The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 365: 365 Loving my wife 3

But Xiao Qinghe’s gaze was noticeably dimmer.

Su Qingyue didn’t mean it, but fourth brother couldn’t really run, “Fourth brother…”

“It’s fine.” The dimness in Xiao Qinghe’s eyes passed quickly, and he displayed a faint smile, “I’m fine, and I won’t think too much.”

Qingyue knew that fourth brother only meant to comfort her. If she herself became disabled for life, she’d rather be dead. She angrily glared at Xiao Yuchuan, “You shouldn’t have said it!”

“Wife, you asked me to say it, whether I said it or not…”

“Hmph.” She brought up the ‘unable to run’ part, so she shouldn’t blame third brother, “You make a good point. Third brother knows how to live, buying rice should be our main concern.”

She had been too busy these past few days and hadn’t discussed with her three men what she made. They hadn’t asked, either.

Men in ancient times were feudal, and those with integrity didn’t want to rely on a woman to support the family.

The same was true for those three. But since they were all hurt, they were helpless.

If they refused the things she bought with the money she earned, they could only starve.

“If we bought rice with this much money, we could get eight months’ worth of brown rice.” Xiao Yuchuan counted, “Wife, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but you should have bought less cotton wadding, saving money to buy rice. When second brother and I recover, we’ll make money to buy as many cotton quilts as you want. So, living life, I, your husband, am better at it. The money is yours, so I have no say in how you spend it. Just blame your husband’s useless body. If not, I’d want to make money desperately for you to spend. So even if I died from hunger, there wouldn’t be anything wrong.”

She nodded, “Surprisingly, third brother is quite manly.” Judging by the expressions of second brother and fourth brother, it seemed that they all thought she had spent all the money she made from selling the recipe on cotton quilts. Did she really earn so little?

Hearing this, Yuchuan became annoyed, “What do you mean by quite manly? I am a man!”

“Really?”

“Once I recover, you can ‘test’ and see.” His gaze focused on her, his eyes slightly burning, “No, even now…” His Dingding could get up, it was just that he didn’t have any strength in his body and it was inconvenient…

As he was feeling troubled, Xiao Yishan scowled, his cold voice reprimanding, “Third brother, you’re already half-dead and still thinking about nonsense!”

Yuchuan was scolded by second brother again and looked unhappy, “You keep scolding me for my wife.”

Yue’er is young…”

Yuchuan retorted, “She’s not young anymore! She’s already a wife and could even have a baby…”

Su Qingyue was speechless and didn’t want the brothers to argue because of her, “Forget about that, let’s talk about how I’ve been selling stir-fried tasty fern. Four cents per jin, besides the first day when I sold a whole basket, I sell a load every day. A load earns over 500 cents.”

She had thought the three men would be happy knowing she could make so much money in a day. But they just stayed silent.

Su Qingyue’s calm eyes swept over the three serious faces, “Not happy? You think I earned too little? The whole village has been envious of me these past few days for earning so much. They say many families can’t save up a tael of silver in a whole year.”

Xiao Yishan’s cold face was filled with a tender look, “Yue’er, more than 500 cents, and a load weighs over 100 jin, your body is so thin and frail…”

“Indeed.” Xiao Yuchuan’s face also showed guilt, “Wife, I’m really afraid your waist will be bent from the weight. I believe now that selling the recipe was the right thing to do. You shouldn’t sell stir-fried fern anymore…”
