BXBX NOVEL Chapter 89 - 89: 89 If you become deaf, I don’t want you anymore.
“If she dares to do it, then I’m not afraid to say it.” Xiao Yuchuan glanced at the silver in his hand and thought about his wife rummaging through the cabinet. He handed the silver back to his second brother. “Second brother, the food in the house is almost gone. You go to town and buy some more.”
Brown rice costs five cents per jin. With one tael of silver, they could buy one hundred and sixty jin of brown rice. He and his second brother had big appetites, and now there were four people in the house. If they didn’t add sweet potatoes to the brown rice, it certainly wouldn’t last a month.
After giving Su Qingyue a glance, Xiao Yuchuan felt down. His wife was thinking about stealing, but he wanted to use this one tael of silver to buy her some clothes. Unfortunately, he was injured. Nine days later, Fourth Brother would need money for medicine, and Second Brother’s hunting was unpredictable. To avoid going hungry, they had to buy food first, and everything else could wait.
Xiao Yishan didn’t refuse and put away the silver. Indeed, eating was important. The silver was to compensate Second Brother, so whatever he said to buy, they would buy.
“Wife, breakfast is ready, but it’s probably cold by now. I’ll heat it up for you, and you’ll be able to eat in a little while.” Xiao Yishan said, and walked out.
Su Qingyue watched his tall and strong figure, feeling somewhat dazed.
Xiao Yuchuan followed her gaze and frowned, “Stinky old woman, what are you looking at? Is Second Brother that good-looking? I’m much better looking than him, look at my face… ”
Speaking made the swelling hurt, “Stinky old woman, I was beaten because of you. When I’ve healed, you’d better pamper me more.”
She sat on the edge of the bed, while he pulled up a chair and sat opposite her,
“Why do I always stare at you when you’re so ugly?”
She couldn’t hear what he was saying, but judging from his disdainful eyes, she knew the guy wouldn’t say anything nice, so she only gave him three words:
“You’re sick.” Her throat still hurt, and her voice remained hoarse and wheezy.
“Oh, our little mute has a bit of a temper, huh?” Xiao Yuchuan smirked.
She understood his short sentence and didn’t want to face the pig head. So, she got up and went to the kitchen to wait for the breakfast Second Brother was cooking.
“Angry?” Xiao Yuchuan laughed at her retreating back, “Wife, you’re such a little trickster. You obviously heard me just now, but you tricked me into thinking you’re deaf. Really!” He waved his hand, “Do you think it’s fun to be both deaf and mute? You’re already mute. If you were really deaf, I wouldn’t want you.”
He abruptly stood up and followed Su Qingyue’s footsteps into the kitchen.
As soon as Qingyue entered the kitchen, she prepared to clean her teeth. She saw fresh willow branches at the stove. They were clearly freshly picked this morning.
She had also left her six used willow branches on the stove, but their color was much drier and duller.
Second Brother and Petty Cat must also use them, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. As she reached for the dry willow branches, Xiao Yishan handed her a fresh one first. “I picked this for you this morning. It’s more comfortable to clean your teeth with a fresh one.”
She understood his words, took the willow branch from him, chewed on an end of it, and scooped some water to clean her teeth. She used three branches, brushing her teeth three times- TilSt like before. only the last time did she mix a
little salt with water to brush.
Xiao Yishan watched her clean her teeth and felt she had become much more clean and tidier than before.
After reheating the breakfast, Xiao Yishan opened the pot lid. Inside the pot was a big pot of cooked brown rice, with a bowl on top of the rice. Inside the bowl were a few pieces of leftover chicken from last night’s dinner..
