The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

But she didn’t know what their names were.

Wang Cuihua, washing her clothes with soap pod juice, wiped away her sweat and smiled. “Qingyue, are you out for a walk? Is your health better lately?”

Facing her enthusiasm and reading her lips, Su Qingyue didn’t recognize her but still smiled and nodded.

Liu Xianglian watched Xiao Yuchuan and Su Qingyue walking together, one handsome, the other delicate and exquisite. Even though Su Qingyue was wearing men’s clothes, her figure had improved immensely. Probably the Xiao Family took good care of her.

Her heart thumped as she looked at Yuchuan’s handsome face. She had heard that he had fought for the lowly Su Qingyue a few times. She wouldn’t be stupid enough to insult his wife in front of him. “Brother Chuan, Granny Sun says that your wife will be deaf for the rest of her life and there’s no cure. She was already mute, now deaf too, and her looks… Brother Chuan, I really pity you.”

What did that woman say? Su Qingyue felt that something was wrong with the last sentence. Shouldn’t she, Su Qingyue, be the one getting the pity? Giving the petty cat a glance, why did it suddenly change to him?

She shifted her gaze back to Liu Xianglian, seeing her shy appearance, obviously secretly in love with Xiao Yuchuan.

“What are you even talking about?” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t want to bother with her. “What’s there for me to feel pitiful about?”

Liu Xianglian bit her lip. “Brother Chuan, you’re so handsome, and yet you’re married to the first ugliest woman everywhere. She’s deaf and mute, in what way is she worthy of you?”

Su Qingyue frowned, this woman said a bunch of things that seemed to undermine her. “If I’m not worthy of Xiao Yuchuan, why don’t you try to be worthy of him? Judging by your appearance, were you ever married? If you were married but still looking at other men so blatantly, you’d be quite promiscuous!”

“Su Qingyue, you!” Liu Xianglian was infuriated by her words, suddenly widening her eyes and tremblingly pointing at her, “You… Can you talk?”

The other women and wives by the riverbank also stopped washing their clothes and stared at Su Qingyue, “You can talk now?”

“Is it that strange that I can speak?” Qingyue smiled, “Why are you all looking at me like I’m a monster?”

Wang Cuihua happily threw the clothes she was washing back into the wooden basin and excitedly approached Su Qingyue, holding her hand. “Qingyue, you’re not deaf or mute anymore?”

Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, Su Qingyue felt like she was genuinely happy for her as if they had always known each other. “Yes.”

Could it be that the original owner of this body used to be a villager here?

Recalling the villagers’ reactions to her, they either looked down on her or pitied her, but none treated her as a stranger.

She was now ninety-nine percent certain that the original owner of this body must have been from this village.

When she thought about the way the Xiao Family’s men treated her, they never regarded her as a stranger…

It seemed that only she had been foolishly treating herself as a guest…

Her surname was Su, while the Xiao Family’s men had the surname Xiao. She didn’t resemble them and had a different last name, so it was unlikely they were siblings, cousins or even related.

Because the petty cat kept calling her… wife!

She glanced at the petty cat’s handsome but punchable face…

Su Qingyue suddenly felt a bit unsteady.

“What’s so great about being able to talk and not being deaf or mute? Every person has a mouth, who can’t speak?” Liu Xianglian snapped out of it and angrily said, “With which eye did you see me being promiscuous and seducing your man? Not only are you ugly, but your heart is also ugly. You deserve a face full of sores….’
