The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Wang Cuihua couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Trying to trap you while you were washing clothes by the river was choking people, but we never said you were a dog, you just thought of yourself as one.”

“Hmph,” Liu Xiaohong said disgustedly, “you’re so close to Su Qingyue just because you want to ask for her stir-fried fern recipe. Su Qingyue is so stingy, she definitely won’t give it to you.”

Wang Cuihua was angry and embarrassed because her intentions were exposed. “Yes, I do want the fried fern recipe. It can make so much money, who in the village doesn’t want it? Qingyue has already told the villagers that she sold the recipe to the Rich Source Tavern, and if it gets out, she will have to pay for it. I may be bad, but I don’t want her to lose money. How am I flattering her? My good relationship with her is because my husband Zhou Fuquan and her husband Xiao Yuchuan are close. There’s no point in being jealous!”

After listening, Su Qingyue felt that Cuihua was an okay person. “Stop arguing with Liu Xiaohong. The Liu family is not a good bunch.” She lowered her head to tease the little bastard on the ground, “Don’t compare my little bastard with Liu Xiaohong. In my eyes, she is not even as good as a dog.”

“Right.” Wang Cuihua echoed.

Li Gui saw that Liu Xiaohong was almost infuriated to death by these two women. The matter couldn’t be separated from him, so he felt a little bit of pity. “Sister Liu, calm down. We’re all from the same village, why bother getting red-faced and arguing.”

Being comforted by the person she liked, Liu Xiaohong’s mood instantly improved. She covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and said shyly, “Brother Li Gui, you’re really a good person…”

Su Qingyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Was this how ancient girls courted handsome guys?

Don’t underestimate village girls, their ability to change faces is as fast as flipping through a book.

Thinking in a way that her husband Yuchuan would often tell her, he was the most handsome in the village, not overtly saying he was first, because Li Gui was also pretty much on par with him.

Not sure who would be considered more handsome between Li Gui and Chuan?

Most people would probably say Li Gui.

Because…

First, Li Gui’s family has a good condition, owning many fields, and second, he has been educated.

With just these two things, in the poor Wushan village, her husband could be easily defeated.

Sigh.

Fortunately…

Although sometimes her own husband would make her want to chop him up, she felt that he was more pleasing to look at than Li Gui in the end.

Li Gui didn’t pay attention to Liu Xiaohong, but his gentle gaze did fall on Su Qingyue.

Wang Cuihua, being experienced herself, noticed the look in Li Gui’s eyes as if he was interested in Qingyue…

She couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Li Gui’s family was rich, and the Xiao family was poor. If he was really interested in Qingyue and she married him, wouldn’t it mean the cooked ducks flew away for the Xiao family?

Looking at Qingyue’s face again, it was as ugly as it could get. Li Gui shouldn’t be attracted to her, right?

Looking at Li Gui again, she found that his eyes looked normal. Did she just read him wrong?

At this moment, two donkey carts, one behind the other, came from the front.

About a dozen villagers followed the donkey carts, watching the commotion eagerly.

“Brother Li Gui, these must be the things your family bought. Otherwise, why would you be here?” said Liu Xiaohong, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at the goods on the two carts. Quickly hiding her excitement, she thought, ‘Li Gui’s family is so rich and generous! No other family has had people from the town deliver their goods.’

Before Li Gui could speak, one of the donkey carts leading the way arrived and stopped in front of them..
