The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

“Mhm.” His scalp tingled under his wife’s murderous gaze, but he still stubbornly nodded vigorously, “They won’t feel hurt, just sad.”

“…” She was so angry that she choked out a single word, “Scram.”

He looked pitiful, “I can’t roll, my butt is numb. I’ve been here all day, not even daring to catch my breath. Wife, help me up…”

She directly rewarded him with a kick.

He was kicked into a sprawl, rubbing the kicked waist, complaining as he stood up, “Wife, it’s my butt that’s numb, why did you kick my waist, you got it wrong.”

With his back to her, he stuck out his butt, “Come on, kick the right one.”

She did not disappoint his expectations, and kicked him once more in the buttocks. He exaggeratedly fell forward, face planting in the mud, and still shouted, “Luckily the floor is hard, and the mud didn’t disperse, or else I would’ve been beaten!”

She started to laugh.

This petty cat is quite entertaining.

He screamed as he stood up, and seeing her smile, he happily dashed over,

“Wife, you’re laughing, are you not mad at me anymore?”

She cleared her throat, “Me being angry is one thing, and me laughing is another.”

“Oh.” He understood, “As long as you’re not angry to death, it’s fine.”

“Now I want to vomit blood…” she was so angry she wanted to vomit blood.

His handsome face turned pale with fright, as he quickly stretched out both hands under her chin to catch, “You vomit, I’ll catch it for you…” She rolled her eyes and waved him away, “I can’t vomit when I see you.”

“That’s great.” He sighed in relief, “I have this effect. Hey, by the way, wife, what were you doing last night? So many silver needles pierced in your body and head, were you seeking torture?”

He couldn’t figure out what she was doing all night, and thought about it from morning till now.

Originally, Doctor Sun from the village and Doctor Chen in town both said that she had congestion in her brain, and that acupuncture was the only way to dissipate it. However, acupuncture was too risky, and might not only fail to cure her deafness, but even cause blindness. Both doctors didn’t dare to try it.

Could she be doing acupuncture herself to cure her deafness?

He found that impossible.

Because his wife didn’t understand medicine at all.

Not being able to figure it out, he could only ask her.

Following his words, she replied, “Yeah, I’ve been seeking torture.”

“Wife,” he said earnestly, “Don’t do this again in the future, it really scared me.

And also… Fourth Brother.”

“What’s wrong with Qinghe?” She immediately showed concern.

Facing her unhesitating concern for Fourth Brother in front of him, Xiao Yuchuan felt a tinge of discomfort, “Why do you care about him so much? Just like me, he’s been worrying about you all night, not sleeping.”

Su Qingyue opened the door of the room and went out into the yard.

The window of the secondary bedroom was wide open, Xiao Qinghe kept sticking his head out and looking this way.

His legs couldn’t move, the window was by the bed. To lean out the window without falling off the bed, he had to slant his body, relying entirely on both hands supporting the window frame, which was particularly strenuous. His face was flushed a bit red.

His hands…

She saw abrasions on his slender, white hands and guessed it was due to too many times he’d been straining to look at the master bedroom, causing his hands to get hurt.

“Qingyue, are you okay now?” Xiao Qinghe’s worried face instantly brightened up at the sight of her.

“I’m fine now.” She was moved by his sincere concern. She walked into the room, helped him sit back on the bed, and his body was shaking slightly, probably because he hadn’t eaten for a long time and had overextended himself..
