He certainly admired Ye Mo’s insight and luck. Not only had they bought themselves a pretty bride, but one that brought in riches to the family!
He also did not know what he might have done in the past life to have the pleasure of forming a brotherhood with Ye Mo, and, by association, even his family had become richer.
Liu Duo found it somewhat hilarious that even Li Wazi, the honest man, was complimenting her.
She chortled, “Alright, alright. If you all say I’m the brains of the operation, then I’ll take it! Haha…”
The household had gotten quite lively. On the other hand, Ye Yang and Ye Mo arrived at Doctor Li’s house, but they could not find who they were looking for.
It turned out that Doctor Li had gone to the Ye family courtyard to check on Ye Xuan.
The brothers braved the rain and headed there.
“Doctor Li, is my Xuan Er alright? Do you have any good medicine to remove the bruising? Even expensive ones will do,” Grandmother Ye asked, her brows furrowed.
Her grandson Xuan Er cared a lot about his appearance. How could he show himself with a heavily bruised face like that?
Ye Xuan kept one untreated swollen eye open to look at Doctor Li. He was most concerned about this.
Doctor Li did not reply immediately. He gave Ye Xuan a thorough examination, then checked his pulse, before slowly saying, “He’s fine. As for the bruises, it’ll take some time before they go away. No amount of medicine will help. Boil an egg each day and rub it along the bruises. It’ll speed up the recovery.”
Boiling an egg each day to remove the bruises was a huge expense for a farming household, but Grandmother Ye nodded regardless. “Alright, thank you.”
Doctor Li gave a few more pointers before leaving with his medical kit.
Ye Xuan lay on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. He cursed the Ye brothers a thousand times over, and swore to himself that after he passed his government exam he would have his revenge on them!
For revenge is a dish best served cold!
After sending off Doctor Li, Grandmother Ye returned to the house and intended to speak with Ye Xuan some more. She had barely stepped through the threshold when Ye Xuan exclaimed, “Don’t come in! I want peace.”
So, Grandmother Ye took a step back. “Alright, I won’t bother you, Xuan Er, dear. I’ll go boil an egg for you.”
Then she went to the kitchen.
As the saying went, everything has its vanquisher. Between Grandmother Ye and Ye Xuan, their positions seemed to have switched. No one had the right to comment on it, since one was willing to abuse, and the other was willing to be abused!
Not far away from the Ye family courtyard, Ye Yang and Ye Mo were almost at their destination when they saw Doctor Li leaving.
“Doctor Li!” Ye Mo quickly waved at him, shouting his name.
It was raining. The raindrops pattered on the leaves and on the muddy ground. Despite the noise, Ye Mo’s sonorous voice was at a higher level as it made its way into Doctor Li’s ears.
He looked over at them and observed them carefully. He recognized the Ye brothers Yang and Mo, so he walked over to them.
Ye Mo moved forward to meet him. He said urgently, “Doctor Li, our wife isn’t feeling very well, please come with me to check on her.”
And then he held him by the arm, almost dragging him.
It was then that Ye Yang called his name. “Mo!”
His eyes said a lot more. We are not in a rush. You’d better not knock the doctor over!
After all, Doctor Li was an old man in his sixties.
