“Yue’er won’t even let you call her wife, do you think she’ll let you touch her?”
Mentioning this made Xiao Yuchuan angry. His wife only let him call her
Qingyue, “She didn’t say you could call her wife either.”
“We are family. It doesn’t matter what we call each other for now.” Xiao Yishan said solemnly, “Your wife is just recovering from a serious injury. Do not force her at this time.”
Xiao Yuchuan thought about his wife’s slender arms and legs, “She is so thin and frail, I can’t bear to… let’s wait a little longer then.”
After a while, the door to the main bedroom opened.
He went to the edge of the yard fence and poured it out.
Su Qingyue took off her only patched clothes and put on the men’s clothes that her second brother had given her.
She took her dirty clothes and walked to the yard, took the bathtub from Xiao Yuchuan’s hand, placed it on the ground, threw her dirty clothes and leftover soap pod into the bathtub, and started to wash her clothes in the night.
There was no other way. The men’s clothes were too long and large for her, and she rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs, which kept falling down. She kept tripping and almost fell several times. She still preferred her only set of coarse clothes, which she could wear as soon as she washed them.
It was a bit hot in May. If she handwashed her clothes, even without a high-tech washing machine to spin them dry, they would dry after being hung out overnight and aired the next morning.
Xiao Yuchuan moved a stool over, sat across from Su Qingyue, and took the initiative to pick up one of her clothes, “Wife, let me wash, you rest.”
She glared at him holding her… bellyband, which was the equivalent of a modern bra. She snatched it from him, “I’ll wash it myself. I told you not to call me wife!”
“Believe it or not, I’ll pull out all your teeth?”
He reflexively covered his mouth and then bared his teeth in a smile, “You can’t bear to do that.” He picked up her outer shirt and said, “Wife, I think you’re amazing. You can understand what others are saying just by watching their mouths, even though you’re deaf. I’ve never heard of it before. You’re the first one.”
Su Qingyue understood his words, “Didn’t you say I have sharp eyes?”
She rolled her eyes at him, “Does your mouth ever stop cutting people down?” “If I don’t cut others down, I’ll just cut you down.”
“I must have owed you in my past life!” She ignored him, crouched down, lowered her head, skillfully crushed the soap pod with her left hand, and started to wash her clothes with one hand.
“If you didn’t owe me, we wouldn’t have become husband and wife in this life.” Yuchuan couldn’t help but smile, his mouth wide open. When he watched her, he was a bit surprised.
His second brother, who was beside them, was also astonished.
It was difficult to squeeze the juice out of a soap pod with just one hand. People usually used something to crush it. Yue’er seemed so weak, yet she could crush the pod so easily.
Suddenly, they felt… Yue’er might not be that simple.
“Third brother, since Yue’er doesn’t want you to wash her clothes, I’ll do it instead.” Xiao Yishan came over.
“Second brother, you always let me do things my way. Are you going to compete with me over something so trivial?” He soaked Qingyue’s coarse outer shirt, smeared it with soap pod juice, and started washing it.
Su Qingyue couldn’t refuse him, so she washed her bellyband and trousers first, which were similar to modern women’s underwear. The shape was like four-cornered underwear, but looser than the tight-fitting kind..
