The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

"I'm not sure either, I just got here and was inquiring about it..." the middle-aged man shook his head.

At this moment, Chief Wang from the government soldiers noticed Xiao Yuchuan's carriage and approached, "Brother Xiao, are you heading back to Wushan Village?"

"Chief Wang." Xiao Yuchuan got off the carriage and greeted him with a bow, "What has happened up ahead? Why are people being stopped from passing through?"

Chief Wang sighed, "There's been an avalanche up the mountain. A large mass of snow collapsed and buried the road; our men are working hard to clear it as we speak, but unfortunately, there's too much snow. I'm afraid it won't be cleared within ten days."

Upon hearing this, a passerby became anxious, "Then what are we to do? If it can't be cleared in ten days, we're all waiting to go back for the New Year..."

"My family has no extra food left, my wife is waiting for me to bring back food!" A burly man carrying a hemp bag looked utterly distressed.
