Chapter 835: 835 Third brother is not a radish 1
“The money I have earned, I have taken back, and I won’t give it to you again,” Su Qingyue said coldly, “Second brother, don’t be too confident in your words. The Xiao Family’s hundred acres of farmland were also earned by me. Shouldn’t you also return them to me?”
“Wow…” the onlookers were astonished.
Qian Zhang had thickened her skin to join the crowd too, and seeing how easily a woman like Su Qingyue had reclaimed so much money, she was green with envy and choked out, “Su Qingyue, when you first came, you were bought by the Xiao Family. Now that you have turned a profit, you renounce all ties. The Xiao Family even tore up your deed of sale. Are you planning to abscond with the money? If you want to buy your freedom now that you’ve made money, the price won’t be the same as the sixteen taels of silver the Xiao Family paid for you initially. Xiao Yishan refunded you so much money, are you just going to let the Xiao Family tear up your deed of sale for nothing?”
“Does Qian Zhang really have to be so unpleasant?” Aunt Zhang said, “Dashan was bitten by a snake and nearly died; it was Qingyue who saved him. The Xiao Family was facing creditors, and it was Qingyue who stood up and paid the debts…”
“Enough already. The Xiao Family was pressured by Granny Sun for debts, if not for Su Qingyue causing it, Dashan was bitten by a snake, and what kind of medical skill does Su Qingyue have to save him? It’s because Dashan is robust and would have been fine anyway!” Qian Zhang scoffed, “As if Su Qingyue has such great medical skills.”
“Dashan was not only bitten by a snake, but he also broke his leg at the time. It was definitely Qingyue who saved him…”
“If the Xiao Family weren’t in debt, Dashan likely wouldn’t have gone hunting in the mountains and been bitten by a snake, let alone break a leg. In my opinion, Su Qingyue is an ill omen!” Qian Zhang eager to smear Su Qingyue’s name, for the woman refused to sell her medicinal paste toothpaste to her, forcing her to covertly pay high prices to buy it secondhand from those who had already purchased it from the Xiao Family. It cost twenty cents a pot! A full eight cents more expensive!”
“I am an ill omen?” Su Qingyue laughed, “If I were, could the Xiao Family have its present situation? If I am such, how could my third brother’s illness have healed? I, Su Qingyue, am a person of great fortune!”
The villagers didn’t listen to Qian Zhang’s nonsense, “Exactly, we don’t even know how lucky Su Qingyue is. Since her arrival, the Xiao Family, a poor household, not only came into fortune, but Chuan’s illness also got better…”
“Qian Zhang is just a blabbermouth spouting nonsense…”
Not one of the guys supported Qian Zhang.
Su Qingyue looked at Xiao Qinghe whose expression had turned gloomy.
Every time there was an issue at home, the fourth brother hardly ever expressed any opinions.
Today, she hadn’t heard him speak up for her either.
Su Qingyue’s gaze met his clear eyes.
If it were anyone else, they would probably hold a grudge against him.
She knew all too well and had always noticed the pain-filled, yet deeply caring look in his eyes when they rested on her.
The fourth brother wanted her to lose heart so that she might take this opportunity to leave the Xiao Family.
After all, he must think that the Xiao Family couldn’t bring her happiness and wanted to set her free.
Seeing his graceful face, remembering how he had cried desperately in the street, and recalling that at first, when she was ugly and repulsive, when the Xiao Family was too poor to find a wife, he had given her the only private money he had to let her leave secretly.
At that time, nobody else in the family agreed to let her go.
She remembered this kindness from the fourth brother.
Although she called him fourth brother, he was only seventeen years old, yet her soul was already twenty-five; only the body was fifteen years old and therefore younger than him in age.
In her heart, she still regarded him as a younger brother.
