“What nonsense are you talking about?” she scowled at him, “Just take the

money I’ll give you ana go mre a prostitute tomorrow!”

Seeing her so angry, he was amused instead, “Wife, I can’t walk. I have no strength left, how can I go?”

“The same way you got into the secondary bedroom, that’s how you will go hire a prostitute.”

He honestly replied, “I crawled here. The two rooms were close so I managed to crawl, but the town is too far away. I’m afraid I’ll tire out just getting out of the yard, let alone getting all the way there. Or, dear, how about you carry me there tomorrow?”

“In your dreams!” she glared at him.

He tenderly touched her little face, “Dearest, don’t be angry. Look, even your recently-healed pus sores are getting worse because of your anger…” “Shut your wretched mouth!” she threatened.

Frightened by her ferocious eyes, he quickly shut his mouth.

Looking around the room and finding no hiding place, he asked, “Wife, how did you suddenly appear behind me just now? Weren’t you sleeping on the bed?

Where were you hiding earlier?”

“If I tell you, we will call off our gambling agreement…

“You can keep those three words — ‘In your dreams’!” he refused, “If you’re not going to tell me, forget it.”

“Then I won’t say anything.” She wouldn’t reveal her secret of hiding on the beam. She reiterated seriously, “When I said I would pay for you to hire a prostitute, I meant it. I, Su Qingyue, am a woman of my word.”

“I’m waiting for the good woman to give me the money…” His voice was much quieter.

She was filled with pent-up frustration.

The idea of hitting someone, even killing them, crossed her mind…

Even counting the money became an irksome task for her.

Seeing her angry expression, Xiao Yuchuan teased, “Wife, if the money in your hands were soft, you would’ve made it flat by now…”

“Really?” The more she counted, the more she found the money adorable. She took each silver ingot worth ten taels and put them into her sleeve pocket. Unfortunately, she only had three. She wished she had more to store away.

Seeing her put away the last silver ingot, Xiao Yuchuan said with an awkward smile, “Wife, actually, hiring a prostitute isn’t that expensive. If you’re willing to give me more, that would be great…”

“You already said it’s not that expensive.” She replied seriously, “So I’ll just give you change.”

“Sounds good.” Xiao Yuchuan nodded, “After all, it’s not easy for you to earn money. I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve counted the money you’ve earned.”

“I just finished counting it. It hasn’t been counted many times.” She took another piece of thread and started counting and stringing the copper coins together one by one.

Four hundred should be half a tael, right?

Seeing that she had strung three hundred of them, Xiao Yuchuan quickly interrupted, “Wife, I think we should be more economical. Three hundred is already quite a lot.”

“It’s not too many, it’s not…” she insisted. novelbuddy.cσ๓

“It is a lot…” he countered.

When she finished stringing the three hundred and ninety-fifth coin, she tied the string into a knot and handed it to Xiao Yuchuan.

Just as he was about to accept the string of coins, she swiftly put it back into her sleeve pocket.

She thought to herself that this must be why the pockets on ancient sleeves were made so large — to conveniently hold money.

He looked disappointed, “Wife, didn’t you say you were going to give me money?”

“Yes, I did.” She agreed wholeheartedly, picking up the last five copper coins from the bed and generously handing them over to him, “Here, all this money is for you. Go and have fun, third brother! Don’t hold back on my account!”

Holding the five copper coins in his hand, Xiao Yuchuan complained, “Wife, you’re really ‘generous’..”
