Chapter 535: 535 The truth comes to light 2
After not walking too far, a woman up ahead was headed in the same direction.
She glanced back at the horse-drawn cart, took a few steps, looked back again, and then rushed towards the cart with surprise, “Xiao… wife of the Xiao Family!”
Su Qingyue took a look at her and recognized her as Qian Zhang’s wife, and indifferently nodded.
She didn’t plan on stopping the cart for her.
Qian Zhang’s wife was a genuine village woman, used to doing farm work and quite strong.
The cart was not moving fast, so she walked alongside it. Since she wasn’t carrying anything and the cart had no carriage, she supported herself with one hand on the flatbed, pushed off with her buttocks against it, and sat on the cart at an angle. Then, she voluntarily lifted both legs onto the cart as well.
Su Qingyue didn’t like her uninvited boarding of the cart. Seeing her fourth brother didn’t say anything, she also kept quiet.
Qian Zhang’s wife kept touching the material of the cart, “This cart is made of good stuff eh, so sturdy!” Her small eyes were full of envy, “Never thought, wife of the Xiao Family, you can drive a carriage too. Whose carriage is this? Did you borrow it?”
“Bought it.” she said flatly.
“Where did you get so much money to buy it?” Qian Zhang’s wife was jealous to the point of death, kept touching the cart’s material, glanced at Xiao Qinghe, looked disgustingly at his disabled legs, and her gaze fell on the wheelchair on the cart, “I heard you bought Xiao Qinghe a wheelchair and it’s true. I was thinking of going to your house to take a look, didn’t expect to meet you on the road. I’m going back to the village, so would you mind giving me a ride?”
As she reached out to touch the wheelchair, Xiao Qinghe coughed unhappily, “Don’t touch it.”
“Fine, I won’t touch it.” Qian Zhang’s wife looked disdainfully at his legs again, “Only disabled people need wheelchairs…”
Xiao Qinghe felt uncomfortable being talked about like this by Qian Zhang’s wife.
He knew his legs were useless, but most people wouldn’t say such embarrassing things to his face.
Qian Zhang’s wife was a loose-talking person who also liked to take advantage of others, truly annoying.
“Hmph!” Su Qingyue pulled the reins tightly, and the cart came to a halt.
“Why did you stop?” Qian Zhang’s wife asked.
Su Qingyue glanced back coldly, “Get off!”
“What did you say!” Qian Zhang’s wife bellowed.
“I told you to get off the cart.”
“We’re from the same village, seeing each other all the time, Su Qingyue, how could you do this?”
“You know we’re from the same village, always seeing each other, right?” she said indifferently, “Who allowed you to talk about my fourth brother like that?”
“What did I say about him?” Qian Zhang’s wife raised her throat, “All I said was that he’s a cripple… he is a cripple, after all…”
Su Qingyue grabbed Qian Zhang’s wife by the collar and threw her out with force, tossing her like trash to the side of the road.
“Ouch!” A miserable scream came from Qian Zhang’s wife.
Xiao Qinghe was speechless at his wife’s actions.
Su Qingyue, without even looking, continued driving the cart forward.
Qingyue … Qinghe turned back and looked at the wailing Qian Zhang’s wife at the side of the road, cursing nasty words constantly.
He didn’t want to interfere with her cursing, but he was afraid she might actually get hurt, “Is Qian Zhang’s wife alright… will it cause any harm?”
“There was a pile of mud right in the spot she landed – she won’t be too hurt. She’s all talk and no action, just some minor injuries.” She said nonchalantly, “Though she’s annoying, I wouldn’t resort to killing her over something so trivial.”
