“I’m pregnant now, aren’t I? Yang wants me to have some game, and what can be bought won’t be as exquisite as the ones he hunts. That’s why he went into the hills!”
Liu Duo spoke with an air of blissfulness, feeling very proud of her husband!
With that, Aunt Ye’s frown evolved into a cheerful smile.
They came into the house to find a bundle of cloth, needles, and thread ready on the table. Out of curiosity, Liu Duo asked, “Aunt Ye, what’s this?”
“There’s nothing to do every day, so I thought I would sew something for the little ones,” Aunt Ye said kindly. “You’re carrying more than one child, aren’t you? I’m just helping Ling to lighten the load.”
Ye Ling had mentioned to her before that Liu Duo wasn’t good at needlework. She could make some diapers, but baby clothes would be a whole other level.
She did not expect Yang, Liu, and Mo to be skilled in sewing. They were much more capable with other forms of manual labor.
“Thanks, Aunt Ye. It’s so nice of you.” Liu Duo couldn’t help but give the woman a big bear hug. She was on cloud nine.
How she wished Aunt Ye was really related to her husbands!
Both older women were her elders, but there was no need for comparison. One was loving and kind, while the other was stingy and cruel.
“It’s the least I can do.” Aunt Ye smiled happily too. “When you’re almost ready to give birth, I’ll move into your place for a while and help with things. You won’t know how to care for a baby, will you?”
She thought about it. There was no one in the Ye family they could turn to, and while Aunt Li would be in their house during the day, she would have to go home at night, so what could be done about it?
A newborn baby required feeding at night too. The new parents were inexperienced; how would they know what to do?
Liu Duo did not know what to say. She embraced Aunt Ye still and spoke honestly from the bottom of her heart. “Aunt Ye, you’re family to us from now onwards! I’ll treat you like my elder for as long as I live!”
Ye Yang walked into the scene and, very bluntly, said, “She’s already family!”
Er…
Liu Duo’s jaw twitched. Did her husband just call her out?
Aunt Ye laughed out loud at this sight. It was rare for her to see Ye Yang take the initiative to speak.
Under normal circumstances, he would talk only when he was questioned!
Ever since they’d gotten a wife, Ye Yang had changed quite a lot.
The sun was almost setting by the time the couple left for home.
Aunt Ye had originally asked them to stay for dinner, but the two had not informed their family beforehand, so they did not stay.
“Yang, even if I misspeak next time, you shouldn’t call me out, do you hear me? That was very awkward!”
On the way home, Liu Duo kept a straight face as she berated Ye Yang.
He needed to reserve some honor for his wife, didn’t he?
Ye Yang looked down at his wife who was pouting, apparently unhappy with him. He shook his head. “I can’t do that!”
Liu Duo was stunned. She was not expecting that.
Yang used to obey her; when had he changed? This was terrible.
His wife’s lush, red lips stuck up even higher as a smile emerged from the corners of his mouth.
He patted Liu Duo on the head and said steadily, “Little Duo, people won’t laugh at error correction.”
They would become parents soon. They should lead by example in situations like this, shouldn’t they?
Honor, at times, was not that important.
