The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 543
Chapter 543: Chapter 543
He pushed his wheelchair toward the kitchen to make dinner.
All the doorsteps in the house were gone, probably because today he and his wife went to the town, and second brother had removed the doorsteps to make it easier for his wheelchair to move in and out. Moreover, some uneven areas were filled with relatively flat stones.
He couldn’t help but feel a little touched.
Only after Fourth Brother left did Su Qingyue open her eyes.
“Wife, you’re awake?” Xiao Yuchuan sat beside her and took the handkerchief from her forehead.
She sat up and saw her husband, “I woke up a while ago, just couldn’t sleep deeply.”
“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan gazed at her affectionately, “You never knew that Second Brother and Fourth Brother were also your…” He paused, then continued, “Actually, knowing that you didn’t know makes me very happy. It would be nice if you never knew.”
“I wish so too,” she said painfully, “But now I know.”
“Wife…” he reached out to hug her.
She pushed him away tiredly, “Don’t do that.”
He asked anxiously, “Will… will you accept Second Brother and Fourth Brother?”
“No answer.”
“I want you to say, will you or won’t you?” He was eager for an answer.
Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair had not gone far outside the door. The door and windows of the master bedroom were open so he could hear everything. His heart was suspended in the air.
Thinking that she didn’t even allow him to call her “wife,” she must be… unwilling, right?
Su Qingyue’s voice was light, “My brain is a little confused, don’t ask Third Brother.”
“Okay.” He helped her sit up and felt her forehead, “You’re not feverish, your body temperature is normal. Wife, you’re not sick.”
“I never thought there was anything wrong.” She pulled the corner of her mouth, “I’m just in a mess.”
Xiao Yuchuan took out the finished set of coarse clothes, “Wife, look, your clothes are ready.”
When the Xiao Family was at its poorest, Second Brother and Third Brother took her to Lady Li’s shop to buy coarse cloth that could make two sets of clothes for her. Third Brother had already made her a skirt with purple embroidery. She requested another plain cloth set without embroidery, which was now finished.
She wasn’t very interested in trying on clothes, but since it was embroidered by Third Brother, she held it up against her body.
“Wife, give it a try,” he said, “Put it on, in case it doesn’t fit, I can fix it.”
She glanced at him, “How can I try with you here?”
“Take off your clothes.”
“How can I undress with you watching?”
He naturally said, “I’m your husband, there’s nothing wrong with undressing in front of me.” He whispered, “Besides, is there any part of your body I haven’t seen before?”
Su Qingyue remembered the last night of her acupuncture treatment for her ears when Third Brother watched her naked body for a few hours.
Suddenly, her fair skin blushed shamefully, red with embarrassment, “Shut your crow’s mouth!”
“So now we can’t even tell the truth?” he grumbled, “Hurry up and change your clothes.”
“Get out, and I’ll change.”
“Look at how weak my hands and feet are, you really want me to crawl out?” He held out a pair of slender, good-looking hands with a pitiful look, “Look at my fingers, they’ve suffered so much. It’s all from sewing clothes for you.”
Su Qingyue saw several small needle holes on his fingers and said suspiciously, “Aren’t you good at embroidery? Why are you so careless? You didn’t deliberately poke holes in your hand with a needle, trying to arouse my sympathy, did you?”
