If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been so stingy with food. It would have been better to cook more and let the woman on the bed benefit than to let his second brother starve.

As for Xiao Yuchuan, he knew his place. Since that woman didn’t treat him as her husband, he didn’t bother to treat her as his wife.

Annoyed, he grumbled, “Second brother, why are you so good to her? Just kick her, and let her drink the medicine. No matter how much you do, this ungrateful woman won’t be moved.” He rudely tried to pull her up.

Xiao Yishan sternly stopped him, “Let go, the wife is injured!”

“Second brother, are you crazy? Is it worth it for such a woman?” Xiao Yuchuan complained, but seeing that his second brother was angry, he didn’t push the issue. He respected his second brother a lot.

He then threw himself on the bed, casually grabbed a quilt, and went to sleep in a position far away from Su Qingyue. He didn’t care what his second brother did.

He also didn’t want to share a bed with that woman, but there were no other beds in the house, so he had to make do.

Xiao Yishan, holding a medicine bowl in one hand, gently patted Su Qingyue’s cheek with the other, “Dear, wake up, drink the medicine and then go back to sleep…”

But there was still no movement from Su Qingyue.

He had no choice but to scoop a spoonful of medicine and bring it to her mouth, only for her not to open her mouth, and the medicine juices dripped onto the pillow instead. He furrowed his thick eyebrows and stared at her lips with cold eyes, wondering how to feed her the medicine?

Xiao Yuchuan lay down and smelled a musty odor coming from Su Qingyue’s body. He wondered how long it had been since this woman had bathed? In his memory, she hadn’t bathed once since she arrived at his house a month ago. Besides, she was dirty and stinky when she came over from the Zhu family.

He had never seen a woman so unclean before.

He didn’t know what was wrong with her at Zhu’s house. When she came to his house, he knew her little tricks. She deliberately didn’t bathe, wanting to stink so much that they wouldn’t be interested in consummating the marriage.

He found her schemes disgusting.

Glancing at her acne-ridden face, it really turned him off.

It’s not that she didn’t want to consummate the marriage, even if she asked him to touch her, he wouldn’t want to. He sat up abruptly and said, “Second brother, let me make a suggestion. This woman stinks so much, I can’t sleep with her here. Let her go to Fourth Brother’s room and let Fourth Brother sleep here.”

Xiao Yishan looked at him unhappily, “As an adult man, can’t you bear it?”

“I… It’s not just because of her.” Xiao Yuchuan wanted to say something but stopped, “I want Fourth Brother to sleep here.”

Xiao Yishan was silent for a moment, understanding his third brother’s meaning. Fourth Brother’s leg would hurt on rainy days, and when it did, he would suffer in silence, not wanting to trouble them. Since Fourth Brother couldn’t get off the bed, they could take care of him if something happened at night. “You go ask Fourth Brother if he’s willing to change rooms to sleep.”

“Alright.” Yuchuan walked out and quickly returned from the next room, without even releasing a fart, before lying down and sleeping.

Without asking, Xiao Yishan knew that Fourth Brother had refused. There was a chamber pot in Fourth Brother’s room, and the smell of medicine was strong. With Fourth Brother’s mentality, he must not want to smoke them out.

Xiao Yishan wiped the medicine juices from the corner of Su Qingyue’s mouth with his sleeve. He couldn’t wake her up, but she needed to take the medicine. He thought about it and decided to drink a mouthful from the bowl and then try to feed her mouth to mouth.

As he got closer, her stench became more noticeable. It was a mix of sweat and the filthy smell of unkempt hair and skin.

He hesitated for a moment, but thinking of her clear eyes after she woke up from being beaten, he believed he could endure it.
