With his head down, his normally long eyelashes appeared even thicker.
His eyes were beautiful.
His intense focus as he sewed, needle and thread piercing in and out of the fabric, had a certain unspoken charisma.
What mattered most to her, however, was that the fabric in his hand was from the cloth shop in town-which he bought for her. He was… making clothes for her by hand.
From her past life to this one, no man had ever made clothing for her. Xiao
Yuchuan was the first. A strange feeling welled up in her heart, and she
couldn’t deny that she was somewhat moved.
Glancing at the fabric, even a layman could tell it was enough for two sets of clothes.
Being so thrifty he wouldn’t even eat lunch, he had spent half a day calculating the cost when paying in the cloth shop – possibly because the total was a bit complicated.
He was indeed frugal, but that was because he was genuinely poor, and the family’s burden was heavy.
Yet, he was exceptionally generous when it came to her.
She saw that the thread he used for his own sewing was of high-quality, not the ordinary type. At the time, she even thought he was buying the good thread to sell for profit.
In the storage room, she noticed two baskets filled with miscellaneous goods. Since the second brother was a hunter and the fourth brother had a disability, she guessed the goods belonged to him, the petty cat, and he made money by selling them.
She understood his intentions. He couldn’t afford nice clothes for her, but he tried to use good thread to give her the best quality he could.
Her thoughts were complicated again.
She turned her gaze away, and when she looked straight ahead, she saw that second brother wasn’t sleeping either. He was lying sideways, facing her, his deep eyes unblinkingly staring at her.
Qingyue’s heart squeezed uncomfortably, sensing second brother’s gaze was too intense.
Even with over a meter between them, she could feel the heat radiating from his body.
She was his sister-in-law, he shouldn’t have such thoughts.
Keeping her face stern, she deliberately scolded, “Sleep, stop thinking nonsense!” referring to the second brother.
Xiao Yishan understood her and rolled stiffly onto his back.
To avoid embarrassment, Su Qingyue added, “Xiao Yuchuan, I told you to sleep and stop daydreaming!”
“What nonsense am I thinking? I’m busy…” Hearing his wife’s words, Xiao Yuchuan raised his aggrieved head to look up, only to see that she wasn’t even looking at him.
The oil lamp was still burning. Su Qingyue sat up straight, “Xiao Yuchuan, didn’t you hear me telling you to sleep?”
He grinned, “Is my dear wife worried about me?”
“Who cares about you?” she snorted coldly, “I just don’t want to waste lamp oil money.”
He couldn’t laugh anymore, “Dear, I’m sorry I’m so poor. I don’t light this oil lamp for so long every night. It only takes a few nights to make clothes like this. It won’t waste too much lamp oil…”
He was sincerely explaining, while she was just bluffing, “I told you to sleep. I can’t sleep with the light on.”
“But without the lamp, the moonlight outside is not bright enough to embroider clothes…” He thought for a moment, “Or, I could go to the kitchen and work there…
“No need. Embroidering at night with dim light is bad for your eyes. Just go to sleep.” She still had to give him acupuncture once he fell asleep. She couldn’t let him delay her important work.
“Dear, you are too kind to me…”
“I’m not kind to you.” She glanced at the needlework in his hand. She feared she might not get to wear the clothes he made. With acupuncture tonight and tomorrow, her deafness would be cured, and she had to leave the day after
tomorrow..
