The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 727

Chapter 727: 727 Anonymous Divine Doctor 1

“Awoo…” The mischievous cub lets out a whine, rubbing his head against his owner.

She touched its fluffy forehead, “Look at you growing up so well. It’s not really appropriate calling you a little mixed-fur anymore at this size. How about big mixed-fur?”

“Awoo…” It doesn’t understand what its owner is saying, and just whimpers.

“Alright, let’s decide. Your new name will be Big Mixed Fur.” She stroked its back fur.

“Awoo…” It sticks out its tongue and licks its owner’s hand. It knows that if its owner hadn’t picked it up from the mountain, it would have been dead long ago.

“It actually came back.” Xiao Yuchuan turned to look at his wife and the tamed little mixed fur, which should be called big mixed fur now, “Wife, I really don’t get it. The wolf you raised is more obedient than a dog.”

“In the past few months, while you all were building the house during the day, I was training it on the mountain almost every day.” Su Qingyue said, “The effort that I have put in is invisible to others. The wolf is a wild animal. We live in the village and can’t let it hurt people or livestock. If we can tame it, then we keep it. Fortunately, the mixed fur didn’t disappoint me. Otherwise, as it grows, I could only send it back to the mountain forest to survive on its own. But now, as long as it doesn’t hurt people, we can keep it.”

Xiao Yuchuan said with a smile, “If we don’t tell anyone, no one would guess just from its appearance that Big Mixed Fur is a wolf. It just looks like a beautifully groomed wolf-dog.”

“That’s great. It’s safer for it.”

The carriage was heading towards the town, and when they arrived, it was around 7 or 8 o’clock in the morning.

It had been quite a while since they were building the house. Su Qingyue originally had a deal with Tao Meijiao to start the business for Tao Mansion’s tavern a month later. But the time period agreed on had long passed. Probably due to the abundance of mountains in Longwan town, the fern season had ended, but the Rich Source Tavern and Drunken Immortal Pavilion could still occasionally receive fresh ferns sold by the villagers.

As Su Qingyue was also busy, one time when she went to town to buy vegetables, she visited the Tao Mansion and told them that she would help Tao Meijiao once her own house was completed.

She had heard that no fresh fern had been available for a period of time, and not a single bayberry could be found on the mountain now.

The timing seemed to be almost right.

Su Qingyue brought a large cloth bag filled with dried fern, and a large jar of bayberry wine weighing about sixty jin.

Xiao Yuchuan knew his wife was here to sell fern and wine. He led the carriage to the market and said, “Wife, shall I take care of the stall selling dried fern and bayberry wine?”

“No need for a stall,” Qingyue said, “We have 10,000 jin of dried fern at home. A stall wouldn’t be able to sell them all even in a decade. Let’s go to the Tao Mansion, I want to close a business deal.”

Since Xiao Yuchuan was a vendor, he knew about the situation in town, but since his wife had never mentioned the Tao Mansion before, he asked, “Is it the Tao Mansion that runs the tavern?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Yuchuan then drove the carriage towards Tao Mansion, “Wife, when did you get to know the folks at the Tao Mansion?”

Qingyue simply said, “When I caught the thief in town that time. The owner of one of the moneybags was Miss Tao Meijiao. She insisted on becoming friends with me.”

“My dear, although we may seem poor compared to the wealthy young ladies in town, if she tries to befriend you out of the blue like this, she might be after something.”

Qingyue stared at Third Brother’s retreating figure, feeling she had underestimated him before.
