“Could it be for one of the girls here?”

The only unmarried girl washing clothes by the riverbank was Liu Xiaohong from the Liu Family. In an instant, everyone’s gaze turned to Liu Xiaohong.

Li Gui’s family was well-off, and he was quite handsome, so Liu Xiaohong naturally wanted to marry him. Xiaohong said coyly, “Auntie Hua, what are you talking about? Li Gui has high standards and is known for being picky when choosing a wife. He wouldn’t like me.”

Li Gui didn’t want to ruin his reputation either, “Sister Hong is a good person, and in the future, there’ll be many candidates with better conditions than me coming to propose marriage. Auntie Hua, I just came to wash my hands, don’t misunderstand.”

The meaning behind his words was clear – he was not interested in Liu Xiaohong.

Liu Xiaohong’s delicate face turned pale, her lips clenched, and her clothes washing strength increased.

Auntie Hua felt awkward and did not continue speaking. She glanced at Su Qingyue twenty meters away and then at Li Gui, thinking that it may have been a coincidence. Li Gui didn’t have any interest in the Liu Family’s cousins, Liu Xianglian, who was quite pretty, and Liu Xiaohong. The Xiao Family’s daughter-in-law already had a husband, so Li Gui wouldn’t show any interest.

Li Gui knew these women loved to gossip and was afraid of being talked about, so he dared not look at Su Qingyue too much.

He followed her only after she finished washing the toilet bucket and went back. When passing by the Xiao Family’s courtyard, he stood outside, wanting to take another look at her.

Su Qingyue placed the cleaned toilet bucket back at the foot of the bed in the secondary bedroom.

She lifted her head and saw Xiao Qinghe’s lips saying two words.

She knew it was “thank you”.

She smiled slightly, “We’re family; there’s no need to be so polite.”

Xiao Qinghe felt both happy and lost at the same time. He was happy that she regarded him as family, but he was not her husband. In fact, he wanted her to acknowledge that they were husband and wife.

“Qing… Qingyue, take a rest for a while; don’t tire yourself out.” He spoke carefully. Addressing her as Qingyue should be alright, right? Even second brother could only call her Yue’er; he had no right to call her his wife.

As he spoke while she looked at him, she could clearly see his lips forming the words, “I’m not tired, just a bit thirsty. Can I have some water?”

Without waiting for his response, she directly picked up the water pot trom the table. The weight told her it was empty before she even tried to pour water.

“There’s no water left…” His voice was timid.

She looked at his slightly dry lips; he probably hadn’t had water for half a day but didn’t say anything, perhaps because he was too shy. Though he was her brother-in-law, she felt a bit guilty at that moment, “If you need anything in the future, just tell me directly; don’t be polite.”

She walked out the door towards the kitchen, carrying the water pot.

Xiao Qinghe was surprised by her words. He gazed at her leaving figure and said softly, “My only wish is for you to stay in this family, and for us to be a real husband and wife. But it’s a pity…”

If even the handsome third brother can’t keep her, let alone he was disabled.

As Su Qingyue was about to enter the kitchen, she caught sight of the figure outside the courtyard.

It was Li Gui again.

Li Gui’s eyes lit up when he saw Su Qingyue come out.

However, Su Qingyue furrowed her brows. She wasn’t sure before, but now, from his surprised gaze, she was sure that this man had not only changed his destination to follow her to the riverbank, but also had come all the way to her doorstep.

She simply walked towards him.

Seeing her approach, Li Gui’s heart started pounding.

She looked at his slightly nervous expression through the fence, “Do you need anything?”
