âXiao Ailiu, you damn bitch, youâre asking for death!â When Xiao Yuchuan heard her bad-mouthing his wife, he got angry, stood up from his chair, and threw the stool from under his butt at her.
Xiao Ailiu screamed in fright and quickly ran outside the yard.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yuchuan chased halfway but didnât see her, angrily turned back, âGoddamn it, sheâs now eating and living off of my wife, and still doesnât know how to be grateful. Even if the house belongs to our family, without my wife, this house would have long been taken away by Granny Sun to pay off debts.â
âThereâs no need to get mad at someone like the eldest sister,â Qinghe said, âItâs not worth it.â
Yuchuan sat back down at the table and kept giving Su Qingyue chicken meat. She shook her head, âThatâs too much, you should eat more too.â
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Xiao Qingheâs bowl.
âI want some tooâ¦â Yuchuan pushed his bowl in front of her.
She frowned and said coldly, âCanât you pick it up yourself?â
âThe chicken your wife picks is tastier.â
She rolled her eyes at him, âDo not speak while eating or sleeping.â
âWhat?â
âDonât talk during meals and when going to bed.â
âYou could have just said it plainly.â He grinned, âYou know that your husband hasnât read any books. Youâre talking too profound if an uneducated person like me canât understand.â
âAlright.â Yishan intervened, âEveryone, just eat quietly.â
Xiao Qinghe chewed on the chicken his wife gave him, as the delicious taste filled him with a sense of gratitude. His gaze fell on the faces of his second and third brothers, and he became worried again. He knew what his wife meantâshe chose him, not his second and third brothersâ¦
Although he was extremely overjoyed, the heaviness in his heart made it difficult to breathe.
The little bastard also got a few pieces of chicken, and a big bowl of soup and rice, eating contentedly in the corner.
After a while, Xiao Ailiu sneaked back into the kitchen, but all the chicken was gone, not even any soup left. Her face turned green with anger, then white, and she cursed in her breath. The only thing left in the pot was the pot bottom. She had no choice but to scoop it off and eat it for lunch.
Su Qingyue was taking a nap in the secondary bedroom, while the little bastard, in its nest at the edge of the bed, let out a satisfied burp.
Xiao Ailiu guessed that everyone in the house was taking a nap, so she thought about where the money might be⦠After searching through all the rooms without finding anything, she began to look for new soil in the front and back yards, thinking there was a chance the money might be buried.
Conveniently, she noticed many areas in the front and backyards that looked like they had been dug up. Since their family didnât have any fields, they didnât have a hoe. Back when she got married, they did have a hoe, but because it was relatively new when the Xiao Family bought it, she had brought it to her husbandâs family when she got married.
With no other choice, she used her hands to dig the soil.
Expecting to find a money pot, she dug through several old dig sites but found nothing. She was so pissed! What she didnât know was that because the ground was uneven, Yishan had filled in the soil and stones to make it easier for Xiao Qingheâs wheelchair to move more smoothly. The money was not buried in the ground as Ailiu figured.
Yishan came out of the master bedroom and saw several dug-up pits in the front yard. He went into the backyard and found the eldest sister using a stick to dig and pry at the soil, âBig sister, what are you doing?â
Ailiu turned her head when he approached, her frightened voice cracked, âSecond brother, Iâ¦â
âThereâs no money hidden in the ground.â His face turned frosty and cold.
