Chapter 685: Let Ling Marry Li Chunmei? Marry My a.s.s!
“Have you guys heard? Li Chunmei’s mother talked about her unwed’s daughter’s marriage. It is to that windowed Old Liu from the neighboring village. He is already forty-five years old. Isn’t this pus.h.i.+ng her own unwed daughter into a pit of fire? Old Liu already has one foot in his casket.”
“But which family would accept such a scheming girl like Li Chunmei? She ruined her own reputation by doing something so immoral.”
“…” A few women kept going back and forth.
Liu Duo walked behind them at a distance. She listened to them gossip and didn’t feel anything for Li Chunmei. She just felt it was all Li Chunmei’s own fault. This was what she deserved for going after someone else’s man!
After some time pa.s.sed again, one of the women suddenly said, “But don’t you guys think that shared wife of the Ye family’s belly hasn’t changed at all? She has already been in the Ye family for quite a few months, right?”
“That’s right. Besides the fourth brother whose body is a bit weak, the other three older brothers’ bodies are quite st.u.r.dy. There’s no way they are not capable, right?”
The topic of the women’s gossip suddenly changed to Liu Duo.
In response, Liu Duo lifted the corner of her mouth. She was speechless! What the h.e.l.l did her belly not having any change have anything to do with them?
She just couldn’t understand why these women just loved to gossip about other people.
“Do you guys think it might be because that shared wife is infertile? Wouldn’t that mean those four brothers of the Ye family will have no descendants?”
Didn’t their family only buy a shared wife back then because they were too poor to afford wives and wanted to continue their family tree?
“That’s right, that’s right. With the condition their family is in right now, it wouldn’t be a problem even if each of them married two wives.”
The women got more and more excited as they talked about this. They really hoped the four Ye brothers would find other wives and for those wives to be the unwed daughters of their families.
At this time, one of the women said again, “The Ye brothers’ family condition is quite good right now. But have you guys noticed, it was only after that shared wife appeared in their family that it slowly got better?”
When the other women heard her, they became quiet. It felt like that was indeed the case.
“It is impossible the four Ye brothers will marry someone else!” the woman said very confidently. “The four brothers really value relations and righteousness. There is no way they would abandon that shared wife just because their family’s situation has improved. Even if there is no sign of change in that shared wife’s belly, they won’t take other wives unless the shared wife agrees.”
“If that shared wife is able to give in, wouldn’t Li Chunmei be able to marry the fourth brother?!”
“Yeah, although Chunmei did wrong, it would be fine as long as she could give birth.”
Liu Duo listened to their conversation and frowned. Why did it feel like they were accusing her of hanging onto her position but being unwilling to do what was required of her?
Let Ling marry Li Chunmei? Marry my a.s.s!
She cleared her throat and shouted at them, “Hey! Do you guys have nothing else to do but gossip about others all day? Go and do more work if you are so free! Otherwise, a loose tongue can cause a lot of trouble.”
When the women heard her, they turned around and saw Liu Duo not far away, wearing a lemon-colored dress.
All of them had a tacit understanding and shut their mouths together. All of them had heard Liu Duo was very skilled with her mouth. Moreover, Ye Mo also had a well-known reputation. They didn’t dare to talk about Liu Duo right in front of her.
In response, Liu Duo didn’t say anything else and just went straight for her family’s own vegetable fields.
The women waited until she went further before muttering again, “This shared wife of the Ye family looks fair, delicate and gentle, but why is it when she speaks, she is so ferocious?”
“You cannot judge a book by its cover!” another woman continued. “Let’s go. The weather is cool today so we should quickly go and pull out the weeds in the vegetable fields.”
