Chapter 243: 243 is not the ugliest.
Wushan Village was a large village, and there were not many literate people in the entire village. A lowly purchased person who could read and write was bound to earn envy.
Men were also jealous, but they didn’t express it like women did.
Su Qingyue noticed the thoughts of the crowd and sneered, not bothering to care.
Aunt Zhang glared at the gossiping women, “What is there to be envious about?
When Su Qingyue hadn’t been bought by the Xiao Family and was still in the
Zhu Family, wasn’t old Scholar Huang’s house right next to the Zhu’s? If old Scholar Huang was willing to teach her, what can you do about it? Su Qingyue is a good person. Even if I can’t read or write, I can recognize characters, and I’m willing to teach her as well.”
With that said, those old women finally stopped talking.
Qingyue did not know that old Scholar Huang’s house was next to the Zhu Family’s. It seemed that her wild guess was actually correct.
Xiao Yuchuan recovered from the shock, “My dear, you can actually recognize characters…”
She asked with a smile, “Is that not good?”
“Of course it’s good.” It’s just that… a cultured person seemed to be… a bit beyond his reach. Fortunately, his wife was ugly. If she were beautiful too, the men of the Xiao Family would truly not be good enough for her.
Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe in the room shared similar thoughts.
Qian Youfa smiled, “Yo, Chuan, you didn’t even know your wife could read, did you?”
“She never said or wrote anything, so why would I know? It’s not strange at all.”
Su Qingyue chimed in, “There aren’t any words to be written at home anyway.”
Xiao Yuchuan was pleased, “My dear, I like it when you say ‘our house, our home.”‘ He teased her with a grin, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.
“Go ahead, Chuan, be proud.” Qian Zhangshi couldn’t stand it anymore. She had always shown off how much better she looked than Su Qingyue in front of her husband because Qingyue was uglier. Now, even though Su Qingyue was still ugly, she could recognize characters, which would definitely choke her when her husband found out. It was really painful for her, “So what if your wife knows a few characters? She’s still so ugly.”
Xiao Yuchuan was unhappy, “My wife is much more beautiful than you. Look at your acne-covered face and yellow teeth.”
“Your wife has a face full of pus sores, are her teeth not yellow?” Qian Zhangshi yelled indignantly.
Su Qingyue happened to smile slightly, showing a mouthful of tidy teeth. Although they were not very white, they were definitely not yellow. She planned to make some medicinal mud toothpaste with the herbs she gathered. Once she had toothpaste to brush her teeth, they would gradually become whiter.
Qian Youfa looked at her and said, “Huh, the wife of the Xiao Family’s teeth are really not yellow anymore, they look much better than yours.”
Although he also had the last name Qian, he and Qian Zhangshi were not from the same family. Qian Zhangshi put her hands on her hips, “She has sores, her skin is darker than mine!” She couldn’t stand to lose to the only person uglier than her in the village.
Su Qingyue felt so wronged. Why did everyone wish for her to be ugly?
“That’s true…” Qian Youfa hadn’t finished speaking when he seemed to discover something strange, “The wife of the Xiao Family’s skin seems to have gotten much whiter since last time…”
Xiao Yuchuan snorted coldly, “My wife’s skin was originally very white. It’s just that the Zhu Family mistreated her and made her tan. Now, she’s getting whiter day by day.”
Qian Youfa looked at her, “It seems so….”
