The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1302 - Chapter 1302 1302

Chapter 1302: 1302 Chapter 1302: 1302 Xiao Yishan’s facial expression was grim, and Li Rong’er hurriedly helped him with some food, “Brother Xiao, have some fish.”

“I’ll do it myself.” He was slightly uncomfortable.

Throughout the meal, the five people hardly spoke a word.

After the meal, the servants cleared the table.

Xiao Yishan hesitated slightly before saying to Xiao Yuchuan, “Third Brother, I’m thinking of finding a job in town.”

“That’s fine.” Yuchuan’s response was concise.

“I was hoping to temporarily stay at your Mansion until I find a job.” Xiao Yishan had thought this was a triviality, considering he had previously gotten along well with his third brother and staying at his house for a few days should have been fine even after they had divided the family.

Yet, Xiao Yuchuan replied, “Ask my wife.”

Xiao Yishan’s face stiffened, “Third Brother, what do you mean?

Is it too much for your second brother to stay at your place for a couple of days?”

“Second brother staying for a few days is fine,” Su Qingyue interjected, seeing that both brothers looked upset.

“You always understand, Yue’er.

I’ll move out as soon as I find a job.” Xiao Yishan, with an iron-blue face, walked towards Elegant Garden.

Looking back, he saw Li Rong’er still in a daze and said discontentedly, “Aren’t you coming?”

“Coming.” Li Rong’er trotted to catch up with his pace.

Upon returning to the side room, she couldn’t help but complain, “Brother Xiao, your third brother is really out of line…

And Su Qingyue, what does she mean by ‘staying a few days is fine’?

It should be fine no matter how long he stays.”

“Dare you say more!” Xiao Yishan glared at her, “Initially, I got along very well with my third and fourth brothers, and it’s all because of you that things have turned out like this!”

Li Rong’er shrank back and fell silent.

In the hall, Xiao Yuchuan said to Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth Brother, I know what happened at the medicine hall today, and I’m sorry you were put in that position.

But running a business is hard, and success won’t come overnight.

Please bear with it a little longer.”

Xiao Qinghe nodded, then had the servant Liu Sheng push him back to his room in his wheelchair.

“Wife, I didn’t expect the second brother to come, and to bring that woman Li Rong’er with him.” Xiao Yuchuan looked at Su Qingyue apologetically, “I really wanted to send them away, but after all, he’s still my second brother.”

“It’s okay,” Su Qingyue said, “Letting them stay a few days is no trouble.”

Xiao Yuchuan, having been busy all day, returned to his room with Qingyue.

After being affectionate, he quickly fell asleep.

The cake house business was booming; in the following days, the cakes would sell out shortly after the shop opened in the morning, and customers would queue up to snap up freshly baked ones.

The restaurant business was also very good.

Su Qingyue had taught the chef to prepare some dishes unavailable at other restaurants, and whether for dining or lodging, guests were flowing in like clouds.

Unfortunately, the medicine hall hadn’t seen a single customer for several days.

Xiao Qinghe was becoming more and more despondent.

Xiao Yishan had found work at a rice shop carrying rice the second day after arriving in town, but Li Rong’er persuaded him against it, arguing that his third brother was now a big boss, and it would be undignified for him, as the second brother, to work as a servant for someone else.

She encouraged him to open his own shop.

He said he lacked the smarts and the craftsmanship, but Rong’er insisted she had the skills.

She suggested they could try making snacks and even learn cooking from the chefs at the Xiao Mansion.

Seeing his third brother had become a big boss, Xiao Yishan thought that working as hard labor wouldn’t provide a future, so he agreed to the idea.

He started looking for a shopfront in town and, after several days, still hadn’t found a satisfactory one.

Li Rong’er, while persuading him, wasn’t eager about the shop.

She was eating well and being treated nicely at the Xiao Mansion.

Opening a shop would mean hiring people, which Xiao Yishan would surely find too expensive, and he would want her to cook, which would be exhausting.

As long as she could live comfortably, even if just for one more day, she would take it.
