She was thinking, what would he bring back to help clean her teeth?

She glanced at her fractured right wrist, with a hundred days to heal a fractured bone, normally, such an injury would take three months to fully heal.

In her previous life, she had studied traditional Chinese medicine, so she knew it quite well. With her medical skills, the healing process would be quick – only seven or eight days – but she would still need time to recuperate, taking around twenty days in total.

She lifted her right wrist, which was swollen and held in place by bamboo slices and medicinal paste. The tightness was a bit painful.

When the bamboo slices were initially binding her wrist, it hadn’t swelled up yet, but now that it had, the binding had become too tight.

She used her mouth to bite open the rope knot, then loosened it a little with her left hand before tying it again – not too loose, not too tight. Her wrist finally felt more comfortable.

She wanted to check her pulse… but it was difficult.

On the right side, the pulse was blocked by the bamboo slices and her left hand couldn’t do much.

Thus, she had no choice but to use her injured right hand to check the pulse of her left wrist. Due to the fracture, her fingers were swollen and less agile.

She looked at her left hand, palm up, revealing the thick calluses on both her palm and fingertips.

She raised her right hand, which was also calloused.

Shit, how much hard labor did her predecessor do? She must have been abused in the long term, or else why would her hands be like this?

Unfortunately, she didn’t have her predecessor’s memories and didn’t know what her body’s original owner had experienced.

Despite the thick calluses, she still had to check her pulse, right?

After a while, she finally determined that her body was suffering from long-term malnutrition, resulting in her being both thin and flat. She didn’t need to check her pulse to know this. Additionally, her predecessor had suffered severe organ damage from a beating, causing her body to suddenly stop functioning and leading to an insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the brain and auditory nerves, resulting in deafness.

If it were someone else, they might have been deaf for life.

She could cure it, but only after her internal injuries had healed and she could move her right hand freely. Then, she would use acupuncture to activate blood circulation, unclogging the orifices in her brain and allowing her to hear again.

For now, she couldn’t use acupuncture as her internal injuries hadn’t healed and doing so might cause side effects.

As for temporary deafness, she would have to bear with it for a while. There was no other solution at the moment.

After a while, Xiao Yuchuan returned with a load of water. He set the shoulder pole down in the yard and took out two chopstick-like willow branches from his mouth, handing one to Su Qingyue, “Wife, here!” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Qingyue looked at his swollen face and didn’t understand what he was saying.

She stared at the willow branch in his hand but didn’t take it, simply continuing to stare at him.

“Wife, can you really be so stupid that you don’t even know how to clean your teeth?” Xiao Yuchuan looked at her dirt-streaked face and gave her a pitying look. “The Zhu Family is too wicked, not even allowing you to clean your teeth! If I get close to you, I’ll nearly vomit from the smell! This isn’t like you haven’t brushed your teeth in half a year; it’s more like you’ve never brushed them at all! How can you be my wife like this? Other people’s wives are kissing their husbands, and your mouth… I… I… I… I’m afraid I won’t dare to kiss it…” Qingyue saw only his mouth moving, not understanding his long, rambling nonsense, and received several looks as if she were some pitiful stray dog – as if she had just been abandoned by her owner.

Furious, she abruptly stood up, her round eyes shooting out sparks of anger.

Xiao Yuchuan saw her anger but was delighted, “Are you angry because you’re afraid I won’t want you? Fine, fine, I’ll put up with your stench. In the future, if you’re willing to brush your teeth every 10 to 15 days, it’ll be enough. I won’t hold it against you for being too smelly… If worse comes to worst, you can always beg me… If you beg me, maybe I’ll close my eyes and endure the smell to kiss you….”
