Chapter 1066: 1066 Chapter 1066: 1066 “Third brother…” she laid her head on his shoulder, “What a man looks like isn’t important.

You’re already among the best looking in the village.

I understand your thoughts, and I just want to say, in my heart, you are worthy of me.”

“My wife…” His chest filled with emotion.

She was willing to marry him, he knew she didn’t mind, but hearing her say it out loud still moved him profoundly, “In this life, I, Xiao Yuchuan, may let others down, but I will never let you suffer.

Leave the matter of Fourth Brother to me.”

Pain flashed in his eyes, yet his gaze remained firm, “If he truly starves himself to death, then let him be.”

She looked up at the determination in his eyes, “You’ve decided?”

“Yes.” He looked coldly through the slightly open door, where Xiao Qinghe lay on the bed covered by a quilt, appearing almost as if there was no rise and fall of his chest, as if he were already dead, “He chose his own path.

As his third brother, no matter how heartbroken I am, I will prepare a thin coffin for him.”

Su Qingyue’s lips curled into a faint smile, “I understand.”

Yesterday, she and third brother had taken turns to check Fourth Brother’s pulse, predicting that by this time, Fourth Brother would be nearing his last moments.

She walked into the room and stood by the bed.

She clearly saw Xiao Qinghe’s pale, bloodless handsome face; his lips were cracked from several days without a drop of water or a grain of rice, and his complexion, ghastly pale with a deathly pallor.

Xiao Yuchuan followed her into the room and took Qinghe’s pulse, pain flashed in his own eyes, “Fourth brother, it’s not that third brother won’t save you, but with my medical skill, I can only let you go.”

Su Qingyue also reached out to feel Xiao Qinghe’s pulse, “Exhaling more than inhaling.

Clinging to his last breath, he’s really about to die.”

Her eyes noticed a tear drop at the corner of his eye, “Oh, fourth brother is crying.

I wonder if you’re crying because you heard the heartless words from me and your third brother, disappointed in us to the extreme, or because you can’t bear to leave this world.”

As if already deceased, Xiao Qinghe of course did not respond.

Su Qingyue said, “That’s just how ruthless we are.

And I am even more heartless than your second and third brothers.” She took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box she’d kept on the table these past two days, lifted Xiao Qinghe’s quilt, and inserted the silver needles into several vital points around his body and in his head.

She then said to Xiao Yuchuan, “Third brother, go and cook some porridge, bring over a bowl of medicine.”

“Wife, I don’t want you feeding him…”

“Of course I’m not going to feed him.

You can.”

“But he won’t eat…”

She glanced at Xiao Qinghe’s pale face, “Fourth brother really has a knack for not dying unless he brings it upon himself.

Now that he’s about to die from his own doings, you still can’t threaten me.

Fourth brother, don’t think I really have no way of dealing with you.

I’m only addressing your refusal to eat now to see third brother’s attitude.

Second brother is kind-hearted and wants me to feed you; I’d prefer to follow third brother and let you die rather than intervene.

If he asked me to feed you, I’d just let you die.

Because I, Su Qingyue…

don’t give in to threats.

He can’t bear to see me wronged, and I don’t want to see him upset.”

Hearing his wife speak like this, Xiao Yuchuan said with a hint of surprise, “Wife, you have a way to make fourth brother eat without feeding him?”

“Yes.” She said with a touch of scorn, “Not only can I, but I can also make him crave food like a starving ghost, eager to eat constantly, to take the initiative to eat.”
