Ye Liu let out a chuckle. Even Ye Yang smiled. Ye Mo tried to hold in his fury.
He thought, geez, I should have known Yang and Ling would gang up on me! So what? I can’t do anything in the day but when night comes, just you wait!
Liu Duo yawned and stretched when they had left the negative incident behind. “Alright, I’m taking a nap. You guys can leave now.”
Seeing his wife’s cute expression and her coy stance, Ye Mo could resist his anger because there was nothing he could do to her. He felt bummed about it.
“Rest, then. I’m going down. I don’t need you to send me off!” he said and went to open the door.
Liu Duo watched him go as she hummed silently, I don’t plan to, narcissist!
Ye Yang was filled with adoration for her when he noticed her silent protest.
Ye Liu mischievously pinched her cheeks and smiled. “Well-played! You certainly ruffled Mo’s feathers, and he had no way to vent his anger. How pitiful it was to have to hold it in.”
“He called me first. Hmmph, he deserved it.” Liu Duo coyly lifted her chin up.
Ye Liu shook his head as he laughed. These two were like children.
“Rest,” Ye Yang said. His low and husky voice left Liu Duo dazzled.
“Alright, Little Duo, rest well. Yang and I are going down,” Ye Liu said.
In unison, all of them never brought up that morning’s incident again. Let bygones be bygones.
Liu Duo nodded as she went to the door and saw them off, smiling and bowing to them like Miss Etiquette. “My two dear husbands, please tread carefully on the steps. I’ll not be joining you.”
Ye Yang and Ye Liu exchanged glances. How could their wife be so playful and adorable?
Bearing in mind that Liu Duo had gotten sleepy, the two did not waste any more time and walked out of the room. One patted her hand and the other lightly pinched her nose as they made their exit, equally showing their love towards her.
As she watched them go, Liu Duo twitched her jaw and mumbled to herself, “Why do I feel that I’m being treated like a kid? Either way, it feels nice to be showered with love! Haha…”
She honestly thanked the heavens from the bottom of her heart for giving her a second shot at life. She might not have been poor in her first life but she had been ill, and it had been wonderful as well to have parents who loved and never gave up on her.
The life she was given now might have had a previous owner unfortunate enough to be sold as a shared wife, and who had taken her own life because of it, but Liu Duo herself would definitely not give up on this precious reincarnation!
Of course, if the four brothers had not treated her well, why would she even be willing to stay with them?
If it were that way, she would help them escape poverty, become rich, then leave them to live her perfect life.
Downstairs, the others who did not have napping habits took their rest before getting back to work.
“Brother Ling, am I going to the school in town tomorrow?” Liu Ran, who was sitting opposite him, asked his brother-in-law, who was peeling garlic.
Ye Ling turned to him and smiled. “That’s the plan. Your Brother Ling and Brother Mo will take care of that for you. No need to worry.”
The two men were already taking the bullock-cart to town. They had goods to deliver to the restaurant.
The school in town was unlike the one in the village. Payment was not the only condition for enrolment.
Potential students had to sit for an exam and then, if they passed, they had to pay tuition fees a few times greater than how much the village school charged. Only after that could they start their lessons.
After all, there were more upper-class families in town, who cared very much for their children’s learning in the hopes that they could be nurtured into cultured individuals.
