The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1069 - Chapter 1069 1069 Qinghe's character

Chapter 1069: 1069 Qinghe’s character Chapter 1069: 1069 Qinghe’s character Qinghe’s heart fluttered with a trace of emotion when he thought of the words he and his wife had said in the yard this morning, that they would let him starve to death without intervening.

That rising flicker of emotion was once again suppressed by a cold greyness.

After finishing the medicine, Xiao Yuchuan put the medicine bowl on the table, “I’ll go warm up the porridge for youaEUR|”

“No need to trouble yourself, cold is fine,” Qinghe declined with a shake of his head.

Xiao Yuchuan, feeling a pang of heartache for his Fourth Brother, still went to the kitchen, warmed the porridge over the stove, and brought it back to the room.

Outside in the yard, Su Qingyue saw Third Brother carrying the warmed porridge and felt wise in her approach.

She couldn’t let Fourth Brother die.

Otherwise, Third Brother would certainly be guilt-stricken for a lifetime.

Through the slightly ajar door, she saw Third Brother attentively feeding Fourth Brother the porridge, occasionally blowing to cool it down.

The brothers’ affection and respect painted such a heartwarming scene.

If only Fourth Brother were not so stubborn, he, along with Third Brother and Su Qingyue herself, could all get along well.

Thinking back to the pastaEUR|

To Qinghe’s various actionsaEUR|

When she was covered in pus sores, at her ugliest and most unattractive, both other men of the Xiao Family wouldn’t let her go, except Qinghe, who gave her all of his private money to leave.

Despite being paralyzed and potentially never able to earn money again in his life, he still gave her the savings he had painstakingly gathered before his paralysis.

Such a heavy kindness.

Though it was only a little, every time she remembered this gesture, it touched her deeply.

After earning several hundred taels of silver in the town, Qinghe’s first thought was for her to lead a better life, even believing she had truly left, he cried like a child on the busy streets of the town, shedding tears like rain.

He blushed easily, a few teases would turn his ears red all the way to his neckaEUR|

He was not selfish, hiding his inferiority feelings deep in his heart, and after becoming paralyzed, he never complained to his elder brothers, silently bearing the transition from a healthy youth to a paralyzed guy who could never get off the bed.

For years, he never added to his two elder brothers’ emotional burdens, despite always lying on the bed in times when the Xiao Family couldn’t even afford a wheelchair.

Perhaps, if Su Qingyue had not appeared, Qinghe would have continued to be so understanding.

He could have kept his inferiority buried deep inside, silently allowing only his best side to show to his elder brothers.

But her arrival brought him concerns, made him feel he had to be a match for a woman.

The anguish he couldn’t bear, the anxiety about not being good enoughaEUR|

It might be the same for anyone else, wouldn’t it?

Watching him obediently finish the porridge.

As long as he is not hysterically longing for death as he has been these past days…

She really sees him as a pitiable young man.

Remembering his goodness, even his recent frantic behavior seemed forgivable.

While Su Qingyue’s face was still smeared with medicine and had not yet regained its beauty, Tao Meijiao, such a great beauty and a young Miss from a good family, pursued him so fervently.

Yet he remained unmoved.

Logically speaking, even though she had made some money, her current financial situation was much less than that of the Tao Family, and at that time, he believed she wasn’t as beautiful as Tao Meijiao.

To put it bluntly, anyone with eyes would choose Tao Meijiao.

Other villagers envied his good fortune, saying a woman like Meijiao looking favorably upon him was a blessing that couldn’t be earned in several lifetimes.

She watched him go from initially being indifferent towards Meijiao to gradually distancing himself with irritation.
