Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife-Chapter 972 - Not As Strong As Before!

Chapter 972: Not As Strong As Before!

“Sure, I won’t be long.” Liu Duo giggled and nodded.

She just loved seeing Ye Ling in the morning. She felt so much better.

Ye Mo followed her to wash up by the well, then they came back for breakfast.

Ye Liu, who had finished his meal long ago, had gone to town alone. Ye Yang and Li Wazi had left to work on the farm.

“Ling, has Liu gone to town?” Ye Mo simply asked.

Liu Liushi would give her a reply today. He supposed Ye Liu must have gone to town for that.

“Yes, right after breakfast,” Ye Ling answered.

Ye Mo turned to face Liu Ran. “And why didn’t you go with him, kid? Usually, you can’t wait to see your mother!”

He was surprised Liu Ran did not go with Ye Liu.

Liu Ran might be physically here in their house, but his mind and spirit might have drifted off to be with Liu Quanfu with Liu Liushi.

In his personal opinion, Ye Mo understood that it was expected, even reasonable, for a child to miss their parents. However, did the parents, who agreed to sell their children out of blind filial piety, deserve such love?

If it were him, he would not have cared!

Liu Ran looked up from his book and snorted, “Why do you care? Don’t interrupt my reading!”

After they left Liu Liushi’s place the previous day, he had realized that he did not miss them as much as he used to.

At least, his longing for them was not as strong as what he felt in the past!

So, when Ye Liu announced that he was going to town, Liu Ran never thought about tagging along.

“Can’t you shut up when you eat?” Liu Duo rolled her eyes at Ye Mo.

She’d had enough of this man and his tendency to pick fights with Liu Ran.

Ye Ling also disagreed with Ye Mo’s behavior and gave him a blameful glance.

Ye Mo said nothing more and resumed eating, all the while thinking enviously, I’m just speaking to that kid, and then these two jump on my case like that? I’m not even scolding or beating him!

In town.

Once Ye Liu walked into town, he went straight to the shop where the couple worked. Liu Liushi was already standing at the shop entrance.

“Mom, have you been waiting for me?” Ye Liu said gleefully as he approached.

He did not expect Liu Liushi to give him a reply so hurriedly.

Liu Liushi got lost in her thoughts for a moment when she saw Ye Liu, who was extraordinarily handsome to begin with, appear in public in a brocade robe.

He looked like a rich man indeed.

A thought suddenly hatched in her head. Perhaps her daughter was a lucky girl after all to have married into the right family.

Liu Duo might be a shared wife, but her four husbands were all impeccably good-looking. Most importantly, they loved her to the moon and back, and allowed her to live a pampered life.

Other shared wives in the village were not that lucky!

“Yes, I have,” Liu Liushi admitted honestly. She had no incentive to lie. “Liu, I regret to say that I can’t take on your offer.”

Liu Liushi apologized, but before Ye Liu could say anything, she added some more, “My husband and I can’t afford to lose our jobs. The owner appreciates our work and doesn’t want us to quit. In fact, he has just given us a raise.

Ye Liu kept his smile throughout the conversation.

He was half-expecting this conclusion anyway ever since yesterday when he felt Liu Liushi’s unwillingness. Who knew she would really turn him down?

If she were to come stay at their home, by the time they got back from the capital, they probably would not let her leave so easily.
