Feeling upset inside, “Wife, you’re playing favorites!”
He puffed up his face in annoyance, waiting for his wife to coax him. Little did he know that his wife wouldn’t even glance at him.
“Hmph!” he snorted angrily.
Xiao Yishan looked over at him, “Third Brother, what are you doing standing there? Take the water bucket to the kitchen and pour it into the water jar. Check the stove fire, and make sure the food in the pot doesn’t burn. I saved a wild pheasant and didn’t sell it. Cook it for your wife to strengthen her body, and you can make dinner tonight.”
“I got it.” Yuchuan reluctantly carried the load of water that second brother had just brought back, entering the kitchen.
Yishan glanced at third brother’s unhappy expression, thinking that he was reluctant to cook the pheasant for his wife, couldn’t help but shake his head and concentrate on washing Su Qingyue’s dirty hair.
Her head under his fingers was just the size of a slap, and her weak body, with wet clothes clinging to her, was so thin that it seemed it could be blown away by the wind. He felt a slight pain in his heart, “Wife, don’t worry about what third brother thinks. He’s just careless with his words. Rest assured, I will make you fat and white.”
Su Qingyue had her left hand on her thigh while her injured right hand hung at her side. With the second brother’s help, she let him scratch and wash her hair. Second brother seemed to be very careful, with a light touch and a tender way of scrubbing her hair.
She felt that although the second brother looked strong and tall, he was actually quite gentle, at least to her.
And, the second brother’s movements were a bit stiff, and it seemed that he was a little nervous.
She didn’t expect that the second brother could be shy.
In the future, any woman who could marry the second brother would be very fortunate.
Xiao Yishan washed her hair with soap liquid again and again, pouring water over her head to rinse. The dirty water from washing her hair flowed through the mud next to the fence and out into the muddy ground outside.
After pouring two large buckets of warm water, Su Qingyue’s hair was finally clean.
Xiao Yishan twisted most of the water from her hair. He had never helped a woman wash her hair before, and his dark face showed embarrassment. However, he remembered that this woman was his wife, and it was only natural for him to help her wash her hair.
He held a towel in his hand and wiped the remaining dampness from her hair, thinking that he would have to dry it completely for her.
Su Qingyue felt that after her hair was washed, she shouldn’t continue to let second brother help her wipe it, so she took the towel and wiped it herself.
When Xiao Yishan’s hand left her hair, he felt a sense of emptiness and loss, “Wife, the hot water is ready. I’ll get it for your bath.”
He turned around, picked up a bucket, and went into the kitchen hurriedly. After scooping out a bucket of hot water, he brought it from the yard and the big bathtub on the desk, and moved it into the master bedroom for sleeping.
He poured a bucket of hot water into the basin.
Su Qingyue didn’t want her clean hair to touch her dirty, damp clothes, so she spread out a towel with one hand, rolled it around the edge of her hair, and then twisted one corner of the towel into the circle. This way, her hair was completely wrapped in the towel and wouldn’t fall off.
Although making a bun with one hand might be difficult for others, it was quite simple for her.
Having bent over for a long time while washing her hair, she slowly straightened her waist, and her weak body couldn’t bear it. Her steps stumbled, and she almost fell.
Xiao Yishan quickly rushed over and held her, “Wife, are you alright?”
She steadied herself and found that her body was being held by second brother. Her body was so weak and small that it was probably only half the size of second brother’s, which made her feel his strong and tall stature even more..
