Chuanâs bath stink made him nauseous all night.
The more Li Cai thought about it, the darker his face became.
Xiao Yuchuan was delighted and smiled proudly at the crowd, âDidnât you say my wife ran away? Look, my wife is here safe and sound!â
Li Cai sneered, âShe didnât run away, but sheâs deaf and mute, a burden and a handicap for life!â
Everyoneâs sympathetic gaze fell on Su Qingyue, with many looking at her with disdain.
âYou son of aâ¦â Before Xiao Yuchuan could get angry, Su Qingyue read Li Caiâs lips and realized the news of her being deaf and mute had spread through the village so quickly. She coldly said, âTo not be a burden, Iâd better not be deaf and mute.â
Her voice was soft, sweet, and as beautiful as a heavenly sound.
The gentle tone was like a cool breeze refreshing to the heart.
Everyone fell silentâ¦
Wang Adou dug his ears, âWho just spoke?â
Aunt Zhang pointed at Su Qingyue, âIt was Su Qingyue, I saw her talking.â
Everyone looked at her unbelievably, like theyâd seen a ghost, âHow can she talk? Her voice is as nice as an oriole singing in the valleyâ¦â âIâve lived most of my life but never heard such a sweet voice from a womanâ¦â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWow, itâs so beautiful, I want to hear her talk moreâ¦â
The crowd chatted back and forth.
Li Cai stared at Su Qingyue incredulously, âArenât you deaf and mute? How can you talk?â
She shrugged, âI donât know. When your mouth cheapened, I just wanted to talk.â
Listening to her, everyone paused for a moment and then burst into laughter.
Aunt Zhang joked, âLi Cai, your mouth is really something. You managed to make the deaf and mute hear and talkâ¦you really have this skillâ¦â âA big man, picking on a woman like that, shame on you, youâre so pettyâ¦â
âThatâs right, if she were truly deaf and mute, she would be heartbrokenâ¦you just hit yourself in the faceâ¦â
Embarrassed by everyoneâs comments, Li Caiâs face turned red. He didnât carry any more water and walked back with an empty bucket.
Xiao Yuchuan didnât explain that his wife actually couldnât hear and just read lips. He walked up to Su Qingyue cheerfully, âHow did you get here? How did
you know I was here?â
âAfter I left the house, I âsawâ several people say you were looking for me and that you were here, so I came.â
Hearing her mention the word âhouseâ, Yuchuan felt a surge of happiness in his heart, âWife, youâre so good to me!â
âI told you not to call me wife!â She frowned and walked towards the river outside the village.
Xiao Yuchuan followed her figure, chanting like a fool, âWife, wife, wife!â
Some of the crowd listening to their conversation wondered, âSu Qingyue really isnât deaf and mute⦠Could it be true that being scolded by Li Cai can cure deafness and muteness?â
âNo way. Wife of the Xiao Family was just playing Li Cai. If being scolded could really cure someone, there wouldnât be any deaf or mute people left in the worldâ¦â
âDidnât Dashan and Chuan take their wife to town for treatment yesterday? Doctor Sun from the village couldnât cure her, maybe some highly skilled doctor in town didâ¦â
Everyone was discussing animatedly, most saying, âThe wife of the Xiao Family is no longer deaf and mute, and the seventeen taels paid by old lady Liu were worth it⦠Such a beautiful voice is wasted on an ugly faceâ¦.â
