Tears of emotion welled up in his clear eyes, âWife⦠Qingyueâ¦â
âFourth Brother, please donât cry. Iâm not good at comforting people.â She reached out and pinched his slightly pale cheek, which had not seen sunlight for many years.
He tried to give it back to her, âYou keep itâ¦â
She put on a serious face, âWhen I give you something, you keep it! Second Brother and Third Brother will recover soon. They have their own survival skills. Fourth Brother is disabled in both legs. Having silver by your side could be really helpful in case of any friction.â
She must not be a good person, but when she was in the most difficult time, Third Brother and Second Brother did not want her to leave the Xiao Family. Only he took out all his private money to let her leave.
Only he wanted her to live better and thought about getting her away from the Xiao Family the moment she got a large sum of money. Because he thought the Xiao Family was just a burden to her.
Now that she had some abilities, she naturally repaid with sincerity.
âButâ¦â Xiao Qinghe still hesitated.
Su Qingyue emphasized her tone, âThereâs no but.â
âI donât want it.â He shook his head.
âListen, donât be stubborn. If you donât take it, Iâll get angry. You can hold it for me and Iâll come to you if I need it. But if you need it, please make sure you use it all!â
He held back the urge to cry, wanting to say something else.
Seeing Xiao Yuchuan, who was weak and supporting himself by the wall, coming over, Su Qingyue hurriedly said, âHurry up and take it!â
He had no choice but to put the silver taels in his sleeve pocket.
Xiao Yuchuan walked into the kitchen and saw that Fourth Brotherâs face looked a bit strange. He asked curiously, âFourth Brother, why do you look like youâre about to cry?â
Qinghe collected himself and said indifferently, âNot at all. Itâs just the smoke from the stove.â
The stove fire had just gone out, and there was actually some smoke.
But it wouldnât be enough to make one cry.
Xiao Yuchuan knew that his wife must have said something to Fourth Brother. But without asking questions that shouldnât be asked, he said, âWife, letâs eat breakfast.â
He touched the wall and sat on one of the chairs at the table, âSeeing that all the breakfast dishes were made by Fourth Brother, I am envious.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Qingyue glanced at him, âWhatâs there to be envious of?â
âI also want to make breakfast for youâ¦â He flashed a brilliant smile at her, âI even want to feed you breakfast, Wife, can I feed you todayâs breakfast?â
âNo way!â She rolled her eyes at this.
Yishan came into the yard carrying a wooden bucket, and he hung the washed, old quilt covers and quilt sheets one by one on the bamboo poles set up in the yard.
Su Qingyue shouted at him, âSecond Brother, come and eat breakfast first.â
Hearing his wifeâs voice, Yishanâs heart stirred, and he replied in a deep voice, âI have something to do, Iâll eat later.â
Su Qingyue saw him finish drying the clothes and then leave with a crutch.
She didnât ask where he was going.
Xiao Yuchuan really wanted to feed Su Qingyue breakfast, but she gave him a glare that showed no appreciation.
After breakfast, Su Qingyue wanted to feed the horses, but Xiao Qinghe said, âSecond Brother has already fed them.â
She led the horses out and saw the Fourth Brother and Third Brother standing nearby, she asked, âDo you have anything you want to buy?â
Both of them shook their heads.
Su Qingyue then untied the rope that attached the horse to the flatbed cart, âI just need to buy some medicine and go to Lady Liâs place to pick up some clothes. I donât need a cart. I can ride the horse faster.â
After removing the flatbed cart, she skillfully put the horse saddle back on.
Xiao Yuchuan said, âWife, I also want to go with youâ¦â
âYouâre so weak, youâll just cause trouble for me, right?â She gave him another eye roll.
