She glanced at him lightly, “I’ll give you acupuncture every day instead of taking medicine. After ten days and a half month, you’ll be fine. However, this is really just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I don’t know when you’ll faint again. At that time, I’ll give you acupuncture again.”
“Before, I wouldn’t wake up if I didn’t take medicine. Last night…”
“I gave you acupuncture last night.”
“It’s difficult for you.” Xiao Yuchuan looked at her eyebrows and eyelashes with a full face of pity, “If it weren’t for you when the Xiao Family reached this point, maybe my second brother and I would not be here.”
“Don’t say that.” She gently replied, “Actually, ‘I’ stole eight taels of silver and almost got beaten to death in the town. If it hadn’t been for second brother, I wouldn’t be alive.”
“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan stared at her dark and clear eyes, “I always feel that the silver was not stolen by you…”
Indeed, it was not her. It was the original owner of the body who had stolen it. Since she occupied the body and the original owner had passed away, she did not have to shirk responsibility, “Let’s not talk about the past.”
Su Qingyue sat at the edge of the bed, picked up a bowl of vegetables from the basket, and fed Xiao Yuchuan quickly with chopsticks, “Hurry up and eat! I still have to prepare medicine for second brother later, sell toothpaste, and find some wild vegetables or things like that. We have a lot to do. Later, whatever I
ask you to eat, don’t talk nonsense. If you really get sick from hunger, I’ll have to find a cure but I might not be able to find the right medicine. I can’t afford
Xiao Yuchuan obediently ate a whole big bowl of wild vegetables. He swallowed heavily, feeling touched but also guilty for his wife. In the days to come, when the family was without a single copper coin and the food was scarce, the suffering would be unimaginable.
After he finished eating the bowl of wild vegetables, Su Qingyue peeled three baked sweet potatoes and fed them to him one bit at a time.
Xiao Yuchuan swallowed heavily, his eyes brimming with tears.
“Eat the potatoes, and don’t act like you’re going to cry and then not cry, who are you trying to impress with your emotions!” She scolded him. She didn’t like the solemn atmosphere.
“Wife, even at this time, you still have the energy to scold me…”
“When your husband needs to be fed.”
“It’s not a big deal.” She didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.
But his gaze grew deeper and more affectionate as he stared at her.
His gaze made her feel numb all over, “Don’t look at me like that, it’s strange…”
“Wife, when I get better, I will definitely treat you well. I have nothing else but my body to offer you…”
Her face darkened, “If you really want to repay me, then when you get better, we’ll sleep in separate rooms.”
“What!” Xiao Yuchuan was so shocked that his tears of emotion were retracted,
“It’s not up to you.” “Then I’ll just keep being sick…”
He pouted, “I suppose getting better sooner is better… otherwise, we’ll starve to death. ”
After feeding Xiao Yuchuan, she fed Xiao Yishan the same food. She originally thought that second brother would be angry and refuse to eat, but second brother just silently finished the food.
After eating, she picked up the basket and the bowl to leave. As she looked back at second brother’s resolute and cold face, she couldn’t help but explain, “Second brother, actually, when I told you to sell yourself to raise money, I was joking. Our family’s atmosphere is so heavy, and nobody has died yet. We still need some happiness, don’t we? As a good person like you, second brother, how could I force you to jump into the fire pit? The six taels of debt to the Sun Family was because of me, so even if I had to sell myself, I would never sell second brother. Of course, with my looks, even if I wanted to sell myself, no one would want me..”
