Chapter 662: Ye Liu Smiled Like An Idiot
He might not have seen what would happen if women did not use the cloth on their periods, but he a.s.sumed it would be a scary sight, as blood flowed down the legs and pooled on the ground.
Liu Duo was left speechless. Judging by his tone, he was acting like a nagging mother.
Seeing how he had helped her find her dudou and underwear, Liu Duo had to give him some credit. He might be quite unpleasant sometimes but every now and then some of his fine qualities would show up. At least he showed that he cared.
Since he would not leave, Liu Duo resolved to a compromise and let him wipe away her sweat.
“Alright, I’m all clean now just like you wanted, so you can go down now. If there are villagers coming to sell tomatoes, remember to record the amount. The others don’t know how to do that.”
She pushed him towards the door as she said that.
This time Ye Mo was unusually obedient. He let her push him out of the door and made his way downstairs, just like he was told.
Er…
Liu Duo could not get used to his compliance just yet.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he was like this every single time?
Liu Duo laughed at the idea. “If Mo were to become exactly like what I imagined and listen to my every word unconditionally, then the sun would rise from the west!”
She shook her head at the ridiculousness and changed into her clothes, setting the cloth in place as well before heading downstairs.
When she got there, she found Dongfang Ming teaching Ye Liu and Ye Ling how to write. Yet Ye Mo, who had come down earlier, was not with them.
“Ling,” Liu Duo called out with a smile.
The men turned to look at her.
“Yo, the lazy pig finally woke up. I thought I’d have to go and call you again.”
He smiled at her like an idiot.
Ye Ling unknowingly started to blush again as Liu Duo stepped closer.
Dongfang Ming gave her a smile too. This was his first time meeting a married woman who was such a sleepyhead.
In the capital, any other woman would not have the guts to take such a long nap, whether they were married or not.
It would give the in-laws the impression that this particular woman was lazy and not productive.
Liu Duo rolled her eyes at Ye Liu’s intentional teasing. He knew Ye Mo had her trapped and hence she could not come down earlier. He just wanted to tick her off!
“Dongfang, thank you so much for helping Liuzi and Ling brush up on their reading and writing.” Liu Duo swung by and sat on her armchair.
Ye Liu loved how adorable she got when she rolled her eyes and ignored him.
When Dongfang Ming heard her say that, he laughed and shook his head. “It’s nothing, no need to thank me. If you say that, I may think you’re keeping me at a distance.”
“Haha… Alright, I take it back then. Do teach them as much as you can.”
Liu Duo smiled charmingly. Dongfang Ming seemed to be quite an interesting man.
Ye Liu put down his brush and said to her, “Little Duo, Brother Dongfang plans to go lotus viewing at the Lotus Village. Why don’t you and Ling go with him?”
The three older brothers would not have the time to go, and they did not know anything about admiring flora anyway. They still had work to do on a daily basis. If the tomatoes were left too long and overmatured, the taste of the tomato sauce would not be the same and it could easily spoil the broth.
Liu Duo did not object to that. She could use some time off. It had been a long time since coming here and she had not been to the villages nearby. She nodded in agreement.
