After hearing that, the villagers laughed and shook their heads. The Zhu Family really had no fortune. Four hundred taels of silver would be enough to live worry-free for a lifetime.
âDashan, your family must be really lucky.â Li Wangcai, who also came to join the fun, said, âTo buy a wife and have her make so much money for your family; your wife is incredible.â He didnât dare to mention that she had scammed him for money as well since he had also scammed Zhu Nengwen.
âIsnât it?â Everyone chimed in, saying that Su Qingyue was capable of earning money, but she was just a bit ugly-looking.
Ding Er, who wasnât very serious, glanced at Su Qingyue entering the kitchen: âSo, who do you think is the favorite man of the wife of the Xiao Family?.â
âNo need to say, it must be Chuan.â Li Wangcai laughed, âIn the Xiao Family, only Chuanâs mouth is the most eloquent, and heâs handsome.â
âWell, not entirely â¦â Ding Er looked at Xiao Qingheâs wheelchair, âThe wife of the Xiao Family bought such an expensive wheelchair for Qinghe; sheâs obviously biased â¦â
âI think she likes Chuan â¦â
âChuan is much older than Su Qingyue, seven years older! Qinghe is younger, so itâs likely she prefers someone her age like Qinghe â¦â
âBased on what youâre saying, Second Brother Xiao is ⦠ten years older than Su Qingyue⦠Doesnât that mean Su Qingyueâ¦.â Someone was about to say that.
Ding Er whispered, âLet me tell you, Dashan hasnât even âtouchedâ his wife yet â¦â
âNo wayâ¦â The villagers who were listening with their ears perked up were all astonished. Someone else said, âCould it be that thereâs something wrong with Dashanâ¦? He looks as strong as a mountain but might be incapable in that regard â¦â
âNo, itâs said that Su Qingyue canât stand him because he ruined her appearance â¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
They were all chattering.
Xiao Qinghe frowned.
Xiao Yishanâs face turned dark when he heard them, and he shouted, âAll of you, shut up!â
The yard was full of noises.
After Su Qingyue entered the kitchen, she closed the door. She had sweat all over her body, so she decided to wipe herself down with a basin of water. With the door closed, she didnât hear what the people in the yard were saying.
She wiped her body with a wet cloth, and it felt much cooler.
As soon as she opened the kitchen door, she heard Second Brotherâs angry roar.
âWhat happened?â She asked aloud.
The villagers didnât dare to say that she despised Xiao Yishan in front of her, so they didnât want to offend anyone and didnât say anything. The excitement was enough, and many people left one after another.
Xiao Yishan drove them away, âAll of you, get out!â
Seeing Xiao Yishanâs fierce and ferocious demeanor, the rest of them left with dissatisfaction on their faces.
Zhu Nengwen, who left last, glanced at Su Qingyue resentfully and left the Xiao Familyâs courtyard.
Now that the outsiders were gone, the atmosphere in the yard was a bit tense.
Su Qingyue asked again, âWhat happened?â
Xiao Yuchuan changed the subject, âWife, did you and Fourth Brother have lunch yet?â
âYes, we did.â She nodded. They had eaten steamed buns in town.
Xiao Qinghe picked up two empty bamboo baskets from the horse-drawn cart and said, âIâll take them to the storage room.â Holding the ropes of the two baskets in one hand and steering the wheelchair with the other, he went to the storage room.
No one spoke up, and Su Qingyue wasnât a curious person either. She poured out the water sheâd used to wipe her body and went back into the kitchen.
As soon as she put down the washbasin, Xiao Yishanâs tall figure followed her in, pressing her against the door panel with a forceful embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her tender lips.
Her eyes widened, âUh ⦠Second Brother, what ⦠what are you doing â¦â
She tried to push him away, but he held her tightly.
