“Aunt Li, we really should pay you for the work. After all, this isn’t a small field. It requires a lot of effort and energy. We will feel guilty if we don’t pay you!
“Aunt Li, if you really are our Aunt, you will do as I say. Otherwise, we will have no other choice but to hire someone else!”
Ye Liu didn’t look like he was joking at all. He looked to be very stern and serious.
At this time, Ye Yang said calmly and unhurriedly, “Aunt Li, you should take it!”
Aunt Li opened her mouth and wanted to say something but Li Wazi was faster than her by a step. “Mother, since Yang and Liu already said as such, let’s not say anything else. If they really hired someone else to look after their house, they might not be diligent in taking care of it. After all, Yang and the others will be gone for a few months.”
He felt that, whether Ye Yang and the others paid them or not, they definitely should help. The reason he said this was mainly because he didn’t want them to suffer losses.
Since her own son had already said as such, Aunt Li no longer said anything about not wanting to take their money.
After Ye Mo and Ye Ling finished washing the dishes, they walked together towards the others.
“Liu, Li Wazi, we can head out now.” Ye Mo went to get the sacks as he spoke.
Today was the last day they were going to purchase tomatoes. They couldn’t forget to bring even one of the things they needed. Ye Liu nodded, got up, and went to the backyard to get the bull. Li Wazi, on the other hand, got the cart ready.
After they put the bullock-cart together, the three of them rode the bullock-cart and went out…
“Little Yang, when are you guys preparing to leave? You have to take care of the girl while you guys are on the road since she is pregnant with twins right now.” Aunt Li looked at Ye Yang and Ye Ling and spoke with concern.
Ye Yang still looked the same as always and answered very concisely, “Soon.”
Err…
Aunt Li didn’t really understand what ‘soon’ meant and was momentarily stunned.
She had never been able to understand why Ye Yang was so dull and untalkative.
Ye Ling casually helped to supplement with some information and said, “Aunt Li, once Liu and the others have asked mother to come to look after the house, we will leave. It might be in three or four days.”
It was after Aunt Li heard him that she finally understood that ‘soon’ meant in three or four days!
She looked around the yard and gave her opinion. “Your mother-in-law will be coming to take care of the house but she will be living alone in this big house. She might not be able to cope if something bad happens. After all, that old hag from your family might take advantage of the fact that you guys are somewhere far away and come to cause a scene.”
It was no surprise Aunt Li would think this. After all, that old hag from the Ye family courtyard had a bad reputation. She had also lost out a few times so she would definitely come to kick up a fuss to try to gain something while Ye Yang and the others were gone!
She had seen Liu Liushi before. She had a very gentle personality and was easy to get along with. She could tell with one glance that she would be no match for Grandma Ye.
When Ye Ling heard what she said, he frowned slightly. They had not thought about this fact. They thought they just needed to plan for what would happen internally but had forgotten to guard against external problems.
He looked at Ye Yang to see if he had an idea to solve this problem.
Ye Yang received the words that were in Ling’s gaze. With his usual expression, it was only after he thought about it for a while that he said unhurriedly, “Aunt Li, can you come and live here?”
He figured Li Wazi and the others would come here to build a new house anyway. Although it was still some time away, they would be able to help them with the work after they came back.
They had many rooms in the house as well. They would also be able to save the time they needed to come to and from every day.
When Aunt Li heard him, she didn’t even have to think about it before promising him, “Okay, Aunt Li will help you take care of your house with your mother-in-law.”
