Chapter 505: Of Course I’m Going
Liu Duo quickly finished the rice in her bowl. “I’m full, you guys take your time.”
She put down the bowl and chopsticks and quickly left the table, which had made her feel extremely awkward.
She went to the side, exhaled, and muttered softly, “Phew, that was really so awkward. How did I end up kicking Mo? Maybe it is because I keep calling him my little brother and that’s why I like to hit him? Pfff...”
When she thought of this, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She waved at Hei Xiaomeng and Hei Xiaomeng ran towards her while jolting its buttocks.
“Come, I will help you comb your fur.” She grabbed their specialized comb and helped to comb the fur on its entire body.
“Duo Er, we are about to head out, are you going?” Ye Ling put the kettle in the basket and prepared to carry it to the paddy fields so they could drink it when they were thirsty.
When Liu Duo heard him, she put down the wooden comb and said cheerfully, “Of course I’m going.”
Ye Yang and the others took the equipment they needed such as scythes and ropes and went out the door with Ye Ling and Liu Duo walking behind them.
The weather today was quite good. There wasn’t a lot of sunlight but it was a bit stuffy, so Liu Duo didn’t bring the oil-paper umbrella.
While they were on the road, they ran into Li Wazi and his family when they were about to reach the paddy fields.
“Sister Lian, why did you come out with Little Huzi?” Liu Duo walked over and walked alongside her.
“Since I knew Sister Duo would also be coming, I brought Little Huzi along so you can help me take care of him while I help my mom with the harvesting,” Little Lian said with a smile.
She had thought of this because she knew Ye Yang and the others wouldn’t let Liu Duo go down to the fields to work. This way, it would be easier for her to help her family with the harvesting.
Upon hearing her, Liu Duo smiled and said, “Okay. I will help you take care of Little Huzi for half a day for half a tael of silver.”
“Half a tael of silver is too little. How about I give you one teal?”
Little Lian and Liu Duo had already interacted with each other for quite some time and they sometimes liked to joke around. Little Lian’s personality had already become considerably more carefree.
“Sure! Hahaha...”
Aunt Li and the others saw the two of them laughing happily and they also laughed along.
When they reached the paddy fields, Liu Duo carried Little Huzi and sat beneath the shade of a tree not far away. The others went harvesting in the paddy fields.
At this time, Li Chunmei and a few of her neighbors whom she was close with also came to their families’ paddy fields to harvest. They saw Liu Duo sitting there while holding Little Huzi, not having to work. One of them said bitchily, feeling sour, “Don’t you guys think there is someone here who is just freeloading off her family? Even though she is part of a family, she doesn’t help the family with work.”
“That’s right. She couldn’t give birth but is hugging someone else’s baby. She really is too much...”
When Liu Duo heard them, she completely ignored their idle gossip. She didn’t care if they were talking about her since she seldom cared about such personal attacks!
Li Chunmei took a look at Liu Duo and then looked at Ye Mo, who was currently working. She couldn’t stop her heart from feeling pain...
She really hated Liu Duo. It was because of her that Ye Mo hated her right now. He wouldn’t even give her a single glance.
“I’ll go harvest the seedlings now,” Li Chunmei said to her companions and then went to her family’s paddy field.
One by one, the others also went to their own families’ paddy fields.
It was only now that Liu Duo lifted her head to look at Li Chunmei and the others. She muttered in her heart, There really are a lot of people with bitchy mouths who like to look for trouble!
She lowered her head again to look at Little Huzi, who was in her embrace. She pinched his fat nose lightly and said, “You shouldn’t learn from them when you grow up, understand? This is a very bad habit. After all, that’s how loose tongues cause trouble.”
Little Huzi didn’t understand and just kept smiling happily at her, feeling happy that Liu Duo was playing with him.
Outside the bamboo forest, Dongfang Ming’s carriage arrived in front of the door to Liu Duo’s yard. The coachman knocked on the door but no one came to open it so he went back and said, “Mister, no one came to open the door. Perhaps no one is home.”
