Ye Liu gave Li Chunmei an equally serious look, “Li Chunmei, you slandered our wife. What do you think you should do to amend your wrong?”
Li Chunmei’s mother, Li Huangshi, screamed at them, “What are you boys you doing in my house? Do you have proof my daughter defamed your rotten, shared wife? You broke our door, so you should pay!”
She was livid. She had been willing to allow Li Chunmei to marry Ye Mo, but he had the gall to refuse?
However, being able to tie the knot with the village chief’s sister’s family was just as good as tying the knot with the chief, so she was quite content.
“What my wife said is proof! You want us to pay? Ha! I’m afraid you won’t be able to get it. Enough talk, pay the cost for the umbrella, Li Chunmei. That’s fifty wen. And then apologize to my wife!”
Other than their Liu Duo, no other villager would spend fifty wen on an umbrella.
Li Huangshi’s hair stood on end when she heard about the cost, “This is robbery! You might as well say five hundred wen!”
Li Chunmei looked at Ye Mo with both sadness and anger. “Mo, you…”
“Don’t you dare call me that! You don’t deserve it!” Ye Mo retorted furiously.
Burly Du looked at the women, “Aunt Li, it’s Chunmei’s fault. She should apologize and pay for the damages.”
He might not know exactly what happened, but he was on Ye Liu’s side. He knew Ye Liu wasn’t one to lie.
Li Huangshi warmed up to Burly Du, “Burly, I say, they’re smearing Li Chunmei’s name. Don’t believe them.”
Ye Liu and Ye Mo kicked over a stool, “Aunt Li, don’t blame me for not reminding you. My brother and I will destroy everything in this house until you pay up!”
Ye Liu would go to no end to defend his wife.
When Li Huangshi was about to say something, Liu Duo, Ye Yang, and Ye Ling caught up.
“Liuzi, Mo, what are you doing? Don’t bother yourself with the likes of them, let’s just go home!” Liu Duo shouted from the door.
She didn’t even want to step inside Li Chunmei’s yard.
Li Huangshi examined her from top to bottom. It was because of this girl that Ye Mo was unwilling to accept her daughter.
She looks just like a prostitute from the brothel! No wonder she’s willing to be a shared wife.
Liu Duo could feel unfriendly eyes on her as she glanced at Li Huangshi.
Wearing a farm girl’s typical clothing, Li Chunmei largely resembled her father, but she was not so much like her mother.
“Little Duo, have you three come to support us? Wait till you see how mighty we can be!” Ye Liu cast a glance at Liu Duo and winked flirtatiously.
It was a stark contrast to his seriousness and sturdiness just moments ago.
The same could be said about Ye Mo.
Li Huangshi yelled at Liu Duo, “You, the shared wife! Your husbands came to stir up trouble at my house! They want us to pay up and my daughter to apologize for insulting you! Do you have proof?”
Liu Duo didn’t want to bother her, “Liuzi, Mo, I’m asking you to leave. If not, you two don’t have to come back ever again.”
She took Ye Yang by the hand and quickly left.
She didn’t mind trouble, but she didn’t want to waste her time dealing with irrelevant people. She was not injured anyway!
And so the two men followed suit, “Wait up, my dear wife.”
They didn’t want to let it go, but they obeyed their wife.
And they gave the door another good kick as they left!
“Hey, stop right there, you two! You broke down my door. I demand compensation!” Li Huangshi ran up to block their path.
