The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1258 - Chapter 1258 Grieved 2

Chapter 1258: Grieved 2 Chapter 1258: Grieved 2 “It’s just a small matter that happened ten days ago, third brother, why can’t you let it go?” Xiao Yishan was also defiant.

Xiao Yuchuan clenched his teeth, “Second brother, I really want to knock some sense into you!”

Xiao Yishan’s expression turned ugly, “I am still your elder brother, how could you treat me with such an attitude?”

“I don’t have an elder brother like you!” Xiao Yuchuan was furious.

“Hmph, you don’t have an elder brother like meaEUR|” A trace of mockery crossed Xiao Yishan’s face, “When you were trapped in the cold pool, if I hadn’t led people to rescue you, you’d be dead by now.

Do you still have the right to stand here and talk to me?”

Su Qingyue, who had been silent all this time, was surprised, “Second brother, you…”

Xiao Yuchuan was hit where it hurt and, despite his anger, he could not speak.

Once he said it, Xiao Yishan immediately regretted it, but he couldn’t swallow his pride and take his words back, “Did I say something wrong?”

Su Qingyue’s expression turned cold, “Of course you’re wrong.

With my skill in using poison, controlling a few people to risk their lives for me, and then promising them a hefty reward to help me break the walls of the cold pool is entirely feasible.

Even if I didn’t control others, offering two hundred taels each, there would be plenty of people lining up to work for me.

The people you, Xiao Yishan, called up, didn’t they all initially agree to thirty taels each and then refuse to continue halfway?

It was only after I offered them fifty taels apiece that they agreed to keep going.

You, Xiao Yishan, are just a worker I paid for.

In the end, you just saved me some money.

Do you really think you’re our third brother’s savior?”

Xiao Yishan thought about the fifty taels Yue’er had given him; initially, he hadn’t wanted to accept it, but in the end, Yue’er quietly gave it to him, and he had not given it back.

If he hadn’t accepted those fifty taels, maybe there could have been gratitude, but after accepting them…

It was just taking someone’s money to solve their problems.

And fifty taels were a large sum that Xiao Yishan had never saved up before.

Su Qingyue curled her lip in disdain, “Originally, I was grateful to you, second brother; we should separate feelings from business.

But if you insist on using your favor to pressure people, then that bit of gratitude will also be completely gone.”

Xiao Yishan regretted it deep inside, “Qingyue, I…”

Su Qingyue patted Xiao Qinghe’s shoulder, “Fourth brother, our second brother is kind-hearted.

Protecting his woman, your third brother owes him a favor, and relying on that little favor, I can’t seek justice for you this time.

Fourth brother, you’ll have to suffer in silence.”

A look of guilt flashed in Xiao Qinghe’s eyes, “Qingyue, I’ve put you in a difficult position with third brother.”

“It’s not a difficult position.

For you, both third brother and I would stand by your side without hesitation,” Su Qingyue said coldly, “Xiao Yishan, as you said, the family has been divided, this is not your home anymore, please leave.”

Yinzhu had heard about the cold pool incident from the young lady, and with Xiao Yishan having accepted as much as fifty taelsaEUR”a sum a poor family would never save in a lifetimeaEUR”he still had the face to claim a favor.

And that aside, Xiao Yishan had also taken the young lady’s four new houses and several acres of farmland.

Had he ever mentioned owing a favor then?

Yinzhu was furious and gestured towards Xiao Yishan with a beckoning hand, “Mr.

Xiao, please leave.”

Since her young lady refused to acknowledge this second brother, she saw no reason to be polite anymore.

Li Rong’er had been eavesdropping at the entrance of the courtyard and, seeing Xiao Yishan soften, she hurried over and clung to his arm, “Brother Xiao, they’re driving people away, don’t stick around, let’s go back to our room…”

Xiao Yishan looked at Li Rong’er with mixed feelings, somewhat annoyed at his over-protectiveness towards her.

What was done was done, and there was nothing to be done about it; he was just about to step away.

PS: I was delayed by some matters yesterday and couldn’t update; sorry about that, everyone.

Making up for it now; there will be seven more chapters coming today.
