Chapter 381: 381 was poisoned by his wife.
“If I had known, I would’ve never kissed her, so venomous…” Xiao Yuchuan looked bitterly toward the kitchen, hoping his wife would come to rescue him. But she didn’t even make a single appearance.
Xiao Qinghe felt sympathy for his elder brother, he leaned forward, stretching his hand out, “Third brother, let me pull you up.”
Xiao Yuchuan raised his hand towards him, just out of reach.
“Third brother, move over a bit. If I lean any further, I’ll fall too…” Qinghe was helpless.
He dropped his hand dejectedly, “Forget about it, I’m not getting up. My whole body is numb, I have no strength.”
“Second brother…” Qinghe turned to the second brother beside him for help.
Xiao Yishan could move, but his leg injury was severe, ‘Yue’er won’t let me get out of bed.”
“It’s best to listen to her.” A flicker of apology rose in Qinghe’s clear eyes. He turned to his third brother lying outside the window, “Just sleep in the yard. The weather is so hot, it won’t be cold at night. If it gets cold, I will throw you some bedding.”
Xiao Yuchuan made light of his sufferings, looking up at the night sky full of countless stars, “Basking in the moonlight is also quite good…l just don’t know if my wife will still want me now that I’m paralyzed…”
Su Qingyue came out into the courtyard carrying a pile of firewood, hearing him, she said, “I don’t want you even when you are not paralyzed, let alone now.”
After finishing her sentence, she went back into the kitchen to work.
The courtyard fell silent with Xiao Yuchuan and the two men in the room.
Xiao Yuchuan knew he was definitely fine , his wife wasn’t so heartless. But it was fourth brother’s leg that was a real problem. Would she disdain the fourth brother…
Yishan had the same thoughts.
Both of them wanted their wife to belong to them only, but they didn’t want her to disdain the fourth brother.
The elegant face of Xiao Qinghe didn’t show much expression, but there was a shade of melancholy in his eyes.
After Su Qingyue cooked rice in a pot on one side of the stove, she stir-fried the vegetables in another pot. The fresh mushrooms they had left, only about ten jin, were already eaten. These following days, the meals basically included dried fish and wild vegetables she picked while foraging for ferns.
After the stir-fried fern was sold out and they ate it for several meals, they were actually tired of it.
There were still some wild vegetables left, plus nine bird eggs she took from a
tree on the mountain last time, which had yet to be cooked.
For dinner, she stir-fried wild vegetables with eggs and fried a bowl of fish.
She brought them to the master bedroom for the second and fourth brothers to eat with her.
Xiao Yuchuan was pitifully looking at the three people having a meal inside the room from the open window, “Wife, I’m hungry…”
“You cancel the bet we had earlier, I will come to help you inside the house for a meal.” She said with a smile, “Even if I have to carry or hold you in here, it’s okay…”
“Sounds quite nice.” A smile filled with amusement was sitting at the corner of his lips, “Compared to the option of ‘eating you’, I think it’s better to die of starvation. I can skip meals, but I can’t live without a woman.”
“Then suit yourself.” Her heart was pretty hard, anyway.
The scent of fried fish drifted out from the room, Xiao Yuchuan was lying on the ground, his belly rumbling with hunger, “Wife, I want to eat fish…”
“Does that mean you agree?”
“I want both dinner and you.”
“You can only choose one.” She said, “People shouldn’t be too greedy. Choosing one is good enough.”
“Wife, those two things don’t conflict at all.” He said bitterly, “I’m almost paralyzed from your poison, can you really bear to starve your husband to death?”
‘ She felt like a flock of crows had flown over her head, “I didn’t poison you.
Don’t talk as if I am some wicked woman. You brought it on yourself….”
