Liu Zhengâs wife was about to catch up when Wang Qigu shouted, âDonât you want the clothes your daughter washed?â
She went back to pick up the wooden basin and, without washing the rest of the clothes, left with a dark face.
Wang Qigu looked at Li Gui and said, âLi Gui⦠come to Aunt Wangâs house for dinner later.â It would be great if he could become her son-in-law.
âNo need,â Li Gui declined. âMy mom must have cooked dinner at home already.â
Wang Qigu didnât give up. âItâs still early before nightfall; would your mom cook dinner so early?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHey, Wang Qigu, canât you see that Li Gui doesnât want to go to your house for dinner? Heâs making excuses, and you just wonât quit.â Another household with a girl was also unhappy.
Li Gui didnât say a word to that comment, implying agreement.
Wang Qigu bit her lip and decided not to say anything more; she didnât want to look pushy like Liu Zhengâs wife, an idiot without a brain.
Su Qingyue ignored the villagersâ comments, continued to walk along the riverbank, and Xiao Yuchuan naturally followed his wifeâs footsteps.
Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, a few men chatted among themselves about Liu Xianglianâs well-proportioned figure, and how Liu Zhengâs wifeâs excess fat disgusted them. They gradually walked away while chatting.
Some wives and unmarried girls stayed, their gazes occasionally falling on Li Gui.
Li Gui was tall and handsome, with a famously good character. Even married women thought about saving him as an opportunity for their unmarried relatives.
Li Gui watched Su Qingyue walk away, a trace of loss in his eyes.
Other girls and wives were looking at him.
Yet, Su Qingyue only glanced at him, never lingering on him.
Further away, Xiao Yuchuan turned and saw that damn Li Gui staring at his wife again, which infuriated him!
âWife, when did you start flirting with Li Gui?â Xiao Yuchuan cursed without holding back.
Thankfully, they were far away from the clothes-washing spot, and there were no people nearby, so no one would hear them.
âWife, Iâm talking to you!â Xiao Yuchuan flared up. Seeing that she still hadnât reacted, he remembered that his wife couldnât hear him. ââ¦
Su Qingyue took a few turns and stopped at the spot where she had âjumped into the riverâ last time.
The river was neither wide nor narrow, with lush mountains on both sides, and clear flowing water. A breeze blew, creating ripples on the water and giving a refreshing feeling.
She stood quietly by the shore. Xiao Yuchuan looked at her slender figure, with the wind blowing her long hair, tied with only a cloth rope.
Even in menâs clothes, he still thought her figure was graceful and elegant, with an indescribable charm.
He suddenly thought his wife looked so beautiful, and his heart started pounding.
She turned around, looked at his infatuated eyes, and frowned.
Before she could speak, Xiao Yuchuan jumped in first, âWife, donât turn around!
You scared me!â
She looked innocent. âWhen did I scare you again?
âYou tell me, why does your figure look so good while your face has so many pus-filled sores!â
âWho am I supposed to ask? Pus, sores, pimples, you think I like having them?â She touched her face, got some pus on her hand, and smeared it on his face. âHere, take it. With the pus on you, Iâll become pretty.â
He didnât wipe it off in time, and his face got smeared. He quickly wiped off the pus from his face and said, âWife, do you want me to have pus too? You know your husband relies on his good-looking faceâ¦.â
