When Xiao Yuchuan sold goods, he had seen other families with a lot of money in town, especially those merchants who did big business. They all had a lot of money that day. But he had never seen so much silver in his own family before.
As he stared at his wife counting the money over and over⦠she carefully counted it twice.
He had already said, âWife, no need to count anymore, there are still thirty taels and four hundred copper coins⦠I can see it all with my eyes.â
âHmm.â She nodded.
He rubbed his hands together, his thumb moving back and forth between his index and middle fingers.
This âwanting moneyâ gesture was really universal throughout ancient and modern times. Su Qingyue picked up a ten-tael silver ingot, and Xiao Yuchuan, not a greedy man, quickly said, âWife, thereâs no need for so much money to
hire a prostituteâ¦â
âRight.â
He looked âtouchedâ, âWife, youâre so good!â
She glanced at him, âHow am I good?â
âTo give money to your husband to have fun with prostitutes, you are truly unprecedented and unparalleled.â
She agreed, âThatâs what makes me, Su Qingyue, so special. Third brother, donât talk about ancient people. In my eyes, you are a totally red naked ancient person.â
âWhat do you mean a âred-naked ancient personâ?â
She kindly explained, âIt means someone who is undoubtedly and unquestionably an ancient person.â
He was not happy, âWife, your misuse of idioms doesnât fool me. Just because you learned a few characters with old Scholar Huang, donât bully me, an illiterate. I may not be able to read, but I know I havenât committed any crimeâ¦â
She raised her eyebrows, âThird brother, I didnât know you were so smart. Indeed, this idiom isnât appropriate.â
âAlso,â he pinched her face, âWife, your husband is not an ancient person.â Since she wasnât wearing medicine on her face now, he wasnât afraid to get his hand dirty by touching it.
âYouâre not ancient?â She rolled her eyes at him, he was at least a thousand years older than her. âThird brother, if youâre not an ancient person, are you a modern person?â
âWife, donât fool me.â He waved dismissively, âModern people are not people at allâ¦
ââ¦â She was indignant, determined to defend the honor of modern people, âHow are modern people not people? They are so advanced, soâ¦â
âYou are the one who said that modern people are legendary, so they are fictional.â He was very smart, âCan something fictional be called a person?â
ââ¦â She wanted to say that she was a time -traveler, that ancient people were not people, they were the bad ones!
âWife, you are still young and donât understand.â Xiao Yuchuan gave her a
lesson, âAncient people are just those who have died, and I am a living person of today. Do you understand?â
She nodded, feeling weak in front of third brother at times, wanting to give up, âI donât want to argue with you anymore, you rough and wild country bumpkin.
No knowledge, no culture, no character!â
âOh⦠Itâs as if youâre a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family in town.â Xiao Yuchuan didnât get angry, âI may be a rough and wild country bumpkin, but you are just a village girl. A country bumpkin and a village girl, we are a natural pair! Later, donât talk about your husband. When you criticize me, it only shows that your taste is very poorâ¦â
âIâve never met anyone with better taste than me!â Her tone was becoming furious. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, alright⦠you have good taste.â He was becoming a little afraid of her, âItâs late at night, donât get angry, donât shout⦠I havenât done anything to you yet, if you shout any louder, second brother and fourth brother in the master bedroom might think weâre doing something elseâ¦. â
