Chapter 532: 532 Qinghe’s Pain2

He nodded with difficulty and asked again, “Are you… really not leaving?”

She scoffed, “When did I ever say I was leaving?”

She reached out to wipe away his tear streaks with her sleeve, “Qinghe, although I am just your sister-in-law, I won’t abandon you. Your second and third brothers are actually in pretty good shape, and they will recover soon. As for you…”

She smiled slightly, “You were never a burden. Even if you were, you would be a sweet burden that I’m willing to bear. Understand?”

He stared at her in astonishment, forgetting to even be moved.

She said… that she was his sister-in-law?

Looking at her expression, it was clear she really thought of herself as his young uncle’s wife.

But…

At first, when they bought her from the Zhu family, wasn’t it clearly stated that she would be the wife of all three brothers?

For a moment, he wasn’t sure if she was only willing to be the third brother’s wife or if she truly didn’t know.

He had no idea that the soul in Su Qingyue’s body had been replaced.

So, he asked cautiously, “Qingyue, do you think you are the third brother’s wife?”

“Isn’t that so?” She retorted.

He said, “Yes. But not entirely.”

She was a modern person, and in her understanding, people practiced monogamy. She thought ancient people were very feudal and never considered the possibility of sharing a wife, “You guys haven’t decided yet who I should marry?”

“…” Xiao Qinghe fell silent.

“Do you know what a wife is?” She explained, “It means a husband’s woman.” She scratched her hair, “Have you guys finally decided? Your third brother keeps calling me his wife all day; isn’t that a settled matter? I hate ambiguous relationships the most. Sort it out!”

“It’s settled.” As they had decided when they first bought her, nothing had changed.

“Then I am your sister-in-law.” She patted his shoulder and looked righteous, “Qinghe, don’t worry, our family already has some money. When we have more money, I’ll find you a beautiful wife…”

He now knew for sure that his wife had misunderstood the situation. She had been thinking all along that she was only the third brother’s wife.

No wonder he thought she was acting strange, clearly not despising him, yet always in a hurry to distance herself from him. She cared about him so much, yet denied being his wife.

What’s more, his own wife even wanted to help him find another wife; he couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Xiao Qinghe wanted to explain everything to her, but…

He could see it.

It seemed she couldn’t accept having three husbands…

Actually, he also didn’t want her to belong to his second and third brothers either.

He looked at her with mixed emotions.

Opening his mouth to speak, he didn’t know where to start.

“Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t look so resentful.” She grumbled, “Acting as if I’ve done you wrong.”

She led him toward the market.

He was puzzled, “Qingyue, home is not in this direction…”

“Hehe.” She laughed, “I know, we’re going to the market, I plan to sell you.”

“…” He didn’t get angry, only said softly, “No one would buy a disabled, burdening person like me.”

She put on a stern face, “Don’t say such nonsense, you’re the best in my heart. I would buy you! Tell me, how much do you want? Name your price.”

“Really?” His eyes lit up.

She nodded, “In my heart, you’re better than both your second and third brothers.”

The second brother would get angry with her and use violence. The third brother would frequently anger her to the point of near-death.

Only the fourth brother,
