The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 879 - : 879 third brother pick up and take home
Chapter 879: 879 third brother pick up and take home
Big Mixed Fur had quietly followed her at some point.
A woman and a wolf headed to another mountain to collect medicinal herbs, and it wasn’t until the moon was high in the sky that Su Qingyue returned with Big Mixed Fur.
At a forked path on a hillside under the dim sky, she saw a tall and slender figure standing silently.
His handsome face was filled with anxiety as he looked around in all directions.
Her third brother had actually come to meet her.
A wave of emotion stirred in her heart, and a warm current flooded her chest.
...
When Xiao Yuchuan saw her, he ran over immediately and called out happily, “Wife!”
“Third brother, how come you’re here to pick me up?” she asked softly.
He spontaneously took the back basket from her, “It’s quite heavy, wife, don’t gather so much medicine later. Tell me what you need, and I’ll help you collect it.”
“It’s fine, a back basket of medicine isn’t heavy.” She said, “Before, when I carried over a hundred jin of mushrooms to sell in the neighboring Wang Family Village, now that was heavy.”
Thinking of the hardship his wife had gone through during that time, Xiao Yuchuan’s heart ached in spasms, “Wife, you really have had a tough time.”
“It’s nothing.” She said uncertainly, “Third brother, this mountain is still far from home, how did you know I would come this way?”
“Earlier, I heard from the villagers that they saw you heading up the mountain from the foothill of Hanging Neck Mountain. I followed the path here, and when I saw Big Mixed Fur’s footprints walking with you, I found my way. But when I reached this fork in the road, the ground was covered with grass; there weren’t any clear footprints left after people walked over it. Afraid of taking a wrong turn and missing you, I decided to wait here.”
She couldn’t help admiring his intelligence, “Let’s go, we’ll head home.”
Hearing her mention ‘home’, a warmth blossomed in his heart. He carried the back basket and held her little hand as they headed down the mountain.
Big Mixed Fur obediently followed behind them.
“Wife, something embarrassing happened in the village chief’s family today.” He started as they walked.
“Hmm.” She said, “The scandal between the village chief’s delicate wife and his son Liang Ping’an has been discovered, right?”
“Wife, how did you know?” He was astonished.
“Didn’t you already know?” She said, “On the day we moved into our new house, you even caught Liu Yuhong and Liang Ping’an in the act at the Liang Family.”
Xiao Yuchuan hesitated in his steps, “Wife, you… were you spying too that night?”
She admitted candidly, “Yes. Tell me, third brother, Liu Yuhong tried so hard to seduce you that night, how could you remain so indifferent?”
“That shameless woman, I would have had to call her ‘Auntie’; engaging in such acts, she’s worse than a sow!” sneered Xiao Yuchuan, “A woman like her is truly the misfortune of Village Chief Liang.” He then said earnestly, “Wife, your husband is no foolish idiot. Although the village chief was dead drunk that night, Liang Ping’an was only tipsy and still conscious. Her boldness was clear, she had an agenda, and I would not be fooled. Later, I secretly found out that Liang Ping’an has a huge gambling debt, it’s likely that Liu Yuhong was trying to get money from me deliberately at his behest.”
As she was already aware of the truth, she then praised, “Who would have thought third brother would not be blinded by a beautiful woman.”
“You, hey!” he tapped her little head, “In my heart, there’s only room for you, my troublesome darling, no one else fits. You must trust in your husband.”
“I never said I didn’t trust you.”

He became a bit displeased, “I say, wife, you really can bear it. That night, when you secretly saw someone seducing your husband, why didn’t you come out and give her a beating?”
