The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 368

Chapter 368: 368 Second Brother’s Thoughts

Translator: 549690339

He had never thought of letting his wife make money to support the family; it was a man’s duty to support his family. However, both he and his third brother had encountered problems, and apart from the Zhou Fuquan family, the Xiao Family had no one close to them, so his wife had to suffer.

His wife’s abilities exceeded his expectations. He actually just wanted to get by and didn’t want her to make money. He believed that a woman should be content staying at home and being supported by her husband.

He didn’t voice his thoughts.

Speaking up would only make him, as the head of the household, seem useless. He secretly thought that once his legs were better, he would definitely work hard at hunting to provide a good life for his wife.

Su Qingyue didn’t deny that she was capable. “However, I also spend money quickly. Today, I spent more than twenty-two taels.”

“My wife’s money can be spent however she likes,” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t mind at all. “In the future, when your husband makes money, you can use it however you want, including me, your husband. If you want to use me, just use me!” She scolded, “Don’t be indecent…”

“How can one be decent with his own wife…” Xiao Yuchuan said righteously. “If we’re too decent, we wouldn’t be husband and wife.”

Su Qingyue wanted to say that she didn’t want to be his wife at all. It was their family who didn’t give her a choice, and they pointed her to Yuchuan. If given a choice, she would rather pick the second brother. The second brother was much more mature and stable than the third brother.

However, the Xiao Family had already taken it for granted that she was Yuchuan’s wife, and she had agreed to give Xiao Yuchuan a chance, so there was no need to change it.

Xiao Yishan was silent, thinking that his third brother was right, being too serious was not a trait of husband and wife. He had tried to be more affectionate with Yue’er before, but she always dodged him. He could feel that she hadn’t considered him as her husband at all.

Xiao Qinghe also felt that he and his wife were too distant from each other. But his legs were already useless, so what more could he hope for?

Su Qingyue didn’t know the thoughts of her second and fourth brothers. She told them about the things she had bought with the twenty-two taels, the rice and bedsheets, quilt covers that hadn’t been delivered yet… After saying that, she asked, “Third brother, I bought enough rice for half a year. Will you still say I don’t know how to live?”

“Wife, it’s my fault.” Xiao Yuchuan’s handsome face was filled with guilt. “I didn’t understand the situation clearly. Having such a good wife like you is the blessing I accumulated in my last life!”

There was a hint of tears in his eyes, “The things my wife bought are for household use, and should have been the responsibility of her husband. I am sorry for making you suffer.”

She immediately added, “Then in this life, you can continue cultivating and become a monk to show gratitude to the heaven.”

“Why should I thank the heaven?” He propped himself on the bed, moving from behind his second brother, originally intending to sit with his wife. “If I should thank anyone, it should be you, my wife. I want to treat you well with my body and my heart.”

“Your heart is enough; keep your body to yourself.” Su Qingyue stood up, clearly not wanting to sit with him.

Both Qinghe and Yishan remained silent, unable to hide their shame. Just as Chuan said, she had bought so many things, all for the family’s use.

Su Qingyue told them everything she had bought but didn’t mention that she had ordered a wheelchair for her fourth brother. She thought she’d give him a surprise when the wheelchair arrived. “I haven’t had lunch yet. I originally thought I could rush back to cook at noon. It must be starving for you guys who didn’t have lunch. I’ll go cook now…”

Xiao Yuchuan said, “My wife, the second brother has already made lunch.”

“Oh, then I’ll go eat lunch.” Before leaving the room, she glanced at her second brother, “Second brother, you really mustn’t get out of bed within ten days! ”
