Xiao Yishan didnât notice his wife was upset and volunteered, âThird brother, let me help youâ¦â
Just about to get off the bed, Su Qingyue shouted at him, âDidnât you hear me telling you not to get off the bed for ten days!â
Ice formed on Xiao Yishanâs resolute and rough face.
The room suddenly became very quiet.
The atmosphere was tense, and no one said a word.
Su Qingyue casually scraped off the rice in the bowl, didnât eat any more vegetables, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and went out to the yard.
She squatted down, held Xiao Yuchuan up, lifted his two arms on her shoulders, and carried him on the bed in the room. She said coldly, âIâm done eating. You guys take your time.â
With that, she left the room.
The three men in the room were silent.
After a while, Xiao Yishan spoke coldly, âThird brother, you canât move, let me feed you.â
âForget it, second brother. I donât feel like eating now.â Xiao Yuchuan raised his head to look out of the door and saw his wife entering the kitchen. He thought he couldnât move his entire body, but his strength gradually returned, âHuh⦠I seem to be able to moveâ¦â
âIt seems Iâm back to normal, just like before seeing my wifeâ¦â He sat up, leaning on the edge of the bed.
âWell, thatâs good.â Xiao Yishan nodded slightly.
Xiao Yuchuan looked puzzled, âI donât think I was poisoned. My wife was just bluffing me. I did kiss her face, but I spat the medicine on my lips and wiped it off immediately, without swallowing it.â
Xiao Qingheâs clear eyes showed confusion, âSo third brother, you were faking the numbness all over your body earlier?â
âNo, I really felt numb all over.â He seemed thoughtful, âI think my wife is up to something.â
âSheâs probably just teasing you.â Xiao Qinghe looked at his third brother and couldnât help but sigh, âThird brother, sometimes you are just like my wife said, you deserve a beating.â
Xiao Yishan didnât know why his wife was angry and yelled at him, making a face. Could it be⦠she was intentionally distancing herself from him?
His deep eyes were cold, and his heart couldnât help sinking.
There were still half a bowl of rice left in Xiao Yishanâs bowl. Their family had always been struggling, so he wasnât one to waste. After finishing the half bowl, he didnât add more rice.
There was a large bowl on the table, half a bowl of rice left, equivalent to several bowlsâ worth.
In the past few days, they would not only finish the contents in the bowl but also add another large bowl after.
Today, no one touched it.
âSecond brother, arenât you eating?â Xiao Qinghe asked with concern. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He shook his head.
âThird brother, how about you?â
Xiao Yuchuan also shook his head, âI donât feel like eating either.â
Xiao Yishan gave him a suspicious side-eye, âWerenât you complaining about being hungry just now?â
âI just wanted to trick my wife into helping me.â Yuchuan looked apologetic, âSecond brother, itâs my fault. I didnât know I had done something to upset my wife.â
âIt might not be your fault.â His huge fists clenched imperceptibly. He thought of grabbing his wife and spanking her butt, and peeling her heart out to see if there was a shadow of his, Xiao Yishan!
Xiao Qinghe actually admired his sister-in-law quite a bit. He was eight years younger than his second brother, and their parents died early on, so he had always looked up to his second brother in a special way. He would never dare to yell at his second brother, but his wife dared to slap him in the face.
Xiao Yishanâs face was cold and stern, not saying a word, just staring coldly at the kitchen.
The other two were also quiet and didnât speak any more.
Su Qingyue prepared a bowl of rice porridge in the kitchen..
