Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers' Wife

Chapter 116: Questioned

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Liu Duo’s face dimmed as coldness spread around her. Ye Ling was slow to react and could not figure out what had happened to her.

He went under the roof and asked her, out of concern, “Duo Er, are you alright?”

The words were directed to her, but his pleading eyes were searching Ye Yang for an answer.

Ye Yang shook his head, knowing nothing.

Ye Ling sat on her other side, looking at her sideways, “Duo Er, why are you unhappy? Did anything happen?”

“...” She stayed silent.

He asked her gently. He did not want to see her sad. He wished Ye Liu was home. Only Ye Liu could strike up a conversation with her.

Ye Yang spoke few words, Ye Mo talked without thinking, and Ye Ling was not very smart in that department. The three of them were not good at consolation.

The silence dragged on until Ye Mo returned.

One foot into the yard and Ye Mo could sense a trail of fury was aimed at him.

He looked up to find Liu Duo’s dimmed face looking at him, with Ye Yang and Ye Ling on either side of her furrowing their brows.

Ye Mo found them quite odd. He walked to the side and put down the basket on his back. It was then that he heard Liu Duo’s angry bellow.

“Little Mo, you get over here this instant!”

He looked at her and furrowed his brows too. What’s this about? He thought and went ahead anyway, “What’s this about?”

When Ye Yang and Ye Ling heard her shout at Ye Mo, they also looked at him, their eyes asking, what did you do?

His brothers’ soundless questions confused him. What did I do? Nothing.

He furrowed his brows and shook his head, I didn’t do anything.

“What did you do outside?” Liu Duo asked, face still dim.

Bastard, how dare you get involved with other women! Die! Liu Duo was consumed by rage. He had also taken his time coming home.

Didn’t Mo go to chop firewood? That was what Ye Yang and Ye Ling were thinking, so they were confused by Liu Duo’s question.

Ye Mo was like a student who had made a mistake, standing there, confronted by his teacher.

“I went to chop wood. You all know that.”

Why did she ask me like that? He felt it was strange. What would he be doing if not chopping wood?

“Tell me everything that happened from the moment you went out to the moment you came back!”

Ye Mo was not stupid. He knew that other than chopping wood he also met Li Chunmei, who had injured her foot, and he carried her home. Did Liu Duo see that? Was that why she was angry?

So he answered honestly, like an obedient child, “I carried a basket and took an axe with me to chop wood. Along the way, I met Chunmei, who had also gone to chop wood.”

“Then she injured her foot, so I took her home. After that I came back.”

What he had done was as simple as that.

Ye yang and Ye Ling listened and felt there was nothing wrong with that, so why was Liu Duo angry?

The three looked at her unanimously, waiting for her to speak, like servants serving the lady of the house.

Liu Duo, face still dim with a tint of rage, asked further, “Is that all? How did you take her home?”

“I held her, of course. It’s not like I should carry her, right?” Ye Mo rolled his eyes at Liu Duo, calling her silly. How could he carry an unmarried girl? If she’s married, that’s a bigger reason not to!”

Looking at Ye Mo, feeling as though he had won, Liu Duo gritted her teeth and held back her voice, “Who are you to her?”

“I’m not anyone to her – just a friendly neighbour.”

He had not realised the cause of her fury as he remained cool.
