Chapter 19: 19 Sell Ugly Wife 5

Translator: 549690339

“Old lady Liu, have you taken the wrong medicine? Lady Xiao is both ugly and mute. Is she worth seventeen taels{ The Xiao Family will deduct the principal and still make a profit of 1 tael!”

Old lady Liu had a knack for judging people and always felt that Lady Xiao wasn’t that simple. She believed purchasing her for seventeen taels wouldn’t be a loss, but she didn’t want to say it out loud, lest other human traders offered higher prices, “I’m just helping the Xiao Family.”

“Do you really have such a kind heart?” No one believed that. People with a conscience wouldn’t have the heart to become human traders.

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes were bloodshot with anger, “Old lady Liu, listen closely! No matter how much money you offer, I won’t sell her! If you dare to talk about buying her again, I’ll burn down your house!”

Old lady Liu was startled and angrily waved her handkerchief, “Yesterday, you were the one who wanted to sell your wife. Today, you’re the one who refuses to sell her at all costs. Are you mentally ill?”

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t know what was wrong with himself. Yesterday, he was thinking of selling Su Qingyue for three to five taels and didn’t want to keep her at home. But today…

He turned his head to look at her, but she seemed unaffected by the chaotic situation, remaining calm and composed, like the wind and clouds on the horizon.

His heart suddenly ached, and he walked up to her, fiercely slapping his own face, “I’m sorry!”

She looked at him with surprise as his actions, not understanding the reason behind them. Were his eyes filled with star-like brilliance? Why was he slapping his own face? His mouth was bleeding from the heavy slap.

“What’s gotten into you, Chuan? Why are you slapping yourself in the face?”

“Did Chuan get possessed?” The villagers were about to leave, but they were surprised by Chuan’s actions.

Su Qingyue was initially suspicious that the benefactor’s younger brother was going to sell her. Seeing him fighting with others for her sake, she thought she might have guessed wrong. Why would he help her if he wanted to sell her?

Maybe it was because she was beaten half to death yesterday that not only her body hurt, but her head also ached. So she didn’t pay attention to people’s lips, and she didn’t know what they were saying.

Seeing him apologize, she didn’t react. She wasn’t a saint, and she was a ruthless killer. It was quite an extreme profession – she had killed many people during her missions, yet she was also a doctor who saved many lives in her daily life.

Since someone apologized, he must have done something wrong.

Since she didn’t know what happened, she wouldn’t casually say whether she forgives him or not.

So she simply stayed silent.

The villagers were not only surprised by Chuan slapping himself but also felt that not selling the mute and ugly woman for seventeen taels was ungrateful.

They were all talking at once, “Seventeen taels. Subtracting the principal, the Xiao Family could still make a profit of 1 tael. Such an ugly woman, he must be possessed if he’s not selling her…”

Aunt Zhang, however, made a rational remark, “Now that he doesn’t want to sell his wife, it shows he still has a conscience. Why are you people like this? Do you only feel happy when someone sells their wife? Do you think everyone is as heartless as you are?”

Several men standing nearby looked a little uncomfortable. One of them said, “What nonsense are you talking about, the Zhang’s family? It’s not me who wants to sell his wife…”

Xiao Yuchuan saw that his wife didn’t speak, thinking she was still angry. He slapped his face again, “Don’t be mad… it’s my fault… I was wrong!”

She still didn’t react.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Xiao Yuchuan continued to slap himself, his force strong enough to make the observers wince in pain..
