The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 667: 667 Don’t treat yourself as an outsider

He had a fierce appearance, and Xiao Ailiu was actually a bit afraid of him. “Second Brother… I, erm…” She tried to come up with an excuse, “I saw Fourth Brother using some of the rice he caught for the chickens earlier. That was refined rice, and I couldn’t bear to see it wasted… So, I… dug up some earthworms to feed the chickens… Yes, I was digging for earthworms…”

Xiao Yishan didn’t believe her for a second. “Big Sister, if you tell this reason to others, they’ll laugh themselves to death. The ground in the yard has been trampled so hard, how could there be earthworms?”

Her body trembled a little.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yishan’s facial expression turned cold as he said, “It’s late today. You should leave first thing in the morning.”

“Second Brother…” Xiao Ailiu was anxious; she hadn’t gotten the money yet, so how could she willingly leave?

“Yuchuan is out. If he finds out, he’ll beat you to death.” He spoke coldly, “Cover up the pile of dirt before Yuchuan comes back. Make it level and stable, so it won’t affect Fourth Brother’s wheelchair.”

“Ah…” Xiao Ailiu was already injured and digging in the dirt had exhausted her, leaving her drenched in sweat. Hearing Second Brother’s words, she knew it was for Fourth Brother’s benefit so that his wheelchair could travel smoothly – all that digging was for nothing, and this made her more frustrated!

When Su Qingyue woke up from her nap, it was already past 2 p.m. Just as she walked out of her room, she saw Wang Cuihua enter the yard.

“Qingyue, you’re home.” She greeted.

Su Qingyue also smiled, “I haven’t seen you for days.”

Cuihua saw Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe coming out of the master bedroom and greeted them before pulling Su Qingyue aside, whispering, “Qingyue, I have to tell you, the eldest sister of the Xiao family is not an easy person to deal with. She must have come back for the money since the Xiao family has more now. You must be careful of her…”

Just as she was about to tell Su Qingyue that Xiao Ailiu had been badmouthing her, Xiao Ailiu’s voice came from behind, “Oh, oh, oh! Sister Cuihua, you’re here!”

Saying that, she pulled Wang Cuihua over, “Now that you’re visiting our house, you should have a chat with me, your eldest sister.”

She was furious. After she had just flattened the dirt, she saw Wang Cuihua gossiping behind her back with this wicked woman.

Wang Cuihua forced a smile, “I didn’t see you just now.”

“Now you see me.” Xiao Ailiu, afraid that she would badmouth her to Su Qingyue, grabbed Wang Cuihua’s hand affectionately, “Cuihua, you know, my third brother and your husband Fuquan have been friends since childhood. I have always regarded your husband as my younger brother. Since you’re Fuquan’s wife, you should call me ‘sister’ from now on.”

Wang Cuihua didn’t want to be close to this wicked woman and refused to call her “sister” as she heard the underlying meaning. “It’s better to call you Sister Xiao,” she said.

“Call me whatever you like.” Xiao Ailiu pretended to be enthusiastic, “Have you had lunch yet? If not, eat here at our house. I’ll cook a chicken for you.” Su Qingyue had two live chickens left from her purchase at the town. She didn’t eat any for lunch, so if she slaughtered one now for Wang Cuihua, she could eat plenty herself too.

Wang Cuihua retracted her hand, “Are you really going to kill a chicken? Sister Xiao, you’re a married woman, and you really don’t treat yourself like an outsider here.”

“Even if I’m married, I’m still the eldest sister of this family.” Ailiu immediately replied, “Not to mention killing a chicken… even if…”

She wanted to say more, but when she saw her second and fourth brother’s angry faces, she shut her mouth and stayed silent.

At this time, Xiao Yuchuan carried a large bundle of bamboo back, and seeing Qingyue in the yard, he called from far away, “Wife!”
