Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife
-
chapter-15
The two of them walked for about ten minutes, and they arrived at the front of a house. Ye Ling knocked on the door. “Third Aunt, Liu Duo and I have brought over some meat. Open the door.”
Aunt Ye was sewing the sole of a shoe. When she heard Ye Ling’s voice, she put down her things and trotted over to open the door.
“Ye Ling, Liu Duo, come in.” She smiled while holding Liu Duo’s hands. They headed to the living room.
Ye Ling headed straight to the kitchen while holding the meat.
“Liu Duo, come here and sit. Drink some water.” Aunt Ye was cordial and hospitable.“Thank you, Aunt Ye.” Liu Duo received the water politely, took a sip, and placed the cup on the table.
Liu Duo felt a bit awkward. She didn’t know what to talk about with Aunt Ye. After all, they weren’t familiar with each other.
After he set down the meat, Ye Ling walked over. “Aunt Ye, I’ve placed the meat in the wooden basin on the kitchen stove. I’ve covered it with a lid to prevent the cat from stealing it.”
“Okay. Thank you, Ye Ling.” Aunt Ye laughed. She especially liked Ye Ling among the four brothers.
Liu Duo winked at Ye Ling, signaling him to leave. Ye Ling received Liu Duo’s message and wanted to be gentle. “Aunt Ye, we should get going. I still want to bring Duo Er to see our vegetable and paddy field.”
Knowing that young people like them barely had anything to talk about with an old granny like her, Third Aunt said, “Okay. Take your wife for a stroll.”
“Then we shall get going, Aunt Ye. Goodbye.” Ye Ling got up with Liu Duo and headed out.“Go, go.” Aunt Ye waved her hands.
While walking down the road, Ye Ling’s face was nervous. He said to Liu Duo, “Liu Duo, our household only has two mu of vegetable field and one mu of paddy field.”
Their property really is a bit lacking! Liu Duo pouted in her heart. But it was okay. In the future, they would have more vegetable fields, and they would have more paddy fields. Their house would also be spacious!
When she woke up, she discovered the Ye family only had one yard, two bedrooms, one kitchen, one toilet, and one well.
Ye Ling felt uneasy when he noticed Liu Duo wasn’t smiling or talking. “Duo Er. You can rest assured, in the future, my brothers and I will work hard to let you live a better life.”
Liu Duo said while she walked, “Ling, what are you nervous about? That I might dislike you guys for being poor and then run away?”
Actually in the beginning, besides the reason of being the shared wife of us four brothers, she did dislike our family for being poor! However, Ye Ling did not dare to say it aloud. Furthermore, he believed Liu Duo’s words. She already said she wouldn’t run away again!
Ye Ling pursed his lips and did not respond. Although he believed Duo Er, he still felt a bit worried in his heart. After all, their family was really poor.
“Okay, don’t look so unhappy. It doesn’t suit you.” Liu Duo held Ye Ling’s hand. “Ling, believe it or not, even though our family does not have large vegetable fields, paddy fields, or many bedrooms, I don’t mind it.”
“I will work hard together with you guys to create our new family, to change our current situation. I don’t wish for a life of wealth. I only hope we can all live happily with good health.”
In her past life, Liu Duo had no worries about her clothes or her food. She was a second generation nouveau riche, but she didn’t have a happy life. Every time she went to the doctor for an examination, she would always think, if I had a healthy body, I wouldn’t even mind if I were poor.
People who had not experienced illness or torture would not be able to understand these kinds of unreasonable demands.
The warmth that transmitted through her hands made Ye Ling no longer nervous. His heartbeat also didn’t increase from being shy. He only felt a sense of relief. He believed every word that Liu Duo said.
“I believe. I believe, Duo Er. Let all five of us work hard together.” Ye Ling gripped back onto Liu Duo’s hand. At this moment, he no longer worried about having the villagers see them holding hands or their gossip.
