She pursed her lips, âI donât need you to support me.â
âItâs only natural for a husband to support his wife.â A rare look of shame appeared in his eyes, âUnfortunately, Iâm afraid I might not be able to make much money in my lifetime.â
âPeople have different capabilities, third brother, donât think too much about it.â
Xiao Yuchuanâs eyes were filled with emotion, âWife, I must have accumulated a lot of virtue in my past life to have such a wonderful wife in this life.â
She lowered her eyelids, saying nothing.
He looked at her expression, âWife, do you have something on your mind?â
She shook her head slightly.
He said with certainty, âWife, you must be troubled. If thereâs anything you want to talk about, just tell me. Is it about big sisterâ¦â
âItâs not about her.â She just thought that some decisions, once made, were bound to hurt the other two.
Her calm gaze glanced at Xiao Qinghe in the courtyardâ¦
Qinghe was heading into the kitchen in his wheelchair.
When Su Qingyueâs clear gaze met hisâ¦
His eyes were clean and clear like a pool of pure water, a pure and innocent young man.
A brief moment of pity flashed in her eyes.
She couldnât hurt fourth brother.
Xiao Qinghe turned away, blushing as he met his wifeâs gaze, his heart racing.
Seeing fourth brotherâs shy look, the corner of Su Qingyueâs lips curved into a shallow smile, and she turned her head to look at the concerned third brotherâ¦
âOnce the medicine on the stove is ready, third brother, you can drink it yourself.â She said as she walked towards the kitchen door, âIâm going to the town.â
Xiao Yishan watched his wife lead the horse in the yard, his stern gaze followed her every move, feeling a bit worried, âYueâer, what are you going to do in town?â After last nightâs incident and the unpleasantness of the early morning, he suddenly feared she would want to leave the Xiao family.
âThe message Zhou Fuquan brought, second brother didnât hear because he was in the storage room, ask Chuan.â She led the horse out of the yard, âIâm going to the Tao Mansion.â
Xiao Yuchuan called out from the kitchen, âWife, eat breakfast before you goâ¦â
âItâs a short ride to the town, Iâll eat something there.â She said, and had already left the yard.
âAwoooâ¦â The little bastard caught up from behind, running while standing on its hind legs and grasping her leg.
âBe good, little bastard, wait at home.â She bent down to touch its little wolf head, âIâll be back in the afternoon.â
Seemingly understanding its ownerâs intentions, the little bastard wagged its tail and stayed put.
Xiao Yishan also hobbled to the door of the yard, taking out a silver note for one hundred taels, âYueâer, in case you want to buy something in town, itâs inconvenient without money. Carry some silver on you.â
Su Qingyue looked at the silver note in his hand, one hundred taelsâ¦
Her money in second brotherâs hands was only two hundred taels and a few copper coins in changes.
It seems that second brother only gave big sister the change to buy medicines, and the two one hundred taels silver notes were untouched.
He gave her one hundred taels at onceâ¦
She asked with a smile, âArenât you afraid Iâll take the money and run, second brother?â
He shook his head, âYou didnât leave when the Xiao family was in its most difficult times, let alone now. Besides, itâs the money you earned.â
âDidnât second brother say this is the Xiao familyâs money?â
He was taken aback, âWhen did I say thatâ¦â He thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, âYueâer, did you overhear what big sister said to me last night?â
She nodded.
His facial expression stiffened for a moment, then immediately said, âYueâer, donât misunderstand, you can use the money you earn however you want. I said it was the Xiao familyâs money only because⦠in my heart, youâre already my wife. Youâre part of the Xiao family, so naturally, the money is too. Second brother is bad with words, if I said something that made you misunderstand, donât take it to heart.â
