The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 512: 512 Qinghe Call Wife 7

“Mom, the teacher always says we should not be ashamed to ask questions,” the little boy replied, “I noticed that older brother and his wife were acting weird, so I asked…”

“Don’t ask random questions, let’s go…” The woman took the little one named Mian away.

The words of the small child made Su Qingyue’s heart ache, “You little rotten kid, you are the weird one!”

“He’s just a kid. My wife….” Xiao Qinghe looked at her with a light smile, “Qingyue, don’t take it personally.”

He was quite pleased to have encountered such an interesting child.

Seeing that the child was asking questions and that the young man was friendly, an old granny came over and said to Xiao Qinghe, “Young man, your wheelchair looks very fine and delicate.”

Xiao Qinghe nodded slightly, pointing to Qingyue, “My wife bought it for me.” As he said this, his heart was pounding, and he sneaked glances at her from the corner of his eye. He was afraid she would deny it again.

Su Qingyue glared at him. She didn’t expect that the Fourth Brother would have such thick skin. He deceived the child by saying she was his wife, and now he deceived the old granny. Once he was given a little face, he started running a dyeing house.

She put on a straight face, thinking that she should educate Fourth Brother well.

One can eat carelessly without anyone caring whether they choke or not, but one can not speak carelessly.

Seeing his wife’s icy expression, he could deeply feel her reluctance. His gaze fell a few notches.

The old granny asked, “Young man, how much did you pay for this wheelchair?”

“Five taels of silver,” he said.

“That’s quite expensive!” The old woman exclaimed, “Your family is really good to you.”

He gave a faint smile, “Granny, my wife bought it for me.”

The old woman glanced at Su Qingyue and then at him, “Young man, you are really lucky. Although your wife is a bit ugly, she is so good to you and is willing to buy a wheelchair for you that costs five taels. You won’t find such a wife even if you look for her with a lantern.”

Another passerby commented, “Yeah. Although you’re more handsome, your wife is ugly, but you’re disabled and she’s normal. The ugly woman and the disabled man, perfect match! ”

Someone nearby couldn’t bear it any longer and said, “How can you say that!”

“The language is crude but the reasoning isn’t. Look, aren’t the couple well-matched… ”

“That’s true. No matter how handsome a man is, if his legs are useless, it’s pure luck for him to get a wife. This young lady is so willing to spend money for her husband…”

The number of spectators and their comments continued to increase.

The more Su Qingyue heard, the darker her face became.

Xiao Qinghe had always felt that his wife didn’t treat him as her husband. Now that everyone knew she was his wife, even though they were strangers, he felt very happy.

Passersby were right. He was disabled.

As a manly man, he should face the facts fearlessly.

Although he never disliked his wife’s looks, he had to admit that when he heard everyone say that she was a good match for him, he was slightly relieved.

At least, others thought he was worthy of her.

But in his heart, he clearly understood that he was not worthy of her.

Yet …

He still wanted to be with her.

As the number of onlookers increased, Su Qingyue had an idea. “Everyone, let me offer you a free taste of something really good.”

“What good thing?” The old granny was the first to ask.

Su Qingyue put her shoulder pole down by the roadside, lifted a large banana leaf, and a basketful of fragrant, colorful and tender braised pig’s large intestine was revealed to everyone.

People crowded around and asked,” Young lady, what’s this?”

She smiled, “I’ve named this dish ‘First-class Ten Fragrance Meat’. It’s very, very tasty. If you’re planning to buy some meat to eat, you can have a taste!”
