Chapter 379: It’s So Obvious, What’s There To Ask
The door hadn’t been repaired in years, so of course it would collapse and sway left and right after Ye Liu and Ye Mo broke it down violently, .
The men spared each other a look, “Alright, this works too. It seems you don’t have to compensate for my wife’s umbrella anymore.”
“Don’t think this is over! Your despicable shared wife wouldn’t respond to me. Perhaps she was ridden by guilt. So don’t even think about tarnishing my daughter’s name! You have to be held accountable for breaking my door!” Li Huangshi shouted adamantly.
Liu Duo thought, The women in this village sure love to raise their voices…
Ye Liu and Ye Mo each gave Li Huangshi a good kick, “Despicable shared wife? Do you think we’ll let you off the hook after calling our beloved jewel a name like that? And twice?”
Next came the howling of a pig awaiting slaughter, “Oh no, the Ye brothers are hitting me…”
“Mother, are you alright?” Li Chunmei stepped up to help Li Huangshi, “How could you do that you my mother?”
Ye Liu and Ye Mo looked at her, dumbfounded.
It was so obvious. What was there to ask?
Nearby, neighbors began to gather, wondering what the commotion was about.
Children who didn’t know better even chanted, “Wow, the Ye brothers are starting a fight!”
While Ye Mo had always been a little fierce at times, it seemed to only be since Liu Duo joined their house that he had started to get physical like this.
Pffft, Liu Duo chuckled. Who knew Ye Mo could cause such a scene?
Ye Yang and Ye Ling just looked at her, confused, wondering what was so funny.
Burly Du furrowed his brow. He believed Li Huangshi deserved it for slandering a woman’s good name.
True, she was a shared wife, but so what?
“Aunt Li, I think we should call off the marriage between your daughter and I. I don’t want a mother-in-law like you, who would slander someone else’s wife. Your daughter would take after you, and I don’t want a wife like that.”
“I will report this to my parents myself. And as for the dowry, it’s fine if you return half of it.”
Usually, when a marriage was cancelled due to behavioral differences, the dowry would be returned in full.
So what Burly Du offered was an extremely kind gesture.
However, when Li Huangshi heard this, she furrowed her brow in disfavor and anxiousness. This was a marriage that would align the family with the chief’s. How could she just let it go?
Ye Liu shot a glance at Burly Du. It seemed he had heeded Ye Liu’s advice and agreed to marry, and the chosen partner happened to be Li Chunmei.
By then, Liu Duo had traveled far, and Ye Liu and Ye Mo went to catch up with her.
Li Huangshi couldn’t bother with them anymore, as she was busy ranting at Burly Du.
“Little Duo, why are you walking so fast? Can’t you wait for us?” When they caught up with her, Ye Liu feigned innocence.
Ye Ling looked at him sideways, “Liu, it’s not that we don’t want to, but it’s so hot today, and you know Duo Er can’t stand the heat.”
They had stopped under a shady tree a short distance away and waited there.
Liu Duo smiled and gave him a thumbs up for the gracious comeback.
Ye Ling was still the sweetest.
Ye Liu felt awkward at that moment. Of course he knew Liu Duo didn’t like the heat, and he wouldn’t want her to wait for them under the hot sun. He was merely teasing, yet Ye Ling had managed to take it seriously.
“Ling’s right. I got it all wrong. So how about we all go back home and get Little Duo away from this heat? Ye Liu said passionately, fanning Liu Duo with his empty hand.
Ye Mo looked at him in disdain. What a sweet-talker!
Liu Duo went for a change of clothes when they returned home, while Ye Liu and Ye Mo prepared lunch.
It was their fault for going after Li Chunmei. She even got sweaty from all that heat.
