Chapter 588: 588 Big sister arrived 4

Tears welled up in her eyes. “Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, you don’t know. I wanted to come back many times, but my in-laws didn’t allow. They are cold-hearted, saying that a married woman like me shouldn’t always return to my maternal home…”

“You haven’t come back even once.” Yuchuan reminded her, “Of course, except for this time.”

Xiao Ailiu pretended to wipe nonexistent tears from the corner of her eyes, “Our family is too poor. You don’t know. My in-laws said that if I return to my maternal home, they wouldn’t want me as their wife anymore. I got married at 21, which was already old back then. It wasn’t easy to find a husband. If I disobeyed them and came back, wouldn’t that add a burden to you three? I really couldn’t bear it. So, although I wanted to come back and see you guys thousands of times, I swallowed my desire…”

Yuchuan nodded, “Oh, if you come back just once, the Chen family will divorce you? Then why did you come back now?”

Xiao Ailiu acted all sentimental, “You are my brothers. Even if I get divorced, I want to see you.”

“Really?” Yuchuan sarcastically said, “I thought you came back to get money from the Xiao family.”

“How could you think like that?” Xiao Ailiu tentatively asked, “Third brother, I heard that we earned three hundred taels of silver, right? And there were also fifty taels before.”

Yuchuan looked through her like a sharp gaze, “You revealed your thoughts so quickly? Be clear that it is the Xiao family, not ‘our family’.”

“How can you talk like that, third brother!” Xiao Ailiu scolded angrily, “Your eldest sister is just concerned about her family matters. You shouldn’t think like that!”

Su Qingyue handed the three new sets of clothes according to their sizes and styles to each of the brothers, and allocated two pairs of shoes for each.

Xiao Yishan, looking at the new clothes and shoes his wife had bought, was deeply moved on his cold face, “Yue’er, there’s no need to waste money. Just having old clothes for the second brother is enough…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yes.” Yuchuan put away his unkind attitude towards Ailiu, gratefully telling Qingyue, “Wife, just buy for yourself. There’s no need to buy for us.”

Qinghe also nodded slightly, agreeing with the third brother’s words.

Qingyue smiled, “Now that we have money, we need to buy some new clothes. I already knew that you guys wouldn’t bear to spend money, so I didn’t discuss with you and just bought them first.”

The three men were deeply touched. Only their wives treated them this well.

In contrast, their eldest sister, who only ever thought selfishly of herself, even took away better quality tile jars and basins when she got married.

There were so many things going on in the Xiao family. Although they had hoped that she, as an older sister, could help a bit, they had no complaints when she didn’t. They just wished that she would come back and see them. Over the years, they had heard that the Chen family, though not wealthy, was not poor either. They treated her well, and there was no such thing as not letting her come back.

She was afraid that the Xiao family would drag her down and ask for help, so she didn’t come back.

Now, as soon as the Xiao family had some money, she immediately returned.

They were not fools. They could see her intention.

Xiao Ailiu cast an angry glance at Su Qingyue and vented her anger, “Su Qingyue, what are you doing? Using the family’s money without discussing it with my younger brothers!” If it weren’t for this ugly girl’s rudeness and lack of respect, she would have given way and even flattered her. But from the moment this ugly girl stepped into the yard, she never took her seriously. How could she not be angry?
