ceremony, walks over and drinks all the water in the glass.

“Is there anyone at home?” Wang Cuihua’s voice sounds outside the courtyard.

Xiao Qinghe replies, “Yes. Cuihua, come in.”

Wang Cuihua walks into the yard, “Qinghe and Qingyue are both here. Hasn’t second Brother Xiao and Chuan returned yet?”

“Not yet,” Su Qingyue says. “After we finished planting the vegetable field, the second brother and third brother didn’t want to stay idle at home. The second brother went to the town to do part-time work and the third brother went to sell goods.”

Wang Cuihua says enviously, “You guys have so much money, and they are still working so hard to make money and do things. Qingyue, your husband is really good.”

She smiles faintly, “Both Second Brother and Third Brother said the family fortunes were earned by me. They want to make money to support the family. They’re used to working, so they feel restless if they don’t work. I just let them be.”

“Seeing how well your family is doing now, I’m really afraid that someone will disturb your peace.” Wang Cuihua says, “That shameless woman Liu Xianglian said she would accuse Chuan of rape, but she didn’t dare to do it for real since he didn’t commit such a thing. Last time she came to your house and demanded Chuan to take responsibility, she was beaten by Chuan and has been recovering for a while now. I heard her health has improved. The old folks of the Liu Family have also long since recovered. I’m afraid they won’t let this go easily.”

“Let them do whatever they want, I’m not a pushover.” Qingyue doesn’t take the Liu Family seriously at all. @@novelbin@@

“Let’s not talk about Liu Xianglian for now… Qingyue, did you know, she’s back!” Wang Cuihua says mysteriously.

Xiao Qinghe, who was looking at his notes, glances up at Wang Cuihua with a puzzled look.

Su Qingyue is also puzzled, “Who is she? Could it be Sister Xiao?”

“Your big sister wouldn’t dare return.” Wang Cuihua shakes her head. Glancing at Xiao Qinghe and feeling it’s not appropriate to discuss this while he’s listening, she still says, “Xiao Ailiu is just your big sister and poses no threat to you. It’s Liu Haitang who came back!”

Su Qingyue had almost forgotten about this person. Hearing this familiar name, she recalls that Liu Haitang was Second Brother’s lover for many years, and they had even been intimate in a cornfield before.

Seeing that Su Qingyue has no reaction, Wang Cuihua kindly says, “Qingyue, before Liu Haitang got married, everyone in the village knew she had a history with your Second Brother. Your Second Brother’s left face was ruined by the bear blind while trying to save her. At that time, I wasn’t married to Zhou Fuquan yet. According to Fuquan, the way Second Brother Xiao looked at Liu Haitang with his eyes alone revealed how much he liked her. Moreover…”
