Chuan’s bath stink made him nauseous all night.
The more Li Cai thought about it, the darker his face became.
Xiao Yuchuan was delighted and smiled proudly at the crowd, “Didn’t you say my wife ran away? Look, my wife is here safe and sound!”
Li Cai sneered, “She didn’t run away, but she’s deaf and mute, a burden and a handicap for life!”
Everyone’s sympathetic gaze fell on Su Qingyue, with many looking at her with disdain.
“You son of a…” Before Xiao Yuchuan could get angry, Su Qingyue read Li Cai’s lips and realized the news of her being deaf and mute had spread through the village so quickly. She coldly said, “To not be a burden, I’d better not be deaf and mute.”
Her voice was soft, sweet, and as beautiful as a heavenly sound.
The gentle tone was like a cool breeze refreshing to the heart.
Everyone fell silent…
Wang Adou dug his ears, “Who just spoke?”
Aunt Zhang pointed at Su Qingyue, “It was Su Qingyue, I saw her talking.”
Everyone looked at her unbelievably, like they’d seen a ghost, “How can she talk? Her voice is as nice as an oriole singing in the valley…” “I’ve lived most of my life but never heard such a sweet voice from a woman…”
“Wow, it’s so beautiful, I want to hear her talk more…”
The crowd chatted back and forth.
Li Cai stared at Su Qingyue incredulously, “Aren’t you deaf and mute? How can you talk?”
She shrugged, “I don’t know. When your mouth cheapened, I just wanted to talk.”
Listening to her, everyone paused for a moment and then burst into laughter.
Aunt Zhang joked, “Li Cai, your mouth is really something. You managed to make the deaf and mute hear and talk…you really have this skill…” “A big man, picking on a woman like that, shame on you, you’re so petty…”
“That’s right, if she were truly deaf and mute, she would be heartbroken…you just hit yourself in the face…”
Embarrassed by everyone’s comments, Li Cai’s face turned red. He didn’t carry any more water and walked back with an empty bucket.
Xiao Yuchuan didn’t explain that his wife actually couldn’t hear and just read lips. He walked up to Su Qingyue cheerfully, “How did you get here? How did
you know I was here?”
“After I left the house, I ‘saw’ several people say you were looking for me and that you were here, so I came.”
Hearing her mention the word ‘house’, Yuchuan felt a surge of happiness in his heart, “Wife, you’re so good to me!”
“I told you not to call me wife!” She frowned and walked towards the river outside the village.
Xiao Yuchuan followed her figure, chanting like a fool, “Wife, wife, wife!”
Some of the crowd listening to their conversation wondered, “Su Qingyue really isn’t deaf and mute… Could it be true that being scolded by Li Cai can cure deafness and muteness?”
“No way. Wife of the Xiao Family was just playing Li Cai. If being scolded could really cure someone, there wouldn’t be any deaf or mute people left in the world…”
“Didn’t Dashan and Chuan take their wife to town for treatment yesterday? Doctor Sun from the village couldn’t cure her, maybe some highly skilled doctor in town did…”
Everyone was discussing animatedly, most saying, “The wife of the Xiao Family is no longer deaf and mute, and the seventeen taels paid by old lady Liu were worth it… Such a beautiful voice is wasted on an ugly face….”
