The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Su Qingyue glanced at second brother’s stiff face and third brother’s ingratiating expression.

She used to think that the second brother was better than the third, but now she wasn’t so sure.

When the second brother was angry with her last time, he also refused to speak and ignored everyone.

Although the third brother always annoyed her, he has never been genuinely angry with her. He was always trying to please her in his playful way.

She knew full well that the second brother had only eaten half of his fill, but she did not urge him anymore.

He was the one to own his body, if he himself did not cherish it, why should she care too much?

“Wife, the stir-fried wild vegetables with eggs is delicious! Did you buy the eggs?” Xiao Yuchuan hadn’t eaten such good food for a long time, “And the fried fish tonight is even better than what we ate a few days ago.”

She sighed a little, “In the past, we were reluctant to use more oil when frying vegetables, so the food naturally wasn’t as tasty. Now that we can use more oil, the vegetables are much more flavorful. The eggs weren’t bought, they were bird eggs I found on the mountain last time and I saved them until now for frying. We only have enough for one meal. Once we’ve eaten, it’s gone.”

“Wife, the food is pretty good now, with fried fish and eggs. As long as we have brown rice to eat at home, we don’t need such good dishes.” Xiao Yuchuan was worried, “Fetching bird eggs require climbing trees, in case you accidentally fall down…”

“That’s nothing.” Let alone climbing a tree, even if she had to climb up a sheer cliff, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Xiao Yuchuan picked up a chopstick full of stir-fried wild vegetables and eggs, and then finished his rice, “Wife, keep the stir-fried wild vegetables, eggs, and fish for yourself…”

“I told you to finish it all, and you will. I will come and collect the bowls later.” She said, and after that, she turned around and left the room.

The little bastard finished its rice soup, and its four little paws moved quickly as it ran after Su Qingyue. It ran too fast and even rolled a circle like a little furball in the yard.

It immediately got up, it violently shook its small body, shaking off the dust on its fur.

The little one is incredibly cute.

Su Qingyue squatted down and stroked its fluffy ‘puppy face’, “Only you are good, little ‘puppy’. You don’t annoy me nor yell at me.”

“Arf Arf…” The little bastard wagged its tail vigorously, almost shaking it loose, seemingly very happy with its owner’s praise.

The three men in the room heard what Su Qingyue said in the yard. Xiao Qinghe thought, it’s a good thing he had never made his wife angry.

Xiao Yuchuan was suffering silently, feeling bitter that his wife was too naive to understand him.

Xiao Yishan felt a surge of guilt. His wife had been working hard enough, even if she yelled at him, he shouldn’t ignore her. But he’s simply too proud to apologize.

Qingyue went into the secondary bedroom and took out a set of new clothes she bought during the day, and saw the two sets of bellybands and underpants folded neatly in the corner of the bed.

They were given to her by the second brother.

It felt strange for her to receive such intimate clothing from any other man than her husband.

She originally didn’t plan to wear them, but the family was too poor awhile back. Apart from one set of clothing that she had, she only had one set of underwear. While she could change into the third brother’s outer clothes, she didn’t have any spare underwear and decided to wear them because it was too uncomfortable not to.

She had already washed and worn both sets many times.

No matter.

In order not to cause misunderstanding with the third brother, she decided not to mention anything about the bellyband and underpants that the second brother gave her. If he found out later, she could just say she had bought them.

She put the clothes, towel, and soap pod for bathing in a new wooden basin she bought.

She had bought a lot of household items in the past few days.

The house used to lack basics, but now it was adequately stocked.

She carried the wooden basin and left the room..
