The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 504: 504

It was as if she had never been angry with him, as if she had never disliked him.

The fierceness in his eyes that had barely risen was extinguished by her gentle tone, “No… it’s nothing. It’s just the little bastard who ran in from the kitchen. I drove it back.”

As he said this, he limped towards the kitchen, deliberately making a few exaggerated gestures to ‘chase the dog’.

Su Qingyue, lying on the bed in the secondary bedroom, turned sideways and glanced at the little bastard sleeping beside her, “Little guy, you’re being blamed by the second brother again. He was standing at the door last night, lost in thought, saying he was chasing you.”

“Awoo…” The little bastard stood up on its hind legs and popped its head up over the edge of the bed.

“Good, sleep now.” She patted its fluffy head, “You can’t sleep on the bed. It’s not cold tonight, sleep on the floor.”

“Awoo… Awoo…” It understood its owner’s meaning and lay back down on the floor.

Xiao Yishan arrived at the kitchen doorway and noticed that the little bastard was not in its ‘doghouse’ in one corner of the kitchen. He thought about how the little wolf pup had entered the secondary bedroom earlier – was it still in there?

In that case, was his lie just now exposed to his wife?

Before he knew it, his resolute face filled with embarrassment.

Was Yue’er not exposing his lie because she had feelings for him?

Unknowingly, he found himself back at the door to the secondary bedroom, but before he could speak, Su Qingyue’s soft and breezy voice came out, “Second brother, go to sleep early.”

Xiao Yishan felt a dull pain in his heart, “Yue’er, it’s the second brother’s fault. I scared you tonight.”

Even if she disliked him, she was just a 15-year-old weak girl.

And he, a full ten years older than her.

He shouldn’t hold a grudge against her, and he shouldn’t scare her.

Su Qingyue in the room was startled, people’s emotions change so quickly, and suddenly thought that the men in this family were not so annoying anymore, “It’s okay. Go sleep.”

“Alright.” His voice was steady but with a hint of pain.

He told himself, give her some more time.

He could not hurt her or force her.

His tall figure retreated back to his room.

Xiao Yuchuan saw him enter the room and said discontentedly, “Second brother, did you really make a mess tonight? You were so fierce to your wife.”

“I can’t wait any longer.” He fell onto the bed, his expression pained.

“It was you who said you wanted to give the wife more time, and you even told me not to be so anxious. What about yourself?”

Xiao Yishan’s dissatisfaction exploded, “You call her ‘wife’ every day, and Yue’er acknowledges you, too. Do you know that everyone in the village is now saying that Yue’er doesn’t want to be my wife?”

“Is that true?”

“How could it be fake?”

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t want to share his wife with anyone, and he felt bad when his second brother was upset, “The wife has always treated you better than me. Could there be a misunderstanding?”

“Wang Cuihua personally asked my wife, saying that she disliked me. Just now, she also admitted it in front of me.”

Xiao Yuchuan fell silent, “Second brother…”

Xiao Yishan let out a heavy sigh, his eyes even more determined, “I’ll give her some more time. She is my, Xiao Yishan’s, wife. That cannot be changed!”

Yuchuan, having listened, also began to feel pain in his heart.

He felt an impulse to take his wife away and escape.

Xiao Qinghe’s anxious heart was filled with a sense of helplessness.

The next day, around four in the morning, Su Qingyue got up.

She thought she had gotten up early enough.

When she went into the yard, she saw that the master bedroom’s door and windows were open.

The sky was not yet very bright as the master bedroom was lit by an oil lamp.

Xiao Yuchuan was sitting on the bed, sewing clothes one stitch at a time.

He had already sewn a set of embroidered clothes for himself. Su Qingyue recognized that he was sewing another set of coarse cloth new clothes without embroidery for her.
