She took her small hand back, propping her chin with one hand, âDonât worry, Iâll find a rope to tie up Second Brother so he canât die even if he wants to. After all, men tend to come to their senses once they fail to die.â
The door to the master bedroom was open. The two men inside pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Fourth Brother and his wife outside. Xiao Yuchuan looked interested, while Xiao Yishan was so angry that he calmed down.
Su Qingyue raised her voice in the yard, âSecond Brother, I am going to see if anyone wants to buy your body. Wait for me.â
Then, she left the courtyard door.
Xiao Qinghe watched her receding figure from the window of the secondary bedroom. She looked delicate and elegant, so beautiful that he couldnât take his eyes off her. After a long while, he came back to his senses and remembered that his wife hadnât answered him directly. Would she or wouldnât she agree to sell Second Brotherâs body? Judging from her words, it seemed like she didnât agreeâ¦
On the bed in the master bedroom, Xiao Yishanâs heart was raised, âThird
Brother, do you think my wife would reallyâ¦â
Yuchuan also looked puzzled, âInitially, I thought my wife was joking, but she actually went out to find someone⦠Who knows?â
âI donât agree to sell myself!â He spoke firmly.
âDidnât you hear what my wife said? You canât resist. Second Brother, actually I think my wifeâs idea is very good. When the âguestâ comes later, I can ask my wife to carry me outside, so you can have a comfortable time alone in the room. Itâs just that I feel sorry for my wife. Her small body will be burdened by carrying me. â
âWhy donât you sell yourself?â
âSecond Brother, maybe youâre too heavy for my wife to carry, so she asked you to stay in the room.â
Xiao Yishan remained silent with a cold expression. He thought his wife wouldnât be so cruel, but she really left the house. Was she really just joking?
Leavingâ¦
Suddenly, Xiao Yishanâs expression turned serious. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xiao Yuchuan thought of the same question, âSecond Brother, do you think my wife⦠left us for good?â
âNo.â Yishan pondered for a moment. âThe silver on the wooden tray is still there. She doesnât have any money on her, where could she go?â
âMaybe my wife couldnât bear taking the money and left us aloneâ¦â The mere thought of his wife leaving made Xiao Yuchuanâs heart ache.
âIf she really left, it might be for the best.â Xiao Yishan closed his eyes, âYou and I both are down. We donât even have food for the next meal. Even if my wife stays, we canât continue living like this. If she leaves, at least, she can have a better lifeâ¦â
âA woman without the Xiao Family? How could she live? Didnât you see last time, she stole eight taels of silver and almost diedâ¦â
âThird Brother, you should know that our wife has changed. If she leaves now, life wonât be hard for herâ¦â
âI donât want my wife to leave!â
âIf she stays, sheâll only be dragged down by the Xiao Familyâ¦â
âSecond Brother, she just left, and I already miss my wifeâ¦â
Xiao Yishanâs expression was heavy and helpless. In fact, he also didnât want his wife to leave, and he already started missing her.
Su Qingyue went to the nearby mountain and the river in the south of the village for a little while. Having a high work efficiency, she brought back small bundles of tender willow branches, mulberry branches, and locust branches in a bit over half an hour.
These three trees were common, and collecting young branches was effortless. Besides, she saw Aunt Zhang and wanted to ask her where to find ginger and a stone mill.
As it happened, Aunt Zhangâs family grew lots of ginger and also had a stone mill. So, she bought five jin of ginger and used the stone mill to grind the washed ginger into ginger juice..
