Speaking of which, she paused and said, “She probably feels embarrassed to come, and initially wanted to buy a pot of toothpaste from Ding Er’s wife. Ding Er’s wife asked her to pay two more copper coins, but that stingy ghost Qian Zhang wasn’t willing. Qian Zhang has a loose-lipped, mean and sour personality, offending many people. When she wants to buy things from others, they always raise the price, and she doesn’t want to pay a penny more. Her family had a dispute with yours, but I guess she would still come, thick-skinned, to buy it.”
“Thank you, Aunt Zhang, I understand.” Su Qingyue got her another chair. “Aunt, why don’t you sit down for a while? I should start preparing lunch now…”
She hurriedly waved her hand, “I also need to go home and cook lunch, so I’m leaving first.”
“Take care.” Su Qingyue walked into the kitchen, took out a basin of flat beans, and placed a waste basket and her own vegetable basket on the side. She picked up the beans from the basin, pinched off the hard stems at both ends, threw the unwanted stems into the waste basket, and put the picked beans into the vegetable basket.
Xiao Qinghe let go of the bamboo basket in his hand, turned his wheelchair beside her, and wanted to help her fold the flat beans. Leaning over to pick up the beans from the basin, Qingyue also bent down, and their heads bumped into each other.
“Ouch…” Su Qingyue exclaimed softly.
Xiao Qinghe immediately stretched out his hand to rub her forehead, “Did it hurt?”
As she looked up, she could see the concern in his face, the handsome white complexion, clear and elegant eyes, faint-colored lips seemingly inviting a bite, and she was momentarily stunned.
Qinghe likewise looked at her close-up face. Although her skin was dull and there were many spots on her face, these were completely ignored in his eyes. He looked at her bright and watery, vibrant eyes and her cherry lips as red as pink paint, his heart thumping rapidly, involuntarily moving closer and closer to her…
Just as he was about to kiss her lips, Qian Zhang walked in from outside the courtyard, “Yo, during daytime, Wife of the Xiao Family, are you getting on well with your husband?”
The two people were shocked and quickly separated, Xiao Qinghe’s handsome white face blushing shyly.
But Su Qingyue was indifferent, “My relationship with my husband is none of your business. Who says you can’t get on well during the day?”
When Qinghe heard her say this, he was embarrassed and blushed all over his body.
It’s not like they are doing anything immoral, they are a legitimate couple. Qian Zhang couldn’t say anything, “Su Qingyue, I heard your family has more medicinal mud toothpaste for sale?”
Su Qingyue pointed to the pot next to the chair, “It’s right there.”
Qian Zhang glanced at it and spontaneously walked over to pick up the pot, but Qingyue stopped her, “What are you doing?”
Qian Zhang snorted, “What else? Of course, I’m going to buy it with money, I’m here to do business with you, can’t you be more polite?”
As she got closer, Su Qingyue smelled a foul odor coming from Qian Zhang’s mouth. Distressed, she fanned her nose, “The smell in your mouth is really stinky… Please stay a little farther away when talking.”
If it had been someone else, she wouldn’t have said that. Qian Zhang often came to her house to take advantage, taking a piece of coarse cloth for bedding from Lady Li, wanting to come to her house to find meat to eat, and even trying to extort fifty taels from her family. This kind of person still has the nerve to come and buy toothpaste.
“Me…” Qian Zhang’s face changed slightly, “Who are you calling stinky-mouthed?”
“I’m talking about you,” Su Qingyue answered indifferently, “You can try breathing at anyone and ask if it smells…”
Qian Zhang knew her mouth had a strong odor. She took out twelve copper coins from her pocket, “I’ve asked, and with the medicinal mud toothpaste and a small pot, it costs twelve cents. Here’s the money, give me a pot of medicinal mud toothpaste.”
