She tapped his head, “You fool, you really want to be poor for a lifetime?”
“I was just kidding, wife…”
“Get out of here.”
Xiao Yuchuan shook her arm, but Su Qingyue still ignored him.
Xiao Yishan went into the room and came out again, “Yue’er, third brother, I have something to do and need to go out.”
“Second brother, it’s so late, where are you going?” Qingyue was a bit concerned.
Yishan didn’t want to say it, but since his wife asked, he told her, “I’m going to
Dr. Sun Changde’s house.”
“Second brother, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?” Su Qingyue stared at his strong figure, he looked very healthy.
“No, it’s just something else.” He said, then walked out of the courtyard fence.
Xiao Yuchuan hurriedly followed, “Second brother, wait. Second brother, are you going to Dr. Sun’s house to pay back the money?”
He nodded.
Xiao Yuchuan stuffed him with ten copper coins, “I’ve been staying at home watching my wife these days, I only went to sell goods for half a day yesterday, earning thirty copper coins. I spent eleven copper coins on pork, and nine more copper coins on other things, leaving only these ten copper coins.”
“It’s fine, you can keep it. The two taels I earned from hunting this time, I have already spent half a tael, still got one and a half taels to pay back first.’
Xiao Yuchuan raised his eyebrows, half a tael of silver was not a small amount. He wanted to ask second brother what he spent it on, but he thought it was second brother’s hard-earned money and decided not to ask. He looked toward the yard, noticing that his wife wasn’t looking this way, knowing she couldn’t hear, and didn’t deliberately lower his voice, “I know that my ten copper coins are too few, when my wife came back from the town with a severe injury, the medicine we bought cost six taels of silver that we didn’t pay, so it’s better to pay more with an extra ten copper coins.”
“Alright then.” Xiao Yishan stuffed the ten copper coins and one and a half taels of silver carefully, “Don’t tell your wife about the debt to Doctor Sun, so she doesn’t worry. Let’s just secretly earn money and pay it back as soon as possible.”
“That’s what I meant. Now that my wife’s health has improved, I’ll start going out to sell goods every day from tomorrow morning.”
Xiao Yishan patted Chuan’s shoulder and strode towards Doctor Sun’s house.
Su Qingyue listened to the two men’s conversation in the yard, her face heavy.
It turned out she still owed six taels of silver for her medical expenses. No wonder second brother had been out hunting every day, trying to earn money.
After all, this family was so poor, how could they afford to pay for her medical treatment. She also knew that it was lucky for second brother to have hunted prey worth two taels of silver this time; if his luck was bad… he could go out for several days and come back empty-handed.
Xiao Yuchuan came back into the yard and saw Su Qingyue’s solemn face. He asked with concern, “Wife, what’s wrong?”
“Xiao Yuchuan, I have something to tell you.” She glanced in the direction of the secondary bedroom to avoid Xiao Qinghe from hearing and pulled him to the corner of the house.
“What is it?”
“I want to leave the Xiao family…”
“I won’t allow it!” He immediately shouted angrily. She fiddled with her ears, “I’m leaving, you can’t stop me.”
He held her tightly, trapping her between the wall and himself, “I’ll be damned if I can’t. Even if I have to watch you and lock you up every day, I’ll never let you go!”
She frowned, “What’s the point of being so fierce? I can stay…”
“That’s good.” His eyebrows relaxed, but before they completely relaxed, she said again, “Let me finish. If I don’t leave, there’s one condition, you… can’t touch me.”
He stared at her bright eyes, “Wife, what do you mean?”
