“Second Brother is so good at hunting, how could he not be able to pay back?” Zhou Fuquan was exasperated, “My friendship with Chuan that has lasted for so many years has been ruined by you and Cuihua!” His anger swelled as he spoke, “Chuan cares greatly for his wife. He said he wouldn’t mind if anyone urged him to act, as long as they didn’t bother his wife. You guys have no idea, I secretly borrowed half a tael of silver outside to give to the Xiao Family…”

“What!” Zhou Hu-shi had been sitting on a low stool, scrubbing clothes in a large basin; she was so angry and shocked that she stood up, “You secretly borrowed money again behind my and your father’s backs to lend to the Xiao Family! You’d like nothing more than to see me, this old bag of bones, die of anger, wouldn’t you?”

“It would have been worthwhile if they were willing to accept it. I was attempting to give them half a tael of silver, but they didn’t want to take it.” Zhou Fuquan said, “Mom, don’t be angry, I have already paid back the half tael of silver that I borrowed behind your backs.”

Wang Cuihua, on the other hand, wasn’t angry, “Grandma, what my husband did was correct. Su Qingyue is such a capable woman; by building good relations with the Xiao Family, we only stand to benefit. Besides, during such difficult times, the Xiao Family didn’t renege on paying back Granny Sun’s six taels of silver, showing that the Xiao Family’s character is not bad. If it weren’t for you, our family would not have fallen out with the Xiao Family.

Zhou Hu-shi, hands on her hips, growled in a deep and loud voice, “I am your mother-in-law, yet here you are blaming me! Is this how a daughter-in-law should treat her mother-in-law!”

“Mom, Cuihua is right…” Zhou Fuquan defended his wife.

Su Qingyue had been listening outside the courtyard of the Zhou Family for a while, and had heard all of what was said.

She thought Zhou Fuquan was genuinely a good person, and Wang Cuihua was acceptable too, though a bit realistic, which was normal. Zhou Hu-shi, however, was quite snobbish.

“Is anyone home?” Su Qingyue deliberately shouted.

“Qingyue!” Wang Cuihua hurried towards the entrance of the courtyard to welcome her in, “Come in quickly…”

Zhou Fuquan too left his son Fuwa, “Sister-in-law, you’re here.”

Su Qingyue glanced at little Fuwa in the courtyard and made an excuse, “I came to see Fuwa.’

“Fuwa, quickly come and call out to your aunt…” Wang Cuihua quickly beckoned her son.

Fuwa, being shy with strangers, hid behind his Grandma and refused to call out to her.

If it were before, Zhou Hu-shi would have let it slide whether her grandson greeted anyone or not. But now, considering she had her eye on the Xiao Family’s fried fern recipe, she had to repair her relationship with Su Qingyue and pulled Fuwa over, “Quick, say it!”

She was a bit rough, which scared Fuwa, and he started crying loudly.

“It’s okay.” Su Qingyue walked into the courtyard and squatted down in front of Fuwa, “Fuwa, behave. Don’t cry…”

“Wa wa wa… Wa wa wa…” Little Fuwa was scared by Su Qingyue’s greenish face and cried even louder.

Zhou Hu-shi’s heart ached for her grandson, ‘Wife of the Xiao Family, it would be better if you stay away. Your face is really not looking good, it’s scaring Fuwa.”

Su Qingyue stood up helplessly, “I really don’t mean to scare the little one.”

“Qingyue is such a good person, it’s just that this little bastard Fuwa doesn’t understand.” Wang Cuihua felt embarrassed, “He’s just a child, don’t take it to heart. ”

“I won’t. ”

“Qingyue, you are so nice.” Wang Cuihua enthusiastically took her hand.

Su Qingyue felt that she didn’t have such a good relationship with her yet, and uncomfortably withdrew her hand. “I wanted to ask, Cuihua, who do you think is better looking, my Third Brother or Fourth Brother?”

Wang Cuihua was stunned, not expecting her to suddenly ask this question, “Of course your Third Brother is more handsome.”

Qingyue asked Zhou Fuquan and Zhou Hu-shi the same question, and they all said Chuan was better looking..
