“Second brother, why have you gotten up?” She furrowed her brow, walking over to support him by the waist. She could feel his solid torso and the heat of his skin under the sun even through the layer of his clothing. Looking up at him from his side, she realised just how tall and strong he was, an overpowering presence that made her feel breathless.
She couldn’t help but liken the man before her to a rugged giant. “The snake venom in your system has just subsided. You may be able to move your body, but your leg is still broken. You absolutely have to avoid standing on it. Go lay back down…”
“I’m okay…”
She looked annoyed. “Look at you. You’re all sweaty!”
Her displeasure caused a warmth to well up in his heart, knowing that she cared for him, “Yue’er, I’m really fine…”
“It’s not about you, it’s about your leg.” she guided him towards the master bedroom, “You’re not supposed to get up from the bed for ten days, otherwise, your leg may have complications. And even after ten days, you’re only allowed to move around in the yard. You’ll need at least two months to fully recover. Your leg injury is very severe this time. The consequences of disobedience could leave you impaired!”
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Qinghe were glad to see their wife enter the yard through the open window. Qinghe was intently watching her from his spot on the bed.
This filled Yuchuan with excitement as he shouted from the room, “Dear, you’re back! Too bad I’m still weak, only able to hold a bowl and eat, restricted to the bed, otherwise I would have gone out to meet you. Second brother is much better than me. He feels strong enough to get off the bed…”
Su Qingyue gave him a glare through the window, “You should’ve stopped Second Brother from getting off the bed!”
“He insisted on getting up, saying that if he continued to lie down, his butt would grow mold. How can you blame me…”
Xiao Yishan gave his younger brother a frosty look. When did he ever say his butt was growing mold? He only said he felt uncomfortable lying down all the time. His little brother truly dared to say anything.
“You got a problem with it?” Su Qingyue stared back at him, she helped Xiao Yishan into the master bedroom and had him sit on the bed.
She then returned to the yard.
Wang Crippled stood by the cow’s car, looking at the goods on it, “Madam Xiao, your cotton quilt is new. I’ve been driving the cow’s car and have worked up quite a sweat. I wanted to help you unload, but I’m afraid I’d dirty your cotton wadding…”
“I can do it myself.” she said, “I also worked up quite a bit of sweat. I’ll go wash my hands and face in the kitchen before unloading.”
“Yue’er, let me…” Xiao Yishan was about to get up when a glare from Su Qingyue through the open door stopped him. “Stay put! No getting off the bed!”
Xiao Yishan was frustrated, as even helping to move the cotton quilts was off limits.
Yuchuan and Qinghe also looked remorseful. All three of them were curious about why their wife had purchased so many quilts. They could see from the cow’s cart parked in the yard that she had bought five each of covers and mattresses. The three men couldn’t remember how old the quilts at home were and realized they were no longer as warm, but they never had money to buy new ones. Now that their wife had bought some…
The three felt ashamed about spending their wife’s money. However, they could do nothing about the current situation where they could hardly get off the bed.
After washing her hands and face, Su Qingyue carried three quilts for mattresses and covers into the master bedroom, leaving the rest for the secondary bedroom.
Then she put away the twenty jin bag of sugar, the soy sauce, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and other seasonings she had bought into the kitchen.
After taking the two umbrellas into the master bedroom, she gave Wang Crippled his fifteen cents fare. She thought for a moment,
