Ailiu wanted to serve each of them a dish, but was pushed away by Xiao Yuchuan.
She pouted and said, “I will make you all forgive me. If you don’t want me to eat breakfast, then I’ll just starve.”
Xiao Yishan said in a deep voice, “We’re just eating a meal, stop yakking so much.”
She pulled a face and then smiled, “If Second Brother doesn’t like it, then I won’t say anything.”
It was between eight and nine in the morning, the sunlight wasn’t too harsh. Su Qingyue moved a chair with a backrest into the yard to enjoy the warm sensation of the sunlight on her body.
Xiao Yishan was sharpening arrowheads on a grindstone near the courtyard fence. The arrowheads were to be fitted onto arrows for hunting.
Xiao Yuchuan walked up to where Su Qingyue was sitting and reached over from behind to massage her shoulders, “Wife, let me give you a massage.”
“I told you to stop calling me ‘wife’!” She wrinkled her brows.
Xiao Yishan, who was sharpening the arrows, and Xiao Qinghe, who was washing the dishes in the kitchen, both froze upon hearing that.
Yishan understood… his wife only wanted Fourth Brother…
Xiao Qinghe also realized that his wife couldn’t accept three husbands, she only wanted him. He was overjoyed, but when he looked down at his disabled legs, the joy was smothered by a heavy sadness…
He… couldn’t give her happiness.
Though Ailiu claimed she wouldn’t eat breakfast and was starving, their breakfast was portioned out beforehand and finished. Left with no other choice, she scraped the pot bottom to eat. Holding a few large pieces of rice crust in her hand, she found it much tastier than brown rice as it was made from refined rice.
She had learned her lesson now and wouldn’t say a word in front of the three brothers about Su Qingyue.
She thought she’d let them eat and drink well for a few days, but once she had the money, they’d all be left to face the music!
Hearing his wife say this, Xiao Yuchuan paused while massaging her shoulders, “You are my wife, if I don’t call you ‘wife’, who else am I supposed to call?”
“Your face is so handsome, there are plenty of girls in the village secretly in love with you, you can call any of them.”
After hearing this, he walked over to her, bent down to look at her and tapped her nose, “Wife, are you jealous?”
“I swear on my parents in the grave, I really have nothing to do with them.” He said pitifully, “Wife, look, your husband here is one of the most handsome men in the village, can’t help it if others like me. As long as I don’t like them, that’s enough.”
“…” She couldn’t be bothered to respond. He was just a bit handsome, not heavenly handsome.
“Last time I wanted to tell you a secret, but you didn’t want to hear.” He seemed helpless, “I have to tell you now.”
Upon hearing Chuan’s words, Ailiu immediately walked into the yard, pretended to pass by the side, and strained her ears to eavesdrop.
Yuchuan leaned closer to Su Qingyue’s ear and whispered, “Wife, let me tell you, I am still a virgin.”
Su Qingyue dug at her ear, looking incredulously at him. Third Brother was still a virgin, that didn’t seem right. His mouth could have deceived countless women already.
Seeing her disbelief, he looked hurt, “Wife, what is that look in your eyes? Don’t you believe me? I swear on my parents in the grave, I really am…” and he whispered again, “…a virgin.”
She rolled her eyes at him, “So what if you are? Stop swearing on your parents in the grave, they’re just a pile of bones now…”
“I’m just showing how serious I am because I’m afraid you won’t believe me.” He clasped his hands together, looking up at the sky, “Father and Mother in heaven will understand their son, surely.”
