The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 568: 568 gave Qinghe 2 private money

“Second Brother…” Xiao Yuchuan was deeply moved.

Su Qingyue smiled and said, “Second Brother, you’re being too polite. I am part of the family, and the money I earn naturally belongs to our common assets. I had originally intended to buy the medicine directly for Third Brother, but seventy taels is not a small sum. I thought it would be better to discuss with you before making a decision.”

“My Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan stared at her intently, his eyes filled with tears of gratitude.

“Put away that pitiful look,” Su Qingyue said. “Who are you trying to impress with it?”

“You,” he mumbled.

Xiao Yishan said, “Yue’er, I’ve told you before that you don’t need to discuss your spending with us.”

She laughed and said, “I’m just trying to show my respect for all of you.”

“Your respect is more than enough,” Xiao Yishan looked at her, his gaze full of tender affection.

Xiao Qinghe also said, “Qingyue, you can make the decisions for things like this.”

“Then I’ll go to the town tomorrow to get the medicine for Third Brother.” She took seventy-nine taels from the pile of money on the table. “Seventy taels for the medicine, and I spent an additional two taels and four hundred and eighty cents at Lady Li’s for some clothes. I’ll pay it off tomorrow. I’ll use the remaining money to buy some herbs at the pharmacy and stock up on some commonly used medicines. Second Brother, you can keep the rest.”

In fact, she had already used the private money she had swindled from Li Gui to pay for the two taels at Lady Li’s. Now she reported it again so that she could use her openly earned money to pay for it, and have the two taels refunded to her private account.

“Yue’er, with so much money, you should keep it…” Xiao Yishan hurriedly waved his hand.

Su Qingyue noticed that when Second Brother and Third Brother first saw so much money, they had taken a few extra glances. After all, they had never seen such a large sum of money in their lives, so it was normal to look more. But she didn’t detect any greed in their eyes.

As for Fourth Brother, there was no need to mention him. He had told her to take the money and run away in town, not caring about the Xiao Family. Fourth Brother didn’t care about the money she made.

“Second Brother, keep it. I’ll feel at ease.” She put the counted money into her sleeve pocket and left the master bedroom, even closing the door behind her.

There were still two one hundred tael silver notes and one hundred and ten cents of loose change left on the table. Xiao Yishan carefully collected them, as they were all his wife’s hard-earned money.

With the money previously handed over by his wife, there was now a total of two hundred and one taels left.

The three men remained silent, but all of them knew in their hearts that they would never find a better wife in this world.

They swore to themselves to treat her well.

That night, lying in the new quilt nest his wife had prepared, the warm scent was just like the feeling she gave them.

It was so warm.

Early the next morning, Su Qingyue woke up at seven o’clock.

She had slept well the whole night. Since changing to the new quilt nest, her sleep quality had improved significantly.

In the past when she went to town, she would have to get up at three or four in the morning, sometimes earlier, because she had to prepare things to sell.

Now it didn’t matter if she woke up late because they had their own carriage. They didn’t need to rush for the cow’s car anymore and could leave whenever they wanted.

She was going to make breakfast when she opened the bedroom door. Little bastard, who had been waiting outside, howled softly at her.

The morning air was very refreshing, with chirping birdsong coming from the trees not far outside the courtyard. The morning light was not harsh, but rather soft and gentle.

The quilt and blanket she had replaced the night before lay on the fence in the yard, drying in the sunshine. They had probably been used for over ten years, the cotton wadding old and black. It was good to let them air out in the sun.
