The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 664: 664 Looks better with you!

“Wife…” A flash of pain crossed his dark, splendid eyes as he softly murmured, “Fourth Brother was disabled for my sake. I can’t let him down. But I can’t afford to lose you even more…”

As if sensing his gaze, Su Qingyue turned her head and her serene gaze met his passionate gaze in the air.

She felt acutely aware of her third brother’s agonizing pain.

The sadness in his eyes vanished quickly. He turned to her with a brilliant smile, and announced loudly, “Wife, I’m cooking chicken for you. It’s very fragrant. You should eat a lot later.”

Su Qingyue was slightly startled.

It seemed that third brother did not want her to know about his inner torment. He probably did not want her to be affected by his emotional distress, right?

At this moment, she guessed the thoughts of this man.

He wanted her to be happy.

Maybe all this time his antics were all because… he wanted her to be happy, and he didn’t want to see her upset.

Hence, her heart was filled with a faint sorrow.

Xiao Ailiu, looking sour at the side, said, “Third Brother, you really are biased. I didn’t eat breakfast, and I only had a few bites of the pot bottom. You don’t let me eat more and only think of Qingyue.”

“You have no share in the lunch.” Xiao Yuchuan’s face was cold and indifferent.

“How can that be?” She exclaimed, “If I don’t eat, I’ll starve to death…”

“If you’re afraid of starving to death, get lost.”

“Second Brother let me stay.” Xiao Ailiu did not say more. She figured that when Second Brother came back, no one would be in the mood for lunch. The chicken she cooked later would all end up in her stomach.

Xiao Yuchuan cooked rice on one side of the stove, and chicken on the other. Before long, the scent of chicken soup wafted out of the kitchen.

Xiao Ailiu was so greedy that she drooled. Her husband’s family’s conditions were just passable, and they could hardly afford meat. She hadn’t eaten chicken in several months…

She wandered around the pot, but was driven out of the kitchen by Chuan. She was not resigned, and wanted to snatch some chicken pieces before they were lifted off the burner. Seeing Xiao Yishan enter the yard, she immediately ran out, “Second Brother, you’re back. Did you find out?”

The big issue of Su Qingyue’s potential punishment was more important than eating a few pieces of chicken. If she got rid of that bitch named Su, she would be the only woman left in the family. Wouldn’t she be able to enjoy a mouthful of chicken then?

Xiao Yishan hobbled into the yard, his face was darker than the pot bottom.

Seeing the murderous look in Second Brother’s eyes, Su Qingyue calmly raised an eyebrow.

Yishan glanced at Su Qingyue with a complicated and cold gaze, beckoned Xiao Yuchuan, “Third Brother, come here. I have something to tell you.”

With that, he entered the master bedroom first.

He then glanced at Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth Brother, come in too.”

As Xiao Yuchuan passed Su Qingyue, he flashed her a smile, “Wife, don’t worry. Whatever Second Brother says, your husband will report it to you later.” He shouted into the bedroom, “Second Brother, why not say it in front of my wife? Why do you have to say it behind her back?”

“Just come in when I call you!” Xiao Yishan’s voice was harsh and angry, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Second Brother’s actions disappointed Su Qingyue a bit. She said, “If Second Brother wants to whisper something to you, of course he can’t let me hear.”

“…” Xiao Yuchuan bowed his head and gently stroked her hair, “Third Brother will let you know.”

“Go on.”

…

All three men were in the master bedroom, and Xiao Yishan even closed the door.

Seeing Su Qingyue sitting on a chair like nothing had happened, barely moving, Xiao Ailiu cooked up thoughts of soon witnessing her downfall!
