The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

“As long as my wife likes it,” He shyly scratched his head, “I have been under the weather, falling ill here, catching a cold there, always exhausted these days laying in bed. Therefore, my progress making the embroidered clothes got delayed, and it has taken itself this long to complete one set. There is still another set that I haven’t started embroidering yet…”

“Third Brother, you are doing great already,” She said, wearing the new clothes he had made her. It was only fair she showered him with praises, “Good embroidery can’t only be about speed.”

“My wife thinks my embroidery is good…” Yuchuan beamed, his teeth showing in a wide smile.

Qingyue looked at his shiny white teeth. For the first time, she felt no compulsion to pull them out.

Ever since they started selling the medicinal mud toothpaste, she had prepared a new pot for household use.

Her once yellowed teeth now shone in brilliant whiteness.

However, they were still a bit off when compared with Third Brother’s exceptionally white teeth.

She looked at the other set of clothing that had been cut but not yet embroidered, “Third Brother, what pattern are you planning to embroider this with?”

“The same one…” He had no idea what type of flower should be embroidered on women’s clothes. He saw many village girls in their clothes with some form of embroidery. He hadn’t researched it and the finished set was based on a glance he took at a finished dress in Lady Li’s shop when he went to buy cloth. Unfortunately, due to lack of money, he had bought coarse cloth for making clothes. Feeling that this would not do justice to his wife, he decided to add a pattern to the clothes, mimicking the style available in Lady Li’s shop.

The clothing in Lady Li’s shop were fine cloth with embroidery.

The clothes he made for his wife were coarse cloth with embroidery. To his surprise, it still looked good.

“If both of my sets of clothes are the same color and have the same embroidery, I won’t be able to tell the difference,” She considered before speaking, “For the cloth that hasn’t been made yet, you can create the clothing without adding any embroidery. That would speed things up. Moreover, sometimes when I go into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, wearing overly elaborate clothes would be wasteful. I can wear the one without embroidery in those instances.”

“Sounds good.” Xiao Yuchuan nodded in agreement, “Without the embroidery, even if I work at a slow pace, it wouldn’t take more than three days to finish.”

“Hmm,” She twirled a bit in her new clothes. Even though the fabric of this clothing set was not as good as the lake green cloth she had purchased from Lady Li’s shop, she liked it more. Maybe it was because Third Brother had personally crafted it.

The two men watched as she took a graceful spin. Her long black hair flowed down to her waist, her skin was as pale as snow, her figure enchanting – she was captivatingly beautiful.

Xiao Yishan appeared at the doorway, gazing at his wife until he was lost in admiration.

They had witnessed her transformation – her skin changing from charcoal black, to tan, to its present delicate whiteness…

She was once as thin as a stick, and every day they could see her putting on a bit more weight.

Now, she remained slim, yet her ******** and waist were slender as a willow…

Her eyes were becoming clearer by the day, making them like intoxicating lights that could draw one in.

Even when she made no effort to groom them, her willowy eyebrows still looked good…

However, her face with its pus sores turned into scabs looked rather frightening, with its rich mottled texture.

All three men were savvy enough to know that the scabs would eventually fade and fall off. Their wife had already transformed significantly from being the ugliest woman in the nearby towns…

Once the scabs on her face finally fall off, they wondered what she would look like?

Su Qingyue’s scabs were thick and uneven. They really couldn’t guess her features.

Nevertheless, they believed their wife would certainly not be ugly. She should be a woman of delicate beauty..
