From his sickly pale complexion and his motionless sitting position, along with the medicine smell wafting from the secondary bedroom, she guessed that his lower limbs might have been paralyzed for a long time.
Paralysis might not be curable even in modern times with high-tech equipment and many people are paralyzed for life.
She Imew Second Brother and Petty Cat, both of them treated Fourth Brother very well, they must have spent all their money to find doctors to cure him.
If other doctors couldn’t cure him, and if his paralyzed leg had no sensation, she would definitely not be able to cure him either. Only if the leg still had sensation, there would be a chance.
Moreover, she was deaf now, which was inconvenient.
She would wait till she cured herself first, then help him with his meridians before she left.
Entering the room, she carefully folded her clean clothes, placed the bellyband and lingerie in between the clothes so that the men in this family wouldn’t see them. After folding, she placed them in the corner of her sleeping spot on the bed. She was too embarrassed to put her clothes together with Second Brother’s clothes in the wardrobe, it was too… intimate.
Then she thought of how Petty Cat had snatched her laundry several times, including her bellyband and panties, and her head was filled with black lines.
Petty Cat’s methods of courting her were quite sophisticated, with a persistent and considerate approach…
She would not be bewitched.
Coming out of the room, she saw Petty Cat coming from the kitchen and called out, “Third brother…”
He said discontentedly, “Who’s your third brother?”
“You,” she said matter-of-factly, “Isn’t that how Second Brother calls you?”
“Second Brother is my brother.” He pouted, “How can you call me like that? You should call me husband.”
“In your dreams.” She rolled her eyes. How many times did she have to say that she wouldn’t marry him, and he just wouldn’t understand?
He compromised, “If you won’t call me husband, you can call me Third
Brother.”
“No way.”
It seemed like he thought of something, his eyes brightened, “Wife, if you call me third brother, does that mean you don’t mind that I’m older? Actually, I’m only seven years older than you… ” She immediately changed her words, “Third Brother.”
He touched her head, “That’s a good girl.”
Like a pat on a little dog, she slapped his hand away, “Who’s your third sister-in-law? Old man, I mind you being extremely old!”
His face stiffened, “Su Qingyue, you really want to make me unhappy, don’t you?”
“Did you make me happy?” Remembering that he actually called her a ghost… that means in his eyes, she was uglier than a ghost, she decided to hold a grudge against him for life and never forgive him! Glancing at him, she finally asked, “What’s your name?”
He placed his hand on her forehead for a moment and said, “You don’t even know my name, are you dumb?”
“Pfft, I don’t know you.” She snorted, “Am I supposed to know your name?”
That damn woman, she had been staying in the Zhu Family in the village for three years and wasn’t deaf before, how could she not know his big name, Xiao Yuchuan? He knew she was angry with him again, “My surname is Xiao, a resounding and beautiful name – Yuchuan.”
“Oh, I didn’t know you were so famous.” She answered casually.
His face turned red, “Of course, in the big Wushan Village, I am famous for being handsome… many girls and young wives have fallen for my good looks.”
“Then why haven’t you married one?” She asked with a smile, “No one wants to marry you, right?”
“Su Qingyue, you’re deliberately trying to make me angry, aren’t you?” He was about to say that even if no one wanted to marry him, he still had her, but she asked first, ‘What’s Second Brother’s name?”
