Chapter 536: 536 Truth Revealed 3

Xiao Qinghe inexplicably felt a shiver down his spine. His wife was talking as if killing someone was easier than killing a chicken, “That’s good then.”

As he looked at her slender silhouette driving the carriage, he was filled with warmth.

There was something enchanting about her, so many things about her amazed him, but he knew in his heart that even if she could hurt others, she would never hurt him.

Qian Zhangshi was known in the village as quite the shrew, many girls and little wives, even men, did not want to offend her.

Yet, his wife, just because Qian Zhangshi had insulted him, had thrown Qian Zhangshi out.

He leaned on the flatbed cart, moving bit by bit behind her, extending his hands out, trying multiple times to touch her but withdrawing each time.

The cart wheels happened to run over a stone, and jerked slightly.

His body leaned forward, knocking into her back.

She quickly halted the cart, turned around anxiously to see him, “Fourth brother, are you okay?”

Seeing her worried gaze, his heart pounded, he pulled her into his arms, murmuring excitedly, “Qingyue…I like you!”

Her body stiffened, restraining the impulse to push him away, “Fourth brother, calm down.”

He held onto her, her delicate body thrilling him just by the contact, and he was reluctant to let go, “Qingyue, listen to me, you are my…” He hadn’t finished saying the word “wife”.

From the bend in the mountain road came Aunt Zhang’s teasing words, “Oh, it’s Qingyue and Qinghe!”

Seeing Aunt Zhang, and the presence of an outsider, Xiao Qinghe awkwardly let go of her, “Zhang…Aunt Zhang…”

“Yo…in broad daylight, you guys…” Aunt Zhang came over, covering her mouth and chuckling.

As if she was caught red-handed, Su Qingyue blushed, “Aunt Zhang, you can’t tell anyone.” She did not want to take the blame for seducing her brother-in-law.

Aunt Zhang thought she was shy, “I won’t tell anyone.”

Glancing at the carriage, “Eh? Qingyue, whose carriage is this, I just saw you driving a carriage?”

“I just bought it.”

“Amazing!” exclaimed Aunt Zhang, “Even the cheapest carriage costs more than twenty taels of silver, and look at this horse, it looks expensive, doesn’t it?”

“Twenty-four taels for the horse and the flatbed cart.”

“Around the same.” Aunt Zhang walked around the cart, asking the same question Qian Zhangshi asked, “Qingyue, where did you get so much money?”

Su Qingyue replied, “I accidentally discovered that pig offal, once the odor is removed, is quite delicious stir-fried. I sold the recipe to the boss of the Rich Source Tavern and made 300 taels.”

Aunt Zhang was dumbfounded, “So much money, is it real?”

“Fourth brother was there too. He was with me when I sold it today.”

Aunt Zhang looked at Xiao Qinghe, and he nodded in confirmation.

“Oh my! Qingyue, you got 300 taels in one go, you’ve become the wealthy of Wushan Village!” Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but envy, “Even the Li Gui’s family, with all their fields, is worth around four to five hundred taels.”

Su Qingyue said, “Aunt Zhang, you’re heading back to the village, aren’t you? Climb into the carriage, I’ll give you a lift.” Aunt Zhang had helped her a lot, she wasn’t like Qian Zhangshi.

“Okay. I went to town this morning to sell some things. Somebody in the village has already booked a ride back so I had to walk.” Aunt Zhang climbed onto the carriage, glancing at the flatbed and the wheelchair on it, her words filled with envy and delight at the Xiao’s family’s newfound wealth, “Qingyue, can you drive the carriage?”
