Chapter 52: Sigh
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Sigh, I never had a time when I didn’t have enough money in the past. Now, I even have to be careful when spending one wen. Money is really something that one can’t lack, no matter what generation it is.
Liu Duo looked for a while, and in the end, she still turned around and left regretfully. Buying sweets had already become a luxury now.
Just wait longer. It will get better! Liu Duo encouraged herself.
Liu Duo walked around the entire street and didn’t buy anything. She then went back, following the same street. She prepared to return to w.a.n.g Tuozi’s ox cart to wait for Ye Liu so that they could go home together.
When she turned around, she didn’t even give Ye Mo a glance. This went beyond just ignoring him. Ye Mo still followed Liu Duo like her shadow.
After walking for a while, she could see w.a.n.g Tuozi’s ox cart far off in the distance. She went over and saw that w.a.n.g Tuozi did not use the cus.h.i.+on and it was still on the cart. She went and sat on it straight away.
“Uncle w.a.n.g, I’ll pay later. Ye Liu hasn’t arrived yet.” She said politely to w.a.n.g Tuozi.
w.a.n.g Tuozi smoked a puff of tobacco and nodded. He saw that Liu Duo changed into new clothes. It was even made of brocade. He couldn’t help but look a few more times.
He thought, This brother from the Ye family is quite willing to spend money on this shared wife. He bought both polished rice and brocade clothes.
w.a.n.g Tuozi saw Ye Mo and waved his hands at him. In response, Ye Mo walked over and also sat on the rock.
“Third brother of the Ye family, where is your second brother? Why aren’t you together?”
“He went to the port. He will come here soon.” He answered truthfully.
He nodded. “That little wife of yours is quite good at spending money. You guys indeed need to work a bit harder. Although doting on the wife is a good thing, don’t go overboard. Doesn’t Ling still need to take medicine every month?”
He knew what w.a.n.g Tuozi meant. w.a.n.g Tuozi thought that the clothes on Liu Duo’s body cost quite a bit. However, he was not allowed to tell w.a.n.g Tuozi. After all, that matter couldn’t be announced right now.
He only nodded his head and said okay. Moreover, she had gained it by herself, and it didn’t have anything to do with them.
It was getting late, and one after another, the villagers who had come to town to conduct business or buy things were starting to go back to the village.
Ye Liu still hadn’t come after a while. Liu Duo was a bit anxious.
“What is he doing that he hasn’t come back?” Liu Duo got off the ox cart and walked forward. She then stopped and then paced back and forth.
The people who were taking the ox cart home had already pressed w.a.n.g Tuozi quite a few times.
“Uncle w.a.n.g, are you going or not? My family is waiting for me to go back to have lunch!”
“Yeah. We’ve waited for so long.”
…
Liu Duo took the cus.h.i.+on in her hands. “Sorry, Uncle w.a.n.g. You drive your ox. I’m not coming anymore. Sorry, everyone, for delaying your trip.”
She didn’t want to delay others from going home because of her.
“Okay. We will be going.” w.a.n.g Tuozi drove the ox cart away.
After all, he couldn’t waste the other pa.s.sengers’ time for one pa.s.senger.
Liu Duo paced back and forth. She looked ahead and wanted to go to the port to take a look, but she was afraid that she might miss Ye Liu.
Ye Mo walked over and said, “Don’t be anxious. Liu was probably delayed by something. Let’s keep waiting.”
“…” Didn’t he just go to look whether there was any temporary work? Why would there be anything that would hold him up?
Another ten minutes pa.s.sed and Ye Liu still hadn’t returned. Liu Duo’s brows firmed up. What exactly was he doing?
She walked towards the street and randomly asked a few people how to get to the port. She then walked in that direction. Ye Mo followed closely behind.
Although Ye Mo said he knew where the port was, Liu Duo didn’t ask him. Instead, she went and asked pa.s.sersby. He felt a bit unhappy in his heart but didn’t mind too much. After all, finding Liu was more important!
He still knew what to prioritize. Liu had never misspoken before. Did something really go wrong this time?
