Chapter 608: 608 Disappointed in second brother 1
The sound of the wheelchair echoed as Xiao Qinghe wheeled himself into the room.
Second brother was somewhat considerate, having removed all the doorsteps in the house and filled in any uneven spots to make it easier for the wheelchair to move around.
Qinghe arrived at the edge of the bed, and Su Qingyue moved a bit to leave room for him.
He proactively stretched his arm to grab the padding on the bed and helped her lay out the quilt.
She climbed onto the bed and pulled the quilt to the other corner, while he arranged this side of the bed.
The two worked together, and the padding and bedsheet were laid out quickly.
Although it was a simple task, Xiao Qinghe felt a sense of satisfaction at being able to spread out a quilt with his wife.
Su Qingyue placed the folded quilt on the mattress and then noticed… there was no pillow.
Originally, the Xiao family didn’t have any pillows. The three men used to make do by using their clothes as pillows.
When she bought new bed sheets and quilt covers, Lady Li only gave her four pillowcases, so she bought four pillow cores.
The pillow cores were already inside the pillowcases, and she originally planned to give one to each of the three men in the master bedroom.
And one for herself in the secondary bedroom.
There wasn’t a trace of the pillow on her bed, so it must have been taken away by second brother.
Su Qingyue was annoyed.
Despite having only one pillow, second brother actually gave it to big sister!
This wasn’t just a matter of the pillow; it showed that, in second brother’s heart, big sister was more important than her.
Although she didn’t have any romantic feelings for second brother, this still hurt her. It would have been fine if big sister was a good person, but she was a heartless woman who had ruined the Xiao family. Truly despicable.
Moreover, she knew that Qinghe’s leg could have been healed if treated in time.
The leg injury, which wasn’t treated promptly due to finances, had passed the optimal treatment window, leaving no hope for recovery now.
She didn’t bring this up because since the timing had already passed and there was no cure now, mentioning it would only add to the sorrow.
If Xiao Ailiu had been willing to help back then, Qinghe might not have ended up disabled.
With this thought, Su Qingyue’s gaze at Xiao Qinghe couldn’t help but soften a bit.
She wasn’t a particularly sympathetic person, but she never treated anyone who genuinely cared for her unfairly. It was just that, in her past life, she had never met even one person who truly cared for her. In this life, she thought she had met three…
However, second brother had disappointed her more than once.
There was little space left in the secondary bedroom for the wheelchair to change direction, so Su Qingyue helped Xiao Qinghe turn the wheelchair and pushed him toward the master bedroom, saying, “Fourth brother, you should rest early too.”
After pushing the wheelchair into the master bedroom, she didn’t see Xiao Yishan inside. He had been helping big sister move the bedding to the storage room, but it shouldn’t have taken this long.
Could it be that second brother was also being considerate and helping big sister spread out the bedding and clear space in the storage room?
She glanced at third brother, who had already fallen asleep on the bed.
Due to the effects of the medicine, he was fast asleep.
Seeing that he hadn’t covered himself with the quilt, she reached out to help him.
As Xiao Qinghe watched his wife’s actions, a faint sadness and envy flickered in his clear eyes.
His wife… still cared a lot about third brother, didn’t she?
Su Qingyue turned her head and saw the slightly dejected look in his eyes. Smiling, she said, “If you fall asleep without covering yourself, I’d help you too.”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. “Really?”
“I may deceive others, but I won’t deceive you,” she said in a soft voice.
A wave of emotion welled up in his heart, and gratitude flickered across his elegant face. “Don’t mind second brother’s attitude. He’s just a bit careless.”
