Translator: 549690339

Seeing no trace of his wife in the yard, his second brother was also nowhere to be found.

He rushed to the entrance of the courtyard and shouted loudly, “Wife!” A group of birds on a nearby tree was startled, flying off into the sky. Villager Qian Youfa, who happened to be passing by outside, was shocked and touched his ears, “Chuan, what are you screaming for? You nearly deafened me!”

Xiao Yuchuan asked, “Did you see my wife?”

“Nope. Did you lose your wife again? Seriously, what’s with your family always losing wives?” Qian Youfa shook his head and headed for the field, “To save that stinking woman Liu Xianglian, I got all wet and didn’t even finish plowing the field. Just changed out of my wet clothes and now rushing to finish the field before nightfall…”

He glanced back at Xiao Yuchuan, “Hey, Chuan, you changed clothes from the ones you were wearing by the river. Why is your hair still wet? Did you try to join your wife in the river jump?”

“Go away!” Xiao Yuchuan said angrily, “Mind your own business and go work on your field. Stop the fucking nonsense.”

“Chuan, are you still looking for your wife?” Aunt Zhang called from the intersection ahead, pointing in a certain direction, “I saw your wife and your second brother heading towards the river bank.”

“Thanks, Aunt Zhang.” Xiao Yuchuan rushed towards the river bank, grumbling that his wife and second brother didn’t wait for him.

Su Qingyue took Xiao Yishan to the river bank where she had “jumped” into the river last time.

The more they walked, the more anxious Xiao Yishan became, “Wife… Yue’er… What are you doing here…” Afraid that she might do something impulsive again, he furrowed his brows.

Su Qingyue, who couldn’t hear him, squatted down and washed the pottery jar in the river water.

Seeing her calm expression, Xiao Yishan felt slightly relieved, she didn’t seem impulsive. He squatted down next to her, and taking the jar from her hands, he filled it with water and washed it, “This jar used to belong to my big sister before she got married and was for her to store oil. When she got married, she took everything she could from home. She didn’t take this jar because it has a chipped rim. The sight of this jar angers my third brother, but he couldn’t bear to throw it away, so it has been left in the corner…”

Su Qingyue and Xiao Yishan faced the river, squatting in a line. From her angle, she couldn’t see him talking and since she could only see his lips moving, she had to keep leaning forward towards the water and tilting her head to try to see what he was saying.

However, she leaned too far forward, and her feet slipped, sending her tumbling into the water…

Xiao Yishan quickly reached out and grabbed her. He managed to catch her with the hand holding the pottery jar, but her momentum was too strong, and they both ended up falling into the water, creating a huge splash.

The water wasn’t deep in this part of the river, and Xiao Yishan managed to stabilize himself after a few steps, with the water just reaching his chin.

Su Qingyue wasn’t so lucky. With her height, the water covered her head.

She tried to raise her head above water but found that her body was tightly wrapped in her second brother’s strong arms, making her unable to move.

Stubborn second brother! He wouldn’t even let her go after falling into the river!

Fortunately, she had held her breath as soon as she entered the water, preventing her from choking.

She wasn’t sure whether she should be angry at her second brother’s subconscious reaction, but it was evident that he cared for her.

“Second brother, wife, where are you?” Xiao Yuchuan shouted from afar, hearing the splashing in the water.. He saw his second brother’s head emerge from the water and asked, “Second brother, where’s my wife?”
