    Zhou Fuquan handed arge package of medicine to Xiao Yishan, who was passing by, “Second Brother Xiao, these are the medicines you asked me to buy for you this morning.”


    Xiao Yishan took them, “Thank you.”


    Zhou Fuquan grinned, “Don’t mention it, Second Brother. I grew up ying with Yuchuan, so we’re good buddies. This small favor is nothing. Just call on me if you need anything in the future.”


    Hearing this, Xiao Yuchuan felt a bit embarrassed as he had been injured by Second Brother and hid the fact from him.


    Su Qingyue came out of the main bedroom at this time.


    “Ah, sister-inw!” Zhou Fuquan greeted her warmly.


    There was no light in the yard, so Su Qingyue couldn’t “hear” him and only saw him waving hello. She responded with a smile.


    “Wife, haven’t you gone to sleep? Why did youe out again?” Xiao Yishan asked, remembering that she couldn’t speak. “If you can’t sleep now, you can rest in the yard for a while. Fuquan helped to get Fourth Brother’s medicine; he hasn’t taken any for a few days, and he is in a lot of pain. I’ll go to decoct the medicine for Fourth Brother first.” He then carried therge package of medicine into the kitchen.


    Qingyue didn’t recognize any of the vigers in the yard, but she guessed that the medicine bag Xiao Yishan was holding had just been delivered by him. She had already taken her medicine tonight, so this medicine must have been for the patient living in the secondary bedroom.


    Zhou Fuquan looked at Su Qingyue’s slender back and said to Xiao Yuchuan, “Chuan, I heard vigers say that your wife jumped into the river because of the issue between you and Liu Xianglian? I didn’t expect that your wife is such a jealous woman. On my way here, I also heard that Liu Xianglian’s power-hungry mother was cursing you loudly at her home, saying that you’re a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and the neighbors have been listening for a while. Olddy Liu has even locked Liu Xianglian in the house and won’t let her out.”


    Xiao Yuchuan was very unhappy to hear this, “To hell with them, I have a wife now, who the hell would want that Liu Xianglian?”


    “Chuan, your family’s situation…” Zhou Fuquan nced at the Xiao Family’s old mud-brick house, especially staring at the room where Xiao Qinghe, the fourth son of the Xiao Family, was living. “I also heard that olddy Liu wanted to pay seventeen taels of silver to buy your wife, but now she refuses to buy her. Actually, although seventeen taels is a lot, it’s not much to buy a wife. The price for an unattractive wife would be at least thirty taels, and a slightly better one would cost forty to fifty taels. Your wife… isn’t good-looking, but she’s still worth seventeen taels. In case you sell her at this price and want another one, this amount of silver won’t be enough.”


    “Enough, I never had any intention of selling my wife in the first ce.” “But everyone says you invited olddy Liu toe here…”


    “I…” Xiao Yuchuan didn’t really know what to say. “Anyway, I’ll never think about selling her again.”


    “That’s good…” Zhou Fuquan nced back at Su Qingyue’s figure in the kitchen, “Your wife seems to have changed a bit… Oh, right, she doesn’t stink anymore. When she just walked past, I couldn’t smell anything. Before I met her a few times, the smell could be detected from a distance.”


    “She took a bath…” Yuchuan blushed for some reason.


    “Oh, mentioning your wife taking a bath makes you shy!” Zhou Fuquan whispered, “Your wife is so thin, can she take it at night? And with Second Brother’s size, it looks like he could crush her to death…” He sighed, “Your family has no choice but to share a wife among the three sons. Luckily, there are quite a few poor households in Wushan Vige that also share a wife. It’s already good that your family with this situation has a wife.
