Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers' Wife

Chapter 979 - Lunch!



Chapter 979: Lunch!

Ye Liu had told Liu Ran, as well as Aunt Li and Little Lian who came later, not to tell Ye Mo about Ye Lanlan’s visit.

He also found out from Aunt Li why they agreed to lend money to Ye Lanlan.

“It’s boring at home, so Ling and I went out for a walk,” Liu Duo simply replied.

She and Ye Liu shared the same idea about not telling Ye Mo for the time being.

Ye Ling wondered why his wife did not want to tell Ye Mo, but he did not cut her short. He also refrained from talking about it.

When Ye Liu heard that, he arched his eyebrows and smiled. Little Duo really knows me. It seems our thoughts are much more in sync now!

Ye Mo did not believe Liu Duo but he chose not to probe further. Since he shared a secret with his wife, it was not wrong for Ling to share one too.

Then, Ye Yang spoke. “Lunch!”

It had been a busy morning. All the food they had for breakfast had been thoroughly digested.

Liu Duo and Ye Ling wasted no time and went to the well to wash up. Then they returned to the house and sat by the table to have their meal.

After that Liu Duo went upstairs for her nap. Somehow, possibly because of Ye Lanlan’s visit or the fact that they were leaving tomorrow, she kept tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep.

“Why can’t I get any sleep?” she mumbled.

She lifted her hand and felt around on her flat belly.

Ever since her pregnancy was confirmed by Doctor Li, she would do that out of habit.

As she lay sideways on the bed and looked out the window, her thoughts drifted to what had happened a few hours before.

Ye Lanlan might not have a charming personality, but at least she had not done anything bad. Her skinny frame was currently pregnant with a new life, and that was a very honorable thing, yet her husband and her mother-in-law did not treat her well.

“Why am I thinking of this unimportant stuff? It has nothing to do with me!” Liu Duo muttered to herself.

In ancient times, once a woman got married or had a baby, it was a sad fact that she would focus on her husband and her child instead of herself.

Liu Duo recalled the scene where Ye Lanlan complained to the chief about her hard life. Liu Duo slightly furrowed her brow, disturbed by the woman’s tales. If she were in Ye Lanlan’s shoes, she would not have possibly continued to live with them!

Even if she was pregnant!

Ye Lanlan used to be such a proud person. She even considered divorce. Yet ever since she found out she was pregnant, she resisted all the hardships and stayed put in her husband’s house.

A lifetime could be neither long nor short. It would be meaningless not to live a happy one.

As time passed, sleep eventually overtook Liu Duo without her knowing.

“Ling, are you sure you don’t want to bring some flapjacks with you tomorrow?” Aunt Li asked Ye Ling.

She figured they should take some with them, in case they got hungry before they found shelter.

Ye Ling, who was helping to peel garlic, said gently, “No need. We’ll buy some along the way. It’s better to eat them while they’re hot.”

“Alright then. Do keep an eye on your belongings. Don’t lose sight of them,” Aunt Li began. She had been nagging and giving instructions on and off again these days.

Ye Ling listened to her patiently. Just like Liu Duo, he would not get tired of Aunt Li’s reminders.

They had less than a day left before their trip. Ye Yang, Ye Liu, Ye Mo, and Li Wazi were still working on the farm.
