The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1238 - Chapter 1238 1238

Chapter 1238: 1238 Chapter 1238: 1238 “Miss Xie.” Yinzhu’s eyes brimmed with tears of gratitude.

When the two returned to the haunted house, dozens of workers were orderly dismantling the old rooms and removing the debris.

Su Qingyue saw Xiao Yishan’s tall and sturdy figure also helping to smash walls and demolish the old structure.

She walked over, “Second brother, what brings you here?”

Xiao Yishan turned around and saw Su Qingyue in front of him, dressed in pink, her skin white as snow, her features as exquisite as a painting.

He was momentarily dazzled, “Yue’er…”

Foreman Huang Da came over, “Shopkeeper lady, I used to do part-time work with second Brother Xiao occasionally on the main street of the town, we are acquainted.

Knowing that second Brother Xiao is your husband’s own second brother, he said he wanted to help with the work, so I didn’t refuse.”

Su Qingyue gave a slight nod, “That’s fine.

It’s just hard on the second brother.

Let’s pay him wages just the same.”

“Talking about money within the family…” Xiao Yishan’s resolute face flashed with displeasure.

“There’s an old saying, even brothers should settle accounts clearly.” Su Qingyue smiled, “Second brother, you’ve just arrived in town…” She glanced at the weather, it was already noon, “Have you had lunch?

Come on, let me take second brother out to eat.”

Xiao Yishan really wanted to go eat with Qingyue, but he also wanted to save her some money, “The two female cooks you hired will have lunch ready shortly.

It’s fine for me to eat with the workers.

No need to waste money going out.”

He swept his gaze over the ample foundation of the estate, “You and third brother bought this haunted house, I heard it cost 1500 taels of silver, and there were four houses on the side that you bought and demolished, which also cost a fair amount of money.

Yue’er, would you lose money on this purchase?”

“I won’t.” She said, “I bought it to build shops.

The foundation of the haunted house along with the four houses beside it, if demolished and rebuilt, can connect with the main street shops to form a row.

Once completed, it could at least double in value.”

Xiao Yishan found it incredible, “Yue’er, you are really smart.

But I heard that it’s difficult for ordinary people to get approval to build shops.”

“I have a good relationship with Grandma Zheng.

I can do it.” She grinned.

Xiao Yishan looked at her radiant smile, his heart thumping erratically.

Thinking of Li Rong’er at home, who always had the appearance of a Maid, she didn’t even deserve to carry shoes for Yue’er in front of him.

His heart was constantly overwhelmed by regret.

Su Qingyue observed Xiao Yishan’s facial expression and knew he still had feelings for her.

But since second brother had already agreed to give up, then she might as well disregard it.

Qingyue signaled Yinzhu with her eyes, “Won’t you greet second Master?”

Yinzhu immediately bowed to Xiao Yishan, “Maid Jiang Yinzhu, sees second Master.”

Xiao Yishan glanced at Yinzhu, “She is…”

Su Qingyue calmly stated, “My newly acquired Maid.”

“Second Master has worked hard.

Allow me to serve you a cup of tea…” Yinzhu was about to step back when Xiao Yishan hurriedly said, “There’s no need.

I’m just a rough unsophisticated mountain man.

If I’m thirsty, a sip of well water will do.

No need for the luxury of tea.”

Initially, Yinzhu was somewhat afraid of Xiao Yishan, with his icy countenance and his left face full of scratch scars.

But hearing him say this, she actually smiled, “Second Master is indeed a forthright person.”

Xiao Yishan felt shy being praised by a young Lady.

Xiao Yuchuan had just come from outside by then; the entire courtyard wall of the haunted house had been demolished, and one could see the ongoing demolition inside from the main street, “Second brother, what are you doing here?”

He had been out ordering the materials needed for the new construction.

The clay bricks, tiles, woodaEUR| and furniture to be made, all could be ordered in advance.
