Everyone looked over, and Wang Adou was surprised, “It seems like she’s talking, can mutes talk too?”
“Isn’t that right? When people talk, they can make sounds, but when the mute from the Xiao Family talks, it’s just her mouth moving without any sound…”
“It’s not without sound, didn’t she make some ‘ah ah’ noises? That’s how all mutes talk.”
“Mute’s speech is just ‘ah’ and ‘oh’, speaking that bird language that only they can understand… Maybe if we find another mute, mutes can have their common language and understand each other…”
“That would be too much, wouldn’t it? One mute is quiet enough, having more would make the house too eerily quiet.”
“Hey, being a mute is not all bad. At least the wife of the Xiao Family can’t talk, so it’s very quiet. My wife keeps nagging in my ear all day long, it’s annoying as hell…” Wang Adou also noticed the advantage of the mute woman.
“Well, why don’t you just exchange your wife with the one from the Xiao Family? She would definitely agree,” Shi Cai laughed, suggesting from the side.
Wang Adou hurriedly waved his hand, “No… My wife, despite being annoying, is hundreds, even thousands of times better-looking than Su Qingyue… I won’t agree to the exchange!”
Su Qingyue was very upset; she couldn’t understand why her second brother wouldn’t let her take a shower. Was he afraid she would lose face by bathing in front of so many villagers?
True, ancient times were more conservative, but she was still wearing clothes, right?
Those villagers were really idle, watching her take a bath like that. Did they really want to see a woman bathing that much? Ancient people and modern people were indeed on entirely different levels of thinking.
It was just unreasonable!
Could it be that these people misunderstood and thought she wanted to jump into the river? But she said she just wanted to take a bath. Why did these people look down on her even more?
She thought everyone could hear what she was saying, but she was deaf and couldn’t hear her own voice. She didn’t realize others couldn’t hear her either. Moreover, her hoarse, croaky voice was so unclear that ordinary people would think it was just a mute’s monotonous wailing.
Everyone pointed at her while chatting even more, “Look at the tears on the wife of the Xiao Family… She wants to die so badly that she’s crying…”
“Dashan, why don’t you just fulfill your wife’s wish and let her die…” Shi Fang, the second son of the Shi Family, ‘kindly’ said, “You might be able to stop her now, but you can’t stop her forever…”
Su Qingyue wasn’t crying at all; she was just choked by the river water, which caused tears to blur her eyes. She cried out a few more times before her throat hurt so much that she couldn’t make any more sounds. She felt like she was about to be dirtied to death, not painfully killed.
As the struggle continued, the more her second brother refused to let go, coming close to dragging her onto the shore. She wouldn’t just give up her efforts and go back like that.
She had to know that from the Xiao Family to here, it took a quick person only about five or six minutes. But she was injured and walked slowly for half an hour. Was that easy?
Calming down, she prepared to talk to her second brother properly, asking him to drive away the onlooking crowd and help her by keeping watch at a distance while she took a refreshing bath.
Even if her second brother were to peek at her, she would accept it!
Cough… The problem was that she was skinny and had a body like a bamboo pole, with nothing appealing to look at. Even if she invited her second brother to look, he might not want to.
No matter what, as long as her second brother allowed her to take a proper bath, she would be even more grateful to him than when he saved her life!
