The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man Chapter 1147 - 1147 1147 breaking out of the ice 3

Chapter 1147: 1147 breaking out of the ice 3 Chapter 1147: 1147 breaking out of the ice 3 Seeing both of them alive and breaking the water surface, joy flickered in Xiao Yishan’s eyes.

The five people huddled around the fire stood up in high spirits.

“Third brother, Yue’er!”

“Chuan, Chuan’s wife…”

They all called out eagerly.

Xiao Yuchuan, holding Su Qingyue, swam toward the lakeshore, and as soon as they reached the bank,

Xiao Yishan handed over the clothes that Qingyue had taken off at the shore, “Yue’er, don’t catch a cold.”

“Thanks, second brother.” She took the clothes, walked a bit further away, turned a corner where no one was, and took off her wet inner clothing.

The inner clothing wasn’t a bellyband but was long shirts and long pants worn underneath.

Of course, the bellyband and lingerie were also wet.

After taking them off, she put on her outer garnt directly.

When she returned to the fire, she found that Chuan had also changed out of his wet clothes and was wearing an outer garnt given by the second brother, while the second brother wore only his inner garnts.

It was probably around nine o’clock at night.

As there were pine trees nearby, Zhou Fuquan chopped a few pine branches to make torches, “Chuan is alright now, should we head back to the village?”

Xiao Yuchuan was about to stand up when Su Qingyue pulled him back slightly, “We’ve just gotten ashore, let’s warm up a bit longer.

You guys go ahead.”

“I’m worried that Cuihua would be anxious waiting at ho,” Fuquan said, “Never mind Cuihua, Father and Mother must be worried too…”

“My family must be worried as well…”

Yang Youli and Wang Adou expressed the sa concerns.

After discussing, Yang Youli and the other four left first.

Only Xiao Yuchuan, Xiao Yishan, and Su Qingyue remained by the fire.

Xiao Yishan returned the fifty taels of silver to Su Qingyue, “Yue’er, here you go.

After paying each person thirty taels for their wages, there’s still fifty taels of silver left over.”

She was puzzled, “Shouldn’t there only be twenty taels left over for six people?”

“They five accepted it.

I don’t need it,” Xiao Yishan looked at Chuan, “Helping a brother out, I couldn’t possibly take the money.”

Su Qingyue pushed the silver back to him, “Second brother, winter is coming, buy whatever you need.

Besides, you need silver for your marriage to Li Rong’er, and the extra twenty taels are well deserved after you went through the trouble of calling people for so late at night.”

“I don’t want it.” He firmly pushed the silver back to her, “How could I take money for that?

I’m not planning to marry Li Rong’er as a wife, at most I’ll take her as a concubine.”

“Li Rong’er has been behaving this ti and hasn’t caused any trouble,” Su Qingyue conceded and took it back.

Xiao Yishan knew what she ant, “I kept a tight watch on her.

She has signed a deed of sale with , so if she disobeys, I will sell her off.

She’s scared of that.”

“Oh?” Su Qingyue raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t expect she would have drawn up a deed of sale.”

“If she didn’t, I would’ve told her to leave.

She couldn’t bear to leave the comfortable life at the Xiao Family, and she truly owed silver, so she wrote it.”

Su Qingyue added a piece of firewood to the fire, “We really owe a lot to you, second brother, this ti.”

If it hadn’t been for the second brother calling people, then with a murder case on her hands and no one to call for help, she would have had to resort to poisoning and promising a hefty paynt to each person.

That would have made things more difficult for her.

Second brother had indeed made her see him in a new light this ti.

Xiao Yuchuan, being a vendor, quickly understood that calling for help had cost thirty taels per person, while his wife had given second brother two hundred taels of silver to settle the debt, “My dear, I never realized I’m worth two hundred taels in your eyes.”

“Even adding another zero would be worth it.” She spoke with the boldness of a magnate.

He let his handso face sag, “My dear, am I truly worth two thousand taels in your heart?”
