“Doctor, my wife is young, and the road from our village to the town is long. She’s really tired and has fallen asleep. Please be understanding,” Xiao Yishan explained in a low voice.
Su Qingyue didn’t understand what the two were talking about, just that the doctor seemed to be impatient, and her wrist was held by her second brother.
The doctor took her pulse.
Su Qingyue stared at the doctor, seeing him as if to say she had congestion in her brain, and acupuncture might make her blind… The shaking of his head indicated that he couldn’t cure her deafness.
The Xiao Family’s brothers’ expressions were quite solemn. Doctor Chen Yu of Baohe Hall was the most famous doctor in town. It was said that he had even served as an imperial doctor in the past. The fact that he couldn’t cure his wife’s deafness meant there was truly no hope.
Xiao Yishan reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Su Qingyue’s ear,
“Don’t worry, even if you cannot be cured, and you remain deaf and mute for a lifetime, I won’t dislike you.”
She was initially uncomfortable with his affectionate gesture, but when she saw the words he said, her movement to pull his hand away stiffened.
In her previous life, she was extremely beautiful. Her husband adored beauties, always praising her appearance. She knew that if it was in her previous life, with her current ugly, pustule-covered face, even if she wasn’t deaf and mute, that man would never give her a glance.
What did her second brother say?
He actually said he wouldn’t dislike her for a lifetime.
A hint of tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.
“And me.” Xiao Yuchuan pulled his wife up, knowing that she couldn’t hear, and said to her face, “I won’t dislike you either, not for a single day in my life.”
Uh…
No way.
How could this be?
It’s really nice that one man doesn’t dislike her, but two men not disliking her is just too many!
Su Qingyue suddenly felt choked with emotion.
“Let’s go.” Xiao Yuchuan pulled her to leave.
Su Qingyue didn’t move. She looked at the medicine box on the old doctor’s table. The box was open, with various bottles and jars inside, and a set of silver acupuncture needles wrapped in cloth.
She pulled back her hand from Yuchuan’s grip, tugged on Xiao Yishan’s sleeve, and pointed at the silver needles.
“You want that?” Xiao Yishan thought he might have misunderstood.
She nodded. Earlier at her second brother’s home, when the village doctor had examined her, she had wanted to borrow some silver needles. The village doctor’s spouse was really difficult to deal with, and she needed to borrow them for more than an instant, several days in fact. Borrowing them from the village doctor would probably end up costing money, more than just buying them outright.
So she decided to wait for her second brother to buy a set. With professional silver needles, she could perform acupuncture on herself to clear the congestion.
“Wife, what do you want the silver needles for?” Xiao Yuchuan asked somewhat sadly. His wife actually pulled her hand back and wanted silver needles. Why didn’t she just tell him and went to her second brother instead?
As for Xiao Yishan, he didn’t ask any questions and went straight to the doctor,
“Could you sell me your silver needles?”
Old Doctor Chen Yu looked over, “What do you want to use the special acupuncture silver needles for?” He glanced at Su Qingyue, not missing her actions just now, “This girl wants them? Humph, do you even know medical skills? I won’t sell you my silver needles.”
They couldn’t force someone to sell something they didn’t want to sell! Xiao
Yishan’s expression stiffened a bit. Feeling somewhat apologetic, he asked
Qingyue, “Can we buy a set of silver needles from another place?”
She nodded. As long as they were silver needles, they would be fine.
Just before the three left the pharmacy, Su Qingyue saw her second brother pay ten copper coins at the counter..
