Xiao Yishan pondered, âYueâer, how about waiting a few days, until Iâm better, and then Iâll take you and Fourth Brother to the town.â
Xiao Qingheâs thoughts became a bit complicated.
Since his legs became disabled, he hadnât stepped out of the house; he was even afraid of going out now.
Scared of being laughed at by others.
Itâs just that, with Second Brother hunting and selling, Third Brother selling goods, and the villagers often coming by to buy things, confronting their gazes had become routine.
But he didnât know what the people in the town thought.
His wife was too outstanding.
And he⦠liked her.
Even if he was disabled, he couldnât hide behind her.
Rarely his wife took the initiative to invite him, and he wanted to go to town with her. The meaning in Second Brotherâs words was that he was afraid his wife couldnât take care of him alone. He too felt worried and hesitated, âMaybe we should wait a little longerâ¦ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Qingyue noticed Fourth Brotherâs intentions and said, âItâs okay, letâs just go together today.â
âButâ¦â He was afraid of her getting tired.
âThereâs no need for buts.â Su Qingyue smiled and said, âAs a manly man, if you want, you want! Whatâs the big deal in going to town?â
Xiao Yishan originally wanted to object, but her words âAs a manly man, if you want, you want!â felt like an enlightenment.
Since he wanted Yueâer to be his woman, then now that she had things⦠missing, all he had to do was wait for her to return home tonight and consummate their marriage. There was no need to worry too much.
Su Qingyue reassured Xiao Yishan again, âSecond Brother, donât worry. Apart from getting on and off the cowâs car, thereâs really no trouble. These days, there are very few people going to town. Itâs not like Fourth Brotherâs wheelchair will take up too much space.â
He listened and nodded his head.
Since his wife spoke like that, Xiao Yuchuan in the room could only instruct, âWife, then do take care of yourself and Fourth Brother on the road.â
âOur village is quite peaceful.â She said, picking up a basket of fried pigâs large intestine, âSecond Brother, you push Fourth Brotherâs wheelchair.â
âAlright.â
At the village entrance, Wang Crippledâs cow wagon was waiting, and there was only one passenger: Zhou Fuquan. He couldnât help but sigh, âIt seems like I can only earn three cents for this tripâ¦â
Going to town was not close. Zhou Fuquan said, âGranpa Wang, or Iâll walk there. You donât have to go to town this timeâ¦â
âBusiness has been bad lately, and if there are clients, I canât refuse to go, or Iâll be drinking the northwest wind.â He said, âIâve been driving the cow wagon for so many years, and Iâve changed cows several times. I have to go if there is even just one client. Besides, maybe I can get a few more clients in town.â
âThatâs true.â
When Wang Crippled saw Su Qingyue carrying the pole, he smiled, âWife of the Xiao Family, are you going to town again?â
âYes.â She put the carrying pole on the cowâs wagon.
Wang Crippled was in a slightly better mood, âThatâs another three cents car fare.â
Zhou Fuquan greeted Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe when he saw them.
âMy Fourth Brother is also going to town.â Qingyue said, helping Xiao Qinghe onto the cowâs wagon.
âQinghe is going to town too.â Wang Crippled was surprised. A person with an inability to walk going wasnât that a burden? But his family didnât mind, and he had the car fare to collect, so he couldnât complain.
âYes.â She said, âFourth Brother and I are going to sell some goods together.â
Xiao Yishan, with his strong arm, lifted the wheelchair onto the cowâs wagon easily.
Wang Crippled was now in a difficult position, âDashan, if there were more customers, anyone who brought a large basket or something would have to pay an extra seat fee, unless they held it in their hands without charging extra. Today there are not many customers, but your family has placed a burden and an extra wheelchairâ¦â
