The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 158 - 158: 158 Wife’s Sorrow

Now, all she wants is to live her life well. Little did she know that she has a husband in this body, which disrupted her plan to leave the Xiao Family right away.

Xiao Yuchuan’s mouth moved, Su Qingyue was just lost in her thoughts and didn’t notice what he had said. Seeing the concerned look in his eyes, she knew he was caring for her.

“Dear, what are you thinking about?” His bright eyes were filled with concern, “Please don’t be like this. If there’s anything I did that upset you…” Pointing to his own face that she had slapped a red handprint on, “You can slap me again.

If you’re still not happy, you can throw me into the river. If you think that’s too much trouble, I’ll willingly jump into the river myself…”

After understanding his words, she felt a bit heavier in her heart.

She wasn’t a fool. To Xiao Yuchuan, she was just a purchased wife. Even after she slapped him and threw him into the river, he didn’t get angry. If it were someone else, he might have beaten her long ago.

Of course, with her current skill, whoever tried to touch her would be the one to die. What’s important is that he never meant to hurt her and kept trying to please her.

Apart from his annoying mouth that often angered her, he was really good to her.

She looked at him with complicated eyes, her voice soft and distant, “Don’t be so nice to me.” With a stride, she bypassed him and strode away.

He muttered behind her, “You’re my wife. If I’m not good to you, who should I be good to?”

Unfortunately, she didn’t hear that sentence, and even if she did, she couldn’t give any response.

Xiao Yuchuan recalled his wife’s grieving appearance earlier, and felt a strange pain in his heart, as if she had suffered some great injury.

He knew that before, she lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in the Zhu Family, hungry and full in turns. After coming to the Xiao Family…

Suddenly, he thought of the time when she threw Fourth Brother’s things out of the room, and he had severely beaten her. She wouldn’t be holding a grudge for that, would she…

But he felt he had done nothing wrong.

In the past, he couldn’t wait to choke her to death. After she was rescued by his second brother from the town, she changed a lot, and he always wanted to cherish her.

If she really held a grudge for what happened before, he had already beaten her… What else could he do? At most, let her hit him back. Fortunately, she slapped him today, which could be considered a small compensation.

He never fully realized that his wife was no longer the same person as before, and he just called out with a sullen face, “Wife, wait for me…”

The faster she walked, the quicker he followed by jogging.

When they returned to the Xiao Family, Su Qingyue saw her second brother waiting at their room’s door. With curiosity, she asked, “Second brother, why didn’t you go inside to change your clothes?”

“You change first. It’s getting dark, don’t catch a cold.”

She felt once again that her second brother was kind, “Second brother, why don’t you take the clothes and go change in Fourth… Fourth Brother’s room? I don’t want you to catch a cold either.”

Thinking of the Xiao Family’s fourth son, that handsome seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, by her twenty-five-year-old soul’s standards, he was much younger than her. As for her current body, she unintentionally learned from the petty cat that she was only 15 years old.

That young man could only be called fourth brother by her now.

His wife was worrying about him! Xiao Yishan’s originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened. With a smile on his lips, he went into the room to get his clothes and headed towards his fourth brother’s room.

Xiao Yuchuan gently tugged at Su Qingyue’s wet hair that was draped over her body.. She turned around,
