Xiao Yishan stood up, “Li Gui, let’s have some dinner together.” Glancing at the nearly-empty bowl of pork on the table, he said to Xiao Yuchuan, “Third brother, why not fry up some more vegetables? Cook a bowl of the wild rabbit meat I got today.”

Xiao Yuchuan remained standing still. Last time, by the river, Li Gui had been staring at his wife, making him feel like Li Gui was trying to steal her away. He had no good feelings towards Li Gui. If his second brother knew about this, he probably wouldn’t be in the mood to entertain him either. “Second brother, Li Gui’s family is wealthy. At this hour, they must have already eaten.” “I appreciate your kindness, Second Brother Xiao,” said Li Gui politely. “I’ve already had dinner.”

“So, what brings you to our house?” Xiao Yuchuan glared at him. “Could it be that you’re here to settle the score after I poured that bucket of cold water on your brother Li Cai last time?”

“It’s not that,” Li Gui’s face showed remorse. “Last time, my brother Li Cai was out of line for talking about Qingyue. He deserved to be splashed with water by you. I’ve already scolded him.”

“Is that so?” Xiao Yuchuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, “Qingyue… Qingyue is for you to call, too? She’s my wife, when did I allow you to call her like that?”

“Uh… We all live in Wushan Village—it’s just a way of addressing each other. No need to mind it.”

“There are many households in Wushan Village, and our families are not close.

Just say it directly, what do you want?”

Li Gui’s gaze fell on Su Qingyue. She was sitting in front of the dining table, her

back towards him. After glancing at her slender back, he looked away, “Last time, you tried to sell Su Qingyue—old lady Liu offered seventeen taels.”

Upon hearing his words, Su Qingyue recalled the day after they returned from the town, when a large group of villagers had gathered to watch the spectacle.

An old woman had even appraised her as if she were goods.

At that time, she felt that Xiao Yuchuan was trying to sell her, but she thought she was a guest in the house and believed that he wouldn’t sell her like that.

Such a clever little guy, he was really planning to sell her off!

She shot a sharp glare at Xiao Yuchuan.

Xiao Yuchuan received his wife’s murderous look and his heart trembled. “Wife, you can hear?”

She retorted, “Stop asking pointless questions,” adding a scolding, but without answering his question directly.

He naturally still thought she was deaf and was somewhat relieved that she couldn’t hear. If she knew that he wanted to sell her before, she wouldn’t… Looking at her calm appearance again…

He didn’t know what she might do.

Li Gui, on the other hand, was surprised. “Chuan, didn’t the villagers say that your wife’s deafness and muteness were cured?” “She’s not mute anymore, but still deaf.”

“But she can clearly talk to us…”

“My wife’s eyes are good, she can understand people’s speech by reading their lips.”

Li Gui was even more astonished. “She can do that?”

“Enough chit-chat, get to the point and tell us your business.”

Li Gui took a silver bag from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the table. “This is fifty taels of silver. I want to buy Su Qingyue.”

As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the kitchen instantly stiffened; even the sound of people breathing could be heard clearly.

Su Qingyue glanced at Second Brother, noticing his gloomy face and clenched fists, as if he were about to pummel someone. She then looked at Xiao Yuchuan, whose face was also extremely stiff.

It seemed like these two men were not happy about it.

She took the initiative to pick up the silver bag from the table and weighed it. “Fifty taels, it’s a bit heavy.” Casting a glance at Li Gui, she recalled that he was the one who had followed her from the river bank last time.

No wonder he dared to follow her like that—it turned out that he intended to pay a high price to buy her.. “Just a deaf person, and with my appearance, are you sure you want to spend fifty taels?”
