Ye Ling looked at his wife’s red eyes and reached out with his hand to wipe away the tears. He then nodded silently.
He never would’ve thought he would suddenly faint and scare Liu Duo and cause her to worry.
“Duo Er, I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologize. As long as you are fine.”
“Ling.” Ye Liu’s concerned face was full of seriousness. “In the future, Yang, Mo, and I will no longer treat you like the child who used to need your older brothers to shield you from everything.
“No matter what it is, we will tell you and we will solve it together. However, you must control your emotions well. What happened to you today is exactly what we are afraid of. That’s why we didn’t talk to you about many things. It is not because we treat you as an outsider!
“Instead, it is because we treat you as the most important family we can’t afford to lose, understand?”
Ye Liu really emphasized the word “family.”
When Ye Ling heard him, a look of guilt appeared all over his pale face.
He was actually quite regretful after he said those words back then. He knew it would hurt his brothers’ feelings but in his moment of anger, he spoke too quickly and didn’t hold back.
He really wanted to take on some responsibilities for their household!
“I’m sorry, Liu. I shouldn’t have said those words back then.”
“Ling, you don’t need to say too much, just rest well.” Ye Liu lifted his hand to stop Ye Ling from continuing to speak.
“Since Ling wants to be the head of the household, Liu will allow you to do so! In the future, no matter if the matter is important or not, I will report everything to Ling.”
As he spoke, he gave him a wink. “However, that is on the condition that Ling is not allowed to get angry or overly emotional when he hears these things.”
When Liu Duo heard him speak with that mischievous tone of his while pretending to be weak, she couldn’t help but laugh.
This fella was truly very random. He could be completely serious for a second and then suddenly crack a joke while smiling brightly.
Ye Ling also didn’t know if he should laugh or not when he saw this. He didn’t actually want to become the head of the household.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, Liu Duo was faster than him and said, “Ling, it is not suitable for you to speak right now as it will tire you. Just rest well and we will talk about this once you are a little bit better!”
She didn’t want Ye Ling to keep on talking about this with Ye Liu.
What were they to do if for some reason Ye Ling became emotional again?
Not long after, Aunt Li brought the medicinal soup she’d finished boiling into the room.
“Little Ling woke up right on time. Here, drink this medicinal soup.”
“Aunt Li, give it to me.” Liu Duo reached out with her hands and took it.
Ye Liu, on the other hand, helped Ye Ling up so that he could have an easier time drinking it.
“Aunt Li, it is already very late, you guys should just not go back,” Ye Liu said to Aunt Li. “There are some spare rooms so just spend a night here, okay?”
He thought about how it would be difficult to walk home at night while carrying Little Huzi. After all, at this time, the sky had already turned completely dark.
No matter where and when, there would always be the traditional saying, ‘babies shouldn’t leave the house after dark.’
Aunt Li nodded and said, not faking politeness, “Okay, we will stay for a night.”
After that, she asked a few words of concern for Ye Ling before going down to tell Li Wazi and the others that they wouldn’t be leaving today.
Ye Mo only went back after he sent Doctor Li home. He was completely not stingy when giving the medical fees and gave him one tael of silver!
It wasn’t that he was being generous because they were now well-off, but it was because he was very grateful towards Doctor Li for taking care of them for all these years. Moreover, it was because even though he ran very quickly due to his anxiousness when he was carrying him just now, he didn’t utter a word no matter how bumpy it was.
It was rare to find such a good doctor and it was worth it to pay him as such for the medical fees.
When he arrived home, he didn’t find it strange when he saw that Li Wazi and the others hadn’t gone home.
