The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Xiao Qinghe, seeing his wife so indifferent to other people’s pointing, thought if his wife didn’t mind then he shouldn’t let it bother him. After being teased by her again, he blushed and nodded.

A seven or eight-year-old boy blocked Xiao Qinghe’s way, and with a childish voice asked, “Big Brother, why are you sitting on a chair?”

Seeing a child blocking their way, Su Qingyue stopped and explained when she saw Qinghe’s gaze dimmed due to the child’s question, “Because his legs are injured.”

“Oh.” The boy pointed at the wheelchair, “Why does his chair move?”

“Because there are two wheels on the chair.” Su Qingyue answered without impatience, “Just like the wheels on a carriage.”

The child’s gaze moved to Su Qingyue’s face, and he was startled, “Big Sister, your face is so ugly!”

She choked, “You’re just a kid, you don’t understand beauty. I don’t blame you.”

The boy stepped back in fright, “Why do you answer all my questions to Big Brother? Is he mute?”

Xiao Qinghe gave a faint smile.

Su Qingyue rolled her eyes, “He’s not mute, he’s with me!”

“What does that mean?” The boy tilted his head and thought, then pointed at Su Qingyue and asked Xiao Qinghe, “Big Brother, is she your wife?”

Su Qingyue was about to say no.

But Xiao Qinghe blushed and nodded.

She stared in surprise.

How could Fourth Brother nod?

She’s clearly his sister-in-law!

Looking at his blush-covered handsome face and considering that no one present knew them, she thought Qinghe might want to express his longing for her by letting people misunderstand that she’s his wife.

Seeing his wife looking both surprised and frowning, Qinghe felt that she might be unwilling to admit their relationship, so he moved his lips, “Qingyue, should I not have said that?”

“What do you think?” She looked a bit serious.

His clear eyes filled with sadness in an instant.

Looking at him like this, sulking as if she had stabbed him with a knife, she relented, “Okay, okay.” No one recognized them anyway, and as long as he didn’t look heartbroken, it was fine.

Listening to her stiff acknowledgment, Qinghe’s heart felt a mix of joy and discomfort, “Qing…Qingyue…” He wanted to call her wife, but she seemed unwilling…

The little boy finally understood and said in an enlightened manner, “Oh, Big Brother, so your wife’s name is Qingyue.” He glanced at Su Qingyue and then at Xiao Qinghe, “Big Brother, why are you so handsome and your wife so ugly?”

The fire inside Su Qingyue ignited because of this kid, “You’re the ugly one, you ugly child!”

“You’re the ugly woman! I’m a handsome boy!” The little brat defended himself stubbornly.

“…” Xiao Qinghe was stunned by the child’s question and saw that Qingyue was about to argue with him. He hurriedly said, “My wife is very beautiful.”

It was now Su Qingyue’s turn to be stunned as she glared at Xiao Qinghe.

He had taken advantage of her patience, not exposing his lies, and even had the nerve to call her his wife!

Unbelievable!

Feeling annoyed, she steadied the carrying pole on her shoulder with one hand and pushed back her hair with the other.

A woman ran over, held the boy in her arms, and scolded him as she said, “Mian, what are you doing! Don’t talk to strangers!”
