Chapter 443: 443 scammed ten taels.
“Not much, just ten taels of silver is enough.” She glanced at him, “The Li family is a wealthy one in the village, ten taels of silver is nothing to you, right?”
“Ten taels it is then.” He looked at her horrifying face, not understanding why he was interested in her. She was clearly a greedy woman, “Su Qingyue, if you were to be with me, let alone ten taels of silver, I could even give you one or two hundred taels.”
She gave his handsome face a dismissive glance, an air of grimness in her expression, “I’m already married.”
“That’s not a marriage, you are merely treated as a property that has been purchased.” He reminded her of the truth, “The Xiao Family can trade you off anytime.”
“At least until your offer reaches one hundred taels, the Xiao family would rather live in a mountain cave than sell me.”
“You won’t be happy!”
“Cut the crap!” She opened her right palm, “Give me the ten taels of silver.”
His face darkened, at first when she blackmailed Li Wangcai, he found it amusing and entertaining, but now that she was blackmailing him, why did it feel so painful?
A sinister gleam flashed through his eyes. He rummaged in his sleeve pocket.
Not to mention ten taels, he even had twenty taels with him at this moment. However, he only took out eight taels and said indifferently, “I only brought eight taels of silver, I owe you two, I’ll give them to you later.”
Su Qingyue accepted the silver, tossed it in the air, “I have accepted your money. I won’t tell anyone your secret. Not even my third brother.”
Eight taels was not a small sum, a poor family might not be able to save that much in a few years.
She tucked it away, not bothering to ask when he would give the remaining two. Even if he only gave eight in total, she felt that the hush money was just about right.
Approaching the two baskets filled with bayberries, she picked up the carrying pole and headed down the mountain.
“Su Qingyue, that woman in red is not my mistress!” Li Gui called out from behind her.
She simply didn’t believe him. If that wasn’t the case, why did he pay the hush money? From the moment she mentioned the woman in red, his startled expression made it clear that he was definitely related to the woman in some
way.
Curiosity killed the cat, everyone has their own secrets. It doesn’t matter what relationship he had with that woman, she wasn’t going to delve into it.
Upon returning to the Xiao Family, even before she managed to enter the courtyard entrance, Xiao Yuchuan’s voice had already resounded, ‘Wife, you’re back.”
“Yue’er…”
“Qingyue…”
The voices of the second and the fourth brothers rang out simultaneously.
In the yard, Qingyue crushed the last batch of bayberries, mixed it with sugar, and put it in a big jar to naturally ferment.
Xiao Yuchuan asked, “Wife, did you really not see the red-dressed female ghost on Hanging Neck Mountain?”
She shot him a glare, “You can go hang yourself!”
“Uh huh…” He laughed awkwardly, “Did you run into a ghost?”
“Wife, maybe you’re just too terrifying, even ghosts wouldn’t dare to appear in front of you…” Xiao Yuchuan fixated anxiously on her expression.
She just calmly moved the jar into a corner of the storage room.
When she returned, she went to the kitchen, took a ladle, walked over to the table beside the master bedroom’s bed, and refilled the water pot with drinking water..
