The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 725

Chapter 725: 725 Biggest Sale Dried Fern Vegetables 1

She turned her gaze to third brother, who was hoeing the ground with just as much strength as second brother. Each swing of his hoe sank deep into the earth, his work both quick and efficient.

They both wore their old clothes, without any fear of staining them.

The new clothes she had bought them remained unworn during this time as they engaged in hard labor.

Surprisingly, third brother had a lot of strength when it came to farming.

If a stranger were to see him, they might mistake third brother for a young master from a well-to-do family who had never done hard labor. Only his clothes gave away the fact that he was impoverished, the attire of a rough man who lacked wealth.

Su Qingyue also started to help but was quickly stopped by Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan, who insisted she sit and rest.

They didn’t want her exerting her strength, so she occasionally helped a little but never continuously like the two men were.

As the sun became more intense, Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan removed their clothes, draping them over the courtyard wall.

The two men worked shirtless under the sun.

Su Qingyue couldn’t help but admire second brother Xiao Yishan’s muscular physique. She had to admit, his figure was impressively built.

On closer observation, third brother Xiao Yuchuan, though not as bulky as his older brother, possessed a lean strength of his own.

These were two different types of men. According to current beauty standards, women tended to prefer men like third brother, who appeared refined, vibrant, and handsome.

Second brother, with his powerful build and roughness, was not the type that modern women fancied.

As Xiao Yuchuan was digging, he noticed his wife’s attention was focused more on his brother. “Why do you keep staring at second brother?” he asked, displeased.

“Nothing.” She admitted candidly, “Second brother has a good figure. I’m just looking.” She only meant to look, without any ulterior intentions.

“My figure is also good. You should be looking at me too,” he grumbled.

“I won’t look.”

“Humph!” Xiao Yuchuan harrumphed in dissatisfaction, “You really don’t know what’s good for you. Other people want to look, but I won’t let them.”

“Then you can let other people look.” Su Qingyue suddenly remembered something, “By the way, third brother, how are things going with you and your girl, Liu Xianglian?”

This comment not only made Xiao Yuchuan frown but also caused Xiao Yishan to pause momentarily in his work.

However, Xiao Yishan only cast a disapproving glance at Su Qingyue before resuming his digging.

“Su Qingyue, are you deaf or just ignoring me?” Xiao Yuchuan narrowed his eyes, “I said I have nothing to do with that Liu woman!”

“Get back to your digging,” she responded dismissively.

By the end of the day, the six small plots of land were dug up by the three of them. Since these new plots needed extra soil for planting, Xiao Yuchuan utilized the horse-drawn cart to evenly distribute the remaining soil from their previous excavation of a mound onto the plots. This ensured a satisfactory soil level in each plot.

When they returned home from their new house in the evening, fourth brother had already prepared dinner.

Walking into a warm meal after a hard day’s work felt really good to Su Qingyue.

Unfortunately, even though the plots were ready, they didn’t have any seeds to sow.

With only ten cents left at home, they didn’t have enough money to buy seeds for six vegetable plots.

Since Su Qingyue and Xiao Qinghe decided to keep their private money secret, they didn’t plan on revealing it to anyone.

The next day, early in the morning, Xiao Yishan left for the mountains with his hunting tools.

Xiao Yuchuan headed towards the town with the horse-drawn cart, with Su Qingyue and the little bastard sitting in the cart.
