Shujun’s eyes suddenly widened, "How could that be? It takes a hundred days to heal from bone and tendon injuries, my belly was torn open, my intestines spilling out from inside it, my injury was serious."
Yixuan laughed, "Not a proper shape at all."
He supported Third Brother’s arm, and as Third Brother looked up at the sky, seemingly reminded of something, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Xuanxuan?"
"...Third Brother, can you stop calling me that?"
With a mischievous twinkle, Shujun blinked, "But you are indeed Xiao Xuanxuan, could it be that your brother has recognized the wrong person?"
Yixuan: "..."He sighed softly, then asked, "What did you want to say when you called me just now, Third Brother?"
Shujun’s mood shifted from the previous playfulness, in this moment he seemed very mature and ... also quite melancholic.
"You know about Second Brother’s condition. Going forward we may be very busy, and you, please take on a bit more, help us brothers take care of him."
Yixuan fell silent for a moment, "I understand."
Shujun looked at him, silently letting out a sigh.
To cure Shu Yu, we needed a lot of money. Eldest brother and the Fourth Brother went out to earn money. And myself, now that my injury has healed, there’s no reason to continue lying around at home like an idle person. But Yixuan must feel quite unhappy inside, right?
After helping Third Brother to sit down, Yixuan arranged the bowls and chopsticks; he had little appetite.
Thinking about the Fourth Brother who hadn’t eaten, his mood became a bit oppressive.
"Third Brother, am I too useless?"
It’s always been since childhood, the brothers earning money to support the family, while I could only stay at home. Initially, I always did the household chores, but now, I seemed to be growing increasingly unnecessary.
The dishes I prepared ... compared to ... her, were far too inferior.
A fierce look flitted through Shujun’s eyes as he lifted Yixuan’s chin, forcing Yixuan to look at him.
"What nonsense are you thinking about?"
His expression was stern, "Never say that kind of thing again!"
Yixuan felt a little uncomfortable and tried to turn his head away, but Shujun wouldn’t allow it.
With a very serious expression, Shujun asserted, "Little Liu, listen to me, there are no useless people in this world!"
Yixuan helplessly replied, "I know, you’re overthinking it, Third Brother."
Shujun looked at him intently for a long while, then finally released his hand and silently ate his meal.
After lunch, Liang Shujun also returned to town.
Yixuan stayed at home looking after Second Brother Shu Yu. In the evening, hearing some noise outside, he went to have a look and saw Fifth Brother Yue Ning dragging a mountain pig that weighed over a hundred pounds, panting heavily.
Yue Ning said in haste, "Yixuan, I’ve got something else to deal with, I’m leaving first!"
After that, Yue Ning hurried out of the village again.
Without any explanation, without any explanation, couldn’t Fifth Brother say a few more words?
The question is, wasn’t Fifth Brother with ... her, up in the mountains? Why has he come back?
And he seemed so rushed.
It really didn’t make any sense.
Dong Huiying didn’t know that after Liang Yuening returned the mountain pig, he went back up the mountain immediately. He may have left Dong Huiying for a while, thinking to trust her once, but deep down, he probably still couldn’t put his mind at ease, could he?
As the sky grew dark, Dong Huiying gathered materials on the spot and lit a fire. She nestled under a tree to rest with her eyes closed, suddenly feeling a bit homesick for Liang Haoming.
She remembered when she and Liang Haoming first went up the mountain together, Haoming had caught a pheasant for her. After roasting it, even though he was hungry, he gave the pheasant to her to eat.
Oh, feeling a bit hungry now, but doesn’t really feel like moving. Perhaps because of climbing the mountain all day, she was too tired, so laziness kicked in?
"Huh?" A voice suddenly rang out.
