Ailiu wanted to serve each of them a dish, but was pushed away by Xiao Yuchuan.
She pouted and said, âI will make you all forgive me. If you donât want me to eat breakfast, then Iâll just starve.â
Xiao Yishan said in a deep voice, âWeâre just eating a meal, stop yakking so much.â
She pulled a face and then smiled, âIf Second Brother doesnât like it, then I wonât say anything.â
It was between eight and nine in the morning, the sunlight wasnât too harsh. Su Qingyue moved a chair with a backrest into the yard to enjoy the warm sensation of the sunlight on her body.
Xiao Yishan was sharpening arrowheads on a grindstone near the courtyard fence. The arrowheads were to be fitted onto arrows for hunting.
Xiao Yuchuan walked up to where Su Qingyue was sitting and reached over from behind to massage her shoulders, âWife, let me give you a massage.â
âI told you to stop calling me âwifeâ!â She wrinkled her brows.
Xiao Yishan, who was sharpening the arrows, and Xiao Qinghe, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, both froze upon hearing that.
Yishan understood⦠his wife only wanted Fourth Brotherâ¦
Xiao Qinghe also realized that his wife couldnât accept three husbands, she only wanted him. He was overjoyed, but when he looked down at his disabled legs, the joy was smothered by a heavy sadnessâ¦
He⦠couldnât give her happiness.
Though Ailiu claimed she wouldnât eat breakfast and was starving, their breakfast was portioned out beforehand and finished. Left with no other choice, she scraped the pot bottom to eat. Holding a few large pieces of rice crust in her hand, she found it much tastier than brown rice as it was made from refined rice.
She had learned her lesson now and wouldnât say a word in front of the three brothers about Su Qingyue.
She thought sheâd let them eat and drink well for a few days, but once she had the money, theyâd all be left to face the music!
Hearing his wife say this, Xiao Yuchuan paused while massaging her shoulders, âYou are my wife, if I donât call you âwifeâ, who else am I supposed to call?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYour face is so handsome, there are plenty of girls in the village secretly in love with you, you can call any of them.â
After hearing this, he walked over to her, bent down to look at her and tapped her nose, âWife, are you jealous?â
âNo.â
âI swear on my parents in the grave, I really have nothing to do with them.â He said pitifully, âWife, look, your husband here is one of the most handsome men in the village, canât help it if others like me. As long as I donât like them, thatâs enough.â
ââ¦â She couldnât be bothered to respond. He was just a bit handsome, not heavenly handsome.
âLast time I wanted to tell you a secret, but you didnât want to hear.â He seemed helpless, âI have to tell you now.â
Upon hearing Chuanâs words, Ailiu immediately walked into the yard, pretended to pass by the side, and strained her ears to eavesdrop.
Yuchuan leaned closer to Su Qingyueâs ear and whispered, âWife, let me tell you, I am still a virgin.â
Su Qingyue dug at her ear, looking incredulously at him. Third Brother was still a virgin, that didnât seem right. His mouth could have deceived countless women already.
Seeing her disbelief, he looked hurt, âWife, what is that look in your eyes? Donât you believe me? I swear on my parents in the grave, I really amâ¦â and he whispered again, ââ¦a virgin.â
She rolled her eyes at him, âSo what if you are? Stop swearing on your parents in the grave, theyâre just a pile of bones nowâ¦â
âIâm just showing how serious I am because Iâm afraid you wonât believe me.â He clasped his hands together, looking up at the sky, âFather and Mother in heaven will understand their son, surely.â
