The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 563
Chapter 563: 563 The Country Bumpkin’s Wife
It’s his fault.
As a disabled, he can’t protect her at all.
Xiao Yishan wanted to say something, but his mouth moved without making a sound.
Su Qingyue looked at her second brother’s tall and strong figure.
To be honest, she was somewhat disappointed this time.
If it weren’t for Chuan persuading her second brother to take action, he would have wavered and offered compensation.
She wasn’t an unreasonable person. If it were her fault, she would not mind compensating, but she wasn’t at fault in this case.
Moreover, with petty people like Qian Zhang’s family, asking for fifty taels without any real injury would only encourage further extortion.
How would the villagers see the Xiao Family if they compensated without any fault?
How would the Xiao Family live in the village in the future? Wouldn’t everyone think that they were easy to bully and could get money from them with any little trouble?
She would let it go once it’s over.
She couldn’t blame her second brother, as he was probably worried about her going to jail. He cared about her after all.
It’s just that she didn’t agree with the way he handled things.
“Yue’er…” Seeing his wife not speaking, Xiao Yishan didn’t know what she was thinking.
She politely said, “Second brother, it’s my fault. I brought trouble to the family.”
“It’s not Qingyue’s fault.” Xiao Qinghe said, “Qian Zhang was actually targeting me. Qingyue was trying to protect me…”
“It’s because I’m useless.” Xiao Yishan’s eyes flickered with guilt, “I let you both suffer.”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. The new bedsheets and cotton quilts in the master bedroom haven’t been put on yet. I’ll go and put them on.” She said and went to the master bedroom first.
They had bought a total of five cotton quilts for padding and covering, along with five sets of quilt covers and bedsheets. Lady Li had also given them four pillowcases.
She had already changed the padding and blankets in the secondary bedroom with the new ones. Sleeping under the new quilts every night was quite comfortable. She didn’t know why the master bedroom hadn’t been changed yet.
She went into the master bedroom, which had a bed about two meters wide and five meters long. It took three pads to fill it up, and there were only two old blankets covering it before.
She collected the old blankets and bedsheets and told Xiao Yuchuan, who was sitting on the bed, “Go sit on the desk.”
“You’ve worked hard, my wife.” He said.
“The new quilts have been bought for quite some time now.” She said with a puzzled expression, “Why didn’t you guys change them?”
Xiao Yuchuan scratched his head awkwardly, “They looked too expensive, so we didn’t bear to use them.”
She rolled her eyes, “They were bought to be used. What’s the point of wasting money otherwise?”
“But, the material is too good…” Xiao Yuchuan still felt it was a pity.
“You country bumpkin…” She said while quickly laying the padding and putting on the quilt cover.
Xiao Yuchuan moved to a chair with difficulty, propped up his chin, and said, “Wife, you are a country bumpkin’s wife.”
“Yes. Are you satisfied now?”
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe, who were outside the courtyard, heard their wife and Chuan talking and felt uneasy.
She was obviously distancing herself from them.
But her words just now… acknowledged being Chuan’s wife.
The three layers of padding were quickly laid on the large bed in the master bedroom. Qingyue spread the three bedsheets flat on top and neatly placed the three quilt-covered blankets at the head of the bed.
Finally, she put on three pillowcases.
Yuchuan immediately laid down on the bed, nestled in the comfortable new quilt, and said through the quilt cover, “Wife, our quilt smells of cotton… this bedsheet and quilt cover feels even smoother than my skin…”
