Su Qingyue saw his look of happiness turn into a calm acceptance with a sort of deathwish, thinking the pig-headed man had gone mad, and burst into laughter once again.

“Wife, you’re overjoyed to hear that I grudgingly accept to kiss you, aren’t you?” Xiao Yuchuan was very satisfied, “Look at you laughing like a…wild vegetable. I forgive you, you don’t look like a flower, but at least calling you a roadside wild vegetable wouldn’t kill a person. Wife, you don’t know your appearance… alright, alright, I won’t say you’re ugly anymore, I’m afraid I’ll hurt your feelings. As a generous adult, I said I won’t sell you anymore, and I won’t later either. You’ll stay in the Xiao Family as my wife. Remember, if you want me to kiss you later, you must beg me. If you don’t beg me, I won’t even bother!” he said, handing over the willow twig.

This time, Su Qingyue took it. She knew that in ancient times there were no toothbrushes, so people used fresh, slender willow twigs, chewing on one end to soften it, as a toothbrush.

Earlier, she didn’t take it because she was waiting for him to give her some sort of toothpaste-like substance. Of course, there wasn’t any toothpaste here, but at least something to clean her mouth would be good.

Xiao Yuchuan carried two tubs of water into the kitchen and poured them into the water jar, then scooped up a ladle of water with a wooden ladle, took another willow branch, and walked into the yard. He had a mouthful of saliva and began to carefully clean his teeth.

Su Qingyue stared at the entire process, using only the chewed-up willow twig in water without anything else. Wasn’t that a bit too frugal?

Well, this family was quite poor, so it made sense that they needed to economize.

She knew that some ancient people would use salt as a replacement for toothpaste.

“Wife, why are you staring at me like that? I know your husband is handsome, and you must like me a lot!” Xiao Yuchuan said after cleaning his teeth, smiling with a mouth full of bright white teeth despite his swollen pig head, looking quite neat.

Seeing his bright, white teeth, Su Qingyue thought of her own sticky teeth that hadn’t been brushed for a long time and was filled with envy. She wanted to pull out all his teeth and put them in her own mouth… ah, gross!

Such thinking was not good. The thought of putting someone else’s teeth in her mouth made her scalp tingle. She was just envious and had a silly thought.

Starting today, she would take good care of her own teeth.

Looking at the chopstick-sized willow twig in her hand, she realized that one wasn’t enough, she’d need at least ten. She shouldn’t have just sat in the yard waiting for this stinky kid, who only gave her one twig and wasted her time.

She turned and walked towards the courtyard exit. Xiao Yuchuan admired her swaying figure and said, “Yo! My dear, are you being shy? Look at how you’re walking, swaying your little frame to seduce me. Let me tell you, I won’t be easily seduced. You need to try harder! ”

Su Qingyue couldn’t hear him, otherwise, she would have definitely had a muscle spasm in her ears. She wasn’t trying to seduce him; she was walking slowly and trembling due to her injury, which he deeply misunderstood.

Xiao Yuchuan placed the wooden ladle back in the kitchen and followed her,

“Where are you going? I’ll accompany you.”

Su Qingyue stopped and raised her hand, pointing to the willow twig in her hand.

He thought she had stopped because of what he said, not knowing that she couldn’t hear, and looking at her movements, he asked, “You’re looking for this? Don’t you have one in your hand? If you want to find more, there are plenty of willow trees by the river at the edge of the village. There’s also a willow tree by the village well. You’re injured, don’t go too far. Let’s go to the village well.. “
