He closed his eyes, reminded him emotionlessly of the fact, âSecond brother, your and third brotherâs lives were saved by your wife. If it werenât for her, you would have died from a snake bite long ago, and third brother would have died too.â
With that, he sneered, âAfter the wife asked Old Zhang to pass on a message to big sister about our familyâs situation, Iâve been waiting for big sister to come back and visit you and third brother. After all, before big sister got married, she had the best relationship with you, second brother. She didnât care about Chuan and me, but with such a big incident going on, she should come back at least once, right? Old Zhang said that big sister told the people of the Xiao Family never to bother her again. This woman who used to be a Xiao, if all the men of the Xiao Family were to die, she wouldnât even prepare a thin coffin for us. Itâs so cold-hearted! Itâs not that third brother and I are heartless, but sheâs the one who destroyed her conscience first. Now, with your wife earning some money for the Xiao Family, big sister came running for the money, and yet youâre being so polite to her.â
Regret flashed across Xiao Yishanâs face. He had initially been angry when he saw her mouth had been stepped on by Chuan, with the clear shoe print on her face. Only after hearing what his two younger brothers said, did he realizeâ¦
He looked back at Su Qingyue.
She had her face covered for some reason, but her gaze was light and leisurely like water.
Only then did he realize that big sisterâs arrival had caused such a scene, upsetting him and wronging his wife.
âYueâerâ¦â Xiao Yishan called out guiltily.
Su Qingyue showed no emotion.
After hearing Chuan and Qingheâs words, Zhou Fuquan also felt that Xiao Ailiu was utterly despicable. Which sister in any family would be so caring for her younger brothers and sisters, and who could be as bad as her?
Xiao Yishan pulled Xiao Ailiu up from the ground, âBig sister, you should leave.â
Xiao Ailiu came back with the intention to get 300 taels. She had given her word to the Chen Family that, even if she couldnât get 300 taels, she would casually take one or two hundred taels. Now, she didnât even get a single copper coin, almost lost her life, and who knows how much it would cost her to treat her injury. Naturally, she refused to leave, just sobbing in tears.
With a remorseful face, she said, âSecond brother, third brother, fourth brother⦠I was wrongâ¦â Her speech was stuttering due to the pain in her stepped-on mouth, and her tearful voice shaking with fear, âI really⦠was wrong⦠Please forgive me⦠Forgive meâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yuchuan ignored her pleas for mercy and dragged her out as she suddenly collapsed and passed out.
Zhou Fuquan was startled, âShe isnât really dead, is she?â
Xiao Yishanâs face was full of tension, he hurried to slap her face, âBig sister⦠Big sister!â
Xiao Qinghe looked indifferent, âIf she dies, just say I killed her. After allâ¦â A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips, âAfter all, Iâm a useless person, it doesnât matter if I take her life.â
âHow could that be?â Xiao Yuchuan scolded coldly, âI was the one who killed her; it has nothing to do with you all!â
He walked to Su Qingyue and his handsome face was filled with grief, âMy dear wife, Iâm not afraid of dying, Iâm just afraid of not seeing you after deathâ¦â
With that, he sadly dived into her arms, holding her tightly, âWife, when I enter prison, you must bring me food and accompany me until my execution. But at the moment when my head is cut off, donât watch. That knife is so sharp, it can cut the head off with one stroke; it will scare youâ¦â
âI know,â she nodded.
He sniffled and said pitifully, âWife, I have one more request before I dieâ¦â
