Hearing second brother say this, Xiao Yuchuan fell silent.
âPerhaps Liu Xianglian is a bit prettier than our wife, but she is the one who belongs to our family. Now that her body is not well, you must not anger her anymore.â Xiao Yishan patted his shoulder, âFor the sake of our familyâs peace, even if you want to be with another woman, you have to endure it until our wife gets better. If you really donât like her laterâ¦â
âWhat are you talking about, second brother!â Xiao Yuchuan got angry, âThereâs nothing between me and Liu Xianglian. Not to mention the money-grubbing and snobbish mother of the Liu Family, I donât even like Liu Xianglian.â
If the third brother said thereâs nothing, Xiao Yishan naturally believed him, âThen how do you explain the villagers saying you and Liu Xianglian are being unclear?â
âI often sell goods in the village, and Liu Xianglian occasionally buys some needle and thread, scraps of cloth from me. She always talks to me very enthusiastically. I need to sell goods, so I canât ignore the customers. Once, Liu Xianglianâs handkerchief fell to the ground, and I helped her pick it up and returned it to her. Just happened that Wang Qigu from the village saw it. You know how big of a mouth Wang Qigu has; she can spread rumors with noses and eyes, saying that Liu Xianglian handed me the handkerchief to wipe my sweat and dropped it because she was flustered when someone saw it. She doesnât think that I wouldnât dare to use a young girlâs handkerchief to wipe my sweat.â
âEven if itâs a misunderstanding, itâs your fault.â Xiao Yishan said with a cold face, âIn the future, if you see Liu Xianglian, stay away. Donât give others something to talk about.â
âI know.â Xiao Yuchuan replied. Even if his second brother didnât say it, fearing public opinion, he, as a big man, may not be afraid of slander and gossip, but his wife has a thin face, so he would definitely take her feelings into account.
âIâll get some clean clothes for my wife to change.â Xiao Yishan also knew that his wife had no other clothes in this house. Although they had bought a new set of clothes for her when she was just purchased, she took away the new clothes and the money she had stolen but didnât bring them back. Saying this, he walked to the cabinet, opened the wardrobe to find clothes, âLet her change into my clothes first, even if they are big, just bear with it for now.â
âSecond brother, you only have two sets of clothes in this hot weather. The one youâre wearing is wet, so you can change into the other one. Give my clothes to my wife. â
âAll right.â The clothes of both brothers were kept in the same cabinet, so Xiao Yishan took out Yuchuanâs clothes.
Su Qingyue felt a little better and sat up on the bed. Seeing that second brother was just handing her a set of clothes to change, she took it, âThank youâ¦â
Her voice was still hoarse and inaudible, Xiao Yishan saw her mouth shape and understood what she was saying. His resolute and handsome face blushed involuntarily, âYouâre welcome.â
Xiao Yuchuan was also sitting on the bed, with one hand on Su Qingyueâs shoulder. He didnât âseeâ his wifeâs words and asked puzzledly, âSecond brother, what do you mean âyouâre welcomeâ?â
âIf you dare to let your wife have suicidal thoughts again, even if youâre my third brother, Iâll beat you to death and bury you. I wonât be polite anymore!â He didnât explain that his wife thanked him.
âIt wasnât me⦠it was Liu Xianglian and the villagers talking nonsenseâ¦â
âStill arguing? Didnât it all start because of you?â Xiao Yishan looked at Yuchuan with heartache and then looked at Su Qingyue with pity, speaking heavily, âThird brother, you donât understand. When I was calling out to my wife from behind, asking her not to be impulsive, she still walked deeper into the water stubbornly, determined to die. When I saw the water about to engulf her, my heart was in great pain..â
