Xiao Yuchuan moved his lips, swallowed the words he was about to say, “Yes, Fuquan, rest assured, I have enough money.”
“That’s good.” Zhou Fuquan didn’t doubt, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then left with Wang Cuihua.
Once they left, Xiao Yuchuan’s face dropped, “Wife, where did I get a tael of silver as private money? Why don’t I know?”
“Magically.”
He mumbled, “If I could really produce it magically, that would be great…”
Xiao Yishan also said, “Yue’er’s approach is right; we can’t let the Fuquan’s couple be embarrassed any further.”
Xiao Yuchuan sighed, “My wife, it’s hard to earn a tael of silver.” He looked at her with bright eyes, “You’re already quite capable, even though you sold my load of goods at a cheap price, the actual cost is not more than one tael, and you sold it so quickly, making more than 200 copper coins. It’s all my fault for having such a broken body that’s falling apart, getting sick at this time. Otherwise…”
She was puzzled, “Can you really make a tael in one day?”
“Yes.” He nodded, “I heard there is a rich young master who came to town recently, staying at the Yuelai Inn. He likes to beat people up as human sandbags. Whoever serves as his punching bag, getting beaten to half-death, he rewards several taels of silver.”
Su Qingyue frowned, “Wouldn’t that just become medical expenses?” “At least it would solve the pressing matter. If I could still walk to the town, I would go and get beaten.”
She nodded, “Alright, I’ll carry you to the town.”
He had a sullen face, “My wife, are you really willing to let me get beaten to death? From what I heard, that young master has heavy fists and has killed people before.” On one hand, he was willing to be beaten; on the other hand, his wife wasn’t sympathetic.
She retorted, “It was your idea; why should I hesitate?”
“It wouldn’t matter if I were beaten to death. But I can’t bear the thought of you carrying me so far; I’m afraid you would be exhausted to death before we even
got to town.”
She nodded in agreement. Glancing at the silent second brother, Su Qingyue couldn’t help teasing him, “Second brother, can we sell hair for money?”
“Yes. I heard sometimes people in the town buy long hair, said to be used by some theater troupes as beards.” Xiao Yishan fell silent for a moment, his deep male voice filled with distress, “Yue’er, don’t sell your hair; second brother would rather live in a mountain cave.”
Xiao Yuchuan also nodded, “Wife, second brother is right. Although your hair isn’t silky smooth, it was given to you by your parents, so you must never sell it.”
Su Qingyue rolled her eyes, “When did I ever say I wanted to sell my hair? You guys have a beautiful imagination. My plan is to sell the hair of second brother, third brother, fourth brother, all three of you. To get more money, I’m going to shave all your heads. What do you think?”
As she said these words, she deliberately moved to the door, making sure that Xiao Qinghe, who was in the secondary bedroom, heard her clearly too.
The three men were silent for a moment, either imagining themselves or their brothers with shaved heads, they couldn’t help but smirk a little.
“Wife, a person’s hair can only fetch 100 cents at most,” Xiao Yuchuan eyed her hair, “If I shave your head too, we can get an extra 100 cents. For the sake of this family, we’re all going all out. Wife, rest assured, even if you don’t have a single hair left on your head, I won’t dislike you.”
Su Qingyue took out the scissors she used to cut Xiao Yuchuan’s clothes, “Third brother, stretch your head over here, since you have no hair on top, we’ll start with you.”
