The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Hearing second brother say this, Xiao Yuchuan fell silent.

“Perhaps Liu Xianglian is a bit prettier than our wife, but she is the one who belongs to our family. Now that her body is not well, you must not anger her anymore.” Xiao Yishan patted his shoulder, “For the sake of our family’s peace, even if you want to be with another woman, you have to endure it until our wife gets better. If you really don’t like her later…”

“What are you talking about, second brother!” Xiao Yuchuan got angry, “There’s nothing between me and Liu Xianglian. Not to mention the money-grubbing and snobbish mother of the Liu Family, I don’t even like Liu Xianglian.”

If the third brother said there’s nothing, Xiao Yishan naturally believed him, “Then how do you explain the villagers saying you and Liu Xianglian are being unclear?”

“I often sell goods in the village, and Liu Xianglian occasionally buys some needle and thread, scraps of cloth from me. She always talks to me very enthusiastically. I need to sell goods, so I can’t ignore the customers. Once, Liu Xianglian’s handkerchief fell to the ground, and I helped her pick it up and returned it to her. Just happened that Wang Qigu from the village saw it. You know how big of a mouth Wang Qigu has; she can spread rumors with noses and eyes, saying that Liu Xianglian handed me the handkerchief to wipe my sweat and dropped it because she was flustered when someone saw it. She doesn’t think that I wouldn’t dare to use a young girl’s handkerchief to wipe my sweat.”

“Even if it’s a misunderstanding, it’s your fault.” Xiao Yishan said with a cold face, “In the future, if you see Liu Xianglian, stay away. Don’t give others something to talk about.”

“I know.” Xiao Yuchuan replied. Even if his second brother didn’t say it, fearing public opinion, he, as a big man, may not be afraid of slander and gossip, but his wife has a thin face, so he would definitely take her feelings into account.

“I’ll get some clean clothes for my wife to change.” Xiao Yishan also knew that his wife had no other clothes in this house. Although they had bought a new set of clothes for her when she was just purchased, she took away the new clothes and the money she had stolen but didn’t bring them back. Saying this, he walked to the cabinet, opened the wardrobe to find clothes, “Let her change into my clothes first, even if they are big, just bear with it for now.”

“Second brother, you only have two sets of clothes in this hot weather. The one you’re wearing is wet, so you can change into the other one. Give my clothes to my wife. ”

“All right.” The clothes of both brothers were kept in the same cabinet, so Xiao Yishan took out Yuchuan’s clothes.

Su Qingyue felt a little better and sat up on the bed. Seeing that second brother was just handing her a set of clothes to change, she took it, “Thank you…”

Her voice was still hoarse and inaudible, Xiao Yishan saw her mouth shape and understood what she was saying. His resolute and handsome face blushed involuntarily, “You’re welcome.”

Xiao Yuchuan was also sitting on the bed, with one hand on Su Qingyue’s shoulder. He didn’t ‘see’ his wife’s words and asked puzzledly, “Second brother, what do you mean ‘you’re welcome’?”

“If you dare to let your wife have suicidal thoughts again, even if you’re my third brother, I’ll beat you to death and bury you. I won’t be polite anymore!” He didn’t explain that his wife thanked him.

“It wasn’t me… it was Liu Xianglian and the villagers talking nonsense…”

“Still arguing? Didn’t it all start because of you?” Xiao Yishan looked at Yuchuan with heartache and then looked at Su Qingyue with pity, speaking heavily, “Third brother, you don’t understand. When I was calling out to my wife from behind, asking her not to be impulsive, she still walked deeper into the water stubbornly, determined to die. When I saw the water about to engulf her, my heart was in great pain..”
