He grabbed Su Qingyue’s arm, trying to drag her to eat.
However, he accidentally grabbed her fractured right wrist, which caused her to hiss in pain. She raised her left hand and pushed him away forcefully.
Xiao Yuchuan was pushed to the ground, his butt aching from the hard surface. “Ouch! Wife, you’re killing me! My bruised butt hasn’t healed yet, and now it’s worse!”
Using her left hand to support her right wrist, Su Qingyue glared at the pig-headed man on the ground, who still had the audacity to complain. Did she have a grudge against him? He dares to grab her injured hand.
Xiao Yishan, holding two cleaned, dried bamboo slices in one hand and a medicine bowl in the other, entered the room and scolded angrily, “Third brother, what are you doing? Don’t you know your wife’s right hand is broken?”
“I…” Seeing his wife’s furrowed brows from pain, Yuchuan’s eyes flashed with distress. “I didn’t pay attention! I just wanted her to eat, but she refused…”
Xiao Yishan glared at him angrily then looked at Su Qingyue tenderly, pulling her left hand and helping her sit on the bed. He placed the bowl on the bed’s edge, applied some medicinal paste to her fractured right wrist, and used the bamboo slices to immobilize her wrist, fastening it with a thin rope.
Qingyue sniffed the medicine on her wrist, knowing it was for the injury.
“Applying the medicine will help you heal faster. If your injury isn’t fixed with the bamboo slices and you move it, it might become a permanent disability later,” Yishan explained.
She watched his lips move and nodded.
“Go to the kitchen and eat,” he said, leading her to the kitchen.
On the kitchen table was a large bowl of fragrant chicken stew; beside it, four big bowls of brown rice, four pairs of chopsticks, and another bowl of medicine.
Su Qingyue knew that second brother hadn’t just come from the kitchen. Meaning that his third brother prepared the food on the table.
Why were there four bowls?
She suddenly remembered the patient in the secondary bedroom. Including her, there were now four people in this house. That petty cat even prepared her food; was he willing to share his food with her?
“I’ll take the food to Fourth Brother’s room,” Xiao Yishan said, taking an empty bowl and a half bowl of chicken, filling it with soup, and carrying a bowl of brown rice and chopsticks out of the kitchen.
Su Qingyue knew he was bringing dinner to the person in the secondary bedroom. Judging from the bowl of rice and chicken, second brother treated the patient quite well.
She picked up the chopsticks with her left hand, ready to eat, when Xiao Yuchuan snatched them away.
Her face went cold as she looked at him. Just when she thought he was willing to share, he took the food back! Angry, she stood up to leave, but he grabbed her left hand this time, making sure not to get it wrong. “Wife, where are you going? Are you still mad at me? Don’t be.”
Seeing his friendly gaze, she felt he had no ill intentions.
He pushed the medicine bowl in front of her, “Doctor Sun said that since you have severe injuries, you should eat the medicine before food for a better effect.”
With his swollen pig-head-like face and swollen mouth, she couldn’t see what he was saying clearly. However, from his actions, she understood that he wanted her to eat the medicine first, then the food, as the effect would be better when the wound medicine is taken before eating.
She eyed the petty cat suspiciously, who immediately smiled at her, showing his bright white teeth. The smile was too big, hurting his swollen face, causing
him to hiss in pain..
