While listening to Liu Duo’s song, a ripple formed in Ye Yang’s heart. A slight smile appeared on his face. It was just that Liu Duo did not see it, otherwise, she would have been clapping in celebration. The man who kept a poker face for tens of thousands of years also possessed other facial expressions!
When he saw they had arrived at the entrance of the village, Ye Yang picked up Liu Duo from his legs and placed her to sit by herself. He left a distance of a fist in between them. “We will arrive shortly. Just wait for a while.”
Although he did not show any expression, Liu Duo could feel the warmth. Ah, how considerate!
This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about the villagers gossiping and creating a bad reputation for Liu Duo!
Although Liu Duo did not mind, she believed that her husbands would slowly become like her in the future and wouldn’t mind all these messy things in the world.
They could see their yard gate. The two of them got off the ox cart. Ye Yang brought down the things they had bought, and Wang Tuozi drove the ox back towards his own house.
“The feeling of having one’s feet firmly planted on the ground is so good!” Liu Duo held the bag containing the rice and pushed opened the door. “Ling, we’re back.”
Ye Ling immediately came out when he heard her. He took the bag from her and smiled, “Duo Er, are you tired? Go and drink some water, quickly.”
“I’m not tired. We sat on the ox cart. My butt hurts a bit from the sitting.”
You sat on my leg and your butt still hurts? Ye Yang complained in his heart.
Ye Ling’s face got awkward when he heard she said her butt hurt. He said, feeling embarrassed, “It should be, because the roads are uneven, and that wood on the ox cart is hard. Next time bring a cushion. It should feel a lot better.
“That’s not needed.” Liu Duo rejected readily.
“Why?” Ye Ling did not understand. Didn’t her butt sit from sitting?
Liu Duo did not reply and stared at Ye Yang, who was holding a bag of coarse powder. She smiled in a way that contained a deeper meaning.
Ye Yang ignored Liu Duo’s gaze and said to Ye Ling, “We bought eighty jins of coarse powder and five jins of polished rice. The polished rice is for Duo Er.”
Ah, Yang is giving me special treatment? The polished rice is for me to eat! Liu Duo showed surprise on her face.
Ye Ling nodded in agreement. Before he opened his mouth, Ye Mo interjected from the side by exclaiming, “What? Bought five jins of polished rice for her? What a money sucking wife!”
Even the wives who were formally married into families did not enjoy the special privileges Liu Duo received! She was a shared wife, so why did she have it so good?
Ye Liu, who came back in from outside, heard Ye Mo’s roars and touched his ears, “Ye Mo, what are you getting mad about again?”
“I am indeed going insane. Yang spent a hundred wen to buy polished rice for this money sucking wife! That is a hundred wen. That can buy lots of coarse powder and feed us for dozens of days!” Ye Mo stared angrily at Liu Duo.
“And your royal highness is whining about this small issue? Don’t you find it embarrassing? Little Duo will eat rice every day! Our wife can eat whatever she wants to eat.” Yu Liu came beside Duo Er, placed his arms around her shoulder, and smiled attractively.
Both Ye Yang and Ye Ling felt that what Ye Liu said was right. If the wife wanted to eat rice, let her eat rice.
“…” Ye Mo looked at his own brother’s face and suddenly felt… the feeling of being isolated? He was doing it for the good of the family. If they could save, they should. After all, Ye Ling had to have his medication every month.
Ye Liu saw that Ye Mo wasn’t responding and said something very harsh, “Since you feel that Little Duo shouldn’t eat rice, then you should go find another wife for yourself and have her eat coarse powder with you! The three of us don’t want Little Duo to live a hard life.”
Liu Duo lifted up her head and looked at Ye Liu, who was beside her. He is so protective of me?
Ye Liu received Liu Duo’s gaze and winked his right eye to entice her, as if to say, Don’t worry. I will handle Mo. You can eat rice every day. I will take care of you!
