Southern Wind

The Xiao family, known as the poorest amongst the mountaineers had just spent all their savings as dowry for a daughter-in-law, who was disfigured, dark, skinny, and mute. Mocked as the ugliest bride within miles, she eventually had enough of a life in poverty and escaped, only to fall in the hands of rogues who murdered her. 

When she opened her eyes again, her soul was now that of a killer's, and her disfigurement was healed while her unhealthily tanned skin was now fair as day.... And she could also talk! As she became the most beautiful bride. Villagers kept their distance from the Xiao family, claiming that they were jinxes. But despite her poverty, the bride was fortunate to have a loyal mountaineer husband who spoiled her to bits. Hence, the bride guided her husband to riches, buying farms and tending to them diligently, while starting a family to gain riches through blood and sweat.

The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Li Gui nodded. In fact, he thought she was worth more than fifty taels, but he couldn't say that for fear the Xiao Family would raise the price. He thought fifty taels would be enough to buy her from the Xiao family.


Xiao Yuchuan was annoyed. "Li Gui, you were there the other day. Didn't you hear me say I wouldn't sell my wife for any amount of money? Who told you to come here?"


Xiao Yishan looked at Su Qingyue with heartache, "Yue'er, don't be afraid. No matter the price, second brother will never sell you or let anyone sell you. It's my fault for not controlling third brother, causing this to happen."


Seeing the seriousness on second brother's face, Su Qingyue said, "Second brother, fifty taels is a lot of money. Old lady Liu only offered seventeen taels. Maybe you should sell me."


Li Gui was not short on money, and her running to the Li family would not be the Xiao family's concern. This way, the Xiao Family would get the money, and she could repay their gratitude.
