The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 838 - : Qingyue has over 2,000 taels now.

Chapter 838: Qingyue has over 2,000 taels now.

Everyone was clamoring for Su Qingyue to stay at their home.

Su Qingyue was caught between laughter and tears, moved by the allure of silver far outstripping that of people.

Xiao Yishan’s face was livid with rage. His wife hadn’t even left the Xiao Family’s door and these people were already coveting her, infuriating him to no end, “All of you, get out!”

Xiao Qinghe’s face also displayed an equally embarrassed expression.

Qian Zhang brandished her old embroidered handkerchief, “If she wants to go, let her go.” She was only a few years older than Su Qingyue, yet without a son to take Su Qingyue’s… money.

Seeing Xiao Yishan’s rage and on the verge of striking someone, with his immense and muscular build intimidating everyone, the rest started leaving reluctantly.

...

Fearing he’d resort to using his fists, the crowd in the yard successively left the Xiao Family’s courtyard door, discontent.

Aunt Zhang turned to look at Su Qingyue who stood still, “Qingyue, dear, even if you don’t marry our Ping’an, it’s okay. Aunt Zhang has always treated you like a daughter. If you temporarily need a place to stay, it’s all right to stay at my place.”

“Thank you, Aunt Zhang, but I won’t be staying at your place.” Su Qingyue gave her a slight smile, “I have my own plans.”

Since Aunt Zhang had considered her as a prospective wife for Zhang Ping’an, those thoughts would continuously plague her unless she became someone’s wife.

Zhang Ping’an had worked on the Xiao Family’s house construction for a period, and she had met him.

A young man who was quite honest and decent.

Only 15 years old…

Generally, in this era, girls could marry at 15 upon reaching adulthood, and boys would take a wife at the earliest at 16 or 17, although many were betrothed much earlier.

Su Qingyue felt nothing for Zhang Ping’an, seeing him as nothing more than a stranger or a younger brother. It was impossible for her to have any relationship with him. Plus, she knew that Zhang Ping’an harbored no feelings for her either.

Rejected by her, Aunt Zhang’s face showed a touch of regret, “Qingyue, dear…”

“Su Qingyue, consider my family…” Li Wang was calling out from the doorway.

Su Qingyue shouted coldly, “No more talking, I will not go to any of your homes.”

Qian Zhang mocked from outside, “You still want to keep Su Qingyue? Have you forgotten how the rumors about her and Li Gui were buzzing everywhere recently? Who knows, maybe she wants to go to Li Gui’s family…”

“Stop spouting nonsense, Qingyue is not that kind of girl,” Aunt Zhang rebuked coldly.

Qian Zhang was not afraid of Aunt Zhang but remembered being thrown off the horse cart by Su Qingyue when she wanted a free ride, still feeling the fear, so she closed her mouth and said no more.

Su Qingyue walked up to Xiao Qinghe, looking at his pale face, she gently opened her lips, “Fourth brother…”

Seeing her about to leave, Xiao Qinghe’s heart ached, yet he still managed a strained smile, “Where do you plan to settle down? Will you keep in touch with me later?”

Looking at the unshed tears in his eyes, the gentle young man always moved her to pity. She sighed softly, “You must take care of yourself. Later, I will come back to see you. I’ll go pack up my clothes.”

With that, she turned and entered her room.

There weren’t many clothes.

She hadn’t turned over the one thousand taels of silver she received for diagnosing Master Tao, plus the eight taels extorted by Li Gui, and the twenty taels from her private funds she had scrimped to buy medicine for her third brother. She had only spent a few taels on a dagger.

The rest was kept safe.

Added to what her second brother had returned to her, she now had over two thousand silver taels.

She secured the money close to her.

With a hasty packing, she grabbed a bundle and prepared to leave.

As soon as she reached the doorway, she saw a tall figure in the courtyard.
