Chapter 609: Disappointed in Second Brother 2
Just as she was about to leave, he took the pillow he was using from the bed and handed it to her.
Her heart was filled with warmth, realizing that fourth brother had noticed she didn’t have a pillow.
She didn’t take it, “This is your pillow. I’ll go to the storage room and get mine back.”
With that, she left the master bedroom and headed for the storage room.
The door to the storage room was open, and she heard voices coming from inside before she arrived.
“Second brother, do you really like Su Qingyue even though she’s so ugly?” It was Xiao Ailiu’s voice.
“Of course I do.” Xiao Yishan’s voice was cold and deep.
“Second brother, what if we sell Su Qingyue…” Xiao Ailiu suggested, “Big sister can introduce you to a better wife, younger and prettier, with a more beautiful appearance…”
“Big sister, I won’t sell Yue’er. If you talk nonsense again, I’ll drive you out!”
“Fine, I won’t say it.” Xiao Ailiu changed the subject, “Su Qingyue is ugly, but she can make money. It’d be a pity to sell her.”
“You’re still talking!”
“Are you really going to help her? Didn’t you see what she did to your sister tonight? Second brother, I’m your real sister, that woman is just an outsider…”
“Wives can be replaced, but I’ll always be your sister! Now that you have money, it won’t be a problem even if you marry another one.” Her voice had a hint of temptation, “Second brother, you’ve always been in charge of this family. It’s true that 300 taels of silver were spent, but the rest should still be in your hands, right?”
“This is the Xiao family’s money, and it has nothing to do with you.”
“I’m just asking.” She groaned in pain, “Second brother, look at my injuries! I’m in so much pain! Can you give me some money for medicine?”
“No money.” He said firmly.
Xiao Ailiu knew that her second brother had a cold face and a hard heart, but he’d soften after some coaxing. She started to cry, “Second brother, my life is hanging by a thread, and my husband’s family treats me badly too. I don’t even have a cent on me. I need to buy some medicine for my injuries. Please give me some money…”
“Who told you to go out without money? It’s all your own fault.”
“It’s all because of Su Qingyue… Chuan is crazy too, beating me up for such a woman…” Xiao Ailiu really wanted to slap Su Qingyue a few times for bewitching her younger brother, “Look… Look at my injuries… And that mixed-haired dog too, it bit me like it’s mad. We should skin it and stew it tomorrow!”
“Don’t you dare touch Yue’er’s ‘dog,’ she’ll turn against you.”
“What does it matter if she does? As long as you agree, you’re the one in charge.”
“Yue’er likes that little bastard, I won’t let you kill it.”
“Fine, I won’t kill it…” She conceded, “Second brother, just help me buy some medicine for my injuries then. If I die, Su Qingyue’s guilt will only be greater! Please, help me buy some medicine…”
“Even cheap medicine worth a few copper coins will do…” Xiao Ailiu cried, “Does your sister’s life really mean nothing to you, worth only a few copper coins? Are you just going to watch me die? Even if it’s a stranger, giving them a few copper coins should be the right thing to do. Second brother… Please buy me some medicine!”
Xiao Yishan looked at his eldest sister’s exposed skin and saw that she was indeed covered in injuries.
