Chapter 101: 101 Treat Deafness 2

Receiving no response, Yuchuan found it uninteresting and went back to his room to quickly sew and embroider.

Su Qingyue glanced at the two pheasants that second brother hasn’t sold. She knew he deliberately left them behind for her to replenish her health, just like last time, so she could only sigh in her heart.

Xiao Yuchuan cooked lunch when it was almost noon. As usual, he only cooked for Su Qingyue.

Su Qingyue’s internal injury had already healed, and originally, families would skip lunch to save food. She should have followed suit, but in order to be a shameless woman, she selfishly ate it herself.

In the room, Xiao Yishan spoke a few words with Xiao Yuchuan.

After Qingyue had finished eating, Yishan took her hand and walked outside. At the entrance of the courtyard, Yuchuan was also waiting with a bag of things.

It seemed that they wanted her to go out with them.

She obediently followed behind the two brothers.

On the road, villager Li Wangcai saw them and asked, “Yo, Dashan, Chuan, are you guys heading to town?”

“Yes.” Yuchuan replied.

“You even brought your wife, are you going to sell her?” Li Wangcai disdainfully glanced at Su Qingyue, “It’s good to sell her now, I heard Granny Sun say that your wife is deaf. She’s gone from being mute to deaf and dumb, becoming a completely useless person. Wouldn’t it have been better to sell her earlier? She’s not worth much now…

Before Yuchuan could scold him, Yishan glared, “Are you looking for death? Who told you that we’re selling our wife? I’m taking my wife to town to see a doctor. She will definitely be cured!”

Li Wangcai shrank back at Yishan’s fierce gaze, grumbling, “Why so fierce?

Granny Sun said your wife can’t be cured, you’re just wasting money…”

Yuchuan said angrily, “My family loves spending money on our wife, so what?”

“Your fourth brother’s medicine is running out, right? Your family should have made about three taels of silver from today’s sale of prey. It takes two taels to buy twenty days’ worth of medicine for your fourth brother, and one more tael for a month’s supply of food. You won’t have anything left to spend on your wife. It’s laughable that you even said you love spending money on her…” Before Li Wangcai could finish, he saw Chuan coming over to fight and remembered his previous fights with Shi Cai and Zhao Shugen, he ran away in fear.

Yishan took Su Qingyue’s hand and led her toward the edge of the village.

Along the way, they met several villagers, many of whom said similar things to Li Wangcai, and even more gossiped about Su Qingyue becoming deaf in addition to being mute.

The news had already spread throughout the village. Those with a conscience said she was pitiful, being deaf, mute, and ugly. Those without a conscience were happy at her misfortune,

Su Qingyue knew that people were pointing and whispering about her all along the way. She didn’t look at what others were saying because to do that she would have to stare at their mouths. She didn’t have that kind of interest and besides, her deafness was temporary. She didn’t need to look to know that they were laughing at her.

Her little hand was held tightly by second brother’s big palm. His palm was thick and calloused, rough to the touch, but it gave her a sense of security.

The three of them gradually walked further away from the village.

Qingyue saw a few people on the road who were returning to the village carrying goods that were only sold outside.

She knew that second brother and his younger brother were taking her to town.

She didn’t understand what they were taking her for. Did they find her a burden and wanted to get rid of her?

She glanced at the side profile of her second brother, the left side of his face covered with scars from a bear’s attack, which looked quite frightening at first sight.

Her side profession was as a doctor, and she had grown accustomed to treating patients with missing limbs..
