Xiao Yuchuan stared at her little face, âWife, your expression seems like you know where I went.â
âOf course, I know.â she said, âDidnât you go to send off Village Chief Liang?â
âYeah.â He looked at her, âYou knew that huh, I thought you knew something elseâ¦â
âWhat else?â
âNothing.â He thought it would be better not to pollute his wifeâs ears with the scandalous affair between Liu Yuhong and his stepson, âI figured I should come back early since the Liang Family has a young woman, and I didnât want you to misunderstand that I was involved with her.â
âOh.â She didnât mention that she actually felt something was off about that woman Liu Yuhong and went to the Liang Family to sneak a peek herself.
Seeing Liu Yuhong seducing her third brother, she wished he would succumb to the temptation, but he was so righteous that he remained untempted.
Xiao Yuchuan took off the clothes he was wearing and soaked them in a large foot basin. He then crushed soap pods and began to wash his clothes.
She stared at his clothes soaking in the basin and said, âDidnât you just wear these this afternoon? You have to wash them after one afternoon?â
âTheyâre dirty.â Xiao Yuchuan said, âI accidentally got splashed with mud on the way home, so Iâll just wash it.â Actually, it was because Liu Yuhong had rushed over and hugged him when he was off guard. He didnât like being touched by other women besides his wife, so he simply took off his clothes to wash them, putting in extra soap pods too.
Su Qingyue smiled and said, âIâve never seen you so clean before.â@@novelbin@@
He let out a chuckle, âActually, Iâve always been very clean, itâs just that you always misunderstand me.â
Qingyue looked at his handsome face and thought, her third brotherâs face was so good-looking, he really had a way with women.
There were quite a few women in the village who secretly loved him.
No one knew how many aunts secretly adored him as well.
The new house of the Xiao Family was mud ash-colored, and the surrounding walls were built higher than most of the other houses in the village. The walls were also mud ash-colored.
The yard was big and spacious.
After the Xiao Family washed the dishes and returned the borrowed tables and stools, it was already past ten oâclock at night.
The house had many rooms, twelve in total. Besides the four occupied rooms, eight rooms were left empty for storage.
Of course, the kitchen and the thatched house were separate, and there was also a low, special bathroom in the backyard.
With all the rooms, even the little bastard got a room of his own. The room was empty without furniture, and dry grass was piled in the corner, with an old cotton quilt laid on the grass as its nest.
At night, after finishing the housework, Su Qingyue saw Xiao Yishan sharpening hunting spear arrowheads by the courtyard wall. She walked up behind him and said, âSecond brotherâ¦â
Xiao Yishan turned to look at her, âWife?â
âWeâve bought land twice and now have a total of ninety-four acres of paddy fields and six acres of vegetable fields. Thatâs a lot of land.â She said, âFrom now on, second brother, donât go hunting in the mountains. Letâs just focus on farming our land. Whatever we can grow, weâll grow, and weâll rent out the excess.â
Xiao Yishan paused in sharpening the arrowhead, âButâ¦â
âHunting is too dangerous, and I donât want to see anything happen to the second brother again.â She said, âLast time when the second brother got bitten by a poisonous snake and fell down the mountain, I was really worried about you.â
He put down the arrowhead, stood up abruptly, and looked at her worried face, feeling touched deep down, âWifeâ¦â
âSecond brother still hasnât agreed yet.â She said.
âWhatever you say, Iâll listen.â He said as such.
