Su Qingyue immediately covered her face, moved, “Second Brother, you’re such a good man…” Why aren’t you my husband?

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Xiao Yuchuan waited for a moment before asking, “Wife, why did you only say half of your sentence? What’s the second half?”

She put away the scissors, “The second half is that even if I were to kill and rob people, I still wouldn’t cut Second Brother’s hair, such a good man.”

“You also kill and rob people…” Xiao Yuchuan stared at her thin body, “It’s more likely that you get robbed… Gosh, forget it… I shouldn’t say such unlucky things.”

Xiao Yishan was genuinely worried, “Yue’er, you must not do anything silly!”

“Second Brother, don’t worry. With your words, I will change my ways.” Besides, she had no intention of becoming a killer in this life.

“You make it sound like you could actually kill someone.” Xiao Yuchuan shook his head and sighed.

Su Qingyue ignored Chuan and seeing that Second Brother’s strained face still had no smile, she couldn’t help but confess, “Alright, Second Brother, look at this.” She took out a string of money from her sleeve pocket.

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes brightened, “Money!”

She glared at him, “No shit.”

“Wife, where did you get the money?” Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment,

“When you were selling your family heirlooms, I was there too, and I calculated that there wasn’t half a tael in that amount.”

“It’s Fourth Brother’s private money.” It was the money Xiao Qinghe gave her when she planned to run away. Just now, when she went to the secondary bedroom to cut Fourth Brother’s hair, she had shown him the money, and

Qinghe nodded, indicating that he didn’t mind handing over his private funds.

“I didn’t expect that Fourth Brother actually had private money…” Xiao

Yuchuan didn’t mind and was actually happy, “With this extra half a tael, we’re only half a tael short of five taels.”

Su Qingyue also knew that one tael was equivalent to eight hundred copper coins, “Do you have any private money?”

Xiao Yuchuan shook his head, “I wish I had.” He looked at Second Brother, who was lying down, “No need to ask, Second Brother doesn’t have any either.” Xiao Yishan nodded slightly, admitting it.

“Don’t blame Fourth Brother for having private money…” Qingyue hadn’t finished her sentence. Xiao Yishan said, “I knew Fourth Brother probably had half a tael, but that was from before his leg injury. No matter how short of money the family was, we never asked him for it.”

“Now that he’s taken it out, it means Fourth Brother agrees.” She was too embarrassed to say that Fourth Brother knew she wanted to escape and still gave her the money.

“That’s good.” Yishan’s face was still serious.

Qingyue knew he was worried about the money, “Second Brother, actually, it’s not difficult to come up with half a tael of silver.” She took out a cloth bag of silver needles hidden under the padding on the bed, “These silver needles cost one tael of silver. Pawning them for half a tael should be feasible.” However, she wouldn’t pawn the silver needles, which were essential for treating Second Brother and Third Brother. She said this just to put their minds at ease.

Xiao Yishan’s brows were still furrowed, “We still need to sell that snake for four hundred cents…”

“Second Brother, don’t worry, it will definitely sell. Even if the snake meat sells for a little less in town, it’s fine. Perhaps the silver needles can be pawned for more money.” She said lightly, “Anyway, we will definitely gather the five taels of silver.”

She stood up, “There’s still a lot of porridge left from last night, I’ll warm it up and bring it over.”

As the two watched their wife leave the room, their faces showed no signs of relaxation, but instead, they looked even more serious. Even if they barely gathered the required five taels, they would have sold everything they could

sell in the house..
