Chapter 982: She’s Our Wife!
“Just look at them. They’re definitely going on a journey!”
As he waited for his pa.s.sengers to get on his cart, w.a.n.g Tuozi was filled with curiosity and confusion.
“Come on up, brothers, are you getting on or not?” w.a.n.g Tuozi raised his voice at them.
The men had paid him to take them to town, but they were still saying their farewells to Aunt Li and the rest of their family.
He called out to them as villagers came by asking for a ride to town. He had to reject them to prevent overload.
Aunt Li knew they had to go. She still could not bear to part with them, but nevertheless said, “Alright, you should get on the cart now. I shan’t take up your time anymore. Stay safe, do you hear me?”
“Brothers, you must take care of my sister!” Liu Ran reminded the four men one last time. They all took their young brother-in-law’s message to heart.
Ye Yang, who spoke very little, nodded in acknowledgment.
They would take utmost care of Liu Duo, their greatest treasure, even if Liu Ran had not said so.
Ye Liu patted him on the head and grinned. “That’s a given, Ran Er. Rest a.s.sured. By the time we get back, you’ll see that your sister’s in the pink of health! She might even get chubbier.”
Ye Mo coolly said to him, “Do you have to keep saying that? She’s your sister, and our wife too!”
In other words, we don’t need to hear that from you!
Ye Mo seemed like he wanted to pick a fight whenever he spoke with Liu Ran. To this, Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him while she helplessly mumbled to herself. For someone so tall, he sure acts like a child!
In contrast, Ye Ling said very kindly, “Ran Er, we’ll take care of your sister better than we care for ourselves.”
Liu Duo came up to her brother, squatted down to his height and said, “Ran Er, during the time when we aren’t at home, if there’s anything you want, be it food or stationery or toys even, just tell Aunt Li…”
Liu Ran kept nodding at his sister’s instructions.
Finally, w.a.n.g Tuozi called out one last time. It was then that the five waved goodbye and stepped onto the cart.
Aunt Li and the others stood where they were as they watched the cart move out slowly.
Ye Mo suddenly thought of something. He looked back at Liu Ran and shouted, “Kid! Focus on your studies, you hear me! Do your homework properly when you get home, and I mean it! Make sure you finish it before you rest! Don’t you dare neglect your schoolwork! Or you’ll hear from me when we get back!”
“I get it! I don’t need to hear that from you!” Liu Ran retorted loudly.
Everyone laughed except Ye Mo when they heard the annoyance in his tone.
These two just loved to bicker whenever they got the chance!
w.a.n.g Tuozi, driving the cart, wanted to join in on their conversation, but there were other pa.s.sengers on board so he stayed silent.
There was an unmarried woman among them, who seemed to sneak a peek at Ye Liu whenever she got a chance.
Liu Duo saw that and whispered to Ye Liu, “Liuzi, look. That woman’s peeking at you.”
Ye Liu did not look back. He could feel it even without his wife telling him.
“Little Duo, haven’t you realized I’ve been looking at you too? Yet you don’t seem to return the favor. It hurts me so,” Ye Liu replied playfully.
How she would love to wipe that silly smirk off his face!
