Chapter 916: 916 Haitang’s Scheme 1

He gazed at her beautiful, tear-stained little face, and his heart ached, “I’m sorry, Rong’er, I…”

She gave a sorrowful smile, “From now on, if Brother Xiao could just spare me the scolding, that would be enough.”

“If you’ve done nothing wrong, how could I be unreasonable?” Xiao Yishan said, “Now that third brother has gone to such extremes, it’s good to settle things clearly. I will go pick some sticky soil later and set up the stove first.”

“That’s good.” She asked with concern, “How about your injury…”

“It wasn’t serious to begin with, and the medicine third brother prepared works wonders. It’s no trouble at all now.”

“Just don’t overexert yourself.”

Touched by her considerate words, Xiao Yishan was moved, “I won’t.”

When Xiao Yuchuan saw that second brother hadn’t come back, he knew well that with second brother’s temperament, he must have been wrapped around Li Rong’er’s finger again.

After breakfast, Xiao Yuchuan said to Su Qingyue, “Wife, I’m going to town to buy some clay bricks.”

She took out a packet of silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it to him, “Third brother, here, buy whatever we need. Also, bring back twenty Jin of pork later, and cut ten Jin for fourth brother.”

“All right.” Xiao Yuchuan had only saved up three taels of silver during this time, so he accepted without refusal.

After all, the money in the house was all earned by his wife. Now building the stove required money, building the kitchen and the thatched house needed money, and purchasing stove tools as well. His three taels of silver were far from enough.

In fact, if it had been in the past, he would definitely have built a shed, plastered mud on stones underneath, and just set up a simple stove to get by. But with a wife now, he didn’t want to make things hard for her.

Qingyue thought for a while, “Third brother, buy some extra clay bricks. We can use them to build walls for the bathroom and the thatched house as well.”

He nodded, “That’s what I was thinking too.”

After discussing with Su Qingyue what to buy, he saw Xiao Qinghe in the yard and said, “Fourth brother, can I borrow your horse-drawn cart for a bit?”

Qinghe smiled, “If third brother needs it, just take it.”

Without further ceremony, he drove the horse-drawn cart away.

Xiao Yishan saw Xiao Yuchuan leave and then picked up an empty basket and a hoe as he headed out the door.

Su Qingyue called out to his tall and sturdy figure, “Second brother, you’ve been hurt, can’t you rest for a few more days?”

Warmed by her continued concern for him, Xiao Yishan felt a wave of warmth, “The medicine third brother prepared is highly effective, and my injury was never severe, it has almost healed, it’s all right. I’m going to go get some sticky soil to set up the stove.”

Su Qingyue knew he had no money to build a kitchen and had to set it up by hand. He didn’t ask to borrow money, so she was reluctant to play the good Samaritan, “Then, second brother, take care of yourself.”

Xiao Yishan replied and left the house as well.

He pondered where there would be plenty of sticky soil and set off for the mountain with an empty basket in tow.

He stopped at a small mound, moved a few large stones aside, and started digging with his hoe. Soon enough, he had filled a basket.

Turning around, he saw Liu Haitang had followed him at some point, and he couldn’t help but frown, “What are you doing here?”

“I’ve come to find you.” She was straightforward.

“What could you and I possibly have left to talk about?” He spoke in a tone cold enough to cast one away for a thousand miles.

Tears slipped down her delicately made-up face, “Dashan, have you truly forgotten me altogether? Don’t you have any fond memories of our past relationship at all?”

“You and I, apart from old grudges, where’s this old affection?” He snapped back sharply, “Get lost!”

She directly lunged toward him and hugged him, “Dashan, I was wrong before, the man I love is you! The man I’ve always loved is you, marrying Wan Fangcai back then… I truly had no choice!”

“Get away from me!” He shoved her aside.
