Chapter 440: 440 No wasting allowed

“Wife…” He wanted to say something else, but she had already closed the door to the master bedroom.

Once she left, he no longer resisted, quickly drinking the medicine in three mouthfuls. Placing the medicine bowl on the table, he took a deep breath, rorcetL111Y Dlew out tne 011 lamp, ana went straignt to sleep.

Save money, save money, save money…

His wife had become as stingy as him…

Or maybe not, he still felt that he was very generous.

Early the next morning when Su Qingyue got up, she saw the window of the master bedroom open and third brother working on his embroidery again.

For some reason, whenever she saw him, a big man, carefully sewing her clothes with a needle and thread, her heart felt warm.

Last night, third brother didn’t eat dinner, nor did she ask him if he wanted to eat in the middle of the night. After taking the medicine, it could at least fill his belly.

She went in to check his pulse, and as expected, third brother’s health was good. His fever had subsided, and he was only trapped by the poison in his system.

Everyone had a satisfying meal for breakfast.

After washing the dishes, Su Qingyue picked up the basket and prepared to go up the mountain again.

“Wife, are you still planning to go to Hanging Neck Mountain?” Xiao Yuchuan sat on the bed with his body sticking out from the open window, full of anxiousness. “There really is a ghost there, don’t go!”

He was so anxious that he wanted to get out of bed.

She furrowed her eyebrows, “Xiao Yuchuan, don’t cause me any more trouble!”

“I…” He looked wronged. “I’m just worried about you.”

Xiao Yishan also had an uneasy look on his face. “Yue’er, third brother said he really saw a ghost.”

“A red-clothed female ghost, right?” She smirked. “I’m going to meet her again! ”

“Yue’er…” Xiao Yishan’s thick eyebrows furrowed. “If you go again, not to mention that third brother will follow you, even I won’t be able to resist getting out of bed.”

She walked back to the window carrying an empty carrying pole. “Second brother saw too, I bought so much sugar and so many jars to make bayberry wine. Those bayberry trees are full of berries, the whole tree filled with red fruits… ”

Xiao Yishan asked with a serious face, “The bayberry tree you’re talking about, isn’t it at the peak of Hanging Neck Mountain where the mountain rocks recess not far away?”

“Second brother indeed hunts all year round,” she laughed. “You even know the bayberry trees on Hanging Neck Mountain so well.” He was indeed right.

Xiao Yuchuan’s facial expression also changed slightly. “Wife, everyone in the village knows where that tree is.”

“Oh? That bayberry tree is so famous.”

“I’ve told you before, the woman who hung herself died on the bayberry tree you were picking from, hanging by her neck!” Xiao Yuchuan said chillingly. “Several villagers have seen a red -clothed female ghost under the tree, and some have even seen the female ghost’s neck hanging on the tree, swaying as the wind blew…”

“Third brother, I’m as timid as a mouse, don’t scare me…”

“It’s true.” Even the always calm Xiao Qinghe had a serious look on his face.

“That’s what the villagers say.”

Xiao Yuchuan frowned. “Wife, I think the female ghost I saw yesterday must have been the one who hung herself…”

“Third brother, stop talking, I’m scared!” She pretended to be frightened.

“Then don’t go…”

She was quite disdainful. “Come on, third brother, what did the female ghost you saw look like? Red clothes, long hair, and about the same height as me, right?”

“It seems so…” He recalled. “It was raining, and my eyes were blurred by the rain. I didn’t see clearly at the time and felt that she disappeared after a flash..”
