The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 542: 542 Fainted

Xiao Yuchuan scratched his head, “She did say that, but she recognizes everyone in the village. I thought she was joking and didn’t want to bring up her past… theft, so she said that on purpose.”

“You idiot!” Xiao Yishan was so angry that he wanted to hit Chuan.

Seeing his second brother’s annoyed reaction and analyzing what he had just said, he asked Su Qingyue, “Wife, don’t you… know that the second brother and Fourth Brother are also your husbands?”

“Mm.” She closed her eyes.

Thinking back to the unusual enthusiasm of her second brother and fourth brother towards her, at first, she thought they were not normal and had feelings for her as the only woman in the house.

Gradually, she sensed something was wrong.

Remembering when Aunt Zhang and Wang Crippled said that Fourth Brother was lucky…

She was suspicious.

Fourth Brother called her wife…

She could even confirm it.

But she forced herself not to think in that direction. She would rather pretend they didn’t decide who she would be a wife to when they bought her.

She would rather not think about it.

She deliberately avoided it. She didn’t want to know or confirm that she was… their wife.

Knowing the consequences were too heavy.

She couldn’t bear it, and she couldn’t accept it.

As a modern person, she could never accept three husbands.

In her mind, from past life to this life, she only ever wanted one husband and one wife.

How could she face it when the truth was revealed?

Choose one of them?

That would hurt the other two.

She wanted to keep avoiding it, but reality forced her to face it.

She closed her eyes again in discomfort.

Xiao Yuchuan looked at her with heartache, “Wife, did you faint because you were scared by the second brother and Fourth Brother? If such news can make you faint, are you really that useless…”

When Xiao Yishan heard his third brother say this, his brows furrowed tightly.

Xiao Qinghe’s face was full of worry. If his wife fainted because she knew he was her husband, he would rather she didn’t know.

She glared at Xiao Yuchuan, “What do you think? Am I that useless? I fainted because…” She touched her dizzy head, “The sun was too strong today, and I got a little heatstroke.”

Xiao Qinghe’s heart eased a little. As long as his wife did not faint due to anger caused by him and Second Brother, it was fine. “Wife… Qingyue, I’ll have Doctor Sun prescribe you a medicine to counteract the heat…”

“I’ll go…” Xiao Yishan got up.

“I said I’m fine,” she said indifferently. “It’s just a mild heatstroke. Medicines have side effects, and I don’t need them. Let me sleep for a while, and I’ll be fine when I wake up.”

“Okay, you sleep.” Xiao Yuchuan sat beside her, covering her with the quilt.

She lifted the quilt with one hand, “It’s too hot.”

Xiao Yishan sat on the edge of her bed, silent.

Xiao Qinghe went to the kitchen to get a basin of cold water. He wrung the towel half-dry, folded it into a rectangle, and placed it on Su Qingyue’s forehead, “Applying some cold water will make you feel better.”

Su Qingyue opened her eyes and looked at him before closing them again.

She was a little sleepy, and soon, she fell into a deep sleep.

The three men stayed by her side, not one of them leaving.

They didn’t even dare to breathe too heavily, afraid of disturbing her.

The sky gradually turned dark.

Xiao Yishan looked at the horses in the yard. As Fourth Brother’s leg was inconvenient and Third Brother felt weak, he pointed at the horses outside and then stood up, heading out of the courtyard.

Qinghe knew that Second Brother was going to feed the horses, so he reluctantly looked at his sleeping wife on the bed,
