His heart was filled with pity, but he also noticed that his wife seemed not as weak as the villagers had known her to be before but rather… mischievous?

Su Qingyue walked into the room and realized she had forgotten the most important thing, so she went back to the yard and picked up the bowl of soap pod pounded into mud. Without this natural cleanser, how could she get her body clean considering how dirty she was?

Actually, bathing was like washing hair; it was easier to get clean when taking a shower. However, there was no dedicated bathroom in the second brother’s home, and it was not possible to bathe in the yard without any cover. Hence, she had to take a basin bath in her room.

After bolting the door and taking off her wet clothes, she walked naked into the big bathtub with the water temperature just right.

She reached up to remove the towel tied around her head and put it into the water, then wrapped her long hair around the top of her head a few times before also removing the bamboo slices tied to her right wrist. The strings used to tie the bamboo slices were now used to fasten the hair on top of her head.

This way, she could use the towel to bathe without dirtying her clean hair. Anyway, the medicine sandwiched between the bamboo slices had already been washed away by the river water, so it would be fine to remove the bamboo slices now and put them back later.

With her left hand holding the wet towel, she dampened her entire body below the neck, then vigorously scrubbed her skin a few times with her left hand, layer by layer of dirt rubbed off.

After washing off the dirt with the wet towel, she applied the soap pod liquid, cleaned herself again, and then rinsed with water from the bath basin using the towel.

As she finished washing this way, a thick layer of dirt floated on the surface of the water in the wooden bathtub, which almost made her vomit.

It was so disgusting!

What should she do if she felt she hadn’t cleaned herself thoroughly after one

With a frown on her face, she thought it would be fine to wash with a few more basins of water. She missed the modern times’ showers…

Longing for a shower was a luxury, so she had to face reality. Who could help her pour this bathwater, and who could help her change the water?

As she was worrying, the door trembled a few times, probably someone knocking on it?

She walked to the door and peeked through the crack, finding it was second brother, who had brought two buckets of steaming hot water with him.

She suddenly understood that second brother knew she wouldn’t feel clean enough after just one basin of bathwater, so he had come to help her change the water.

Touched, she felt she hadn’t cleaned herself thoroughly yet and didn’t want to wear the clean clothes that second brother had prepared for her. She glanced at the wet patch on the quilt caused by her lying on the bed with wet clothes.

She simply tore off the quilt and wrapped herself from the neck down, then opened the door bolt with her left hand through the quilt.

Xiao Yishan saw his wife wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and a teasing smile appeared on his resolute face. However, he didn’t make fun of her but said, “I’ll help you change the water.”

After carrying the two buckets of water into the room, he took the big bathtub to the fence in the yard, poured out the bathwater, and also scooped a few ladles of water to clean the stains left in the bathtub. Only after dumping the dirty water did he bring the clean wooden bathtub back into the room and pour the two buckets of warm water into it.

Su Qingyue saw that second brother didn’t laugh at how dirty her bathwater was and felt both embarrassed and grateful for how great he was. She hurried to him, stretched her left hand out of the quilt, and raised three fingers vertically.

Xiao Yishan looked at her in confusion and guessed, “Are you saying you want to wash with three more basins of water?”

She stared at his lips, and once she understood, she nodded quickly.

“Alright, I’ll come back later to help you change the water.” He picked up the empty buckets and strode out.

Su Qingyue thought he would find it troublesome.. After all, which guest would take so many baths at someone else’s house?
