Chapter 43: Pretending to be Cool
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ye Liu was already causing a scene so early in the morning. What was his intention? The two younger brothers couldn’t even look at her, and Ye Liu, the older brother, smiled in a way that possessed hidden meanings.
“Since we’ve finished eating, let’s go.” Liu Duo took the lead and stood up. She walked towards the door to go outside, and Ye Liu ran after her immediately.
Ye Ling cleared away the bowls and chopsticks. Ye Mo spaced out for a few seconds, got up, and said, “Ling, you stay at home. I also want to go to town to take a look.”
“Oh okay. Go then. Otherwise, Liu and she would’ve gone far.”
Ye Mo nodded and then ran out. He saw that Liu Duo and Ye Liu hadn’t gone far. He immediately ran after them.
“Mo, why did you run after us? You don’t need to miss us. We will be back by the afternoon at the latest.” Ye Liu patted Ye Mo’s shoulder.
Who missed you? Ye Mo rolled his eyes. “I also want to go to town.” He said clearly and concisely.
“What are you going to town for?” Ye Liu felt suspicious. Why did Mo suddenly want to go to town?
“Nothing really. I just wanted to go.” He looked ahead of him and was unwilling to say more.
Liu Duo only glanced at Ye Mo and did not make any sound. She muttered in her heart, You want to monitor me, I bet! First, to make sure that I don’t run away. Second, you are afraid that I might spend money frivolously!
They walked towards the Chao Village entrance. Wang Tuozi’s ox cart would be waiting there for the people who wanted to take the ox cart to town.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they saw that there were three people sitting on Wang Tuozi’s ox cart.
Liu Duo even recognized one of them. It was the person she fought with by the lake.
When that person saw Liu Duo, she made a humph sound and ignored her. She turned her head and gave her the cold shoulder.
The other two people were polite, and they nodded. None of them spoke, because they weren’t familiar with each other.
Wang Tuozi still said aloud, as a token gesture, “Three wens per person. A round trip is six wens.”
When most villagers went to town, the women would take the ox cart to town, but very few of them would take it going both there and back. Taking it in both directions was too extravagant.
Ye Liu took out nine wens from his waist and handed them to Wang Tuozi. Ye Mo said, “Don’t include mine, I will walk there.”
He even glanced at Liu Duo after he spoke. He then walked on the road towards town. He felt a bit unsatisfied in his heart, but he did not say it aloud.
Wang Tuozi also didn’t say anything and returned three wens.
Liu Duo looked at Ye Mo’s back. “Pretending to be cool!”
Ye Liu did not mind at all. He sat on the side of the ox cart after he paid. He waved his hands, “Little Duo, come and sit here.” He even wiped it off.
Wang Tuozi saw that it was about time. “Sit tight, it’s time to leave. Don’t fall!”
A leather whip landed on the ox’s butt and the ox cart slowly rolled forward to begin traveling.
“Wait a moment.” Ye Ling ran over from afar while limping. He gasped for air.
The ox cart stopped. “Fourth brother of the Ye family, what’s up? You want to go?”
Wang Tuozi turned his head and looked at Ye Ling.
“Ying.” Liu Duo was a bit surprised to see Ye Ling, especially seeing that he held a piece of cloth in his hands.
He hadn’t run there specifically to give it to her, had he? Liu Duo felt somewhat moved. He really was a considerate man. He remembered it after she had complained to him once.
Liu Duo really guessed correctly. “Duo Er, I borrowed a cushion for you. This way, it won’t be as bumpy.”
He gave the cloth to Liu Duo. He had especially gone out of his way to find Aunt Ye to borrow it.
“Thank you, Ling.” She smiled while she took it. She placed it under her butt. It was soft, much more comfortable than sitting on hard wood.
“Ling, didn’t I tell you that you are not allowed to be anxious and not allowed to run at speed?” Ye Liu reprimanded him coldly.
“Liu, I...” Ye Ling’s smile disappeared when he heard that.
He had only remembered to deliver the cushion to Liu Duo and had forgotten that he shouldn’t get anxious or run quickly, because of his illness.
