Chapter 161 - 161: 161 harmed Fourth Brother



He came to his senses, seeing her stiff facial expression, and naturally realized she didn’t like being stared at like this, “I’ll wash the clothes.”

Her gaze fell on his hand, holding a big bowl with a piece of white Tofu in it, and his little finger hooked a bundle of green vegetables tied with grass.

She knew the Xiao Family had no fields, so obviously, the second brother went out to buy vegetables and Tofu just now.

With an embarrassed face, he explained, “Yue’er, today Second Brother didn’t catch any prey while hunting, and there’s no food at home, so I bought us some vegetables. I hope you don’t mind.”

She suddenly understood that Second Brother was embarrassed that he didn’t catch any prey, “Going hunting in the mountains, as long as you’re unlucky, it’s normal to return empty-handed. Second Brother doesn’t need to mind. Having Tofu and vegetables is good enough, next time… just buy some vegetables will be enough, adding an extra piece of Tofu is a waste of money.”

Although Second Brother had been successful in hunting the last two times, she was also aware that without any fields, during the good hunting times, they had to exchange prey for money and save it for buying food during the harsh cold winter when prey was scarce.

There probably wouldn’t be any spare money in this family at the end of the year; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so poor that they wouldn’t eat lunch.

For a family that doesn’t even eat lunch, buying vegetables and Tofu must be a kind of luxury.

For more than ten days, she was the only one eating lunch in the house; from now on, she would also stop having lunch.

Xiao Yishan saw her being so frugal and thinking so much for the family, and he felt both guilty and touched, “Yue’er, Second Brother will definitely try his best to make money from hunting and make our family live better.”

Yuchuan had not separated his household from his second and fourth brother, so Su Qingyue didn’t think too much about his words, “I will also do my best.” Once her ears were no longer deaf, she would also find a way to make money.

Xiao Yuchuan came out of the kitchen, hearing the conversation between Second Brother and his wife, a trace of melancholy flashed across his handsome face.

Actually, Second Brother was very capable. Although he couldn’t avoid returning empty-handed sometimes, the money earned from selling prey was more than enough for their daily expenses. Though his sales couldn’t make much money, at least there was still some income.

Unfortunately, for the past four years, due to his unpredictable fainting spells, each medical visit cost him a few taels; and Fourth Brother required three taels of silver each month for medicine money.

Fourth Brother’s condition was his fault. If it weren’t for him, Fourth Brother wouldn’t have become like this now.

Being poor, the family couldn’t afford illnesses; such huge expenses mean that even if he was capable, he still couldn’t save any silver.

Xiao Yuchuan took the bowl containing white Tofu and a handful of vegetables from Second Brother’s hand and walked back to the kitchen.

Xiao Yishan squatted across from Su Qingyue, picking up the unwashed clothes from the big bathtub, and began to wash them willingly.

Su Qingyue looked at Second Brother’s large frame, even when squatting, he was taller than her sitting down; his arms were thick and strong, his face resolute and rough, full of wildness, his tiger eyes deep and cold that even when sitting across from him, she felt an oppressive sense of power.

He deliberately left a beard on his face, and the scar on his left cheek was still faintly visible in the beard, unable to hide it. It made him look like a complete villain.

She knew Second Brother had a good heart. Her fondness for Second Brother was actually more than that of Xiao Yuchuan.

Pity, though, that Xiao Yuchuan was her husband.

Anyway, as of now, it didn’t matter to her whether or not love was involved.

So, she would respect Second Brother properly.

“Yue’er, please sit down and rest,” said Xiao Yishan with a caring expression, “You’ve just recovered from your serious injuries, and your right arm is still not healed; don’t strain or hurt yourself..”
