Chapter 495: 495 Qinghe Secret Love
“It’s not soone else’s problem.”
“Then it would be…” Xiao Yuchuan, who was also an intelligent man, inquired, “Second Brother, you never seem to have any grievances. Is it a problem with your wife?”
Xiao Yishan, keeping a straight face, doesn’t reply and continues to fetch water.
Xiao Qinghe, seeing his second brother’s steps as heavy as if filled with lead, comnts, “Second Brother has always been stable, and he doesn’t care much about others. I believe he has hit a wall with his wife.”
Xiao Yuchuan felt the sa. That second brother wanted to take advantage of his wife’s weakness when he was unable to move from the bed, should have brought joy to him. However, seeing his brother so upset, his heart couldn’t help but feel heavy as well.
In the evening, the sunset filled the sky with a glow, and smoke was wafting from each household in Wushan Village.
Su Qingyue needed to fetch water for the kitchen as the water jar was in the backyard. She carried an empty water bucket towards the backyard.
When she arrived, she saw that most of the pig offal for dinner had been washed.
“My dear…” Xiao Yuchuan greeted her with a radiant grin the mont he saw her.
Seeing him covered in sweat after laborious work, Su Qingyue did not chastise him but slightly nodded, and walked to the water jar. She used the wooden ladle inside the jar to scoop water into the empty bucket, ladle by ladle.
Even though washing pig offal requires a lot of water, the jar of water remained full because the second brother kept fetching water.
Looking at her slender and elegant figure, Xiao Qinghe’s clear gaze filled with a subtle admiration.
Just watching her, he felt so in love.
Noticing the gaze, Su Qingyue looked back and saw Xiao Qinghe suddenly lowered his head in embarrassnt as though he had been caught red-handed, with a faint blush showing on the back of his neck.
She couldn’t help but feel that this place lacks won.
Qinghe was always stealing glances at her. She was his sister-in-law; she hoped he would not fall in love with her secretly.
Su Qingyue carried a bucket full of water to the kitchen.
Xiao Qinghe scooped a ladle of water from the tub to wash his hands, and said, “Third Brother, I’m going to help my sister-in-law cook dinner.”
“Oh,” Xiao Yuchuan nodded.
Qinghe, steering his wheelchair, circled from the backyard to the kitchen in the front yard. He couldn’t get through the kitchen door because of the door sill.
He watched her bustling in the kitchen, washing rice, cleaning vegetables, thodically doing her chores.
Even though she was busy, she was not at all in a panic. She was incredibly elegant and poised in every move she made.
Watching her gentle figure, he couldn’t help but feel fortunate; she wasn’t very attractive. Otherwise, with her outstanding talents, how could he, a disabled man, deserve her?
No… even though she isn’t very attractive, he still doesn’t deserve her.
There were two pots on the stove, one pot was boiling soup, and there was fire burning under the stove.
She pulled out a burning firewood from under the soup pot and moved it to the neighboring stove pit without any fire. She added several pieces of firewood to increase the fla for cooking rice.
Su Qingyue glanced at the kitchen doorway and clearly saw Xiao Qinghe staring at her in a daze.
Even a fool could tell from that sowhat infatuated look in his eyes that this handso young man was truly in love with her.
Alas, this wasn’t good news.
She asked, “Fourth Brother, are you trying to get into the kitchen?”
“Yes,” he nodded. Originally, he thought she would carry him in, then bring his wheelchair. This way, he would have physical contact with her during the process…
But, to his surprise, Su Qingyue went into the yard, picked a piece of unused wooden board about one ter long and ten centiters wide from the woodpile, and found two fist-sized stones.
She put the stones close to the outside of the kitchen’s door sill, spaced about seventy to eighty centiters apart. She then placed the wooden board diagonally on the stones, forming a ten-centiter wide ramp outside the door sill.
