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.

"What's the matter, second brother?" she asked indifferently.

His gaze was complex as he looked at her. He had intended to apologize; being with Rong'er was a betrayal to her. Considering she never acknowledged him as her husband, he thought that if he said it out loud, she wouldn't care. Seeing Li Rong'er standing at the kitchen doorway watching him, he didn't want to hurt Rong'er's feelings. So, he just said, "The twenty taels I owe you, once my injury is healed, I'll repay after selling the game from hunting in the mountains."

The second brother had said before that he wanted only one woman in the future, but Su Qingyue never took it to heart. Since she had told him to marry someone else, she didn't care about his emotional promises to her.

Yet he had promised he would not go hunting in the mountains anymore, and he easily overturned that promise.

Truth be told, Xiao Yishan owed her far more than those twenty taels he spent on Li Rong'er.
