The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 591: 591 Big Sister arrived 7

“Chuan, how can you say that? So ruthless…” Wang Qigu had a grudge against Chuan and wished the villagers would all speak ill of him. “Your conscience had better not be eaten by a dog…”

“Second brother, if you don’t throw her out, I will!” Xiao Yuchuan held his firewood stick tightly, trying to overcome his weak body, grabbing onto Xiao Ailiu’s arm and attempting to pull her out.

With his weakened strength, Ailiu was experienced in farm work, not bothering with his meager attempts at force.

Qinghe’s legs were ruined, so as long as the second brother didn’t help out, who could actually evict her?

Ailiu pushed Yuchuan away, causing him to stumble.

Just as Yuchuan was about to fall embarrassingly to the ground, he fell into a soft embrace, and it was his wife who had softly caught him. He grinned at her immediately, “Dear…”

Su Qingyue supported his body.

Xiao Ailiu shoved Chuan, knowing her own predicament and not daring to be stubborn. She hurried over to help him up, “Third brother, are you okay?”

Yuchuan tried hard to push her away, but his arms and legs were too weak, so he couldn’t push her away at all.

Ailiu withdrew her hand, “Third brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me… I shouldn’t have stayed away for so long. I promise I will visit more often in the future…”

After hearing that, Yuchuan twitched the corner of his mouth, “Please don’t bother, don’t come back ever again!”

When the third brother’s temperament became stubborn, he was like a mule, even more stubborn than the second brother. Ailiu had no choice but to plead with Xiao Yishan, “Second brother, let me stay for one night… We can talk about it tomorrow morning — I’ll leave first thing tomorrow if I have to… I didn’t even have lunch today, and I traveled straight here… It’s now time for supper, and I’m really hungry… If I leave now, not only would I be unable to walk, I’ll definitely starve to death on the road…”

Several villagers chimed in, “Yishan, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning, it might actually be life-threatening…”

Xiao Yishan’s face turned dark as iron, and he walked toward the kitchen without saying a word, leaning on his crutch.

Seeing that he didn’t continue to drag her, Ailiu thought that her second brother was letting her stay and that he still cared about her as his older sister.

As Yuchuan tried to drag her out again, Ailiu quickly ducked into the yard, “Third brother, the second brother already agreed to let me stay, please don’t make things difficult for me…”

With that, she even entered the master bedroom of the Xiao family and closed the door.

The people outside the courtyard fence saw that there was no more commotion and it was getting dark, so they started to leave one after another.

Su Qingyue took out the remaining items from the hemp bag.

First, she took out a pack of clothes, then two large packs of medicine, and at the bottom of the stack covered with grass, there were twenty Jin of pork. The reason for the layers of grass was to prevent the pork grease from contaminating the clothes above it.

Qingyue handed the chunk of pork to Xiao Qinghe, and he received it, “You bought so much pork…”

“Yeah… We didn’t have any vegetables at home, so it’s good to buy some meat.” she said, carrying the medicine packs into the kitchen and placing the bags of medicine – one for her own preparations of common medicines – in the stove cabinet.

She then opened Chuan’s medicine bag, which contained six doses of paper-wrapped medicine.

After retrieving her previously collected medicines from the storage room, she added some to each of the six doses, resealed the five bags, and decocted the last dose using a small stove reserved for decocting medicine.

After cutting the pork Qingyue bought into sections in the kitchen, Qinghe asked, “Qingyue, do you want me to cook some fresh pork for tonight’s dinner?”

She shook her head, “No need. We have enough food.”

“Then I’ll just use salt to preserve the rest of the pork so it doesn’t spoil.”

“Okay.”
