Listening to Liu Duo’s song, Ye Yang’s quiet heart perked up, putting a faint smile on his face .
If Liu Duo were able to see, she’d clap in joy to see the man could show emotion of any kind .
As the village came into view, he set Liu Duo to his side, leaving a little distance between them .
“We’re almost home . ”
Although there was no expression on his face, Liu Duo was touched . How thoughtful!
AdvertisementThis way she wouldn’t become the topic of village gossip .
Though that wasn’t a concern for her, her men still needed some work . Given time, she believed they could end up like her .
Finally, seeing the courtyard entrance, the two got off the cart and picked up their belongings .
It’s good to be off my rear end! she happily thought .
Liu Duo pushed the door open with rice in hand: “Fourth brother, we’re back!”
When Ye Liu heard it, he shot down and took the rice with a smile: “Duo’er, you must be tired . Come, sit and have a drink . ”
“I’m not tired, just have a sore butt . ”
Even after sitting on my lap? Ye Yang wondered .
Hearing she was in pain, Ye Liu worriedly said: “I can imagine bouncing around on a hard board would hurt . Take a cushion with you next time, it should be much better . ”
“No need,” Liu Duo refused .
“Why?” Ye Liu was confused, didn’t she say it made her sore?
Liu Duo simply stared at Ye Yang with a big smile .
Ignoring her, Ye Yang said to Ye Liu: “We have eighty pounds of coarse flour and five pounds of fine rice . The rice is for Xiao Duo . ”
What!? That was meant for all of us! Liu Duo wanted to yell out .
Ye Ling nodded in favor without a word .
Ye Mo suddenly interjected from the side: “What!? You bought five pounds of fine rice just for her? What a spoiled wench!”
The wives of other families weren’t treated so well, why her?
Ye Liu came back in practically couldn’t believe his ears: “Third brother, you’re actually mad about that?”
“Yes I’m pissed! My eldest brother just bought a hundred copper’s worth of fine rice for this little wench! That’s enough to get us by on flour for ten days!” Ye Mo yelled, glaring at Liu Duo .
“Would you man up and stop making a big deal out of nothing? If Xiao Duo wants rice everyday, she’ll get rice everyday . Whatever she wants, we’ll provide,” Ye Liu slid to her side and snaked an arm around her shoulder, laughing like a spring breeze .
Both Ye Yang and Ye Liu were united on this front . Whatever the wife wants, the wife gets .
“…”
Looking at his brothers’ faces, Ye Mo suddenly felt isolated . He had been good to this family, saving what he could . After all, his fourth brother needed medication every month .
Seeing Ye Mo not say anything, Ye Liu rubbed salt on the wound: “Since you feel Xiao Duo doesn’t deserve rice, then go find another wife to share flour with! We, however, are happy with Xiao Duo . ”
Liu Duo glanced up at Ye Liu: You’re going that far?
Ye Liu winked back at her as if to say: We have your back . We’ll take care of you!
