Chapter 81: Feeling Empty

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The look he gave made Li Wazi feel sad. Why did he look at him like that? Had he said something wrong? Li Wazi touched his nose and also headed back home.

“Yeah, I might have to leave for a few days. The pay is twenty-five wens per day.” Ye Liu naturally told Liu Duo how much the work paid.

“Oh.” Liu Duo felt a bit empty. Yang was out hunting, and Ye Liu was also about to leave. The family couldn’t stay together.

Ye Liu felt Liu Duo’s emptiness, so he patted her head and said, trying to coax her, “It’s not like you’ll never be able to see me again. It’s just for a few days. Cheer up. Our Little Duo still looks the best when she smiles.”

“Are you saying that I’m not pretty when I don’t smile?” Liu Duo pouted. Her face still looked unhappy.

“Not at all. In my eyes, Little Duo is the most pretty when she smiles and when she doesn’t smile. No one can compare to you!” Ye Liu smiled devilishly.

The three of them returned home. Ye Ling was busy cooking in the kitchen. Ye Mo went to the well straightaway to draw water to clean off the mud on his hands and feet that he hadn’t wiped off earlier.

“Ling, we’re back.” Liu Duo went into the kitchen. She went over to help when she saw Ye Ling cutting the vegetables.

“Duo Er, wait for a while. We can eat after the cabbage is stir-fried.” Ye Ling cut the cabbage into strips.

“Okay.” Liu Duo helped to get rid of the water that was used to wash the vegetables. She carried it outside and threw it away.

After their meal, Ye Liu returned back to the house and packed some clothes to change into. He gave Liu Duo and the others a few instructions and then left.

Liu Duo stood at the yard’s door and watched Ye Liu leave. She thought of Ye Yang again. Of the four men, two of them had left in order to provide for the family. She felt very irritated.

Her wish, after she had been given another life, was to live together with her family and to live a normal life where they were all happy and healthy – not like this, where they were all in separate places, and she had to hope for them to come home soon.

However, she could only find comfort by telling herself that she would only need to endure this for a while longer. After a few days, the toy pig would be produced and sold. Once she had an income, everything would come to fruition.

“Duo Er, Liu will be back in a few days. Nothing will happen to him. Let’s go in.” Ye Ling was also looking at Ye Liu’s back and hoping that he could return soon.

“Okay.”

She turned around and returned back to the yard with Ye Ling. Ye Ling resumed doing chores around the house. Liu Duo took out the clothes she had changed out of the night before in order to wash them.

“Ling, take out your dirty clothes. I will wash them.” She didn’t have anything to do anyway. She would clean the dirty clothes to pass the time.

When Ye Ling heard her, he took out all their dirty clothes and put them into a bucket.

“Duo Er, I will go with you. This way, we will be able to finish washing faster.”

The two of them went together to the riverside, and Ye Mo went to chop wood.

The water in the river was very clear, and the water quality was especially good. It was still early, so there weren’t many people. Liu Duo and Ye Ling found a nice spot and began to wash the clothes.

Not long after, people with dirty clothes started to come to the riverside to wash their clothes.

“Ling, you rest for a while. Just leave it to me.” She remembered the doctor had said he shouldn’t get worn out.

“It’s fine. I’m not tired.” Ye Ling felt that when he was with Liu Duo, he wouldn’t feel tired, no matter what he did.

“Duo Er, you rest for a while. You’re the one who shouldn’t get tired. You will feel uncomfortable.”

What Ye Ling said made Liu Duo felt very confused. Shouldn’t get tired? Feel uncomfortable? What did he mean?

“Why would I get tired? It’s not like I went down to the paddy field to weed. I only sat on the slope and watched. It wasn’t tiring at all.”

Did he think she had worked in the morning? She had just sat for the entire morning.

“I know. I’m talking about last night.” Ye Lu mumbled, his face bright red.
