The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 489: 489 Dizzy kisses

She froze, suddenly standing up.

He lost his balance, and his whole body fell to the side, making his head dizzy.

He couldn’t tell if it was the fall that made his head dizzy, or…

Although he had only grazed his wife’s lips just now, her lips were so soft, smooth, and tender that their touch was indescribably good, making him itch with desire.

Just thinking about the feeling from earlier, his whole being felt giddy.

“Ouch…” he cried out on purpose, “Wife, help me get up…”

Su Qingyue moved her stool aside and continued washing expressionlessly.

Xiao Yuchuan saw her stern face, knew she was unhappy, and struggled to sit back down on the stool. Trying to please her, he said, “Wife, you can’t be so petty that you’re angry over such a little kiss, right?”

“Is that what you call a kiss?” she snorted, “That was just accidental skin contact.”

“Fine. Whatever wife says it is, it is.” He blinked his pitch-black, shining eyes at her, “Let’s have another ‘accidental skin contact’?”

“Dream on.” she said seriously, “Get to work.”

“Wife, talk to me while we work. It’s more interesting that way, and it won’t distract us. You know what they say: when a man and a woman work together, it’s not tiring…”

What the hell! She rolled her eyes at him, “Xiao Yuchuan, your mouth is so good at talking…” In modern times, he might have been a crosstalk actor.

“Not only good at talking, but also good at kissing.” He pouted his lips toward her, saying unclearly, “Wife, pucker your lips and give me a kiss…”

Su Qingyue didn’t know what to do with him. She looked forward and saw Xiao Qinghe, sitting in a wheelchair, turning the chair wheels, and coming over by himself.

She couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion in her heart. At least Fourth Brother could “move” on his own now, without relying on others.

She must have just asked Second Brother to help carry his wheelchair out from his room to the yard.

She smiled and said, “Fourth Brother, look how much Third Brother ‘welcomes’ you. As soon as he saw you coming, he immediately puckered his lips to greet you!”

Xiao Qinghe’s handsome face showed a touch of shyness, “Third Brother, there’s no need to be so…enthusiastic with family.”

Xiao Yuchuan immediately put on a very serious face, “That… Fourth Brother, my enthusiasm is for my wife, don’t think too much.”

“Oh.” Xiao Qinghe nodded slightly, knowing that Third Brother wasn’t that weird. He drove his wheelchair to the side of the large foot basin, reached out his paler-than-usual hand into the big basket, and picked up some pig offal to help with the work.

Xiao Yishan, who had left earlier, returned, and suddenly three people were crowded around the large foot basin.

Though the offal smelled bad, there was an indescribable warmth in the family washing the pig offal together.

There is strength in numbers at home.

Su Qingyue stood up, “We don’t need so many people washing pig intestines. I’m going to fetch water…”

“Yue’er, let me do it.” Xiao Yishan stood up.

“But… you can only carry one bucket of water at a time because of your leg injury, making it inconvenient to use the carrying pole.”

“It doesn’t matter. Even one bucket of water is heavy. From now on, I’ll do all the heavy work in the family.” Xiao Yishan said, and went to fetch a wooden bucket from the front yard to carry water.

“Once I recover, I’ll take care of the heavy work at home, too.” Xiao Yuchuan also said.

“You guys wash. I’ll go make bone soup. If we work together, it’ll be faster.” She filled the washbasin with the pig bones, washed them, and carried them into the kitchen.

The stove fire was lit and boiled a pot of hot water. She left five raw big bones and put the rest in the water to cook. After they were cooked, the pot was filled with the steaming aroma of bone soup.
