Ye Ling heard Liu Duo calling for him and rushed out quickly. Whats wrong, Liu Duo? Whats happened with Mo?

Ye Ling looked at Liu Duo, and looked again at Ye Mo who was not far away. He could not figure out what happened between the two of them!

Nothing. Ling, can you help me draw some water? I cant do it, Liu Duo gazed at gentle Ye Ling, who was becoming easier on the eyes the longer she looked.

Sure. Call me next time you need it done. Ill help you.

Alright. Thank you, Ling.

Ye Mo observed the friendly interaction between the two and let out a snort as he walked towards the kitchen.

Liu Duo washed her cloth and let it hang dry on the rope to the side. She would wait for it to dry before sewing some charcoal into it.

Night came soon enough. Households prepared dinner and waited for family members to come home for food after a busy day at work.

Liu Duo, Ye Mo, and Ye Ling sat by their table and dug in. Each of them had one bowlful of paste, one plate of fermented vegetables, and one plate of white cabbage. The vegetables were boiled, and not even a little oil could be seen.

Liu Duo thought, paste again! They were truly poor! She made a note to earn more money in the future, to strive for prosperity!

As Ye Ling and Ye Mo gobbled up their food, Liu Duo held her bowl and ate slowly. She took a bite of the cabbage, her eyes furrowed as she swallowed it.

Ye Mo had been watching her, as he too furrowed his straight, handsome brows, and slammed his chopsticks on the table, Dont eat it then, if it tastes so bad! I didnt see you eating anything nearly as good back at your old place!

Ye Ling and Liu Duo were both shocked by Ye Mos sudden act of madness.

He cant really be mental, can he? Liu Duo furrowed her brows.

She put her bowl and chopsticks down, and faced Ye Mo, Youre sick, arent you? If so, go see a doctor. Dont go scaring people like a mad dog!

Yes, I find it hard to swallow, so what? Ill eat if I want to, unless I dont. Who are you to order me?

What does it have to do with you whether I ate well or not at my old home? If you dont like it then send me back! Its not like I begged you to buy me! Ridiculous!

You want to go crazy? Do it on your own! Ling and I have no time to bother with you! Going off like that would have given others a heart attack if they hadnt had one already! Dont mess with me, and I wont mess with you. This had always been Liu Duos motto!

As all the words flowed out from Liu Duos mouth, Ye Ling could not help but think, the wife is so scary.

Ye Mo thought, sharp-tongued woman, how dare she talks back to me like that! You

Me what? Dont speak at all, if all you can do is stutter. Its embarrassing! Nothing good would come out from anyone who dared to mess with her!

Ye Mos anger turned into appetite. He finished his food in several mouthfuls, tossed his chopsticks and bowl, and left for the kitchen.

Pffft Liu Duo rolled her eyes, giving no regard.

My dear wife, please dont be mad. my brother is really a good man, with a slightly bad temper, Ye Ling advised. He did not want estrangement to appear between them.

As she listened to his gentle words, Liu Duo smiled. Hes the better one, so handsome and kind.

Lets not talk about him, the foods getting cold. As she spoke, Liu Duo took some cabbage and placed it into Ye Lings bowl.

Ye Ling gazed at the vegetables in his bowl. The wife was not that fierce. In fact, she was great. He ate happily.

After dinner, Liu Duo helped Ye Ling clean up the dishes and the table. She did what she could to prevent the mad man from messing with her again.

Liu Duo did not want to be spooked by Ye Mo every other day. Her heart could not take it! The best way to deal with people who had nothing better to do was to stay far away from them.

Although they would have to see each other again, one way or another, she just did not want to bother with him. After all, she did not like quarreling!
