In this way, the heat from the rice even warmed up the chicken.
Xiao Yuchuan brought Fourth Brother’s rice and medicine to the secondary bedroom.
Xiao Yishan scooped two bowls of rice onto the table, took one of the rice bowls, and put all the chicken on top of the rice. He handed the chopsticks to Su Qingyue, “You’re injured, eat slowly.”
She knew the chicken was the only dish for breakfast, and the second brother gave it all to her. She quickly pushed the bowl back to him, “You eat.”
Although her voice was hoarse, Xiao Yishan seemed to hear her speak, and suddenly became delighted, ‘Wife, you can talk now?”
She picked up the chopsticks and only lowered her head to eat… the dry rice.
There were no other dishes.
She was able to endure hardship, and considering the poverty of this family, it was already nice for them to take her in. She wouldn’t be picky anymore.
Xiao Yishan saw her silently chewing, not talking anymore, and thought he had heard her voice wrong earlier.
His wife was mute, how could she speak? He was just too eager to hear her voice.
Looking at the chicken in the bowl, he felt a little touched. His wife was letting him eat, taking care of him.
Picking up the chopsticks, he put all the chicken back into her bowl again.
She only glanced at him before lowering her head to eat again. She didn’t want to keep pushing the food back and forth with the second brother. He must have thought she was too thin and wanted her to nourish herself a bit.
Xiao Yuchuan entered the kitchen and saw the chicken in his wife’s bowl, feeling very happy, “Wife, eat more. I’ll cook you a bowl of roe deer meat for lunch.”
“Third Brother, I’ll go to town to buy food after breakfast. You take good care of your wife at home,” Xiao Yishan instructed. “Don’t talk nonsense to her and don’t touch her. Don’t let her do anything and let her rest well.”
“I know.” Xiao Yuchuan rolled his eyes at the second brother, “You usually don’t talk this much. Do you think Qingyue is your daughter?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yishan’s stiff and stubborn face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. Looking at Qingyue, though her face was dark and thin and her appearance was not good, she was still very young, only 15 years old. But he was already twenty-five…
Would… she think he’s too old?
Seeing his gloomy expression, Yuchuan felt no guilt, “Second Brother, don’t blame me for being blunt. I only speak the truth. In the village, the average age difference between husband and wife is three to five years. At most, it’s five or six years. I’m already seven years older than Qingyue; maybe she even thinks I’m too old…”
After shoveling two mouthfuls of rice and swallowing, he then asked, “Wife, do you think I’m ok?”
No response.
She didn’t hear it.
“You just like to ignore me.” He tugged at her sleeve, and she turned her head to look at him.
“I asked you, do you think I’m old?” He repeated it again.
She understood such a short sentence. Looking at his swollen pig head face, which was now as bloated and ugly as a corpse, she couldn’t tell his age.
Remembering his face before he was beaten… it was somewhat handsome.
He was probably twenty-two or twenty-three years old. It was younger than her age before time-traveling and older than her now…
If her current body was twelve or thirteen years old, he would be ten years older. If she was fifteen or sixteen, then he would be six or seven years older. This guy had despised her so much, of course, she would return the favor, so she nodded her head earnestly.
“You actually think I’m old!” He exclaimed indignantly, “I don’t despise you, but you dare to despise me!”
“Yes,” she actually responded.
It was normal for a mute to utter a single sound..
