Just now, I wasnât really trying to take control of the money. In fact, the money in the family has always been managed by my second brother. He reached out to take it, just to tease her.
Seeing her indifferent expression, his heart, which loved her, was hurt. âWife, I didnât really want your moneyâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She stretched out her hand, her palm opened in front of him, âGive back the five cents you took last nightâ¦â
âI wonât return that money.â It was the first thing his wife ever gave him, even if it was money, he cherished it very much.
âYou greedy ghost!â she scolded in anger. âYou wonât let go of five cents, let alone fifty taels! Youâd sell me for that!â
âWifeâ¦â he said with a grievance, âI liked the money because it was yours.â Was it wrong to like the five cents she touched? âLi Gui offered one hundred taels to buy you, I didnât sell you. You say fifty taels is only half the price, how could I possibly sell you for that.â
âI forgot Li Gui had offered one hundred taels of silver before.â She nodded, âItâs a good thing I wasnât sold for one hundred taels back then, otherwise, I
would have lost these fifty taels I earned. Now if he still wants to buy me, it doesnât matter if you sell me.â
âYueâer!â Xiao Yishan couldnât listen to her anymore, âDonât talk nonsense.
Second brother said he wouldnât sell you even if he had to sell third brother.â
âSecond brotherâ¦â her face was full of emotion, âEvery time I hear you say this, my heart feels so elated!â
âHumph!â Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly.
âNo one in the family is more important than Qingyue,â said Xiao Qinghe, who usually didnât express his opinions. âWithout Qingyue, second brother and third brother might haveâ¦â
âYes,â Xiao Yishanâs bearded face was full of seriousness, âYueâer is the Xiao familyâs savior.â
âSecond brother, donât say that.â She didnât claim all the credit for herself, âIf it werenât for me owing six taels of silver, second brother wouldnât have to go hunting so desperately, and might not have been bitten by a poisonous snake, or broken his leg. If you hadnât owed the six taels for me, there would be money to treat third brother if he were to fall ill.â
âYueâer, the fact that you saved me and third brother cannot be denied,â Xiao Yishan said to her, with a touch of respect.
âMy wife is too modest,â Xiao Yuchuan stared at her with an ambiguous gaze, âYou saved your husband, and he swears to repay you with his life â¦â
âI donât want that.â She refused.
âI do! Iâve sworn in my heart, I want you, I want you for a lifetime!â he said with deep emotion.
Su Qingyue was speechless, âXiao Yuchuan, how can you say such cheesy words?â
âI said it with my mouth. How else would I say it, with my buttocks?â
Her face darkened, âStop mentioning buttocks, you vulgar fellow! â
âWife, youâre wronging me,â he pointed at his own buttocks, âLook, my buttocks are below my waist, not on my mouth.â Su Qingyue was speechless, âJust shut up.â
âOkay.â He was unusually obedient.
After Su Qingyue cleaned up the breakfast bowls and chopsticks on the table and put them in the vegetable basket, she said, âWe ran out of brown rice at home. The only thing left are the salty, sun-dried fish from a few days ago. If the rice I bought in town doesnât arrive by noon, I plan to go to Aunt Zhangâs house to buy a few kilograms of rice and some vegetables.â
âYou decide.â Xiao Yishan wanted to give her money.
âThe hundred cents I have are enough,â she said, âThereâs no need for extra.â âJust tell me whenever you need money,â Xiao Yishan reminded her.
âOkay,â she also gave instructions, âSecond brother, donât overthink things, and take good care of your leg injury. If you get up again in the next ten days, you will definitely become disabled. Even I wonât be able to help you. If you really go lameâ¦the consequencesâ¦.â
