She went beside the well to wash up. Liu Duo felt rueful that it was another new day. Not having to worry about any illness, and not having to take medicine, was a great feeling.
After she finished with her things, she went to the kitchen and saw Ye Ling sitting next to the stove. Liu Duo walked over and said out of concern, “Ling, how do you feel today? Feeling better?”
“I’m fine now. I feel much better after taking my medicine. Thank you, Duo Er, for showing concern for me.” Ye Ling smiled bashfully. However, he didn’t look at her and kept moving his sight away from her.
Liu Duo felt puzzled. What was going on? She didn’t find it that strange when Ye Mo had acted this way moments ago, but now even Ye Ling was acting this way. What the hell was going on?
“Yi...”
When she was about the ask the question, Ye Ling interrupted her, “Duo Er, let’s eat. Liu already ate and went to town.”
He got up and went to get the rice and chopsticks straightaway. Liu Duo could only let the matter go and go to help.
The three of them were eating at the table. Ye Mo suddenly said, “Ling, you stay at home and rest today. She and I will go to the paddy fields to weed. We have to get rid of the weeds and plant the rice as soon as possible.”
Liu Duo stopped what she was doing and looked at him. “Why do I have to go with you? I’m not going.”
Going to the paddy fields to weed? She absolutely didn’t want to get into the field. She also didn’t want to be with Ye Mo. The only thing they did, besides fighting, was even more fighting. It really annoyed her!
He didn’t look at Liu Duo and said, while he ate, “No reason. If you don’t go, what are you going to do?”
“I will stay at home and accompany Ling. Right, Ling?”
Ye Mo didn’t wait for Ye Ling to speak. He said straightaway, “It’s not like Ling is a child. Why would he need you to accompany him? You need to come!”
It was like this every time. His voice would get loud when he became unhappy.
Ye Ling initially wanted to argue, but he said to Liu Duo, “Duo Er, you should go. Going out for a walk is also good.”
In the end, in consideration for Ye Ling, Liu Duo reluctantly agreed.
The two of them didn’t converse with each other while they were on the way. Ye Mo walked at the front, and Liu Duo followed behind.
While on the way, they saw quite a few villagers working in paddy fields and vegetable fields.
“Ye Mo, I heard your fourth brother fell ill. Is he alright now?” Li Wazi immediately came over when he saw Ye Mo.
“Yeah. He is fine now and is resting at home.” Ye Mo had never shown his angry side to Li Wazi before.
Li Wazi caught sight of Liu Duo, who was following behind. He pulled Ye Mo aside and spoke at a volume that only the two of them could hear, “Ye Mo, this is your shared wife right? She is quite pretty.”
This was the second time Li Wazi had seen Liu Duo. In the beginning, he had helped to search for Liu Duo when she had escaped. However, the sky had been dark then, and he hadn’t clearly seen what she looked like.
“Yeah.” Ye Mo still felt somewhat pleased when he heard his wife being praised for being pretty. His mood became considerably better.
Liu Duo saw that someone was looking at her, so she lifted her eyes and cast a glance at Li Wazi, who was walking side by side with Ye Mo.
A typical man of the Zhuang family. He was tall, strong, and good-natured. He was only about twenty-something years old.
“Ye Mo, what’s with your face?” Li Wazi suddenly realized there was swelling on Ye Mo’s face.
Sigh. Ye Mo let out an awkward sigh. “No, nothing. I forgot to light the oil lamp at night and bumped into the wall.”
He definitely wouldn’t say that he had been beaten up by Ye Liu because he had bullied his wife, right? That would be embarrassing.
Li Wazi was shocked when he heard that. “Ah? That can’t be!”
He stared at Ye Mo, not believing him. Bumped into the wall? Because he didn’t light the oil lamp? How would he make such a small mistake?
He didn’t believe it, and his expression showed he didn’t believe it.
Being stared at by Li Wazi, Ye Mo felt especially awkward. He changed the subject and said, “Are you going to the paddy field to weed?”
“Yeah, I haven’t finished removing the weeds. If I finish today, I will plant the rice tomorrow.”
The honest Li Wazi replied and didn’t stare at Ye Mo’s face anymore.
