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

Xiao Yishan's face was cold, and he said nothing.


"Brother Xiao, how can you not understand my heart?" she said in agony, "Nowadays Su Qingyue is so wealthy, she doesn't care at all about your modest assets. I followed you without a name or status, even signed a deed of sale, and you still doubt my sincerity?"


Xiao Yishan's expression softened a bit. After such a long time together, she was very satisfying to him in bed, and he admittedly harbored some fondness for her.


"Brother Xiao, for the fields in Wushan Village, you only kept eight acres for yourself to farm, and rented out the rest. Why not hire someone to cultivate all eight acres?" she suggested. "Your fourth brother is in town, and as his elder, you should take care of him. The rents from our properties will still come in, and you can have your third brother find you a job in town, couldn't you?"
