The night quietly disappeared and morning came . The village gradually became lively .
Liu Duo woke up full of smiles, like a spring breeze in the early morning . She put on her slippers, picked up a wooden comb and brushed her long, black hair . Humming, she pushed the door and walked out .
“Eldest brother, good morning!” she greeted with her dimply smile, seeing Ye Yang sweeping leaves in the yard .
Ye Yang looked up at her and nodded: “It’s early, did you sleep well?”
It’s about six o’clock, usually Liu Duo’s still sawing logs* .
“Sure did,” Liu Duo sat on a wood bench and continued combing her hair .
Advertisement“Mm,” Ye Yang bowed down and continued sweeping .
After combing her hair, she went back to her room and looked at the bronze mirror . After checking her left and right sides, she nodded with satisfaction: “Beautiful . ”
She set down the comb and made her usual trip to the outhouse .
Meanwhile, the brothers got dressed and made their way out . Ye Ling started working on breakfast while Ye Mo got the fire going .
Ye Liu was sitting under the eaves, legs crossed .
Slightly tapping the table with his finger, he asked with a sneer: “Eldest brother, did you get any rest last night?”
“…” Ye Yang glanced at Ye Liu .
Ugh! Can’t say nothin’ give how young she is! Ye Yang thought .
“Seems things were kinda rough, eh?” Ye Liu touched his chin, seeming to be having fun .
While it’s true they knew Liu Dio was on her period, Ye Yang still wouldn’t have done anything .
Ye Yang twitched, his face sullen .
Outside the cottage, Liu Duo was at the well washing her menstrual cloth . Ye Liu saw her and fixed his gaze on his new prey .
“Xiao Duo, you’re up early today,” he said, worming his way to her side
Prowler!
“Come Xiao Duo, let me help you with that,” he seductively whispered in her ears .
“Get lost! I don’t need your help,” she snarled at him .
She washed it and hung it up to dry before also washing her face and brushing her teeth .
Ye Liu laughed and pinched her nose, thinking her sass was rather cute .
The family sat around the table eating dumplings . Ye Ling specially made it for Liu Duo, her not being a fan of gruel .
Before Liu Duo arrived, all they ate was gruel or porridge to cut down on costs .
Liu Duo happily took a bite: “Fourth brother, this dumpling is delicious!”
“Good, and there’s more in the pot if you’d like,” he was happy to see her happy .
Stuffing fifteen dumplings, she was finally full . She leaned back in the chair, satisfied .
“Eldest brother, we’re starting to get short on flour,” Ye Ling looking at Ye Yang .
After eating his last dumpling, Ye Yang said: “Go and buy some more . ”
Liu Duo stared at Ye Yang . He may not be the most handsome of the four, but his mature personality was slowly winning her over . He may be a stump, but he was a manly stump .
Ye Yang felt Liu Duo’s hawk-like gaze, yet didn’t bat an eye . But only he knew his heart was actually starting to race .
“Does that mean we need to head to town? I’d like to go,” Liu Duo was particularly excited . The town’s an indispensable place to becoming wealthy . She had to see it for herself .
*Expression for sleeping
