âThere are so many trees on the mountain that even if you hide behind one, youâll be out of sight.â
âWho would go to Hanging Neck Mountain on a rainy day⦠â
âYou.â She rolled her eyes at him directly, âWell, it was you, the big dumbass, that went.â
Xiao Yuchuan was really puzzled, âWife, what does âbig dumbassâ mean?â
âIt meansâ¦how come you donât understand anything!â Ancient people are ancient people, they are not in the same realm as her, a modern person!
As a modern person, her sense of superiority rekindled.
âItâs your words that are strange, making people unable to understandâ¦â He complained as well.
âWell, thatâs the difference.â A thousand-year difference.
âI donât like it when you only say half of somethingâ¦â he mumbled, âDumb⦠âdumbâ is not a nice-sounding wordâ¦Wife, you wouldnât be calling your husband dumb, would you?â
She looked at the second brother and the fourth brother, who were also puzzled. It wasnât appropriate for her to criticize them in front of others, right? So she said, âI am so good, why would I criticize you? The word âdumbâ does mean dumb, but when you add a âassâ, it becomes an antonym. It then means smart.â
Yuchuan was an enlightened baby, âI understand now, âbig dumbassâ means
âvery smartâ!â
âThe youngster learns well.â She generously praised.
âWife, youâre really a big dumbass!â He immediately grinned, showing a row of clean white teeth, and praised her heartily.
Her facial expression froze, âUhâ¦l am notâ¦â
âYou are.â He looked proud, âMy wife is so smart, how could she not be a dumbass? Second brother, Fourth brother, you agree, donât you?â
Xiao Yishan also thought his wife was smart and agreed, âYueâer, donât be modest, youâre just a dumbass.â
âYes.â Xiao Qinghe also looked admiring, âQingyue, if someone like you is not a
dumbass, then thereâs no such thing as a dumbass in this world.â He thought his wife was the smartest woman he had ever seen.
âDo you guys have to learn so fast?â Su Qingyue was bitter but couldnât say it. She felt like she had moved a rock and had her own foot pinned down by it.
âYour husband is smart, isnât he?â Xiao Yuchuan smiled happily. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHe is smart.â So smart she wanted to pull his teeth out in frustration!
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe also wanted their wife to praise them, but since Yuchuan had spoken first, they didnât say anything.
Su Qingyue forced a smile and glared at the three men, âHmph! You three are indeed big dumbasses. Thereâs no need to praise me anymore. Iâm very humble!â
She walked towards the outside of the courtyard with the empty basket.
âWifeâ¦we just praised you for being a dumbass, and youâre still going toâ¦â Xiao Yuchuan called out from behind.
âIâm going to catch a ghost on the mountain right now! Otherwise, Iâm going to start tearing the house apart!â She yelled back, âAll of you stay at home! Iâll be fine! Iâm more terrifying than a ghost!â
The three men wanted to say something else, but they knew their wife wasnât afraid of ghosts and had a very bad temper.
So they anxiously waited at home.
Fortunately, Su Qingyue was able to pick two taels of bayberries in the morning without any problems.
The three men breathed a slight sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, Qingyue picked another two baskets of bayberries without any problem.
The next day, early in the morning, Su Qingyue stood under the bayberry tree, looking at the remaining fruits on the tree, which she could probably pick for the last time.
However, these fruits were near the top of the tree, making them difficult to pick while climbing. So, she went to the side and picked up a two-finger-thick long tree bark..
