The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

It let out a “howl” and went to the corner to drink several mouthfuls of water from its bowl, before running back to her and rubbing its little wolf head against her leg. It seemed to be acting cute with its owner and complaining about being confined.

She picked up its small body, supporting its belly with her palm and remarked, “Just a few days and you’ve grown quite a bit and gained some weight.” Although it was still quite small.

“Howl…” it stuck out its tongue and licked her wrist.

“You poor little thing, having been with me for so many days and never having a meal of meat.” She opened its mouth with her other hand and saw its little teeth had grown in its small ‘dog mouth’. “You can eat meat stew now. There were days when I was so poor, I almost couldn’t even feed you rice soup. Thankfully, I have some money now, so I shouldn’t treat you too poorly. I’ll give you meat soup tomorrow. Let’s agree that it’s not going to be meat soup every meal. Unless I become rich. I’m just temporarily not worried about food and clothing, so you have to help me save money too, understand?”

It stared at her with its round, dark brown eyes, not understanding what she was chattering about, and just kept licking her wrist with its little tongue.

“I haven’t even bathed today, I’ve been sweating all over, and my hands are salty, don’t lick them randomly.” She put its little body down, and it ran to the food bowl like a big rat, “gulping and slurping” the rice soup.

It’s happily drinking even the brown rice soup, Su Qingyue deeply felt, “Little bastard, you’re a good chap who can endure hardship.”

It turned its wolf head to glance at her and continued drinking.

While watching its little, fluffy body, Su Qingyue became more convinced that third brother was right: it was simply just a big rat.

She walked to the master bedroom and saw half a bowl of untouched rice and even vegetables on the table. Obviously, the three men in the room hadn’t eaten enough, “Was tonight’s meal not to your taste?”

Xiao Qinghe’s smile was warm and gracious, “It was delicious. I’ve already eaten well. It’s just second brother… who didn’t eat much. Third brother hasn’t eaten yet.”

“Didn’t second brother like tonight’s vegetables?” She caught a glimpse of Xiao Yishan; anger laced his beard-covered, rigid and severe face.

She asked with a smile, “Second brother, looking at your icy expression, you’re about to freeze the room. Who upset you?”

He stayed silent.

She knowingly asked, looking at third brother, “Third brother, is it you?”

Xiao Yuchuan shook his head, “Wife, you’ve annoyed second brother yourself; you can’t blame me. Second brother is so angry that he can’t eat.”

She was puzzled, “Second brother, what did I do wrong? Is it because I am too ugly?”

He stared at her, still not saying anything.

Had it been third brother, he would’ve quarreled with her long ago. For second brother, this kind of silent gourd, she had no choice “No matter what you all think, don’t waste the food on the table.’

“Wife, since you won’t consummate with me, I am too angry to eat …” Xiao Yuchuan expressed his grievance.

Su Qingyue snorted coldly, “Even if you don’t want to eat, you have to.”

“Alright.” Food was hard to come by, especially when a weak girl like his wife earned the money, so it was even more difficult. Xiao Yuchuan naturally wasn’t picky; he sat at the table, picked up a clean empty bowl on the table, filled it with rice from the bowl, and ate with unused chopsticks.

With his mouth stuffed with food, Xiao Yuchuan looked at her tenderly and mumbled, “Wife, you are so kind…”

He had previously laid outside the room on the ground without seeing the bowl and chopsticks she had prepared for him. In fact, she just couldn’t bear to see him hungry..
