Chapter 631: 631 Second Brother’s Remorse 2
She pursed her lips, “I don’t need you to support me.”
“It’s only natural for a husband to support his wife.” A rare look of shame appeared in his eyes, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid I might not be able to make much money in my lifetime.”
“People have different capabilities, third brother, don’t think too much about it.”
Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were filled with emotion, “Wife, I must have accumulated a lot of virtue in my past life to have such a wonderful wife in this life.”
She lowered her eyelids, saying nothing.
He looked at her expression, “Wife, do you have something on your mind?”
She shook her head slightly.
He said with certainty, “Wife, you must be troubled. If there’s anything you want to talk about, just tell me. Is it about big sister…”
“It’s not about her.” She just thought that some decisions, once made, were bound to hurt the other two.
Her calm gaze glanced at Xiao Qinghe in the courtyard…
Qinghe was heading into the kitchen in his wheelchair.
When Su Qingyue’s clear gaze met his…
His eyes were clean and clear like a pool of pure water, a pure and innocent young man.
A brief moment of pity flashed in her eyes.
She couldn’t hurt fourth brother.
Xiao Qinghe turned away, blushing as he met his wife’s gaze, his heart racing.
Seeing fourth brother’s shy look, the corner of Su Qingyue’s lips curved into a shallow smile, and she turned her head to look at the concerned third brother…
“Once the medicine on the stove is ready, third brother, you can drink it yourself.” She said as she walked towards the kitchen door, “I’m going to the town.”
Xiao Yishan watched his wife lead the horse in the yard, his stern gaze followed her every move, feeling a bit worried, “Yue’er, what are you going to do in town?” After last night’s incident and the unpleasantness of the early morning, he suddenly feared she would want to leave the Xiao family.
“The message Zhou Fuquan brought, second brother didn’t hear because he was in the storage room, ask Chuan.” She led the horse out of the yard, “I’m going to the Tao Mansion.”
Xiao Yuchuan called out from the kitchen, “Wife, eat breakfast before you go…”
“It’s a short ride to the town, I’ll eat something there.” She said, and had already left the yard.
“Awooo…” The little bastard caught up from behind, running while standing on its hind legs and grasping her leg.
“Be good, little bastard, wait at home.” She bent down to touch its little wolf head, “I’ll be back in the afternoon.”
Seemingly understanding its owner’s intentions, the little bastard wagged its tail and stayed put.
Xiao Yishan also hobbled to the door of the yard, taking out a silver note for one hundred taels, “Yue’er, in case you want to buy something in town, it’s inconvenient without money. Carry some silver on you.”
Su Qingyue looked at the silver note in his hand, one hundred taels…
Her money in second brother’s hands was only two hundred taels and a few copper coins in changes.
It seems that second brother only gave big sister the change to buy medicines, and the two one hundred taels silver notes were untouched.
He gave her one hundred taels at once…
She asked with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the money and run, second brother?”
He shook his head, “You didn’t leave when the Xiao family was in its most difficult times, let alone now. Besides, it’s the money you earned.”
“Didn’t second brother say this is the Xiao family’s money?”
He was taken aback, “When did I say that…” He thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Yue’er, did you overhear what big sister said to me last night?”
His facial expression stiffened for a moment, then immediately said, “Yue’er, don’t misunderstand, you can use the money you earn however you want. I said it was the Xiao family’s money only because… in my heart, you’re already my wife. You’re part of the Xiao family, so naturally, the money is too. Second brother is bad with words, if I said something that made you misunderstand, don’t take it to heart.”
