He had a fierce appearance, and Xiao Ailiu was actually a bit afraid of him. âSecond Brother⦠I, ermâ¦â She tried to come up with an excuse, âI saw Fourth Brother using some of the rice he caught for the chickens earlier. That was refined rice, and I couldnât bear to see it wasted⦠So, I⦠dug up some earthworms to feed the chickens⦠Yes, I was digging for earthwormsâ¦â
Xiao Yishan didnât believe her for a second. âBig Sister, if you tell this reason to others, theyâll laugh themselves to death. The ground in the yard has been trampled so hard, how could there be earthworms?â
Her body trembled a little.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yishanâs facial expression turned cold as he said, âItâs late today. You should leave first thing in the morning.â
âSecond Brotherâ¦â Xiao Ailiu was anxious; she hadnât gotten the money yet, so how could she willingly leave?
âYuchuan is out. If he finds out, heâll beat you to death.â He spoke coldly, âCover up the pile of dirt before Yuchuan comes back. Make it level and stable, so it wonât affect Fourth Brotherâs wheelchair.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAhâ¦â Xiao Ailiu was already injured and digging in the dirt had exhausted her, leaving her drenched in sweat. Hearing Second Brotherâs words, she knew it was for Fourth Brotherâs benefit so that his wheelchair could travel smoothly â all that digging was for nothing, and this made her more frustrated!
When Su Qingyue woke up from her nap, it was already past 2 p.m. Just as she walked out of her room, she saw Wang Cuihua enter the yard.
âQingyue, youâre home.â She greeted.
Su Qingyue also smiled, âI havenât seen you for days.â
Cuihua saw Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe coming out of the master bedroom and greeted them before pulling Su Qingyue aside, whispering, âQingyue, I have to tell you, the eldest sister of the Xiao family is not an easy person to deal with. She must have come back for the money since the Xiao family has more now. You must be careful of herâ¦â
Just as she was about to tell Su Qingyue that Xiao Ailiu had been badmouthing her, Xiao Ailiuâs voice came from behind, âOh, oh, oh! Sister Cuihua, youâre here!â
Saying that, she pulled Wang Cuihua over, âNow that youâre visiting our house, you should have a chat with me, your eldest sister.â
She was furious. After she had just flattened the dirt, she saw Wang Cuihua gossiping behind her back with this wicked woman.
Wang Cuihua forced a smile, âI didnât see you just now.â
âNow you see me.â Xiao Ailiu, afraid that she would badmouth her to Su Qingyue, grabbed Wang Cuihuaâs hand affectionately, âCuihua, you know, my third brother and your husband Fuquan have been friends since childhood. I have always regarded your husband as my younger brother. Since youâre Fuquanâs wife, you should call me âsisterâ from now on.â
Wang Cuihua didnât want to be close to this wicked woman and refused to call her âsisterâ as she heard the underlying meaning. âItâs better to call you Sister Xiao,â she said.
âCall me whatever you like.â Xiao Ailiu pretended to be enthusiastic, âHave you had lunch yet? If not, eat here at our house. Iâll cook a chicken for you.â Su Qingyue had two live chickens left from her purchase at the town. She didnât eat any for lunch, so if she slaughtered one now for Wang Cuihua, she could eat plenty herself too.
Wang Cuihua retracted her hand, âAre you really going to kill a chicken? Sister Xiao, youâre a married woman, and you really donât treat yourself like an outsider here.â
âEven if Iâm married, Iâm still the eldest sister of this family.â Ailiu immediately replied, âNot to mention killing a chicken⦠even ifâ¦â
She wanted to say more, but when she saw her second and fourth brotherâs angry faces, she shut her mouth and stayed silent.
At this time, Xiao Yuchuan carried a large bundle of bamboo back, and seeing Qingyue in the yard, he called from far away, âWife!â
