The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 579:
Chapter 579: 579 The thing that others can’t do 1
“That’s true.” Even though she earned the money herself.
“Once a woman gets married, she has to resign to her fate.” The middle-aged woman could only sigh, “Since they treat you well, you should just live a good life. But, girl, you have to seek your own happiness.”
“Why do you say that, Auntie?”
“I think you’re a good person, so I’m just giving you a heads up.” She said quietly, “Although it’s not uncommon for several men to share one wife, that’s very rare and only happens in the villages around our town. It’s disgraceful for men to admit this, and only extremely poor families who can’t afford to marry would do this. Men always love to fool around; if you can’t satisfy three husbands, they’ll look for outside meals. Even if you do satisfy them… Seeing your current attire, your family’s situation has definitely improved. Girl, you should find out that in those families where one wife is shared by several men, if the men are poor for a lifetime, it’s no big deal since they can’t afford another wife anyway. But when their conditions improve, which man wouldn’t want to marry another woman? In the end, they’d despise the initial wife because she’s been touched by several brothers – even if they don’t say it out loud, they will still have that disdain in their hearts.”
Su Qingyue gave a faint smile, “Auntie, you are a good person. Everything you said, I’ve already thought about it.”
She never intended to have three husbands. That was just the Xiao Family’s men’s wishful thinking.
“I’m just telling you this because I think you’re a good person.” The middle-aged woman sighed and returned to her shoe sales.
As Su Qingyue led the horse forward, she didn’t get very far before she saw Jin Xun, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, walking over with his servant.
Seeing Jin Xun, Su Qingyue’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all in pain.
Her 5000 taels!
“Boss Su, what a coincidence!” Jin Xun unfolded the folding fan in his hand and greeted Su Qingyue with a graceful demeanor.
Jin Xun had never used a folding fan before. Su Qingyue didn’t want to pay him any mind, but then she thought of the 10,000 jin of dried ferns stored at home. With several branches of Jin Xun’s Drunken Immortal Pavilion opened in different towns, having a good relationship with him meant no worry about sales, so she reluctantly smiled, “It’s a coincidence indeed. I don’t deserve the title ‘boss.’ In our town, who can be called a boss in front of Big Boss Jin?”
Jin Xun laughed, “When did Su Qingyue become so modest? I remember when you were selling stir-fried ferns, you were just a small vendor but already confidently calling yourself ‘Boss Su’ when talking to the Rich Source Tavern’s Manager Duan.”
“I’ve always been very modest.” Su Qingyue didn’t blush, “That time when I sold the stir-fried fern recipe, you, the grand owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, went to the Rich Source Tavern pretending to dine, just to see how I was selling my vegetables, right?”
Jin Xun admitted, “I find you really interesting. Every time you show up, my gloomy mood instantly clears up!”
Su Qingyue pulled a long face, “But every time I see you, my clear sky turns gloomy!”
“Why?” Jin Xun asked knowingly, “Although I am not very talented, I believe my appearance is not bad and shouldn’t be annoying to others. Miss Su, why can’t you stand seeing me?”
“One’s life can be filled with the obsession for money; this resentment has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.” Su Qingyue elegantly recited a poem with exaggerated tones, feeling the pain in her heart, “You wouldn’t understand my feelings.”
“I am not a literary person. But when Miss Su talks about money…” He looked grateful, “Miss Su returned my 5000 taels, showing that she truly regards money as nothing. Such a heroic woman who doesn’t love money or wealth throughout the ages…”
