The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177 1177

Chapter 1177: 1177 Chapter 1177: 1177 Looking at her little face drenched with sweat from being tossed about by him all night, he took a clean towel he had prepared at the head of the bed and wiped the sweat off her body.

Holding her warm and delicate body, he felt as if he was in love to the point of grinding his teeth, truly wishing he could knead her into his very marrow.

At noon, Ding Er and his wife delivered a chicken and a duck each as thank-you gifts for Su Qingyue’s lifesaving grace.

The Li Gui’s family also sent over some cloth and ten jin of pork, which Su Qingyue couldn’t refuse, so she accepted them.

The snow stopped after falling for two more days.

Every household in the village was clearing snow.

On the village road, the village chief also called for every family to clean the snow in front of their own doors.

This morning, when Su Qingyue woke up, Xiao Yuchuan had already prepared a steaming hot breakfast.

The thick snow in the yard and at the entrance of the courtyard was also piled up by the early-rising third brother and fourth brother.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuchuan led the carriage to the entrance of the courtyard and set off towards the town with Su Qingyue.

The carriage rumbled along the rugged village road, and the cold wind howled.

Xiao Yuchuan, who was driving the carriage, looked back at his wife sitting on the flatbed cart; her tender cheeks were a bit purple from the cold.

His heart ached unbearably, “Dear, it’s too cold.

I’ll go to the carriage shop later to add a carriage for our house.”

“Alright,” she nodded in agreement.

They had only been using a flatbed cart previously for the convenience of loading goods, such as the dried fern and bayberry wine she had sold.

Now it was time to get a carriage.

Having arrived in town, Xiao Yuchuan said, “Dear, shall we go order a carriage first?”

“Sounds good.”

The couple went to the market where horses and carriages were sold, and the shop owner, seeing they were not dressed poorly and particularly that the woman was astonishingly beautiful, hurriedly came over to greet them, “What are you two interested in buying?”

“Boss, how much is a carriage at your shop?”

The shop owner began to introduce them.

As Su Qingyue was preparing to do business, she couldn’t settle for a shabby carriage; thus, she spent fifty taels of silver to order a type commonly bought by wealthy families.

Since the size of the carriages was roughly similar and there were ready-made materials, they could just fetch goods from a nearby warehouse, and by evening, the carriage would be assembled.

Qingyue left their horse flatbed cart behind, agreeing to come back in the evening to pick up the carriage.

She and Xiao Yuchuan observed the bustling town, looking for a suitable store to purchase.

Despite the cold winter day, the sun was out, and there were quite a few people out shopping.

The two of them spent half a day on the street, inquiring into several shops for saleaEUR”some were too small, some too expensive, and some in unsuitable locations.

There wasn’t a single one that satisfied them.

They went into several pawnshops to inquire but found no shops for sale that they liked.

By the end of the day, they had asked around town as much as they could about stores for sale.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Su Qingyue felt that they would likely return empty-handed.

Walking to the edge of a large residence at the head of the town in the suburbs, they saw the high courtyard wall, much of its plaster peeled off.

Su Qingyue looked up at the weeds on the wall then glanced at the closed courtyard door with its rusted lock, “Third brother, this family looks impressive; why is there nobody living here?”

Xiao Yuchuan replied, “Dear, have you not heard?

This is the most famous haunted house in our town.”

She nodded, “I’ve heard some rumors.

The owner of this haunted house is the Ministry Councillor Gao of our town.
