Chapter 33: 33 Encourage to sell

Translator: 549690339

He’s picky about his wife, and she’s picky about him. What’s wrong with them?!

The villagers always enjoyed mocking his wife and making fun of the Xiao family; he had never minded it before. But now, thinking of his wife’s clear and pure eyes, it was suddenly unbearable to hear them badmouth her. “Enough!”

Xiao Yishan’s face was cold, his voice frosty.

He was already the tallest and most imposing man in the village, with a body as big and burly as a mountain. His strong arms were muscular and powerful, and the fearsome scars on his left face made the villagers afraid of him.

As his face grew colder, the people around him were too scared to speak.

Qian Zhangshi felt goosebumps, “You… what do you want? You wouldn’t really want to marry me, would you? I’m telling you, I won’t remarry to you. My husband Qian Duotian and Qian Duodi may not be great, but they have land and fields. I can’t stand marrying into your poor family!”

The Qian family had many mouths to feed, so they had to be careful with their food supplies. Sometimes she even had to embroider items to sell to supplement the household budget, and they lived frugally. She had married two brothers in the Qian family; life was a bit tight, but they never starved. The Xiao family, on the other hand, was always so poor they couldn’t even afford food.

Qian Duotian was frightened by Dashan’s intimidating aura and shivering teeth. He glanced at Dashan’s huge fist and thought that if Dashan got angry and threw a punch at him, he would certainly be crippled. He had just lost his nerve to scold his wife and tried to explain, “Dashan, my wife was talking nonsense when she said she’s only worth your wife. Your ugly wife suits you just fine. I don’t like your ugly wife at all, so don’t think about really getting my wife to remarry you. My wife may not be great, but she’s much prettier than yours. If I married your wife, I would have nightmares…”

Qian Zhangshi was moved to tears, hugging her man and wailing, “Duotian, you’re so good to me! Let’s live our lives well, not thinking about all that nonsense and embarrassing ourselves…”

“Ah, my own wife is the best…” Qian Duotian shamelessly grabbed his wife’s rough hand in front of everyone, and they hurried away before Xiao Yishan could start a fight.

The couple ran far away on wobbly legs, finally letting out a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Yishan wasn’t chasing them.

The others shook their heads and sighed, thinking the couple was too cowardly.

Since the Qian family’s commotion, many villagers had gathered. Old woman

Wang Qigu immediately started to inform Xiao Yishan about the situation, “Dashan, you probably don’t know yet since you just got back from hunting, but your brother Chuan tried to sell your wife this morning. Old lady Liu started with a price of three taels of silver but then somehow raised it to seventeen taels.”

Xiao Yishan’s face changed drastically, “Where’s my wife? Has she been sold? Where was she taken?”

Wang Qigu waved her hand, “Not yet. That Chuan, he wasn’t satisfied with seventeen taels. He must be out of his mind! Does he think he can sell his ugly wife for a higher price? Dashan, I think you should intervene and just sell her. How many of us farmers can barely make ends meet, let alone save any silver? It’s already hard enough to have two or three taels saved up. For some, even having enough food is a struggle. If you sell her, subtracting the original cost of sixteen taels, your family would still make a profit of one tael of silver….”
