The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

He suddenly felt like his brain had been completely smothered.

How could the owner of such clear eyes ever steal money from home? No matter what kind of person his wife was in the past, she had changed since the second brother had rescued her from the town. It was impossible for her to be stealing money now.

He nervously tried to laugh it off and explain, “My dear, at that time I thought you were helping me find clothes to wear…” He hoped it wasn’t too late to fix things.

She pulled a corner of her lip down, “Really? You specifically took a set of your clothes to me. How could you have thought I was just looking for clothes? The fact… is just like you thought.”

He turned serious all at once, “My dear, do you know what I misunderstood you to be doing at the time?”

“Stealing money from your family.”

He was secretly shocked by her cleverness and daring to deny, “You didn’t…” “As a man, once you’ve had such thoughts, why bother denying it?”

He always felt as if her heart was a million miles away from his, a fear of losing her rose in his heart, and he tightly embraced her, “My dear, I was wrong, I admit it.”

She didn’t push him away, just stood there, stiff and motionless.

Her behavior made him feel even worse. He would rather she lost her temper and pushed him away, scolding him loudly, instead of remaining silent and letting their hearts drift even further apart.

He remembered that she is deaf, so hugging her and talking doesn’t make her understand what he was saying. So, he let go of her and spoke directly to her face, “I was wrong, my dear, I admit it. I won’t doubt you anymore in the future.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Originally, the Xiao Family had spent sixteen taels to buy her, and they treated her so well that she was still hesitant about leaving. Now… after her deafness is gone the next night, she would not hesitate to leave.

They may think her ungrateful, but she will definitely repay the Xiao family in the future.

She glanced at the long sleeping bed.

She thought that, in name, she is Xiao Yuchuan’s wife. Regardless of the kind of relationship she had with him in the past, it was the original owner’s business and had nothing to do with her now.

The second brother also slept on this bed, which was always inconvenient.

But there were only the master bedroom and the secondary bedroom in this house. The secondary bedroom is occupied by the fourth brother, and it’s not right to take a sick person’s room.

The rest of the people could only sleep in this single master bedroom.

Despite the inconvenience, they had survived so many days. Fortunately, the sleeping bed was long and large enough.

Xiao Yishan had hung his clothes on the fence outside, so he came in. Seeing Xiao Yuchuan with a worried and bitter expression, his dear wife is emotionless, and he couldn’t tell whether she was happy or angry, “Third brother, what’s the matter?”

“I upset my wife…” His voice was muffled.

“What happened?”

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t say a word.

Su Qingyue glanced at Xiao Yishan. The second brother was indeed in a towering figure, and as he entered the room, the large room seemed much more crowded.

Thinking that he is her nominal husband and also the second brother who also slept in this room, she felt that it was really inappropriate! They could only say they were too poor, they just couldn’t afford extra rooms.

Last night, the second brother slept in the middle, she slept on the far left, and Xiao Yuchuan slept on the right, the three of them were more than a meter apart.

In principle, Xiao Yuchuan should be the one to sleep in the middle no matter what…

In case she accidentally got too close to the second brother while sleeping, that would be disastrous.

After thinking for a while, she realized that she was a quiet sleeper, and so was the second brother as per the last night’s observation, so it was fine.

She thought the second brother was a very stable and reliable person, and given his status as uncle, he would definitely not mess around. On the other hand, that petty cat… definitely couldn’t be trusted..
