“Wife… this is the private money you’re giving me…” Xiao Yuchuan grumbled, “You’re not supposed to announce private money.”

Su Qingyue couldn’t exactly say it was money for his whoring. How would that look to the mature and stable second brother, or the pure and handsome fourth brother?

She couldn’t lead them astray.

“You dare to cheat me, and you don’t want me to talk about it,” she glared, “I’ve kept a hundred cents for myself to use.” She took the remaining copper coins and three silver ingots and handed them over on the bed.

Xiao Yuchuan instinctively reached out to take them, “It’s good for my wife to hand over the money. It’s not safe for a woman to carry too much money. Third brother will help you keep it…”

But she bypassed his hand and handed the money to the second brother, “Second brother is the head of the family, it’s better for him to manage the family’s savings.”

Xiao Yuchuan was left empty-handed and awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Xiao Yishan, deeply moved by the large sum of money, was touched not by the money itself, but by his wife’s trust in him, “Qingyue, the money is what you’ve earned. You should keep it.”

She forced the money into his broad hand, “Second brother, you should manage it. In the past, third brother and fourth brother would also hand over their earnings to you. Besides, third brother is right. It’s not convenient for me, a woman, to carry around so much money. When I need it, I’ll come to you.”

In fact, it was much more convenient for her to have the money. But with second brother being so diligent and caring for her, she didn’t want him worrying about money while recovering from his injuries.

“Alright,” Xiao Yishan nodded, his gaze at her filled with affection.

Such a burning gaze from a man made Su Qingyue feel very awkward, and she quickly busied herself with cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks on the table. Xiao Yuchuan laughed playfully, “Wife, you’ve got so much silver and won’t even let me touch it. I would’ve given it to the second brother even if you’d handed it to me.”

“Pfft!” She didn’t trust him at all.

“Seriously!” He looked distressed, “My wife, you’re really something. You don’t believe me when I tell the truth. When I lie, you believe it wholeheartedly.”

He never complained about her face, he just liked teasing her and seeing the rich expressions on her small face.

He also enjoyed it when she picked fights with him, it filled their home with laughter.

Actually, she didn’t know that before she came to the Xiao family, there had never been any laughter. Second brother would often go hunting for days, while fourth brother would never leave the secondary bedroom.

After they bought her and before she was severely injured by the steamed bun stall boss in the town, the entire Xiao family was shrouded in gloom.

Her contemDt for fourth brother, not allowinz him to eat at the table…

Her refusal to be the wife of the Xiao family, her attempt to escape, even stealing the eight taels of silver from the household…

All of that only made him and his second and fourth brothers detest her even more.

But everything changed after she got hurt and was carried back by the second brother.

Even though it was still her, when he looked into her clear and calm eyes that occasionally hinted at playfulness, he couldn’t help but find her attractive, despite her plain features.

Before, he couldn’t stand to be around her and wanted to sell her as early as possible. Even being a bachelor would be better than having a thieving wife like her.

But later, he tried every way to get close to her.

Although she seemed easygoing, he felt like he could never get close to her heart.

It didn’t matter if she was angry or scolded him. He just wanted to talk to her more, have her pay attention to him. That alone would make him feel better, even happy..
