Xiao Yuchuan picked at the brown rice he had cooked earlier in his bowl, “Second brother, don’t you think it’s bitter? But I suppose, a meal cooked by the wife could turn bitter to sweet.”

Su Qingyue completely missed their conversation, even though she occasionally could understand by reading the movement of lips. Unfortunately, each time the two of them called her ‘wife’, it was either not in her presence, or she didn’t pay attention, or their words were all muddled together, making it hard for her to understand.

She still didn’t realise that she had been bought as a wife for this family.

The corner of her eyes caught the second brother eating the overcooked rice from the pot, and she couldn’t help but recall a moment from her modern life. There was a time when she slightly overcooked the rice, and her picky fiancé who never helped with any household chores, didn’t eat a single bite and complained about her inability to even cook rice well.

Actually, her cooking skills were quite good, and her fiancé often complimented the dishes she cooked, wishing he could eat them till his stomach was full. But she made one mistake, and he immediately showed his displeasure.

She knew he was angry… angry because after two years of dating, she still refused to sleep with him. She just wanted to save her first night for their wedding night.

As an assassin, to fulfill her tasks, sometimes she had to use her beauty as a weapon. The fact that she could maintain her purity was not an easy feat.

Her fiancé didn’t know her true identity, and often found fault with her… She knew that it wasn’t fair to him that she kept refusing to give herself to him physically.

Moreover, her fiancé was an ordinary man, while she lived on the edge of a blade, any man around her might face danger.

So, she felt guilty towards her fiancé and treated him doubly well, but all she got in return was his lack of appreciation.

With second brother acting like this, she genuinely felt uncomfortable.

“Eat more.” Xiao Yishan, sitting opposite to Qingyue, reminded her from time to time.

Annoyed, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. What was wrong with this man? She selfishly ate meat while letting him eat overcooked rice, and yet he was not angry, he even cared for her so much. She stood up and walked out.

Xiao Yishan, who had just finished his meal, followed her.

Originally, he was thinking of selling all the prey in the town. However, many villagers found out he had returned from hunting, and those who wanted to buy prey had gathered.

He weighed and sold the prey. Roughly one third of it was sold in this way. Wang Adou’s family in the village was preparing for a celebration and wanted to buy some prey for their guests, so they bought the remaining two-thirds of the prey, leaving only two wild pheasants.

Among the prey, there were two large roe deer; one weighed about fifty Jin. The weight of such large prey was usually measured after removing the head and intestines, otherwise, if they were sold whole the price would be much lower.

Su Qingyue watched the second brother from a desk in the yard. He swiftly skinned the roe deer with his knife. The skin was removed as a whole piece; his knife skills were indeed superb.

Weighing the meat, collecting the money, he did everything swiftly and efficiently.

Additionally, when the second brother was home, he seemed to be even more diligent than his third brother. Such a man was indeed suitable for family life.

Xiao Yuchuan wanted to help the second brother, but he wasn’t much help. The second brother could handle everything on his own.

Hence, Xiao Yuchuan also brought a chair and sat next to Qingyue, he looked at her and said, “Wife, don’t just watch the second brother, look at me too.”

She just kept her gaze directed straight ahead, not “seeing” what he had said.

“Humph,” Xiao Yuchuan snorted, “You only know how to ignore me. I know that the second brother has been working hard these days, but I was injured! Moreover, I have been practicing embroidery, and later, I can take the embroidered goods to the town to sell… it’s a pity they won’t fetch much money..”
