Chapter 1071: 1071 Chapter 1071: 1071 Of course, Xiao Yishan also brought prey for Yuchuan.

Yuchan didn’t want it, but since Yishan insisted, he accepted it.

In the evening, Xiao Yuchuan was frying vegetables in the kitchen, and Su Qingyue walked up behind him.

Seeing him busy in front of the stove, she felt a sense of simple, steadfast happiness.

He turned his head and flashed her a dashing smile.

“Is my dear admiring her handsome guy?”

She rolled her eyes.

“I’m looking to see how many strands of hair you’ve grown on your head.”

He said casually, “Three thousand of them.”

“More like it?” she said.

“Don’t play word games with me.

I’m not only educated, but all of your education comes from me.

The ‘three thousand locks’ refer to a woman; I think you’ve probably got five hundred more.”

He chuckled, “Then would my wife like to count them for me?”

“Put a few fleas on there, and then I’ll count for you.”

“But my head shares a pillow with you at night, and that might make fleas grow in your hairaEUR|”

“Hmph,” she was full of solutions.

“We can sleep in separate rooms.”

“Not even in the next lifeaEUR|,” he responded quickly.

She thought for a moment, then said, “Third brother, I want to talk to you about something serious.”

“Dear, it’s quite challenging for you to talk about serious things with someone who’s not serious.

Keep it simple, or else husband here might not understand, especially complicated things like titanium alloy dog eyes and cameras…

I’ve never even heard of them…”

“Easy,” she said.

“I just think we should dig a well in the yard.

It’s not very convenient to carry water from the village well every day.

Plus, with fourth brother’s disability, it’s troublesome for him to fetch water in case we’re not at home.”

The path to the village well had already been deliberately smoothed out by Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan earlier, using stones and hard mud to fill in the uneven parts.

However, the path could deteriorate a bit as many people, cows, carts, and the like went over it.

Fourth Brother seldom went out, but having his wheelchair wheels get stuck if he did need to go out was problematic.

“I’ve been thinking of having a well dug too,” Xiao Yuchuan nodded.

“Digging a well is going to cost about six or seven silver taels.”

“Small change.” She suddenly felt how great it was to have money, to be able to call a significant amount like six or seven silver taels “small change.” When she first came to this family, not to mention being poor, the Xiao family didn’t have a single copper coin and were even in debt; that was true poverty.

Fortunately, now they were well-off.

Xiao Yuchuan saw her acting both generous and a bit like a little fortune-lover, and found it incredibly endearing.

He couldn’t resist stealing a kiss on her face.

The next day, Xiao Yuchuan arranged for people to start digging a well in the yard.

Where to dig a well wasn’t arbitrary; it had to be done right above a source of underground water.

Fortunately, there was a suitable spot in the corner of the backyard allotted to Xiao Qinghe, and so the master well-digger began the work.

Ten days later, a well was dug in the backyard of Xiao’s house.

The well-digger then secured a circle of round stones around the well’s surface, tidied up his tools, received his wages from Xiao Yuchuan, and left.

Xiao Qinghe’s health had recovered, but his disabled legs remained senseless.

Sitting in his wheelchair in his room, Xiao Qinghe pushed open the window facing the backyard and saw Xiao Yuchuan standing by the well, fetching water.

He glanced over and said, “Fourth brother, now that we have a well at home, getting water will be convenient.”

Xiao Qinghe nodded slightly.

In fact, he had hoped they wouldn’t dig a well at home because with an easily accessible well, the third brother and his wife would feel more at ease about leaving him alone at home.

Without well water, they would always worry a bit more about his life.
