Chapter 215 Who Is Your Husband?
Wu Xiyuan just looked at her without saying anything. He wanted to make his silly girl recognize his heart.
Once upon a time, he always thought that she was still young and did not understand the feelings between men and women. After this time he learned that his little girl had grown up.
"Maybe?" Su Jiuyue had some uncertainty, some confusion, and the rest emotions were shyness.
Wu Xiyuan put her in his place and instructed her not to wander off and just wait here for a while.
He went to the teacher to ask for half a day's leave. According to the rules, the teacher would not allow his request, but Wu Xiyuan was very good at his studies and was a disciple of Mr. Kong. So, the teacher would make an exception for him once.
"Go ahead. But don't be late for the class tomorrow morning. Or, I will punish you without mercy."
Seeing that he agreed, Wu Xiyuan happily gave him a student's salute with his two hands crossed, "I'll remember it."
At the same time, the students who lived together with Wu Xiyuan had not yet returned. Their house was not very messy.
Su Jiuyue opened the bag she had been carrying all the way and took out clean sheets and covers and put them on for Wu Xiyuan's bed. She also picked up the dirty clothes that he had put on the bench and put them in the basin, intending to wash them for him.
But thinking that Xiyuan said she was not allowed to wander off and should wait for him here, she put down the things in her hands and curiously looked at their place.
The house looked slightly humble, but it was spacious and bright. The windows were open towards the east. As soon as the sun rose in the morning, the house was bright.
The four desks were placed together, filled with ink, paper, pen, and books. She did not know which one was Wu Xiyuan's and did not dare to touch the desks.
After waiting for a while, someone came back.
Meng Yuchun and fellow students were going out for dinner. Thinking that his clothes were stained with ink, he thought he would come back to change his clothes and then go. However, he did not expect that once he entered the door, there was actually a woman in his place.
A woman?
He froze for a moment. Instantly he retreated from the house, stood outside the door, and looked again. He found that he had not gone to the wrong house.
And then, he stood at the door to keep a proper distance and asked, "Who... Who are you? Why are you in our house?"
Su Jiuyue stood up with some restlessness. Her hands were twisted, "My husband told me to wait for him here..."
"Your husband? Who?" As soon as he heard that the woman was the wife of a fellow student, Meng Yuchun's attitude also became a bit kinder.
The students, who lived in the same room with him, all had wives, except him.
He didn't know who was her husband. She was so beautiful.
Su Jiuyue did not answer, there came a male voice from outside, "My... my wife!"
Wu Xiyuan hurried over. Hearing the question, he hurriedly responded, showing his ownership.
Meng Yuchun secretly complained to himself, 'Comparisons are odious.'
Why was he born with such a good life? So many ladies were falling for him. But he didn't spend much time with women, and his studies were not delayed at all. Even the teacher, who was always strict, often praised him.
He didn't understand why he refused Ms. Guo, who must be so much better than a village woman.
Besides, it was normal for a man to have more than one wife. So what if he married another woman?
But now that he saw his wife's appearance, he understood what Wu Xiyuan had in mind.
This woman can not be compared to those ordinary women. Even the rough clothes and wooden hairpins could not hide her beauty.
The girl looked young. In a few years, she might become even more beautiful.
Seeing Meng Yuchun keep staring at his wife, Wu Xiyuan was not pleased. He immediately stepped forward and blocked his view without a trace.
"Yuchun, why are you back?" Wu Xiyuan asked.
Only then did Meng Yuchun come back to his senses and realized that he had been staring at Wu Xiyuan's wife for too long, which was a bit rude.
He smiled apologetically, "Oh, I almost forgot, I came back to change my clothes. They are waiting for me for a meal!"
Speaking of which, he invited them both, "Do you want to come along?"
Wu Xiyuan shook his head, "No, you guys go ahead."
Come on. It was rare for them to have a chance to spend time alone with Jiuyue. Why would he be willing to let these brats mess up with them?
Su Jiuyue naturally did not object. She didn't know them at all. And she was a woman. It was weird for her to eat with them.
Wu Xiyuan and Su Jiuyue were waiting outside the door. Wu Mengchun went in to change his clothes. His eyes fell on Wu Xiyuan's brand new bed. He couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Look at Xiyuan's wife. Such a wife could bring her husband prestige and good food!
It was really enviable!
Soon, he changed his clothes and came out. As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw the couple outside looking at him at the same time.
Their actions were the same and their expressions were similar. The couple was so alike.
"Well, I've changed my clothes." He said, with both hands clasped, and made a bow to Su Jiuyue, "Mrs. Wu, I'll leave then."
Su Jiuyue, who had always met those rough and spiteful mountain-dwelling natives in the village, was still a little uneasy at being addressed by him in such a civilized manner.
She nodded with restraint, "Sure."
When there were only Wu Xiyuan and Su Jiuyue left in the room, Wu Xiyuan took out a pile of bank notes from the purse he was carrying and handed them to Su Jiuyue.
Su Jiuyue looked at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand. It looked like there were seven or eight sheets.
Looking at the bank notes, all of them were of the denomination of one hundred taels. That was to say, the bank notes in her hand should be seven or eight hundred taels.
She was slightly worried and asked with a frown, " Why do you have so many bank notes?"
Looking at her complexion, Wu Xiyuan knew that she was overthinking. In order not to worry her, he told her about the eighty big coins he had lent to Prince Mu earlier.
But Su Jiuyue's frowning brow still didn't loosen, "You only lent him eighty big coins, how come he gave you back so much? Isn't that a bit wrong?"
Wu Xiyuan looked at his dumb wife and laughed, "I'm greedy for his small bargain. That day, I also helped him to come up with an idea, which saved his life. return my money, the rest should be a gift from him."
Su Jiuyue had just learned a saying in a book, 'No merit, no reward.'
Since there was merit, it was all good.
And Wu Xiyuan said, " Keep these banknotes. There are so many people in here. If I accidentally lost them, wouldn't it be a pity?"
Su Jiuyue thought he was right. So she put the bank notes away. She turned her back, put the banknote in her clothes, and patted it gently with her hand. And then she felt safe.
[Meng Yuchun, "I sat under the tall Sour grapes tree, seeing them show affection in public... Oooh...]
