Little bastard followed behind her, its injury had healed, so she let it be.
The three men in the room saw her leave the courtyard, Xiao Yuchuan shouted, “Wife, where are you going?”
“Going to the river to take a bath,” she replied.
“No, wife!” he said worriedly, “What if someone sees you and you get exposed?”
“I won’t say, who knows. If you speak louder, everyone will know.” As she finished talking, she had already walked far away.
Xiao Yuchuan sat by the window, resting his hand on the bed, looking at her receding figure, his face turned bitter melon.
Similar worries filled Yishan and Qinghe’s eyes.
“Wife has a bold heart…” murmured Xiao Yuchuan, “A woman’s reputation is so important; have never heard of a woman daring to go to the river for a bath before…”
“As long as we don’t say anything, no one will know…” Xiao Qinghe said, “I believe she won’t let anyone see.”
Xiao Yuchuan thought about the time when his wife tried to ‘drown herself’ before, initially thinking she was jealous of Liu Xianglian and cared so much about him that she didn’t want to live anymore. When he asked her, she agreed, saying that she did it for him…
Now that he thought about it… his wife was clearly lying to him.
He could now be sure that his wife didn’t try to drown herself that time; she went to… take a bath.
The reason why he didn’t think so before was because who would think that a woman would go to the river to bathe.
Xiao Yishan thought about the same issue, and when he recalled how he once thought she couldn’t bear it and dragged her out of the water, he felt embarrassed. It turned out she wasn’t trying to drown herself… He thought she cared too much about his third brother, and everytime he thought about it, he felt heartache.
His heart slightly relaxed, he didn’t want his wife to care too much about other men, including… third brother.
Su Qingyue carried the wooden washbasin to a crossroad on the side of the village, just about to take a turn to the riverside path at the south of the village.
She saw two people coming out of the village ahead.
Her vision was better than most, and with the help of the moonlight, she recognized a middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties.
The Xiao family lived on the edge of the village with few households nearby.
It was probably eight or nine o’clock in the evening now, and these two were coming this way at this time.
Looking at the middle-aged man’s appearance, Su Qingyue thought he resembled Xiao Yuchuan’s mistress Liu Xianglian’s father – Liu Laoshi.
On the day when the second brother was bitten by a poisonous snake, she had beaten Liu Laoshi’s wife, Liu Zhengshi. She felt these two people had ill-intentions and came to the Xiao Family to cause trouble.
So, she decided not to go to the river to take a bath just yet and went back to the house instead.
“Eh, wife, didn’t you say you were going to the river for a bath?” Xiao Yuchuan saw her coming back from the window, “Why did you come back so soon? It’s good that you didn’t go. A new wife going to the river for a bath, what would that look like…”
While he was still mumbling, Su Qingyue put the washbasin into the kitchen.
When she came out, she saw that the middle-aged man and the young man had indeed entered the Xiao Family’s courtyard.
Xiao Yuchuan’s voice sounded, “Liu Laoshi, Liu Dayou, what are you doing coming to my house so late at night?”
Before Liu Laoshi could say anything, Liu Dayou spoke, “Our Liu Family and your Xiao Family, still have accounts to settle!”
“What account?” Xiao Yishan’s cold voice rang out.
Liu Dayou looked through the window into the Xiao’s master bedroom, seeing the three men sitting on the bed, and then saw the bamboo pieces on Xiao Yishan’s broken leg, his courage grew.
He was the son of Liu Laoshi’s elder brother, here to give his second Uncle support..
