The atmosphere during dinner was extremely tense.
No one in the family spoke a word.
After the meal, Xiao Yishan rushed to prepare the bathwater for his wife.
Su Qingyue saw that it was the bathtub that Xiao Ailiu had used before and pointed to another large foot basin outside the kitchen by the wall, âSecond brother, I want to use that basin to bathe.â
Xiao Yishan paused, his wife had always used this bathtub before, but now she refused to. He didnât know the reason.
After thinking about it, he finally understood that she didnât want to use the one that his eldest sister had used before.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His wife was really not compatible with his eldest sister.
She didnât want to use the prepared bathwater, and he didnât get angry. He wanted to prepare another bath for her, but she had already taken the new bathtub into the kitchen and scooped hot water from the stove pot into the basin and mixed it with cold water.
She clearly didnât want to trouble him.
After preparing the bathwater, Su Qingyue glanced at him, âSecond brother, I want to take a bath. Can you go out first?â
He hesitated for a moment, and his tall body eventually left the kitchen.
When Su Qingyue finished her bath and just opened the door, Xiao Yishan, who had been waiting at the door, rushed in, holding her waist and pinning her between his arm and the wall.
She was unhappy, âSecond brother, what are you doing!â
He held back the urge to kiss her, âYueâer, I have something to tell you.â
âIf you want to say something, just say it, and stop touching me!â
He lowered his head, his eagle eyes fixed on her ordinary face, âYueâer, I want to call you my wife too!â
She looked indifferent, âSecond brother, to be honest, you and I are not a good match.â
His face tense, âBecause of my eldest sister?â Apology floated in his eyes, âYueâer, let me explain. Although my eldest sister is one year older than me, I have always treated her like a younger sister before she got married, even though she does nothing in this family. She is not very sensible, and as the only woman in the family, my third brother and I, even my fourth brother, have been giving in to her. As the pillar of the family, I have always been used to taking care of my younger brothers and her. I thought she would just stay in our house for one night and not make a big fuss. But she is completely incompatible with you.â
She listened with an indifferent expression.
He explained anxiously, âSeeing the eldest sister, who I have been taking care of for so many years, severely injured is still hard on me since she is my close sister. Iâve figured it out now that my third and fourth brothers were right. She is just a woman who has emptied the Xiao Familyâs wealth, and even if all the Xiao Familyâs men were dead, she wouldnât care. She only has money in her eyes. And she came back to the Xiao Family just for the money. I will send her away in a few days.â
She raised her eyebrows, âWhy wait a few days?â
âShe is too severely injured now, almost half-dead. If I send her back to the Chen Family in Qingmu Village now, they might cause trouble. I donât want people to say that you donât respect your elder sister. Itâs better to let her recover for a few days and then let her leaveâ¦â
âI am not afraid of the Chen Family causing trouble at all. I donât know if the second brother is too kind or too weak. I can just drive the Chen family away when they come. Facing such relatives, do you still choose to tolerate?â She sarcastically pushed him away.
He stood still with his massive body, his face so tense that it turned pale, âIs this how you think of your husband? Weak? Has a weak man been able to take up the heavy burden of the Xiao family for so many years?â Disappointment flickered in his deep eyes, âDo you know that today, my eldest sister kept shouting to go to court to sue you?â
âSo second brother compromised?â
âIf she really goes to court, Yueâer, you severely injured her, and youâll have to go to jailâ¦â
