Qinghe’s handsome face turned a faint shade of pink. Despite his wife’s casual and seemingly normal glance at him, his usually emotionless heart unexpectedly sped up its pace uncontrollably.
“Fourth Brother?” She called out softly.
His half-lowered eyelids looked at her with a mixture of timidity and confusion.
“Weren’t you about to say something earlier?” She was waiting to hear it.
“Fourth Brother just didn’t want me to call you ugly.” Xiao Yuchuan waved his hand dismissively, “What else can he say.”
‘Qingyue is not ugly.” He mustered up the courage and stared at her intently. “I think Qingyue is very beautiful.” Especially her eyes – clear, bright, sparkling, even more beautiful than the stars and moon in the sky.
Su Qingyue didn’t expect Fourth Brother to praise her like this in front of
Second Brother and Third Brother. “Fourth Brother is too kind. I think Fourth
Brother is more elegant and refined than Third Brother by countless times.”
“Wife…” Xiao Yuchuan was displeased. “How can Fourth Brother be better than me…” Hearing this made his teeth ache with anger.
“He’s better than you in every way.”
“I’m not discussing this issue with you anymore.” His tone unconsciously became heavier. “I was originally grateful to you, but in an instant, it turned into endless resentment. Wife, I hate you! If one day your husband dies of anger because of you, I will definitely make you join me in the funeral!”
“Oh.” She nodded. “Let’s wait until you die of anger then. With such a shameless and thick-skinned man like you, even if everyone else in the world dies from anger, you would still be standing with your thick skin.”
He showed a touched expression, “Wife, can I understand it as… you can’t bear to see your husband die?”
“Yes.” She figured it out. “Since everyone in the village thinks Third Brother is so handsome, perhaps the townspeople also think so. I’ve heard that there are some wealthy old men in town who specifically like handsome young men. Although you, Third Brother, are already twenty-two years old and have a rougher skin compared to the 16-17 year-old Fourth Brother, I believe with your handsome face, you would still get a good price.”
“Wife!” Xiao Yuchuan roared. “You want to sell me to become…
“Yes.” She nodded honestly. “Sell you to be an old man’s… you know what. If you die, I would have to buy a coffin to bury you, wasting my money. If you stay alive, your skin could be sold for some money and contribute to the family, so of course I can’t bear to let you die.”
Xiao Yuchuan’s face was contorted with anger. “Su Qingyue, I swear to never let you off the hook!”
Xiao Yishan’s thick black eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. He wasn’t angry about her selling Third Brother, but that she had picked up such perverse rumors while in town.
“Third Brother, honestly speaking…” Compared to Third Brother’s intensity, Qingyue remained calm. She gathered the bowl and chopsticks on the table and walked out the door.
“Wife…” He called out behind her. “What were you saying, honestly? You left before you finished your sentence, why did you leave?”
“She went to wash the dishes.” Xiao Qinghe kindly picked up the conversation.
Xiao Yuchuan rolled his eyes. “Fourth brother, do you think I am stupid? My wife obviously took the bowls into the kitchen to wash the dishes. I was saying, she leaves her words half-spoken, purposely making people uncomfortable.”
Qinghe thought to himself, this was precisely one of his wife’s nefarious qualities.
His wife was intentionally making Third Brother suffer.
Unfortunately, Third Brother, being the one involved, couldn’t see it.
He also didn’t want to help remind Third Brother. Because he found his wife’s wickedness… surprisingly endearing..
