He went to pick a large and long banana leaf, holding it over Su Qingyue’s head with one hand, “Wife, your skin is already dark enough, I can’t let the sun burn you…”
Up close, looking carefully at her skin, his wife’s skin didn’t seem as dark as before, it seemed to have gotten a bit lighter…
Xiao Yuchuan blinked, scratching his head with his empty hand, wondering how his wife could have become lighter, and guessed that she hadn’t been that dark in the first place, and he was misremembering.
Old Wang Qigu, who had just returned to the village from selling vegetables in town, saw them and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Hey, isn’t this Dashan and Chuan brothers! Dashan, who are you carrying?”
“Who else could it be,” Xiao Yishan said coldly, “Of course I’m carrying my wife.”
“More like carrying your wife to sell her,” Wang Qigu said sympathetically. “I heard from the villagers in front of you going to town, it’s sad that you brothers bought an ugly mute, and your wife is deaf too… Why don’t you let your wife walk by herself? Still carrying her, treating her so preciously… You, Chuan, are even more ridiculous, holding a banana leaf to shade your wife from the sun? No matter how much shade, her skin, like black charcoal, could never get lighter, the darkest girl in the whole village and everywhere around…”
Wang Qigu had a biting tongue and loved to gossip.
The Xiao brothers didn’t bother to listen to the old woman’s nonsense, and simply quickened their pace.
“Hey… I was saying…” Wang Qigu shouted from behind, “I haven’t finished talking yet… Tsk! I am upset today. Having sold vegetables for half a day, the vegetables all withered without selling many. Sold them cheaply for a few copper coins and I wanted to vent more on them…”
Seeing the Xiao brothers disappearing in no time, she could only grumble as she walked back to the village.
Su Qingyue didn’t know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, she found herself still being carried by second brother.
Second brother was carrying her while waiting in line, with one patient in front and three people lined up behind them.
All the wooden compartments on the wall to the right were neat, with a counter in front of the compartments, where a young man dressed as a pharmacy boy was grabbing and weighing medicine according to prescriptions.
Turning to look behind her, the busy street was filled with people coming and going.
Xiao Yuchuan noticed his wife had woken up and said from the side, “We’re almost there.”
Su Qingyue got down from Xiao Yishan’s back and wondered how long he had been carrying her… Frowning, she blamed herself for being asleep. He was so stupid he wouldn’t wake her up. And he was still carrying her in line. How could he manage that?
He was soaked in sweat, visibly tired, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit guilty.
Xiao Yishan felt relieved as the soft pressure on his back was finally gone. His wife was as light as a feather to him, and he just wanted to fatten her up. Her body was pressed against his, and the two soft mounds squeezed him… He was tense and sweating all over.
He really wanted to just press his wife down to the ground…
It was hard to bear, and when she finally got off his back, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Su Qingyue was a bit moved. Second brother and his brother actually took her to see the doctor again. They had already found three doctors for her in the village, and this was the fourth time… Such a poor family…
She really didn’t want to waste any more of her second brother’s family’s money, so she turned around and tried to walk out.
Xiao Yishan grabbed her hand, and with a determined look, sat her down on a chair. It was her turn now.
An old doctor, about fifty years old, frowned, “With such an ugly appearance, you are still so pretentious. In my lifetime of practicing medicine, I have never seen a woman with intact limbs who needed to be carried by her husband for a consultation..”
