She glanced at him lightly, âIâll give you acupuncture every day instead of taking medicine. After ten days and a half month, youâll be fine. However, this is really just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I donât know when youâll faint again. At that time, Iâll give you acupuncture again.â
âBefore, I wouldnât wake up if I didnât take medicine. Last nightâ¦â
âI gave you acupuncture last night.â
âItâs difficult for you.â Xiao Yuchuan looked at her eyebrows and eyelashes with a full face of pity, âIf it werenât for you when the Xiao Family reached this point, maybe my second brother and I would not be here.â
âDonât say that.â She gently replied, âActually, âIâ stole eight taels of silver and almost got beaten to death in the town. If it hadnât been for second brother, I wouldnât be alive.â
âWifeâ¦â Xiao Yuchuan stared at her dark and clear eyes, âI always feel that the silver was not stolen by youâ¦â
Indeed, it was not her. It was the original owner of the body who had stolen it. Since she occupied the body and the original owner had passed away, she did not have to shirk responsibility, âLetâs not talk about the past.â
âHmm.â
Su Qingyue sat at the edge of the bed, picked up a bowl of vegetables from the basket, and fed Xiao Yuchuan quickly with chopsticks, âHurry up and eat! I still have to prepare medicine for second brother later, sell toothpaste, and find some wild vegetables or things like that. We have a lot to do. Later, whatever I
ask you to eat, donât talk nonsense. If you really get sick from hunger, Iâll have to find a cure but I might not be able to find the right medicine. I canât afford
Xiao Yuchuan obediently ate a whole big bowl of wild vegetables. He swallowed heavily, feeling touched but also guilty for his wife. In the days to come, when the family was without a single copper coin and the food was scarce, the suffering would be unimaginable.
After he finished eating the bowl of wild vegetables, Su Qingyue peeled three baked sweet potatoes and fed them to him one bit at a time.
Xiao Yuchuan swallowed heavily, his eyes brimming with tears.
âEat the potatoes, and donât act like youâre going to cry and then not cry, who are you trying to impress with your emotions!â She scolded him. She didnât like the solemn atmosphere.
âWife, even at this time, you still have the energy to scold meâ¦â
âWhat time?â
âWhen your husband needs to be fed.â
âItâs not a big deal.â She didnât think there was anything wrong with it.
But his gaze grew deeper and more affectionate as he stared at her.
His gaze made her feel numb all over, âDonât look at me like that, itâs strangeâ¦â
âWife, when I get better, I will definitely treat you well. I have nothing else but my body to offer youâ¦â
Her face darkened, âIf you really want to repay me, then when you get better, weâll sleep in separate rooms.â
âWhat!â Xiao Yuchuan was so shocked that his tears of emotion were retracted,
âI disagree!â
âItâs not up to you.â âThen Iâll just keep being sickâ¦â
âWhatever.â
He pouted, âI suppose getting better sooner is better⦠otherwise, weâll starve to death. â
After feeding Xiao Yuchuan, she fed Xiao Yishan the same food. She originally thought that second brother would be angry and refuse to eat, but second brother just silently finished the food.
After eating, she picked up the basket and the bowl to leave. As she looked back at second brotherâs resolute and cold face, she couldnât help but explain, âSecond brother, actually, when I told you to sell yourself to raise money, I was joking. Our familyâs atmosphere is so heavy, and nobody has died yet. We still need some happiness, donât we? As a good person like you, second brother, how could I force you to jump into the fire pit? The six taels of debt to the Sun Family was because of me, so even if I had to sell myself, I would never sell second brother. Of course, with my looks, even if I wanted to sell myself, no one would want me..â
