Chapter 738: This Woman Is Really Unaware Of Her Own Situation!
Liu Duo was not finished. “We won’t lend you money, and we won’t ever let an outsider stay in our house, so your best bet is to seek the village chief. He’s responsible for helping villagers facing difficulties. He’ll think of something. Asking us won’t work, OK?”
She might have had a certain degree of sympathy towards Ye Lanlan, but that did not mean she would lend a helping hand; after all, she was not a saint. How had the members on that side of the family treated the Ye brothers at the very beginning? Liu Duo was merely returning the favor.
Moreover, Ye Lanlan might not be telling the truth!
Ye Lanlan faced Liu Duo. She might not understand what ‘OK’ meant, but she received the other hints. Firstly, they would not lend her money. Secondly, she was an outsider to them.
“Liu Duo, how can you say that? Blood is thicker than water, and no matter how many years they have been separated from the family, I’m still their cousin! You, on the other hand, have only been their shared wife for a short time. On what grounds can you call me an outsider?” Ye Lanlan countered boldly.
She stood up, probably due to the discomfort of sitting too long, and held on to her pregnant belly. Her body language basically screamed, you’re not even pregnant with any of their children yet, and you call me an outsider? Are you qualified?
There was an unwritten rule in the farming village. If a married woman had yet to give birth to her husband’s child, then she was not considered part of the family!
Hehe…
Liu Duo found her statement quite hilarious, as she lightly shook her head, thinking, wow, this woman is really unaware of her own situation!
“Ye Lanlan, you can leave now!”
“Ye Lanlan, get out of my face!”
Ye Liu and Ye Mo’s angry voices rang out at the same time. Ye Yang’s eyes glared at her coldly, and what little bit of pity Ye Ling had for her vanished without a trace.
Their wife was their life, and they would never allow anyone to smear her name like that!
“Liu, Mo, you…”
Whatever Ye Lanlan wanted to say, Ye Liu and Ye Mo would have none of it. They immediately sprang into action, like they would carry her out themselves.
“Are you leaving on your own or do we have to get you moving? Don’t think that just because you’re pregnant you can stop us from dragging you out!” Ye Mo exclaimed, running out of patience.
Frankly, he could not understand why Liu Duo was not pregnant yet. He was getting fl.u.s.tered, and this had always been his biggest taboo!
And yet Ye Lanlan was right here insinuating that Liu Duo was infertile?
Tears came falling down again. “Mo, I’m your cousin. You can’t do this to me. If you can’t lend me money, then let me stay here! I’m begging you…”
This was a good place to stay. There was food and comfort. Her baby would have a good life. So she decided not to borrow money but request to stay here.
Hehe… It seemed like she did not want to leave.
Without a word, Ye Mo and Ye Liu came to either side of her, grabbed her by the shoulders and were about to drag her out of the yard.
“Liu, Mo, you can’t do this…” Ye Lanlan turned on the waterworks and cried at an ear-piercing volume.
Aunt Li came out from the kitchen when she heard the noise, wondering what was causing the ruckus. She shrieked in surprise. What’s going on here?
She sped towards Liu Duo and the men, asking, “What’s going on here? Is Ye Lanlan here for trouble? Liu and Mo are hurting her.”
A pregnant person such as her was basically off-limits to be touched.
