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

Sun Chen-shi chimed in, "That's right. If everyone who owes money can get away with not paying just by saying they don't have money, where's the justice? Where's the law?"


Xiao Yishan's face was a mix of shame and discomfort. As the head of the family, all he could do was negotiate again, "Granny Sun, we really don't have any money at the moment, just two hundred copper coins in total..."


"What! Just two hundred copper coins!" Granny Sun screamed, "I don't care, your family must pay me back, even if you have to die to do it!"


Standing silently nearby, Su Qingyue calmly said, "Why don't you tell us, how exactly do you want the Xiao Family to pay you back?" The day before, the second brother had already paid her one tael and ten copper coins. Yesterday, he only managed to catch a snake and a wild rabbit, which, even if sold, would not be enough to pay off the debt at their current value.
