The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

“Delaying your meal for a moment won’t starve you, so why the fuss?” After feeding half a pancake to second brother, Su Qingyue tore a small piece and put it to Xiao Yuchuan’s mouth, “Here.”

“Wife, if I don’t open my mouth at this time, will I miss out on eating?”

She raised her eyebrows, “What do you think?”

“My wife’s heart is as firm as iron, so I’d better cooperate.” He bites the pancake she handed over, Yuchuan’s shining eyes sparkling, “Wife, the pancakes you made are so delicious!”

“I think there’s nothing you don’t find delicious.”

“That’s not true. Inedible things don’t taste good.” He swallowed the food in his mouth, “Wife, I want more…”

‘I want more…’ Those three words made her feel uneasy. She tore another piece and fed him.

After feeding Yuchuan the rest of the half pancake.

Xiao Yishan said with concern, “Yue’er, you should eat first. Don’t just feed us.

You should eat your fill first.”

“Hmm.” Su Qingyue ate another pancake at a leisurely pace, genuinely full.

Then she continued to feed second brother and third brother.

Action Xiao Qinghe was silently nibbling on the pancake while sneaking glances at his wife. He also wanted his wife to feed him… but his hands could move, so his wife just handed him the pancake directly for him to eat.

After making up his mind several times, he wanted to say ‘wife, feed me a mouthful too…,’ but when the words reached his throat, he swallowed them back down.

His wife was already so tired that he didn’t dare to even call her wife, let alone make any requests…

Out of the twelve pancakes, Su Qingyue and Fourth Brother ate two each. The remaining eight pancakes were evenly divided between second and third brother and fed to them by her.

Originally, they were not willing to eat so much. She calculated the portions and knew that only this amount would be enough for everyone to feel full.

“Huh!” Xiao Yuchuan ate his fill and belched, “Wife, I’m stuffed. Is there any water to drink?”

“You have too many questions…”

“Wife, you’re so mean, not even letting me drink water…”

Su Qingyue looked at the other two, “I guess second brother and fourth brother are thirsty too. I’ll get some water.”

She picked up the empty plates and went into the kitchen. Seeing the empty big water jar, she saw a little water at the bottom that couldn’t be scooped up with a wooden ladle. Looking at the night sky outside, she guessed it was about 11 o’clock at night and was too lazy to go and fetch well water.

She took a clean bowl and placed it on the ground. Carefully tilting the big water jar, she held the rim with one hand and supported the bottom with the other, pouring the last bit of water into the bowl, just enough for one bowl.

She put the water jar back in its original position and carried the only bowl of water and a bowl of medicine that she had prepared while making pancakes back to the master bedroom, “There’s only one bowl of medicine left, and only one bowl of water left. I’m too lazy to fetch water.”

She handed the medicine bowl to second brother, “Your medicine. You need to take the anti-snake venom medicine for a few more days.”

Xiao Yishan took the medicine bowl and drank the bitter medicine in three gulps.

Qingyue then handed the water bowl to Xiao Yuchuan. She originally thought he would snatch a drink, but he shook his head, “Wife, I’m not thirsty, you drink.”

Looking at his dry lips, he was obviously very thirsty.

There had been no drinking water prepared in the secondary or master bedrooms for the entire day, so the three men must be thirsty.

This petty cat still cared for his wife, and her heart warmed, “Give it to second brother and fourth brother to drink.”

Xiao Yishan also shook his head, “I just drank medicine, which has water in it, so I don’t need to drink. Yue’er, you drink with third and fourth brother..”
