The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 613: 613 Three Different Men

“Now, he doesn’t treat me well, yet he promised to be nice to me for a lifetime…” she laughed.

He got angry, “Yue’er, what nonsense are you talking about? In which way have I, Xiao Yishan, ever mistreated you? I’ve never been this kind to any woman!”

“Didn’t you have a Liu Haitang before? You were going to sell all your belongings to marry her, weren’t you good to her?”

“That’s in the past, and besides, I didn’t really sell my belongings. Moreover, I hate that despicable woman to death.” He said with a stern face, “Yue’er, you are the only one in my heart now…”

He lifted her outer garment, his big palm reaching towards her chest, but she preemptively slapped him hard.

The sound of the slap was particularly crisp in the quiet night.

He was stunned by the slap, anger flashed in his eyes, “You hit me!”

That cold, sharp gaze was as cruel as that of a man-eating beast, enough to frighten people to death.

The sadness in Su Qingyue’s eyes quickly disappeared, and she became disappointed with her second brother.

Her second brother used to be so gentle and protective of her, never allowing her to suffer any harm.

No…

To be precise, her second brother still cares for her now, right?

Her second brother has never changed. He has always been very good to her, but when she first arrived, she didn’t know him well, so she thought he was almost flawless based on his kindness towards her.

After a long time, she roughly understood the true nature of the three men in the family.

Her second brother really cared about the family, taking care of the third and fourth brothers, as well as his big sister.

Even if a family member committed a big mistake, he would still show tolerance after some persuasion.

As for her third brother, he was always jovial and full of smiles but deserved a good beating for his loose tongue. Nevertheless, he has never done anything to hurt her feelings, always putting her first.

She had found out from the villagers in secret that the day after she joined the family, her third brother called old lady Liu the human trafficker to buy her away, but he slapped himself and turned his face into a pig head, because he had apologized to her publicly for intending to sell her.

She actually understood that her third brother wanted to sell her because he thought she was the original owner of the body. He had already agreed with old lady Liu to sell her the day before, but perhaps he found her different from the original owner and couldn’t bear to sell her anymore.

Her third brother’s fight with Zhao Shugen was because of her.

Her third brother’s fight with Shi Cai was also because Shi Cai mocked her for having yellow teeth and exaggeratedly pretended to be repulsed by her bad breath, so her third brother immediately went to beat him up.

Since she joined this family, her third brother would not hesitate to fight others for her sake.

She also learned that the day her third brother fought twice for her, when her second brother returned from hunting, many villagers spoke ill of her and even advised her second brother to sell her to old lady Liu for seventeen taels of silver. Although her second brother’s face turned green with anger, he didn’t recklessly rush to fight those who slandered her like her third brother did.

Even though she didn’t need a man to fight over her, the fact that her third brother could be so devoted to her without reservation, unlike her second brother who was indecisive and hesitant, made her appreciate her third brother more.

Her third brother often talked about consummating their marriage, but even after he won the bet, he did not force himself upon her. Days passed without him mentioning the gambling agreement and asking her to fulfill it.

She gave him five copper coins, but she didn’t believe that those few copper coins would stop his mouth. He was just being gentle and couldn’t bear to truly force himself upon her.

The day she went to Hanging Neck Mountain, although her third brother’s body was weak and about to faint at any moment, he still risked his life to come looking for her, just because he was afraid she would be scared all alone on that haunted mountain.
