He only laughed without a word. It seemed his wife was incredibly full of energy. Despite her face still being covered with so many pimples and being too thin, he found himself growing fonder of her more he looked at her. Furthermore, he realized that her skin was a lot more discoloured.

She was at the moment washing dishes with her back towards him, and he was observing her neck skin from the side. Her complexion was so yellow it was nearly white.

Before, his wife’s skin was as black as charcoal.

When thinking of how the villagers said that when his wife was in the Zhu Family, the Old Lady of the Zhu family treated her like a slave, that practically all the fieldwork was done by her alone, he suddenly felt, his wife was tanned, her original skin must have been pretty fair.

He should discuss this with his second and third brothers so that his wife could take proper rest and prevent her from tanning any further…

Thinking about her possibly leaving tomorrow…

His gaze dimmed a little. He paid close attention to her every move, trying to remember everything. If she were to leave, he would think about her every day, every moment, “Wife, how would I bear to scold you? It’s not enough to just care for you. Unfortunately, I have the will but not the strength.”

Even if Su Qingyue did not turn around, she knew that Xiao Qinghe was watching her all the time. Even washing dishes made her feel happy. Being looked at had its own charm.

They coexisted happily in the silent atmosphere.

After finishing her work in the kitchen, Su Qingyue carried Xiao Qinghe back to the room.

“It’s pitch black. Xiao Qinghe, I don’t have wolf eyes to see in the dark. If we fall, don’t blame me.” Her clear voice was particularly pleasing to the ear in the night.

Xiao Qinghe understood that she could not hear, he only waved his hand in front of her once they were on the bed, trying to say that he would not blame her.

“You should sleep earlier. The water for a bath is heating up on the stove and is about to boil. I’m going to take a bath.” She looked around, both outside the window and in the room it was pitch black, you can’t see your fingers when you reach out.

It was about eight in the evening, it was indeed a little too early to sleep now.

But in ancient times there was no electricity and not much entertainment.

Perhaps the best entertainment at night was to sleep together and have children.

There seemed to be no oil lamp in the secondary bedroom, but there was a lamp in the master bedroom which was lit while eating dinner in the kitchen.

She originally thought about moving the only oil lamp here, she was going to give the last acupuncture treatment tonight and needed a light, after all, it didn’t matter to Xiao Qinghe on the bed without a light.

Anyway, after she made some money, she would buy another oil lamp for him.

“If you need anything, just yell for me.” She said and then realized that it was herself who had lost her hearing. Even if he yelled, she wouldn’t be able to hear. Sigh.

Being deaf is so inconvenient, one more night was unbearable.

She would start the treatment immediately after taking a bath!

Watching her leave the room, Xiao Qinghe’s gaze continued to follow her figure.

She carefully closed the door behind her.

He watched attentively from the half-opened window in the direction of the kitchen, even though he couldn’t see what she was doing, he continued to look at the direction she was.

He saw her carrying a big bucket of water into the main bedroom and then fetched a big bathtub from the storage room.

He really wished he could help her, but all he could do was watch.

Just like the next day when she came back from the town when the third brother wanted to sell her; him, a useless person, could only sit on the bed and he was unable to stop it. Originally, he thought if the third brother had really decided to do it, even if he was disabled, he would still speak up against him, happily the third brother changed his mind at that time and told the villagers in public that he would not sell her again.

After Su Qingyue took a bath, she dumped the bathwater, returned the bucket to the kitchen, and placed the bathtub back in the storage room..
