She scooped the cooked brown rice from the pot into a large bowl, washed the pot, and cooked two more bowls of rice. After the two bowls of rice were cooked, there were about four bowls in total, just enough for the second brother to eat in one meal.

Xiao Yuchuan stood at the kitchen doorway, watching her. “Wife, this is the first time you’re cooking at home, just for the second brother…”

Feeling a little sour in his heart, he sniffed, laughed at himself, “What times are these, and I’m getting jealous.” He looked at her sympathetically, “Wife, how did you become deaf? Poor thing… you were mute already, and now you’re deaf too…”

She squatted in front of the stove, lighting the firewood, then stood up and looked at Xiao Yuchuan blocking the doorway. Over the past several days, perhaps because the petty cat was young and healed quickly, his body and face were no longer swollen even without medication. His face had returned to its original handsome appearance.

“Second brother went to find Doctor Sun for you, rest assured, Doctor Sun will definitely cure you.” He comforted her.

She understood what he said, immediately shook her head, and was just about to say there was no need to waste money on a doctor for her deafness, she could treat it herself.

Before she could open her mouth, she was embraced by Xiao Yuchuan. Holding her tightly, his body slightly trembling due to intense emotions.

Just as she was about to struggle, he lowered his head, holding her head in place, forcing her to look at him, and said seriously, “Don’t worry, even if you can’t get better, deaf and mute, I will never despise you.”

Her head was cradled by him, she found this posture strange and didn’t like being held this way. Just as she was about to punch him, she understood his words, and her heart was slightly moved.

Rarely, this little petty cat was very thoughtful. Not only did he cook for her every day for the past few days, not letting her do any chores, but he also served her food every meal.

Moreover, she discovered two things.

First. a few days ago her throat was in so much pain from talking so much that

she could barely make a sound. It hurt her throat to speak, so she didn’t say much. The petty cat thought she was mute, meaning the second brother must think she was mute too.

Secondly, in this home…

The petty cat, and even the patient in the secondary bedroom, did not eat lunch. Every time, the petty cat only made lunch for her. Even if she didn’t want to eat, he always cooked a bowl of rice for her, served with half a bowl to a bowl of pickled fried roe deer meat.

Surely, for someone as shrewd as him to treat her this well was rare.

On top of that, now he…

Was saying he wouldn’t mind if she was deaf and mute.

Truth be told, with his looks paired with her currently ugly appearance, even if his family was poor, it would still be unfair to him.

If it were any other woman, they would be crying and blowing their nose at this point.

It wasn’t that she didn’t fancy him, it was just…

Before her time-travel, she castrated her unfaithful fiancé, and in return was stabbed to death by him. Now recalling the pain and despair she experienced before dying…

A broken heart can never be mended.

She didn’t want to get married, she just wanted to cherish her precious new life and live well on her own.

She released his hand, but did not explain that she could speak.

He always complained that she was ugly, and she knew that very well. Words…

Are nice to hear but not necessarily true.

Who knows, the Doctor Sun he mentioned might come over later, say that she couldn’t be treated, and then he might change his mind.

Seeing her indifferent expression, he felt a little heartbroken, “Why are you so cold, don’t you trust me?”

With her current appearance, can she trust him? She nodded imperceptibly..
