Chapter 836: 836 Third brother is not a radish 2
She couldn’t put her mind at ease about him.
Previously, Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan had looked after him, but that was because the family had no women, and the brothers supported each other.
If the second brother and third brother were each to start their own families and the sister-in-law did not treat Qinghe well, how would he manage?
Whether out of sympathy, for the sake of Fourth Brother, or to reduce the burden on the second and third brothers, she chose Fourth Brother.
And then, she had to give him up reluctantly.
Su Qingyue knew in her heart that she and Xiao Qinghe were an impossibility.
...
As long as he had money, he should also be able to take good care of himself.
However confused the second brother and third brother might be, they surely wouldn’t let Qinghe be wronged.
She was now clear about her own feelings; she liked third brother.
Thus, she might end up with third brother, or she might leave the Xiao Family altogether.
She would take one step at a time and see how things unfolded.
Su Qingyue organized her thoughts and said to Xiao Yishan, “Second brother, the house I built for the Xiao Family and the fields I bought, I won’t take them back. Consider it repayment for your care over this time. I bought ten acres of paddy fields from the Gou family, plus the eighty-four acres and six-acre vegetable field I bought later, totaling one hundred acres, are registered under your name, and that of third and fourth brothers. Whether you divide the family or not, it’s already convenient enough divided; you can just keep it as registered under the property rights.”
Hearing her say this, Li Rong’er finally felt somewhat relieved. She counted and saw that there were twelve new houses in total for the Xiao Family, and with four rooms and thirty-three acres of fields going to Xiao Yishan’s share, he was somewhat of a small Landlord.
Although there was a huge gap from what they had before, he was still a decently wealthy household. By renting out the fields, he could live a good life for a lifetime.
She could barely accept it.
Xiao Yishan’s heart tightened at her indifferent expression, “Wife… Yue’er, what do you mean? The affection that third brother, fourth brother, and I have for you, can’t be measured with money.”
“The fields and houses together are worth more than a thousand taels,” Su Qingyue said, “To repay your kindness, even though you tore up my deed of sale, I’ll consider that I bought back my deed of sale. Just like Qian Zhangshi said, my life is valuable. Buying back my deed of sale is more than enough.”
Xiao Yishan’s expression was awkward, “Su Qingyue, I don’t want your fields! Nor do I want your house!”
Su Qingyue sneered and pointed at Li Rong’er, “Why don’t you ask her if she wants them?”
“This servant…” She bit her lip, “This servant has no say in the second young master’s affairs; it’s up to him to decide.” She dared not say she wanted them, lest Xiao Yishan kicked her out. Now that Xiao Yishan still had so much land, if they were to truly become the poor, destitute family they once were, she wouldn’t stay with him.
After all, she didn’t have a deed of sale with the Xiao Family, and as long as she wasn’t married, she might as well leave.
Of course, if she was to marry Xiao Yishan, it would be essential that he had at least over thirty acres of land in his possession.
When Xiao Yishan saw Li Rong’er’s reaction, he couldn’t help but feel moved. She didn’t urge him to keep the fields, which showed she wasn’t in it for his money.
Thinking of how his wife had embarrassed him in front of so many people and had even stabbed him with a knife before, she hadn’t even inquired about his injury at all. Xiao Yishan had completely lost hope in Su Qingyue and said coldly, “Su Qingyue, as for the matter of the fields and the houses, if you want to take them back, wait until my injury is better and I can find time to go to the government office for the ownership transfer.”

Su Qingyue was not surprised to hear him say that, “No need.” If the second brother felt that way, it was worth spending more than a thousand taels to redeem her own life.
