Speaking of which, she paused and said, âShe probably feels embarrassed to come, and initially wanted to buy a pot of toothpaste from Ding Erâs wife. Ding Erâs wife asked her to pay two more copper coins, but that stingy ghost Qian Zhang wasnât willing. Qian Zhang has a loose-lipped, mean and sour personality, offending many people. When she wants to buy things from others, they always raise the price, and she doesnât want to pay a penny more. Her family had a dispute with yours, but I guess she would still come, thick-skinned, to buy it.â
âThank you, Aunt Zhang, I understand.â Su Qingyue got her another chair. âAunt, why donât you sit down for a while? I should start preparing lunch nowâ¦â
She hurriedly waved her hand, âI also need to go home and cook lunch, so Iâm leaving first.â
âTake care.â Su Qingyue walked into the kitchen, took out a basin of flat beans, and placed a waste basket and her own vegetable basket on the side. She picked up the beans from the basin, pinched off the hard stems at both ends, threw the unwanted stems into the waste basket, and put the picked beans into the vegetable basket.
Xiao Qinghe let go of the bamboo basket in his hand, turned his wheelchair beside her, and wanted to help her fold the flat beans. Leaning over to pick up the beans from the basin, Qingyue also bent down, and their heads bumped into each other.
âOuchâ¦â Su Qingyue exclaimed softly.
Xiao Qinghe immediately stretched out his hand to rub her forehead, âDid it hurt?â
As she looked up, she could see the concern in his face, the handsome white complexion, clear and elegant eyes, faint-colored lips seemingly inviting a bite, and she was momentarily stunned.
Qinghe likewise looked at her close-up face. Although her skin was dull and there were many spots on her face, these were completely ignored in his eyes. He looked at her bright and watery, vibrant eyes and her cherry lips as red as pink paint, his heart thumping rapidly, involuntarily moving closer and closer to herâ¦
Just as he was about to kiss her lips, Qian Zhang walked in from outside the courtyard, âYo, during daytime, Wife of the Xiao Family, are you getting on well with your husband?â
The two people were shocked and quickly separated, Xiao Qingheâs handsome white face blushing shyly.
But Su Qingyue was indifferent, âMy relationship with my husband is none of your business. Who says you canât get on well during the day?â
When Qinghe heard her say this, he was embarrassed and blushed all over his body.
Itâs not like they are doing anything immoral, they are a legitimate couple. Qian Zhang couldnât say anything, âSu Qingyue, I heard your family has more medicinal mud toothpaste for sale?â
Su Qingyue pointed to the pot next to the chair, âItâs right there.â
Qian Zhang glanced at it and spontaneously walked over to pick up the pot, but Qingyue stopped her, âWhat are you doing?â
Qian Zhang snorted, âWhat else? Of course, Iâm going to buy it with money, Iâm here to do business with you, canât you be more polite?â
As she got closer, Su Qingyue smelled a foul odor coming from Qian Zhangâs mouth. Distressed, she fanned her nose, âThe smell in your mouth is really stinky⦠Please stay a little farther away when talking.â
If it had been someone else, she wouldnât have said that. Qian Zhang often came to her house to take advantage, taking a piece of coarse cloth for bedding from Lady Li, wanting to come to her house to find meat to eat, and even trying to extort fifty taels from her family. This kind of person still has the nerve to come and buy toothpaste.
âMeâ¦â Qian Zhangâs face changed slightly, âWho are you calling stinky-mouthed?â
âIâm talking about you,â Su Qingyue answered indifferently, âYou can try breathing at anyone and ask if it smellsâ¦â
Qian Zhang knew her mouth had a strong odor. She took out twelve copper coins from her pocket, âIâve asked, and with the medicinal mud toothpaste and a small pot, it costs twelve cents. Hereâs the money, give me a pot of medicinal mud toothpaste.â
