Chapter 587: 587 Big sister came back 3
Xiao Ailiu jumped in surprise and screamed in a high-pitched voice, “Oh my! You beast!”
“Big sister, what are you randomly touching!” Xiao Yuchuan frowned in annoyance.
“Isn’t it just a horse? Can’t I touch it?” Xiao Ailiu noticed a large cloth bag tied on the horse’s back and three live chickens tied up by their legs. She smacked her lips, as she hadn’t had chicken in a long time. Reaching out to untie the cloth bag, she asked, “What’s inside this…”
Xiao Yuchuan stepped forward. “Don’t touch it…”
“I just want to have a look…” Xiao Ailiu opened the cloth bag anyway and saw another coarse cloth bag inside. Upon opening it, she discovered several sets of men’s clothes and a pair of new men’s shoes. “So many clothes and shoes… whose are these…” She took them out one by one to examine them. “Wow… they’re all new… quite a few of them, too. They look like they would fit my husband.”
She didn’t like Chuan’s attitude and called out to Xiao Yishan, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen. “Second brother, there are so many clothes here. I’ll take a couple of sets back when I leave…”
Before Xiao Yishan could respond, Xiao Yuchuan snatched the clothes away. “In your dreams!”
Yuchuan looked at Su Qingyue with confusion. “Wife, why did you buy so many clothes?”
“It’s just three sets of clothes.” She said indifferently. “One set each for you, second brother, and fourth brother. And new shoes, two pairs for each of you.”
Xiao Yuchuan was instantly touched. “Wife, you’re so kind!”
Hearing this, Xiao Qinghe was also moved. “Qingyue…”
“I noticed that your clothes were old and your shoes were worn out.” She said with a smile. “I don’t know how to do needlework…” Remembering that the original body owner could, she corrected herself, “I mean, I know how, but I’m too lazy to do it. So I just bought the finished products.”
Xiao Ailiu’s face darkened upon hearing this. “Su Qingyue, you’re a bought woman, and you’re too lazy to do needlework? You’re not proper at all! Really…” She tried to touch the new clothes again, but Chuan moved them away. She continued with a black face, “The fabric looks expensive. Buying the finished products must have wasted so much money. Couldn’t you just buy the cloth and make it yourself? You’re really not suitable for daily life!”
Su Qingyue scoffed. “Yes, you’re good at living.”
“Big sister, what are you blabbering about!” Xiao Yuchuan scolded. “My wife buys things within our means, what’s wrong with her buying clothes for us? Have you ever bought clothes for us since we were little? Fine, you said to buy cloth and make it ourselves, have you ever bought cloth for us and made clothes?”
Xiao Ailiu’s face turned cold. “That’s because our family is poor, we can’t afford it.”
Xiao Yuchuan sneered. “Then what about the three acres of prime paddy fields you sold? You took all forty-five taels.”
“It was agreed that the three acres of paddy fields were my dowry.” Xiao Ailiu argued. “I need something to take with me when I get married, so of course I took the dowry.”
“You’re right about this matter.” Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were icy cold. “But why didn’t you come back to see us when I kept fainting and fourth brother’s leg was ruined?”
“I’m back now, aren’t I?” Her loud voice grew smaller.
“Yes.” It was Xiao Qinghe who spoke. “Third brother and I have been in trouble for over four years, and you’ve been married in Qingmu Village for just as long. It’s been over four years since you last came back.”
As he washed the vegetables, Xiao Yishan kept an eye on the situation outside the kitchen. After finishing washing the vegetables, he interjected with an icy voice, “Big sister, you shouldn’t have come back at all.”
“This is my home. If I don’t come back here, where can I go?” Xiao Ailiu knew her three younger brothers were angry.
