Chapter 914: 914 already agreed
“This piece of pork is a little short.” Xiao Yuchuan weighed it in his hand, “It’s missing about three taels, surely that cheap wench Li Rong’er has stolen from our portion of pork.”
The household’s residual food had all been allocated and stored in each respective room, with purchased vegetables as the only regular bought items, leaving only a large piece of pork weighing about nine jin.
The pork was also divided into three portions, three jin for each household.
Su Qingyue smiled, “Third Brother, you can even tell it’s missing three taels?”
He responded, “You forgot, your third brother is a vendor, dealing with poles every day, so I’m crystal clear about weights and measures.”
“I indeed forgot.” She was genuinely unconcerned.
He washed the pork and adeptly chopped the vegetables. “Tomorrow, I’ll borrow a horse-drawn cart from Fourth Brother to buy clay bricks and set up a kitchen. Wife, is there anything particular you’d like to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”
She shook her head, “Nothing I particularly want.”
After preparing dinner late, Xiao Yuchuan went into Xiao Qinghe’s room to call him, “Fourth Brother, dinner’s ready. Time for dinner.”
“You guys go ahead. I don’t have an appetite,” a despondent voice came from the room.

No more movement was heard outside the door.
Xiao Yuchuan put the cooked food on the window sill of the kitchen, “Fourth Brother, I’ve put your food on the window sill. Try to eat something.”
Without waiting for a response from inside the room, Xiao Yuchuan returned to the kitchen.
Under the faint moonlight and sparse stars, Qinghe pushed open the door and wheeled out. He saw the kitchen lit with lamp oil, where inside, Third Brother and his wife were dining at the table, with Third Brother continually serving food to his wife, who smiled warmly—a picture of bliss.
Xiao Qinghe watched the scene with layers of sourness in his heart, along with a thick pain.
Regret welled up in his chest once again.
“Aren’t you the noble one, giving up your true love… What’s there to regret now?” he murmured to himself in self-mockery.
He turned his wheelchair and returned to his room. Without lighting a lamp, he just sat silently on the wheelchair, letting the darkness engulf him.
After dinner, Xiao Yuchuan tidied up the kitchen before he and Su Qingyue returned to their room.
The room he was allocated was one for storing food and miscellaneous items, one was her pharmacy, and there were two more, each for him and Su Qingyue’s separate bedrooms.
Su Qingyue walked to her own room’s doorway, hearing from several rooms over, the exaggerated moans from Li Rong’er in Second Brother’s room.
Clearly, Second Brother and Li Rong’er were ‘at it’ again.
Qingyue frowned slightly, “Second Brother is always working so hard, isn’t he afraid to aggravate his knife wound?”
Xiao Yuchuan said, “Wife, don’t worry. Not to mention that Second Brother’s injury has healed a great deal, I also secretly asked Second Brother before not to ‘work too hard.’ He said that it’s Li Rong’er who’s doing the ‘hard work’.”
Su Qingyue didn’t understand at first.
Yuchuan whispered in her ear, “What Second Brother means is that, except for the first time, to prevent Second Brother’s knife wound from tearing, it’s been Li Rong’er on top and Second Brother lying… Second Brother doesn’t have to exert much effort, so naturally, he isn’t afraid of tearing the wound.”
Su Qingyue’s face turned red, “Ah, don’t tell me these things.”
He clung to her as they entered the room, “Wife, I really want to be with you…”
She turned her head to glare at him, “No, you were the one who said to wait until the wedding festivities.”
He scooped her up and laid her down on the bed, pinning her beneath him as he intently gazed into her clear, water-like eyes, “Wife, do you really agree to marry me?”
She raised an eyebrow, “Didn’t I agree a long time ago?”
