Chapter 28: 28 misunderstandings

He glanced at her tranquil eyes again; although her face was still too ugly to look at directly, he felt that his wife wouldn’t steal from the family anymore.

Following her gaze, he opened the doors of two wardrobes. Seeing her dirty and smelly appearance, he thought she was looking for clothes to change into.

When he had first brought her back from the Zhu Family, the fierce old lady from there hadn’t allowed her to bring anything but herself and the ragged clothes she had been wearing for who knows how long.

He and his second brother had bought her a new set of clothes, but after she had stolen eight taels of silver and ran away, she had taken the new clothes with her. Now there was nothing in this house that belonged to her.

He handed her one of his own garments, but she just waved her hand. Confused, he asked, “You’re not looking for clothes to change into? Then what are you looking for?”

Seeing that he had taken the initiative to open the cabinets, Su Qingyue simply searched through both of them. Disappointment flashed in her eyes when she couldn’t find what she was looking for.

Observing her disappointed expression, Xiao Yuchuan coldly said, “You’re looking for money, aren’t you? All the money in this house has been stolen by you, and the only bit left I’ve already given to second brother. Our food is running out, so second brother probably took the money with him while hunting, to buy food on the way back.”

Su Qingyue turned to look at his hanging face, not understanding what was wrong with him. Was he angry that she was going through his clothes? Hadn’t he opened the cabinet himself?

With him present, she was just taking a look and didn’t take anything from his cabinet. Would it really warrant such a stinky face?

She was getting a bit angry as well.

She left the room with a straight face.

Xiao Yuchuan was really annoyed this time. His wife didn’t deny it, which meant that she was indeed looking for money. Thinking about her wanting to steal money and run away again, his anger shot up, “Su Qingyue, you stinky old woman, don’t push your luck! If you try to steal money and run away again, don’t blame me for tying you up, locking you in the house, and not letting you out!”

He yelled so loudly that the whole yard, and even a few passing villagers outside the courtyard, could hear. They all sighed that the Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law couldn’t change her thieving ways, and that the Xiao Family must have had bad luck for eight lifetimes to have bought such a wife.

No matter how loud the man in the room yelled, Su Qingyue couldn’t hear him. She was also not feeling well. She simply wanted to find a mirror in the room.

Since she had time-traveled to ancient times, besides seeing her thin body, dark skin, and the sores on her face, she had no idea what she looked like now.

She thought that there must be a woman in this house, and where there was a woman, there would be a mirror.

She just wanted to borrow a mirror to have a look. Was it necessary to make such a stinky face as if she had dug up his ancestral grave?

She didn’t know that there weren’t any feminine things in the room. She guessed that the family’s woman either died, ran away, or was sold.

Being fed and supported by others makes them feel indebted. She had to leave this house as soon as possible to avoid being affected by irrelevant people’s anger.

Without a mirror, what could she use to have a look at her reflection?

Her brain slowly turned, not wanting to think too fast, lest she exacerbate her concussion headache.

Water…

Water could also reflect her appearance.

She immediately thought of the river on the other side of the field ridge.

It was a bit far, and she couldn’t wait any longer.

The water jar in the kitchen!

Eagerly, she ran into the kitchen, stood in front of the water jar, and bent her thin waist to take a look.

Shit, was this even a human?
