Chapter 397: 397 Qingyue gave him money to go to the brothel 1
When Xiao Yuchuan sold goods, he had seen other families with a lot of money in town, especially those merchants who did big business. They all had a lot of money that day. But he had never seen so much silver in his own family before.
As he stared at his wife counting the money over and over… she carefully counted it twice.
He had already said, “Wife, no need to count anymore, there are still thirty taels and four hundred copper coins… I can see it all with my eyes.”
“Hmm.” She nodded.
He rubbed his hands together, his thumb moving back and forth between his index and middle fingers.
This “wanting money” gesture was really universal throughout ancient and modern times. Su Qingyue picked up a ten-tael silver ingot, and Xiao Yuchuan, not a greedy man, quickly said, “Wife, there’s no need for so much money to
hire a prostitute…”
“Right.”
He looked “touched”, “Wife, you’re so good!”
She glanced at him, “How am I good?”
“To give money to your husband to have fun with prostitutes, you are truly unprecedented and unparalleled.”
She agreed, “That’s what makes me, Su Qingyue, so special. Third brother, don’t talk about ancient people. In my eyes, you are a totally red naked ancient person.”
“What do you mean a ‘red-naked ancient person’?”
She kindly explained, “It means someone who is undoubtedly and unquestionably an ancient person.”
He was not happy, “Wife, your misuse of idioms doesn’t fool me. Just because you learned a few characters with old Scholar Huang, don’t bully me, an illiterate. I may not be able to read, but I know I haven’t committed any crime…”
She raised her eyebrows, “Third brother, I didn’t know you were so smart. Indeed, this idiom isn’t appropriate.”
“Also,” he pinched her face, “Wife, your husband is not an ancient person.” Since she wasn’t wearing medicine on her face now, he wasn’t afraid to get his hand dirty by touching it.
“You’re not ancient?” She rolled her eyes at him, he was at least a thousand years older than her. “Third brother, if you’re not an ancient person, are you a modern person?”
“Wife, don’t fool me.” He waved dismissively, “Modern people are not people at all…
“…” She was indignant, determined to defend the honor of modern people, “How are modern people not people? They are so advanced, so…”
“You are the one who said that modern people are legendary, so they are fictional.” He was very smart, “Can something fictional be called a person?”
“…” She wanted to say that she was a time -traveler, that ancient people were not people, they were the bad ones!
“Wife, you are still young and don’t understand.” Xiao Yuchuan gave her a
lesson, “Ancient people are just those who have died, and I am a living person of today. Do you understand?”
She nodded, feeling weak in front of third brother at times, wanting to give up, “I don’t want to argue with you anymore, you rough and wild country bumpkin.
No knowledge, no culture, no character!”
“Oh… It’s as if you’re a well-bred young lady from a wealthy family in town.” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t get angry, “I may be a rough and wild country bumpkin, but you are just a village girl. A country bumpkin and a village girl, we are a natural pair! Later, don’t talk about your husband. When you criticize me, it only shows that your taste is very poor…”
“I’ve never met anyone with better taste than me!” Her tone was becoming furious.
“Alright, alright… you have good taste.” He was becoming a little afraid of her, “It’s late at night, don’t get angry, don’t shout… I haven’t done anything to you yet, if you shout any louder, second brother and fourth brother in the master bedroom might think we’re doing something else…. “
