Zhou Fuquan and his wife saw her behaving like this and knew she genuinely didn’t care. They felt Su Qingyue was considerate.
Fuquan sighed, “Second Brother and Third Brother are both capable, if not for Fourth Brother’s leg illness, which requires three taels of silver for medicine each month, and Chuan frequently faints, costing a significant amount for medical expenses everytime; if not for the burden, there would always be enough money. The Xiao Family would have saved money and bought some fields long ago. They wouldn’t be without any fields nowadays.”
Su Qingyue didn’t know how to respond.
Fuquan looked at the stove again, and Su Qingyue said, “I’m making porridge, I’ll feed some to Second Brother and Third Brother later, so they won’t be hungry.”
“The Xiao Family is fortunate to have bought you…” Before he could finish his sentence, Fuquan’s sleeve was pulled by Wang Cuihua, “What nonsense, what buying? It’s as if Sister-in-law is married!”
“Right, right!” Zhou Fuquan laughed awkwardly, “I don’t know how to speak, don’t be mad, Sister-in-law.”
Su Qingyue said indifferently, “I know Big Brother Zhou meant no harm.”
Wang Cuihua glanced at the processed wild rabbit meat hanging on the side and the snake pieces drying on the stove, “Sister-in-law is really skilled, having processed the wild rabbit and snake so quickly. What’s the use of drying the snake pieces on the fire?”
She said, “When dried and ground into powder, it can be used to treat… ‘ She repeated what she had said to Qinghe earlier.
Zhou Fuquan was astonished, “So the powder of dried Five-step Snake has so many effects.”
Qi Snakes are commonly known by the folk name Five-step Snake among the people.
Wang Cuihua was curious, “Some people say that after being bitten by a Five-step Snake, one will die from poison after walking just five steps. I have no other intention, I just wonder how Second Brother could walk so far after being poisoned by a snake… ”
“Some people with poor resistance do die quickly. Second Brother squeezed out most of the poison blood when he was bitten, so the poisoning is not deep, and he only passes out when the poison spreads all over the body and the toxicity erupts.”
“So that’s how it is.” Wang Cuihua was impressed, ‘Qingyue, you know so much.”
Zhou Fuquan looked in the direction of the master bedroom, “Sister-in-law, have your meal first, I’ll go with Cuihua to check on Second Brother Xiao and
Chuan.”
Su Qingyue nodded, “Don’t touch the silver needles on Second Brother.” “Alright.” The husband and wife went to the master bedroom.
At the door of the master bedroom, Wang Cuihua thought about Second Brother not being dressed, so she was reluctant to go in, “Fuquan, you go in and check. It’s where people sleep, I can’t go in.”
“Alright.”
In the kitchen, Qingyue put down the few bites of rice she had eaten, and brought in the dishes along with the rice to the secondary bedroom.
She moved several times, placing a bowl of beef, a bowl of vegetables, two bowls of rice prepared by themselves, along with a bowl of cabbage and two bowls of rice brought by Wang Cuihua, all on the table beside sleeping bed of Xiao Qinghe.
Su Qingyue handed him a pair of chopsticks, “Sister Hua also brought food, let’s eat. I originally only cooked one bowl of rice for each of us tonight. With Sister Hua’s rice, each person must eat two bowls, no wasting allowed.”
Xiao Qinghe hesitated with the chopsticks in hand; the meal in front of him was plentiful by his standards. He was not allowed to eat at the table by his wife, and every time either Second Brother or Third Brother brought him food in his rice bowl. When had there ever been various dishes placed on the table? He knew that his second and third brothers had always been good to him.
But they had never dined in the secondary bedroom after all.
Facing a table full of food, Xiao Qinghe couldn’t help but feel moved..
