Chapter 753: 753 Li Gui’s thoughts
He didn’t do as she said, his facial expression stiffened slightly, “Su Qingyue, I have something to tell you…”
“What do you have to say to me?”
“I didn’t know you were still pure and clean.” He looked into her eyes, which were blazing with passion, “Last time, the villagers misunderstood that I had something to do with you. I thought it was better to let people misunderstand and not explain it. Anyway, I liked you in the first place. If the Xiao Family looked down on you because of this, I would marry you.”
A cold sneer curled on the corner of her lips, “Being accused of committing adultery with you, aren’t you afraid I’d be soaked in a pig cage?”
“If the husband’s family doesn’t pursue it, it won’t be that serious. With your great kindness to the Xiao family, the three sons wouldn’t let things get that far. At most, they would just sell you. I would buy you at that point…”
“Your so-called love doesn’t care about my life or death at all; you are really selfish.”
“Then what do you want me to do?”
She said lightly, “I want you to get lost and never show up in front of me again.”
“Impossible!” he gritted his teeth, “Su Qingyue, I really like you…”
“I heard that your family has arranged a blind date for you recently.” She bent down and continued to rake the underground vegetable seeds, “I’m never going to marry you in my life. You might as well just find another marriage and start a family; there’s no need to waste time on me.”
“Why is it impossible!” He walked over excitedly, trying to grab her arm, but hesitated when she glared at him coldlyl, and his hand stayed frozen in midair.
“Because I am the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law, a married woman.”
He appeared somewhat powerless, “I can…”
“If you don’t get out of here, I’ll have to serve you some mud to eat,” she said coldly.
The sound of wheelchair wheels echoed from outside the courtyard.
Li Gui knew that it was Xiao Qinghe who had arrived. He wanted to leave through the front door, but after some thought, he simply chose to climb the fence.
However, the courtyard wall of the Xiao Family’s new house was built higher than ordinary fences. Unable to climb over it, he spotted seven or eight baskets piled in the corner, and used two of them as footholds to finally climb out.
Xiao Qinghe saw Li Gui’s figure climbing over the fence as he wheeled his wheelchair into the yard.
His heart instantly cooled.
He saw his wife, who was unbothered, holding a hoe and digging underground vegetable seeds. Her clothes and hair were neat, and her hands were covered in mud – nothing like the guilty and fearful look of someone caught cheating.
He thought of his capable wife and the fact that her deed of sale had already been destroyed, making her a free person. If she really wanted to be with Li Gui, she could do so openly and not stay in the Xiao Family.
She didn’t leave and even kissed him.
This was enough to prove that she had no ulterior motives or intentions.
It must have been Li Gui pestering his wife!
However, Li Gui could have gone through the courtyard door, so why did he choose to climb the fence?
Su Qingyue knew Li Gui’s little calculations – he climbed the fence on purpose to make Xiao Qinghe misunderstand.
She just wanted to see her fourth brother’s reaction and didn’t stop him.
Seeing the anger in her fourth brother’s eyes when he saw Li Gui climbing the fence, she was comforted by the trust in his eyes when he looked at her.
She felt relieved and asked, “Fourth brother, how come you’re here?”
“Just came to see you,” he said blushing. He didn’t dare to mention that he saw Li Gui passing their front door, and wondered if Li Gui had come looking for his wife. So he had left the yard and followed Li Gui from afar until he saw him really heading towards their new house.
“Hm,” she replied, “Did we lock the door to our courtyard?” They had many items like rice, oil, and vegetables stored in the old house, and the courtyard door had been locked.
