Xiao Yuchuan cheerfully followed his wife on their way.

He didn’t ask her where they were going.

He just followed her anyway.

As they passed by a piece of land outside the village, Qian Youfa, who had previously been carrying a hoe to dig, saw them and shouted, “Oh, Chuan, did you find your deaf and mute wife?”

“My wife didn’t run away in the first place, and she even came out to find me.” Xiao Yuchuan happily replied.

Su Qingyue turned her head and glared at him. Yuchuan was puzzled, “Wife, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you glaring at me again?”

She looked away, feeling a bit powerless. This bastard, going around the village telling everyone she’s his wife, isn’t that wrong? It’s ridiculously wrong!

This village is very remote, and most people seem quite simple. She can’t go around explaining to everyone that she’s not his wife but just a guest in his house, can she?

Better still, in two days, when her ears can hear again, she’ll leave.

By then, she wont be here anymore, so it doesn’t matter what others say. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Besides, even if this petty cat didn’t say so, her reputation would have been foul anyhow for staying in a man’s house for so many days. No matter how loudly she proclaimed her innocence, no one would believe her even if she talked her mouth off.

“Wife, can you tell Qian Youfa that you’re not mute? Will you?” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t like others saying his wife was deaf and mute. Every man loves face.

“Humph.” She couldn’t be bothered with him.

“Wife, will you please speak up?” He walked up to her side, shoulder to shoulder with her.

She ignored him.

He tugged at her sleeve again, “Wife…”

Qian Youfa, resting with the hoe in his hand, couldn’t stand it anymore, “Hey… I say, Chuan, your wife is both deaf and mute; you know that, so don’t make things difficult for a deaf and mute person!”

“Yes,” Su Qingyue understood Qian Youfa’s lip movements, “This older brother is right. Chuan, don’t make things difficult for me, a deaf and mute person.”

Upon hearing her crisp and pleasant voice, Qian Youfa’s jaw almost dropped,

“Su Qingyue, were you just…speaking?”

She smiled slightly, “If you say so, then yes; if you say no, then no.” “But indeed!” Qian Youfa’s eyeballs were about to fall out, “So you’re not deaf and mute…”upd?t? ?t ?ew?o?e? .o?g

She initially wanted to say she was only deaf, not mute, but considering she wouldn’t be deaf in two days, she decided not to explain, “Cured, right?”

“Ah? Cured?” Qian Youfa awkwardly laughed, “Sorry about that, I thought you were still a deaf and mute person…”

“It’s okay.” She shrugged, “I’m not the petty type. I won’t hold it against you.”

As they continued walking forward, Xiao Yuchuan proceeded happily with a smiling face.

Qian Youfa watched their retreating backs, “Not only has Xiao’s wife’s deafness and muteness been cured, but her skin seems to have become a little lighter, no longer so dark…”

On the riverside path, there were good fields and farmland on one side and a river on the other.

The river water was clear and flowing; by the riverbank, there were many willow trees. The riverbank road was not the modern concrete or slate kind but was covered with dirt and weeds. Since the road was frequently used, the weeds on both sides of the road were squashed, and the middle of the road was covered with smooth, hard mud.

There was a short stretch on the riverbank with a stone bank, the stones polished smooth. Several women were washing clothes on the bank.

Among them were Zhou Fuquan’s wife, Wang Cuihua, and Liu Xianglian.

It had been more than ten days, but Su Qingyue recognized that she had seen the two women washing clothes here last time as well..
