She paused for a moment, her eyebrows almost furrowed together.
There was clearly no one here just now, when did so many people suddenly appear?
As an outstanding assassin, her reflexes were always sharp. Usually, she would notice people even from far away. How did she not notice a whole group of people behind her?
Then she suddenly remembered that her ears were deaf!
She habitually thought that like in modern times, she would be able to detect anyone approaching with her excellent hearing. So, she was caught off guard for a moment.
Mistake, it was a mistake.
It seems that she needs to get used to being deaf, use her ears less… no, not use her ears at all before they recover, and rely more on her eyes.
Those who came to watch the commotion on the shore saw Su Qingyue being rescued and some of them breathed a sigh of relief, “The Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law is really something. The more we tell her not to seek death, the more she runs toward deep water. Is she in such a hurry to die?”
“If it’s her life, and she wants to die that badly, just let her! I’m afraid that even Yama wouldn’t want to take in such an ugly woman!” Shi Fang, the second son of the Shi Family, had a grudge against the Xiao Family because his eldest brother Shi Cai had fought with Xiao Yuchuan. He wished for something bad to happen to the Xiao Family.
“Hey, Shi Fang, your heart is really vicious.” Wang Cuihua, whose husband was friends with Yuchuan, said disapprovingly, “After all, Su Qingyue is a human. What did she do to provoke you so that you want her dead? What good will come to you if she dies? Will you pick up money?”
“I won’t pick up any money, but how can I not benefit?” Shi Fang looked at Xiao Yishan taking Su Qingyue out of the river and pointed at her face, “Look at her face full of pus sores. After soaking in the water, her skin turned white, it’s really disgusting. Having such a person in our village is a disaster for everyone’s eyes. One look at her and I lose my appetite for a meal…”
Wang Cuihua snorted, “Isn’t this great? It saves your family some food.”
Wang Qigu, who came from the back, slapped her thigh, “The Xiao Family is really unlucly, getting such a daughter-in-law!”
“Well, Su Qingyue is really something too. The Xiao Family was willing to accept her, and she still doesn’t know what’s good for her, trying to commit suicide…” Wang Adou, who had originally planned to go home, hurried over to watch the commotion when he heard that someone wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. It was a big event in the village. In his hand, he still held the piece of roe deer meat he had just bought from the Xiao Family.
Another villager standing nearby spoke up fairly, “The third son of the Xiao Family faints easily, the fourth son is a paralyzed guy, and even the relatively normal second son had half his face ruined by bear blind. What kind of daughter-in-law can they get? It’s good enough to have a woman. Don’t even think about it, even if it’s a woman bought from outside, like the eldest sister of the Xiao Family – Xiao Ailiu. She’s been married for so many years and never came back, right?”
“Who dares to come back? If Ailiu comes back, the Xiao Family’s brothers might ask for her help. She’s a married woman, and with the situation of the Xiao Family, she can’t do much for her three brothers like this. Even if she’s willing to help, her husband’s family would definitely not let her interfere. Not coming back actually saves trouble…”
Some people recalled, “Speaking of the Xiao Family’s women, I remember that the Xiao Family had a child bride before, I think her name was… something Ju.”
“Her name was Xiao Qiuju.” Wang Qi said, “You can’t really say she was the Xiao
Family’s child bride. Xiao Qiuju was a daughter of the neighboring village Zhu Family, her name was Zhu Qiujie.. The Zhu Family was also poor,
