The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

She rolls her eyes at him.

Worried, Xiao Qinghe’s casual eyes fixate on him, “Third brother, you’re not weak…”

“I just rested, and if I hold it with both hands, I should be fine…” Holding the bowl with both hands, he gulps down the ginger soup in just a few mouthfuls.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe fall silent at the same time. Clearly, third brother is just faking it so his wife will feed him.

After drinking the medicine, Yuchuan hands the bowl over, “Wife, here…”

As Qingyue reaches out to take it, he seizes the opportunity to stroke her hand,

“Wife, your hand isn’t tender enough…’

She glares at him fiercely, unable to hold back her cursing, “Shit! If it’s not tender, why are you touching it?”

“It’s a wasted opportunity not to touch it.” He laughs happily, and asks confusedly, “Wife, what does shit mean? You’ve said it twice.” Qinghe and Yishan look at their wife, also confused.

They’ve never heard it before either.

“Well…” She really wants to tell the truth, but she can’t say it in front of second and fourth brother, after all, third brother’s mom is also second and fourth brother’s mom, so she can’t just swear casually. Her eyes swivel, “It means grass, mud, and horse.”

The three men on the bed listen to her explanation, and maybe because she’s such a good person, they don’t doubt her at all.

Xiao Yuchuan says, “Our house is surrounded by grass and mud. There are no horses in the whole village, though. The village chief used to have a horse, but it died.”

“Oh.” She nods, “It’s a shame that there isn’t a single horse in the whole village. When I have money in the future, I’ll definitely buy a horse and ride it around…”

“Wife, with your skinny little body, can you even get on a horse?” He laughs, thinking buying a horse for the family seems so difficult.

“My horse riding skills are excellent.” She boasts. In modern times, there are horse clubs, and she would sometimes join in and go horse riding when she was bored.

“Wife, you trickster.” Xiao Yuchuan chuckles, “I bet you haven’t even touched a horse’s butt.’

Seeing his wife’s face flare up with anger, Xiao Yishan feels bad for her and scolds Yuchuan, “Third brother, don’t provoke Yue’er.”

“It’s okay.” Qingyue smiles and says, “Don’t worry, second brother, I won’t die from anger. At most, I’ll live a few years less.”

Hearing her say that, Xiao Yishan glares at Chuan, “If you provoke Yue’er anymore, watch out, I’ll beat you up!”

Xiao Yuchuan feels wronged, “Wife, you see, my second brother bullies me.

He’s hit me several times for your sake…”

She considerately says, “Then it doesn’t hurt to hit a few more times.”

“Wife, you’re so cruel…” He leans back against the bed, his face so pale it’s frightening, whether from lack of strength or anger.

Su Qingyue reaches out to grab his wrist, her two fingers probing his pulse, she looks at him with doubt, “Third brother, your pulse is weak, you should have fainted…”

“I told you, I woke up scared. I’m really fainting now.” After he says that, his head tilts, and his eyes close as he faints while sitting. Xiao Yishan gets anxious, ‘Yue’er, what’s wrong with third brother?” Su Qingyue tugs at the corner of her mouth, “He fainted.”

“Is he okay?”

“He won’t die. He’ll have to lie on the bed for a while longer.” She helps Xiao Yuchuan lie down, undoes his clothes, and takes out silver needles for acupuncture.

Although Xiao Yuchuan’s breathing is labored in his unconscious state, after the acupuncture treatment, his obstructed blood flow improves significantly, and his breathing gradually returns to normal..
