Chapter 748: She let down 748.
“As the wife wishes,” Xiao Yishan gave his nod once again.
She turned to Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Qinghe, “Third brother and fourth brother, do you have any objections?”
Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with a pained heart, “Wife, you can do whatever you want. But all this money is what you earned, don’t you want to save some for yourself?”
Xiao Yishan also chimed in, “Wife, when we were buying fern and making wine from bayberries, third brother and I were lying on the bed, you earned all the money. Doing this…”
“Wife, we shouldn’t bother buying the fields and furniture,” Xiao Yuchuan truly felt sorry for her, “As long as we can get by at home.”
“Yes,” Xiao Yishan nodded as well, “I’ll make sure I earn more money for our house and buy more fields in the future, you don’t have to use your money, spend it however you want…”
“Second brother, third brother, didn’t you just say I could spend it however I want?” She smiled faintly, “I just want to make the Xiao Family’s life better. Let’s do as I say.”
In this life, Su Qingyue didn’t have any love left.
She knew exactly how second and third brother felt about her.
Yet, she couldn’t be with them, so all she could make up for it was with money.
She cast a glance at Xiao Qinghe, who was the man she chose. Second and third brother never once despised him since he became disabled. They took care of him thoughtfully throughout these four years, and as she planned to spend a lifetime with Qinghe, she should be the one to reciprocate their kindness towards him.
Moreover, in the end, it was she who let second and third brother down.
She turned around with a bowl and chopsticks and dropped them into the dish basin. Seeing that the three men remained silent, she took it as an agreement.
As Xiao Yuchuan watched her washing dishes, bitterness welled up within him.
The way she looked at fourth brother just now, it’s clear to him that not only did she choose fourth brother, but she also intended to repay the kindness for fourth brother.
Well, just let her arrange everything.
She would realize that all her arrangements aren’t what he, Xiao Yuchuan, wanted. Even if I die, I still want to be with her!
Xiao Yishan took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Su Qingyue let him.
Looking outside at the dilapidated courtyard wall and the large piece of thatch blown off the rooftop, Yuchuan said, “Wife, our current house is too shabby. Shall we buy the furniture earlier and move into the new house?” He wanted her to live a better life.
Even though, all of this was earned by her. In the future, he must work harder!
She said, “You and second brother deliver the goods for Drunken Immortal Pavilion first. Then when you have time, go to the market and buy any furniture you like at first sight. The task of inquiring about who’s selling the fields needs to be expedited.”
“Alright,” he nodded.
When Xiao Yishan finished washing the dishes, Su Qingyue gave him two silver notes.
Looking at the amount of one thousand taels on each note, Xiao Yishan, whose hands were still wet from washing the dishes, dared not to take them, “Wife, you should keep the money.”
“Second brother is the head of the house, so second brother should keep it,” she smiled, “It’s too hard to run a household, I’m too lazy to do it.”
“You’ve had it harder than me,” Xiao Yishan looked discontent, “You’re just a small woman. Since you came into the Xiao Family, I haven’t given you a good life, but have made you work this hard, and go through so much hardship…”
“It’s fine,” she said nonchalantly, “Isn’t our life good now?” She tried giving the silver notes to him again.
He hurriedly dried his hands with a rag and accepted.
Looking at the two colossal silver notes, each worth a thousand taels, he sighed. He could never earn this amount even if he spent a lifetime hunting.
He felt a surge of emotions inside. Having such an outstanding wife put him under such pressure that he felt inferior.
