He grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth, âKissing time.â He pointed at his own face. âCome, wife, give me a kiss.â
She continued weaving the half-finished bamboo basket in her hands, âGo let the little bastard kiss you instead, itâll definitely be willing to lick your face.â
âNo way.â
Xiao Yishan tied the carriage to the beam in the firewood shed and glanced at his wife, who didnât look back at him.
These days, he tried hard to talk to her.
But it seemed like she had nothing to say to him.
He dared not pressure her like he had before.
Her deed of sale had been torn up, and she was now a free person. If she were pushed too far, he was really afraid she would leave the Xiao Family.
If she didnât want to stay, the Xiao Family had no reason to keep her anymore, right?
After drinking some water in the kitchen, Xiao Yuchuan wrung out a facecloth and walked into the yard. He opened the cloth and wiped Su Qingyueâs face, âLook at you, your face is covered in mud, and you donât even bother to clean it.â
Although complaining, his movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her delicate face.
Su Qingyue snorted coldly, âItâs all your fault.â
He chuckled, âWell, itâs because your little face is so pretty.â
âWhoâs pretty?â She glared at him coldly. âDonât you see the spots on my face?â
He stared closely at the spots on her face, âWife, the spots on your face look a bit odd, like theyâre floating and stuck on⦠â
As he spoke, he reached out to touch them.
She harshly slapped his hand away, âDonât touch it randomly. If it was really stuck on, wouldnât it come off when you help me wash my face?â
It was deliberate, the ancient charcoal makeup she applied was coated with a layer of her special medicine, making it hard to wipe off the spots.
She did it on purpose to hide her beauty.
With her current appearance, the second brother and third brother are already clinging to her. If they were to see her original stunning looks, wouldnât they cling to her for a lifetime?
She wouldnât pretend to be ugly for long.
Once the new house was built, the dried ferns and bayberry wine were sold, theyâd have more money. She would immediately find a few beautiful women for the second brother and third brother, not believing these two fools could resist the temptation.
Their current rundown house wasnât suitable.
There were only two rooms in the house, even an extra person would have nowhere to sleep.
As a killer, she was used to being alone, so she would definitely occupy the secondary bedroom, even if it meant sharing it with another woman.
Itâs not like she could tell the second and third brothers to âdo itâ in the cornfield after marrying their wives.
Xiao Yishan entered the master bedroom and saw the items in the cloth bag on the table, his eyes filling with gratitude, âWife!â
His cold yet emotional male voice came out from the bedroom.
Upon hearing the second brother call her, âWife,â Su Qingyue was at a loss whether to respond or not.
She had told him this several times before, scolding him coldly, even shouting hoarsely in anger.
Although his facial expression was stiff, he still persisted in calling her that.
This made her want to slap the third brother to death.
Why did she want to hit the third brother whenever the second brother called her wife? Because the second brother, who was such an honest man, must have been led astray by the thick-skinned Xiao Yuchuan.
Xiao Yuchuan also entered the master bedroom and saw the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as two books in the cloth bag on the table.
His bright pupils also filled with emotions. âWife is really too good.â He called out towards the kitchen, âFourth Brother, come and see!â
Xiao Qinghe had been busy in the kitchen all this time. Upon hearing the voice, he rolled over on the chair wheels and, when he saw the pen and paper on the table, his elegant eyes also filled with emotions.
