The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 455
Chapter 455: 455, don’t call again
Moving a stone and hitting his own foot, the pain really lasted for a few days.
“Wife, you’re shaking with delight,” Xiao Yuchuan laughed. “Don’t be so smug, it’s just a few compliments…”
“Which eye saw me being smug?” She gritted her teeth.
“Both eyes saw it.”
“If I weren’t so busy now,” she said menacingly, “I’d really want to gouge your eyeballs out!”
Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t afraid of her being fierce, “Hehe, then you have to leave me an eyeball. If you gouge both of them, I’ll be blind and you’ll have to take care of me, and you’ll be the unlucky one.”
“Who will care for you? When you’re blind, I’ll throw you out.”
“My dear…” He gave her a pathetic look with his handsome face.
Xiao Yishan scolded him, “Yue’er is good to us, you know she’s joking. She’s busy.”
“Oh.” Yuchuan nodded.
Su Qingyue looked seriously at the three men on the sleeping bed, “Listen, you guys are not allowed to call me a stupid anymore, did you hear that?” “Why?” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t understand.
“Because I am humble! I don’t like to take on such ‘smart’ words!” She spoke heavily, as if she would kill anyone who dared mention it again.
The three men no longer dared to call her stupid.
In the afternoon, Wang Crippled delivered the big jar as promised. Qingyue had someone wash the jar and placed it into the master bedroom. She personally placed the collected bayberries into the jar. Others only saw her loading the jars, crushing the bayberries, and mixing them with the appropriate amount of sugar. She closed the door and the window of the master bedroom, had the fourth brother and the second brother sit on the desk next to the jar, and let them take care of it.
After that, she reopened the window.
The 1000 jin of bayberries she collected only took up sixteen empty jars, with four left as backup. It was estimated that she could collect a few more bayberries and fill the four empty jars later.
In the backyard of Xiao’s house, Qian Zhang’s wife stood next to the tub, reaching in to scoop from the tub that soaked the ferns.
Su Qingyue was collecting ferns in the front yard.
Xiao Yuchuan opened the window and saw Qian Zhang’s wife’s actions. Before he could speak, Xiao Yishan angrily shouted, “What are you doing!”
Qian Zhang’s wife saw Xiao Yishan’s fierce look like a bandit and trembled uncontrollably. “Da… Dashan…”
“What are you doing!” He looked like he was going to eat her.
“No… nothing…” Qian Zhang’s wife was suspicious of Su Qingyue’s purpose for collecting so many ferns. She saw that Qingyue only had people wash, soak, and then dry them. Perhaps there was another way to make money. She wanted to try the same method herself, but she didn’t know what was in the water of the jar of ferns. She only knew there was plant ash in there, but she didn’t know what the green stuff was.
Seeing the ferocious look of Xiao family’s men, she stopped investigating and hurriedly left the Xiao Family’s courtyard.
She went around the village talking about this incident and spread the word about how fierce and terrible Xiao Yishan was.
A few more groups of people came to the village to snoop on the “money-making secret”. Xiao family’s men opened the window of the wall facing the backyard. Except for the people doing the work, everyone else was not allowed to touch it.
However, those who helped with the work still talked about it, but no one understood medicine, and they didn’t know what the green stuff was.
Two days later, the secondary bedroom of the Xiao family was almost filled up with ferns – Su Qingyue left only a narrow path for walking inside the room. The bed was left unoccupied so as not to affect sleep..
