âYueâer wonât even let you call her wife, do you think sheâll let you touch her?â
Mentioning this made Xiao Yuchuan angry. His wife only let him call her
Qingyue, âShe didnât say you could call her wife either.â
âWe are family. It doesnât matter what we call each other for now.â Xiao Yishan said solemnly, âYour wife is just recovering from a serious injury. Do not force her at this time.â
Xiao Yuchuan thought about his wifeâs slender arms and legs, âShe is so thin and frail, I canât bear to⦠letâs wait a little longer then.â
After a while, the door to the main bedroom opened.
He went to the edge of the yard fence and poured it out.
Su Qingyue took off her only patched clothes and put on the menâs clothes that her second brother had given her.
She took her dirty clothes and walked to the yard, took the bathtub from Xiao Yuchuanâs hand, placed it on the ground, threw her dirty clothes and leftover soap pod into the bathtub, and started to wash her clothes in the night.
There was no other way. The menâs clothes were too long and large for her, and she rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs, which kept falling down. She kept tripping and almost fell several times. She still preferred her only set of coarse clothes, which she could wear as soon as she washed them.
It was a bit hot in May. If she handwashed her clothes, even without a high-tech washing machine to spin them dry, they would dry after being hung out overnight and aired the next morning.
Xiao Yuchuan moved a stool over, sat across from Su Qingyue, and took the initiative to pick up one of her clothes, âWife, let me wash, you rest.â
She glared at him holding her⦠bellyband, which was the equivalent of a modern bra. She snatched it from him, âIâll wash it myself. I told you not to call me wife!â
âI will.â
âBelieve it or not, Iâll pull out all your teeth?â
He reflexively covered his mouth and then bared his teeth in a smile, âYou canât bear to do that.â He picked up her outer shirt and said, âWife, I think youâre amazing. You can understand what others are saying just by watching their mouths, even though youâre deaf. Iâve never heard of it before. Youâre the first one.â
Su Qingyue understood his words, âDidnât you say I have sharp eyes?â
âAnd a sharp mouth.â
She rolled her eyes at him, âDoes your mouth ever stop cutting people down?â âIf I donât cut others down, Iâll just cut you down.â
âI must have owed you in my past life!â She ignored him, crouched down, lowered her head, skillfully crushed the soap pod with her left hand, and started to wash her clothes with one hand.
âIf you didnât owe me, we wouldnât have become husband and wife in this life.â Yuchuan couldnât help but smile, his mouth wide open. When he watched her, he was a bit surprised.
His second brother, who was beside them, was also astonished.
It was difficult to squeeze the juice out of a soap pod with just one hand. People usually used something to crush it. Yueâer seemed so weak, yet she could crush the pod so easily.
Suddenly, they felt⦠Yueâer might not be that simple.
âThird brother, since Yueâer doesnât want you to wash her clothes, Iâll do it instead.â Xiao Yishan came over.
âSecond brother, you always let me do things my way. Are you going to compete with me over something so trivial?â He soaked Qingyueâs coarse outer shirt, smeared it with soap pod juice, and started washing it.
Su Qingyue couldnât refuse him, so she washed her bellyband and trousers first, which were similar to modern womenâs underwear. The shape was like four-cornered underwear, but looser than the tight-fitting kind..
