“It’s quite simple, you’ll get a hang of it once you learn.”
Aunt Zhang casually chatted for a bit more.
With an outsider present, Xiao Qinghe decided to hold off any more hugging of his wife for now.
As the carriage approached the village, many villagers saw the Xiao Family’s wife driving the horse-drawn cart and couldn’t believe their eyes.
“Are we seeing ghosts in the daytime? The Xiao Family’s wife is driving a carriage!” Ding Er yelled from the roadside.
Aunt Zhang was not amused, “With those dog eyes of yours, can you even see ghosts in daylight? The girl is fine, what nonsense are you talking about!”
“Alright alright, Aunt Zhang, you’re a good person.” Ding Er walked over, “When Su Qingyue was still with the Zhu Family, I never saw you being nice to her. How come suddenly you’re so supportive?”
Aunt Zhang replied honestly, “That’s because I didn’t know how good of a person Qingyue is. If I had known earlier, I would’ve married her to my son. Speaking of which, my son is already fifteen, and we’ll have to start looking for a wife for him soon…”
Xiao Yishan, with his tall and sturdy figure, was waiting by the road with his crutch. The little bastard was also there.
Su Qingyue saw the man and the ‘dog’ from afar. She noticed that her second brother was sweating from being in the sun and wondered how long he had been waiting.
Xiao Yishan was also quite surprised to see his wife driving a carriage.
“Awwooo…” The little bastard saw his owner and excitedly ran over with his ‘dog legs.’
It tried to jump onto the carriage a few times but couldn’t make it.
Su Qingyue helped it onto the carriage.
She looked at Xiao Yishan and disapprovingly said, “Second Brother, it’s sweltering out here. Why are you standing in the sun?”
She looked up at the sky, it was about two or three o’clock in the afternoon, the hottest part of the day.
Ding Er teased, “Xiao Family’s wife, your second brother has been waiting for you for two whole hours. He’s been waiting since before noon, not knowing when you would be back.”
“Nonsense.” Xiao Yishan’s face and neck turned red, “I was waiting for my fourth brother…”
“Oh, come on, you were waiting for your fourth brother.” Ding Er obviously did not believe him, “Chuan used to be out selling goods and sometimes didn’t come back even at midnight. How come you never waited then?”
“…” Xiao Yishan was too embarrassed to retort and simply remained silent.
Ding Er walked to the carriage, “Xiao Family’s wife, where did you borrow this carriage from?”
“It’s not borrowed, she bought it.” Aunt Zhang got off the carriage, “We’re in the village now, Qingyue, here’s your fare for the ride.” She took out three copper coins from her pocket while saying so.
Su Qingyue quickly waved her hands, “Aunt Zhang, you’ve helped me so much recently, I can’t take your money.”
“Take it…” Aunt Zhang tried to insist.
Su Qingyue persevered, “No, really. Last time you found workers to help me, I hadn’t even thanked you properly. If you keep doing this, I’ll get really angry.”
“That’s just a small thing.” Aunt Zhang politely said, “Alright then, I won’t give you the fare. Thanks.”
“It’s nothing. I’ll head back now.” Su Qingyue then asked Xiao Yishan, “Second Brother, do you want to get on the carriage as well?”
He shook his head, “I can walk back.”
“Alright then.” With that, she drove the carriage towards the Xiao Family’s courtyard.
“Xiao Family’s wife, where did you get so much money to buy a carriage?” Ding Er shouted and asked from behind.
Aunt Zhang said, “Ask me instead, I know…”
And so, she mentioned how Su Qingyue made money from selling her pig offal recipe.
Quite a few villagers gathered around, and upon hearing that Su Qingyue had earned 300 taels, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
