She actually entrusted such a huge amount of silver to him. Moved by her trust, Xiao Yishan’s deep eyes looked into hers as his usually cold voice softened, “Wife…”
“Alright, second brother, you and third brother should sleep early.” She instructed, “Tomorrow morning, you both have to get up early to deliver goods.”
He carefully put away the valuable silver notes and nodded heavily.
That night, Su Qingyue asked Big Mixed Fur to guard outside the door where the dried ferns were rented.
Big Mixed Fur followed the orders, laying quietly outside the rental room for the entire night, or getting up and patrolling around it.
The next day, before dawn, the Xiao Family’s three sons were already up.
The Xiao Family had previously bought a lot of food, and there were many available hemp bags used for meals during the house construction. Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan voluntarily filled the empty hemp bags with dried fern and loaded them onto a horse-drawn cart, securing them tightly with ropes before heading into town.
When Su Qingyue got up, she didn’t see the horse-drawn cart parked in the yard.
Xiao Qinghe, sitting in his wheelchair, saw her come out and said, “Second brother and third brother went to deliver the goods.”
“So early?” Su Qingyue looked at the sky, just barely lit, probably around five in the morning.
“They said that if they set off early, they could make a few more trips.”
“True.” She nodded. To load the dried fern on the cart, second brother and third brother must have gotten up at three or four in the morning. How diligent they are.
“Wife, breakfast is ready.” Qinghe adjusted his wheelchair, facing her, “Do you want me to bring the food to you?”
“I can go eat myself. Fourth brother, you don’t need to be so considerate.” She walked towards the kitchen and found that the water had already been prepared for her face washing. She took a facecloth and dipped it in the water basin and found the water warm…
It was impossible for them to have had warm water exactly when she needed to wash her face.
She glanced at Qinghe in the yard…
She realized that he had been heating the water, replacing it whenever it cooled, keeping a basin of warm water ready the entire time.
Although fourth brother’s legs would never stand again, his devotion to her was unparalleled.
Xiao Qinghe wheeled his wheelchair into the kitchen.
After washing her face, she asked casually, “Fourth brother, how many times did you have to add and remove water?”
He looked at her with confusion, hesitating before he understood, red-faced as he stuttered, “Six…six times.”
She knew fourth brother was a fool. She chuckled lightly, “It seems I should get up earlier next time to save you the trouble.”
“No need.” He hurriedly waved his hands, “Wife, you can sleep as long as you like. You don’t have to get up early.”
“Fourth brother, you don’t need to be so good to me.” She returned the facecloth to its hook behind the door, “I can prepare the water to wash my face myself.” His actions were making her feel constrained.
“But…” He thought about it, all he could do was just these things, right?
He couldn’t deliver goods like second brother and third brother, and he might not even be able to make money in the future…
Although his wife said she would teach him medicine, he was afraid he wouldn’t learn well…
The two ate breakfast in silence.
Breakfast was a porridge made with refined rice, a pot of stewed wild chicken, and two eggs.
She looked at the barely-touched bowl of wild chicken. “Have second brother and third brother eaten breakfast yet? Why hasn’t the chicken been touched much?”
“They eat less meat. They were full from the porridge,” Xiao Qinghe said. “They wanted you to eat more.”
