Xiao Yuchuan could see that she didn't like to drink the medicine, but she didn't waste a single drop. He guessed it was because she knew the medicine was expensive, and she wouldn't get better without it.
Damn it, he even thought her actions were graceful. Wasn't she just an illiterate village girl who had been sold twice?
After finishing the medicine, Su Qingyue tried to scoop some rice, but her claws were burnt black, with mud in her nails, so she embarrassingly retracted her hand.
Xiao Yuchuan laughed at her movements, "Stinky old woman, do you realize you're dirty? You're not just dirty, but also smelly. It's making me lose my appetite, and I can only eat half a bowl of rice. Speaking of rice, it was Second Brother who cooked it specially for you last night. Normally, we'd only have porridge in the morning, eating rice would waste too much food."
Su Qingyue didn't know what he was chattering about, but just by looking at his mocking expression, she knew he was ridiculing her for being dirty.
She rolled her eyes at him.
It wasn't that she didn't want to wash her hands or take a bath, but when she went to the kitchen, she saw there was no water left in the water jar, and there was no well in the yard. She wanted to wash her hands before eating, but she couldn't find any water.
Receiving her rolling eyes, Xiao Yuchuan didn't mind and showed a bright smile with his white teeth.
His teeth were clean, white, and neat, and they looked really nice. But she felt a little uncomfortable because her own teeth were sticky with food stuck between them, and she didn't know how long the original owner hadn't brushed her teeth.
Exhaling, she thought... what a stinky breath, so bad that even she couldn't bear it and waved in front of her with her uninjured left hand.
Damn it, a foul breath.
Her face changed, and she suddenly lost her appetite for dinner.
Xiao Yuchuan watched her actions, apparently hating her own smell, he laughed mischievously, "Ha ha, now you know how stinky you are, huh? You're disgusting. Luckily, I won't stoop to your level, otherwise, I would have dragged you out of here."
She gave him a dagger-like glance. How dared he mock her twice! If it weren't for his being the benefactor's younger brother and offering her food and medicine, she would have tied him to a tree and taught him a lesson.
She was cursing him in her heart.
Xiao Yuchuan wasn't scared by her fierce eyes. Instead, he found her expressions rich and quite amusing, "Hey, I say, stinky old woman, why didn't I realize how fun you were before? It's a pity you're mute, otherwise, I wonder how poisonous your tongue would be? Being mute means you can only take insults without being able to retort. Got it?"
Little did he know, Su Qingyue was deaf but could actually speak. The current Su Qingyue could speak, while the former "she" could speak in her childhood but lost her voice due to being traumatized and remained mute ever since.
Now, Qingyue hadn't experienced any frights, and her throat was fine, so she could speak naturally.
She could tell that the man in front of her despised her. She didn't like those who looked down on her, and so naturally, she had no intention of talking with him.
After Yuchuan finished speaking, he suddenly startled. "Later"...he actually thought about "later"...
Didn't he firmly want to sell her before she woke up last night and this morning?
Looking at her face, the skin was dark, and there were a lot of acnes on her face. Some of them even turned into pus, making her extremely ugly. However, her eyes were clear and pure like water, inexplicably making people feel at ease.
This made him... reluctant to sell her.
Seeing how thin she was, he frowned, scooped a bowl of rice, and put it heavily in front of her, "Eat up, you're nothing but bones. People might think that the Xiao Family is mistreating you."
