Chapter 210 - 210: 210 Honest people suffer disadvantages
“Nonsense.” She glanced at the comb in his hand, “Where did you get this comb?”
“I stole it.” He grinned, raising the comb in his hand, and handed it to her, “Wife, it’s for you.”
She didn’t take it, “You’ve been a robber? I don’t want something stolen.”
“If I were a robber, then you would be a robber’s wife.” He grabbed her little hand and wrapped it around the comb, “The other day when I came back late from selling goods, I went to town not only to buy a jin of pork but mainly to buy this comb for you.”
As he spoke, he looked apologetic and took her hand, kissing the back of it, “These days… I’ve noticed that every morning you comb your hair with your fingers. Wife, it’s my fault for not being able to buy you a comb. I’ve wanted to buy you one for a while, but these days it’s always my second brother who’s been making money. I wanted to give you a comb with my own money, so I didn’t buy it until the day before yesterday when I’d earned thirty copper coins and went to town to buy you a wooden comb for nine cents.”
She withdrew her kissed hand and lightly rubbed the back of it with her other hand, “Giving me a comb is one thing, but there’s no need for you to randomly kiss.”
“I only kissed the back of your hand, which is already being polite.” He stared at her lips, “Wife, I want to kiss your little mouth too.”
“Who said that if I didn’t beg you, you wouldn’t kiss me?”
He immediately became serious, “I definitely wouldn’t say that!” He would never admit that he had kissed her small mouth when she had a fever that night. It tasted sweet and his heart ached with longing. If he had known that his wife’s little mouth tasted so good, he would never have asked her to beg him to kiss her.
Understanding, she nodded, “Yes, those words were not spoken by you. They were spoken by a dog.”
“Wife, I’m not a dog…”
“Then you are a pig.”
“Oink oink!” He immediately imitated the sound of a pig, making her unable to hold back her laughter.
He happily said, “Wife, you’re smiling. So, my words about begging to kiss me don’t count anymore…”
“They count. A gentleman’s word is his bond.”
“But I’m not a gentleman, I am…” He frowned, not willing to call himself a base person.
“Someone who doesn’t keep his word is not a man.” She added.
He immediately protested, “Wife, if you want to see if I’m a man or not, just touch me and see. Just one glance at your little mouth, and I’m hard already…” He grabbed her little hand and guided it towards his lower body.
“Ahem!” Xiao Yishan, who had just carried a load of water into the house, coughed loudly with a straight face.
Su Qingyue quickly pulled her hand back, frightened.
Xiao Yuchuan was unhappy and glanced at his second brother, “Second brother, why would you come back at this time? My wife was just about to touch me.”
Su Qingyue’s face darkened, “Don’t talk nonsense, when did I want to touch you? It was you who was being indecent.”
Xiao Yishan clearly believed Qingyue, as he only gave his third brother a cold glance, “Don’t always be so frivolous.”
“Second brother, just because you’re the elder brother doesn’t mean you’re always right.” Xiao Yuchuan snorted, “What husband in the world acts proper towards his wife?”
Yishan couldn’t argue. He actually wished he could be like his third brother, who shamelessly flirted with his wife and ate her Tofu, but he just couldn’t do it…
Xiao Yuchuan even started lecturing his second brother, “Second brother, in these times, honest people are always at a disadvantage.”
“…” Xiao Yishan silently poured the water from the two buckets into the large water jar one by one, “We need another load of water to fill the jar. You’re going to carry the rest of the water..”
