Translator: 549690339

Liu Zheng’s wife was about to catch up when Wang Qigu shouted, “Don’t you want the clothes your daughter washed?”

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, “Li Gui… come to Aunt Wang’s house for dinner later.” It would be great if he could become her son-in-law.

“No need,” Li Gui declined. ‘My mom must have cooked dinner at home already.”

Wang Qigu didn’t give up. “It’s still early before nightfall; would your mom cook dinner so early?”

“Hey, Wang Qigu, can’t you see that Li Gui doesn’t want to go to your house for dinner? He’s making excuses, and you just won’t quit.” Another household with a girl was also unhappy.

Li Gui didn’t say a word to that comment, implying agreement.

Wang Qigu bit her lip and decided not to say anything more; she didn’t want to look pushy like Liu Zheng’s wife, an idiot without a brain.

Su Qingyue ignored the villagers’ comments, continued to walk along the riverbank, and Xiao Yuchuan naturally followed his wife’s footsteps.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, a few men chatted among themselves about Liu Xianglian’s well-proportioned figure, and how Liu Zheng’s wife’s 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!

“Wife, when did you start flirting with Li Gui?” 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.

“Wife, I’m talking to you!” Xiao Yuchuan flared up. Seeing that she still hadn’t reacted, he remembered that his wife couldn’t hear him. “…

Su Qingyue took a few turns and stopped at the spot where she had ‘jumped into the river’ 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 men’s 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, ‘Wife, don’t turn around!

You scared me!”

She looked innocent. “When did I scare you again?

“You tell me, why does your figure look so good while your face has so many pus-filled sores!”

“Who am I supposed to ask? Pus, sores, pimples, you think I like having them?” She touched her face, got some pus on her hand, and smeared it on his face. “Here, take it. With the pus on you, I’ll become pretty.”

He didn’t wipe it off in time, and his face got smeared. He quickly wiped off the pus from his face and said, “Wife, do you want me to have pus too? You know your husband relies on his good-looking face….”
