The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1277 - Chapter 1277 1277

Chapter 1277: 1277 Chapter 1277: 1277 Late at night, Su Qingyue saw that he had fallen asleep hanging there and opened her eyes.

She couldn’t deny that she felt sorry for him.

But since he dared to treat her that way, he deserved to be punished.

She was not someone who easily softened her heart.

After all, he wouldn’t die, as long as he was still breathing, she could bring him back with medicine.

So she went to sleep with her mind at ease.

Early the next morning, Su Qingyue got up, opened the door of her room, and there stood Maid Yinzhu with a basin of water, saying respectfully, “Young Lady, your face-washing water is ready.”

“Bring it in.”

As Yinzhu entered the room, she was startled by the person hanging upside down from the beam, but upon seeing clearly, it was the son-in-law.

She wasn’t foolish and immediately guessed that the young Lady must have been displeased with the son-in-law and had hung him up.

Well, sometimes men do need to be taught a lesson.

After Su Qingyue had washed up, she said, “Let him down.”

“Yes,” replied Yinzhu.

It was easy for her; she flew up to the beam, untied the rope from Xiao Yuchuan’s feet, and while at it, supported his back so that he safely landed on the ground.

As there should be a distance between men and women, as soon as he was on the ground, Yinzhu let go of him.

Xiao Yuchuan was frozen stiff all over and naturally couldn’t stand steadily, so he fell to the ground.

Yinzhu helped him to sit on a chair.

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes eagerly looked towards Su Qingyue, “Wife, are you no longer angry with me?”

Su Qingyue still paid him no heed and only said to Yinzhu, “You go watch the gate today, and have Liu Sheng come to serve him.”

“This servant shall go right away.” Yinzhu turned and left.

Su Qingyue also left the room.

Xiao Yuchuan watched his wife’s stunning retreating figure and suddenly understood that his wife was not the kind of petty woman who could be mollified with just a little coaxing.

Her heart was harder than iron.

It seemed he loved his wife a little more.

No matter what, he wouldn’t bear to make his wife suffer even a little, not to mention hanging upside down and freezing all night.

He grimaced, not knowing when her anger would finally subside.

Suddenly, he remembered his wife had sent a message through Yinzhu, saying that as long as he could defeat her, it would be alright…

At once, his spirits lifted, and he no longer felt weak.

After eating his breakfast, he went to practice martial arts.

For the reconstruction of the pharmacy storefront, Su Qingyue supervised and rushed the work, hiring several more workers, and one month later, the newly rebuilt residence was completed and decorated.

That day, they removed a row of fences along the street, and the craftsmen filled the rubble into baskets and carted it away on a flatbed rented by the employer.

The passersby in the town all stared at the newly-constructed shops of the Xiao family.

The forty shops stretched along the street were all three-story buildings, with stores on the ground level, running in a line up to the farthest ends next to the busiest main street shops.

The shops extended to the backyard, where there were also houses.

The capacity to build forty shops was attributed to the large space obtained by demolishing the haunted house, together with the original four houses next to the haunted house, which she had bought and torn down, to erect in a continuous line.

Su Qingyue thought that since she didn’t have a Mansion in the town and the location of the former haunted house not only occupied a large area along the street but also had an exceptionally long piece of land in the backyard.

Therefore, she designed the front half of the haunted house to be commercial storefronts, while the large rear part was still constructed as a residence.

The main gate to the residence was placed on the side, of course, with the path leading through it running along the tall fence.

The vermilion gate was especially impressive, guarded by stone lions, and above the gate hung a horizontal tablet with two gilt-lettered charactersaEUR”Xiao Mansion.

Su Qingyue decided to keep ten shops for her own use.

In fact, even while the shops were still under construction, she had spread word about them, and now that they were just finished, all thirty shops were rented out.

Standing on the street, Su Qingyue surveyed the fruits of several months of hard labor, and at last, her project was complete.
