The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 799: 799 Second brother brought a woman back.

“You’ll find out soon enough.” She pointed to the entrance of the courtyard.

At this moment, the sound of a horse galloping and the wheels of a carriage could be heard from outside the courtyard.

The family’s carriage was parked in the backyard stable, which means another carriage had arrived.

“Stop!” The driver called out to stop the carriage.

Xiao Yuchuan opened the door to the courtyard, only to see a horse-drawn cart at the entrance with Xiao Yishan helping a strange woman down from it.

The woman has almond-shaped eyes and rosy cheeks, which made her somewhat attractive.

She was holding a bundle in her hand and looked timid under Yuchuan’s intimidating gaze.

Su Qingyue stood in the yard, watching the people at the entrance without talking or asking questions.

Xiao Qinghe came out of the kitchen in his wheelchair and frowned upon seeing the sight.

Xiao Yuchuan glanced at the strange woman before coldly asking, “Second brother, where did this woman come from?”

Xiao Yishan explained, “She is Li Rong’er. She previously worked as a maid in the Fang Mansion. She sold herself into the mansion to serve for five years and signed a living contract. After the contract expired, her family actually wanted to sell her to a brothel.”

“That means you saved her,” Yuchuan’s expression turned frosty. “I bet that cost a lot, right?”

“She had ten taels of her own savings. Her family traded her for thirty taels to pay off their debts, so I spent twenty taels.” Xiao Yishan said, feeling a little guilty.

Yuchuan’s expression grew even worse. “Second brother, during these few days of part-time work, you’ve only earned a few hundred cents. Where did you get the money to save her? I presume it was from your wife’s hard-earned money? It’s not that I’m discouraging you from doing good deeds, but you should act according to your abilities.”

You should act according to your abilities, Xiao Yishan scratched his head, feeling awkward. “I’ll repay my wife the twenty taels, tomorrow, I’ll hunt in the mountains!”

Qingyue found it amusing that second brother would change his mind and now want to go hunting again, and all for this pretty woman standing before them.

Xiao Yishan looked at his wife’s mocking smile and felt a slight remorse. “My wife…”

Qigyeue gave Li Rong’er a blank look and said expressionlessly, “Is she the future second sister-in-law?”

Li Rong’er was shocked that she would say such a thing.

Xiao Yishan got angry and scolded, “Wife! What are you talking about? Are you really trying to push me away? Rong’er is just a pitiful woman. She was sold by her family once before, and now she almost got sold again. I figured that now since our house is in a better situation, it’s not bad to have a lowly maidservant around. Besides, it’s not bad for you to have someone serve you too.”

Qingyue noticed how Li Rong’er’s face grew slightly dim when she heard this. This woman wasn’t here to serve as a maid.

It was clear that she had come to snatch away her second brother.

However, this suited Qingyue just fine.

Li Rong’er had been secretly sizing up Qingyue and thought that although her figure was better than her own, her plain-looking face with yellowish skin and spots couldn’t compare to Rong’er’s beauty.

Rong’er had initially heard about Qingyue’s pus sores clearing up and was afraid she wouldn’t be as beautiful as her.

But now seeing Su Qingyue’s plain appearance, Li Rong’er let out a sigh of relief.

With her own good looks, she believed it would be easy to replace Su Qingyue – becoming the mistress of the household would soon be a reality.

The dog, Zamao, saw a stranger entering the door and immediately jumped toward Li Rong’er. Scared by the dog, Rong’er screamed and fell to the ground.

PS: Recently, Nan has been experiencing lower back, chest pain, and hemorrhoids. Her health hasn’t been great. However, she will not miss any updates and will continue publishing five chapters a day. Nan had previously promised a minimum of six chapters a day, but will make up for the missing chapter once she feels better. Some readers complain about Nan shamelessly asking for monthly tickets while only updating five times a day. The truth is, Nan feels embarrassed, too. However, if she doesn’t ask for monthly votes, she might lose her spot on the leaderboard, which would make this month’s monthly tickets worthless. Monthly tickets can generate bonuses, but only for works listed on the leaderboard. Nan has already won for two consecutive months. This month, readers have already cast about 900 votes. Nan doesn’t want to waste this month’s votes, so she’ll continue to ask for votes despite her health issues and inability to publish additional updates. She’s already trying her best with updates and hopes her readers won’t give up on her. Would you please spare some monthly tickets if possible?@@novelbin@@
