The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 467: 467 Qjngyue cares for second brother

She sat up from the bed, looking at the dried ferns filling the room, the utility room, and the rented house. Knowing that they could all be sold for money later, she felt very happy.

As soon as she opened the door to the secondary bedroom, the little bastard had already been waiting at the entrance. Seeing its owner, it immediately stood up on its hind legs, with its front paws gently pawing at Su Qingyue’s leg to act cute.

“Alright, alright, good.” She praised it and walked to the entrance of the courtyard to look into the distance.

The little bastard obediently followed its owner.

The sky had just begun to brighten, and the morning fog was heavy, with dew covering the courtyard fence.

Looking ahead, the distant Dashan and the village houses nearby were shrouded in hazy mist. Birds chirped on the trees, and the green crops in the fields swayed in the morning breeze, exhibiting a simple and rustic beauty in nature.

Entering the kitchen, she found the stove fire had just gone out. She lifted the

pot lid, and a big pot of rice porridge had been cooked.

The aroma of the porridge filled the air.

Xiao Yishan had just brought in a large bucket of well water, “Yue’er, you’re up so early?”

“Second brother got up even earlier, with breakfast already prepared.” She looked at him with the full bucket of water, “Second brother, I can handle the water-fetching. You have an injured leg…”

“It’s not like I can’t walk.” He said indifferently, “I can’t exert myself with my left leg, so carrying water is inconvenient, but carrying a bucket of water is effortless. Anyway, it’s just a matter of running back and forth.”

“Thank you, second brother.”

“This isn’t hard work at all. What’s truly commendable is you, Yue’er…” There was gratitude in his deep pupils, as well as a burning heat.

“Let’s not talk about that, second brother. Eat breakfast.” She didn’t want to face second brother’s unusual gaze, so she took an empty bowl and served herself a bowl of porridge.

Xiao Yishan picked up the leftovers of stir-fried leek and egg, along with two pieces of fried fish from the stove, and put them into her porridge bowl with chopsticks, “Here are some vegetables to go with your meal.”

“What about you, second brother?”

“I’m content with just white porridge.” He scooped a bowl of porridge, couldn’t help but sigh, “Third brother was right. Our family hasn’t eaten refined rice in many years. We’ve been eating brown rice. Yue’er, you’ve managed to prepare half a year of food. You’re really capable.”

“Second brother, you’re too kind.” She drank her porridge quickly.

“Drink slowly, don’t choke.” He frowned at her.

After seeing the bottom of her porridge bowl, she poured the remaining stir-fried leek and egg and the two pieces of fried fish back into Xiao Yishan’s porridge bowl, “Second brother, I don’t want to eat. You eat.”

Xiao Yishan’s cold face immediately filled with gratitude, thinking how good his wife was to give him even such a small portion of vegetables. “Yue’er, you eat…”

He tried to pick some up for her.

“I don’t want it.” She moved her bowl away, thinking that just drinking white porridge would be enough, and she didn’t want to eat the leftovers from last night.

Xiao Yishan assumed that she was being considerate of him, and he felt deeply moved.

Su Qingyue saw that second brother didn’t eat the leftovers, so she simply threw them to the little bastard.

After she drank two bowls of porridge, she said, “Second brother, please take the breakfast to third and fourth brother.”

He nodded.

She noticed that the little bastard’s bowl was still clean, and its eyes were filled with envy as it watched her eat. So, she also served it a bowl of porridge.

She should have washed and groomed herself as soon as she got up, but second brother’s strange gaze embarrassed her, making her eat first.

She glanced at the corner of the stove. In addition to the seasonings for frying, there was a small pot and a bunch of fresh willow twigs.

The small pot contained the medicinal mud toothpaste she had prepared for her family..
