Chapter 864: 864 Regret letting the wife
Breakfast was a pot of porridge, along with a bowl of pickles and a bowl of fried pork.
In modern times, pork is a common dish for many ordinary families, as pigs are the easiest livestock to raise. But in ancient times, poor families might not taste pork more than a few times a year.
Now that the Xiao Family’s situation had improved, buying pork had become a regular occurrence.
“Where’s the second brother?” Xiao Yuchuan asked, “It seems he’s not in his room.”
“The second brother said he was going for a walk,” Xiao Qinghe had also just seen Li Rong’er coming out of the second brother’s room, and said indifferently, “Last night, the second brother was with Li Rong’er.”
He couldn’t sleep late at night, so he got up and went to the yard to calm himself for a while.
Saying he couldn’t sleep was actually an excuse; he knew that the third brother had slipped into Qingyue’s room at night, and he didn’t want the third brother and Qingyue to become husband and wife in truth.
His heart was in immense pain, torn between letting go and blessing Qingyue and the third brother’s relationship.
On the other hand, thinking of her truly being with the third brother…
His heart was unbearably pained.
After the third brother entered Qingyue’s room, there was no sound at all.
It was obvious that the two of them were asleep.
However, the noises coming from the second brother’s room were enough to make one’s face flush and heart race.
Li Rong’er was lucky; when Xiao Qinghe came out into the yard, she had already entered Xiao Yishan’s room, and Qinghe didn’t see her inhaling Bewitched Smoke.
Xiao Yuchuan said, “Just now, Li Rong’er deliberately came out of the second brother’s room when my wife and I were passing by the door, as if she was afraid that the Xiao Family wouldn’t know she’s already with the second brother.”
Su Qingyue looked at him in surprise, “Third brother, did you notice that she was waiting inside the door beforehand?”
“To say it was for the Xiao Family is one thing, but it’s more like it was for you to see,” he said. “When I came over to prepare breakfast earlier, I saw her slightly opening the door. When she saw that there was no one in the yard, she turned back.”
“She probably fears I have something for the second brother,” she said with a smile, “Her being with the second brother, I’m optimistic about it. Even if Li Rong’er is a bit scheming, she’s the one the second brother chose. He picked her, so naturally, he should bear the consequences.”
Originally, she should have warned the second brother that Li Rong’er was too calculating.
But given that the second brother was so fickle, and since he had claimed he was resolute in having her, Su Qingyue, as his wife—although she really didn’t care—that a man of such weak resolve might marry several more times later on seemed quite normal.
So she refrained from giving the reminder.
After all, she, Su Qingyue, was not exactly a good person either.
A look of guilt flickered in Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes, “Wife, actually, last night I warned the second brother that Li Rong’er is a schemer. I didn’t expect he would still be with her.”
“As a younger brother, it was right for you to tell the second brother,” Su Qingyue scooped a bowl of porridge and began to taste it with a spoon, “If the second brother doesn’t listen to you, it shows that Li Rong’er’s tactics are more extreme than you imagined. Or perhaps, the second brother doesn’t mind and still likes her. In that case, let it be. Their affair is of no interest to others to meddle in.”
“I’ll listen to my wife,” he said, adding a chopstickful of pork into her bowl of porridge.
Xiao Qinghe, seeing how well the third brother and Qingyue got along, couldn’t help but feel envious.
He regretted giving his wife away a bit…
Bowing his head, he ate his breakfast somberly, concentrating only on the porridge in his bowl.
Xiao Yishan hadn’t come back for breakfast, and Li Rong’er also hid in her room and didn’t come out.
After breakfast, Su Qingyue took a cloth towel and entered her own pharmacy.
Xiao Yuchuan peeked from outside the door, “Wife, may I come in?”
“Come in,” she said. “In the future, third brother, if you want to come into my pharmacy, you can do so whenever you like; just don’t mess with anything inside. Here’s a key for you.”
