Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

He had been waiting for months, and now he was a father. Why wouldn’t he be happy? Li Wazi had come all the way just to tell them, but he hadn’t even told a single one of his relatives.

They never visited anyway, and they looked down on him for being poor, so Li Wazi couldn’t care less about them.

“Your wife gave birth? Is it a boy or a girl?” Ye Mo asked.

He knew Li Wazi had always wanted a son and didn’t know if it had really happened.

Li Wazi sat on a stool and drank from the cup of water Ye Ling had passed to him. “Boy! It’s a boy! My wife’s so wonderful, giving me a son for my first child. Haha…”

Hearing that, Ye Mo looked at Liu Duo and thought, So what? My wife will give us a son on our first try too!

She could feel Ye Mo’s strange gaze lingering on her and stared back, brow furrowed. She thought, Oh, you want me to give birth to a son, is that it? That’s why you’re staring at me? Hmph, talk about preferential treatment for girls and boys!

He found Liu Duo staring at him. Her fair cheeks, faint smile, and big eyes were brimming with exceptional vigour. Her beauty mark and dimples were especially attractive.

Ye Mo diverted his gaze while his heart beat quickly. He realised Liu Duo had been extraordinarily beautiful recently. Was he imagining things?

“Let’s go visit,” Ye Yang stood up and went out, followed by Ye Ling.

Ye Liu took Liu Duo to the room to get some money. It would be rude to go empty-handed.

She opened the case exclusively used to store their cash and asked, “Liuzi, how much should we give?”

Liu Duo didn’t know how much was enough to be called a gift during these ancient times.

Ye Liu leaned against the door and goofed, “Liu Duo, you’re our fortune master, so whatever you say goes.”

Liu Duo didn’t plan on asking him again. He wouldn’t give a straight answer. She took out a considerable amount and locked the case before following them to Li Wazi’s house.

Li Wazi’s house wasn’t that far away from theirs. It also had two rooms and a kitchen. The interior decorations weren’t very different from their own house. Other than the basics, they didn’t have much else.

“Mother, Ye Yang and his family are here to see Little Lian,” Li Wazi called for Aunt Li, who was accompanying Little Lian.

Aunt Li quickly went out and welcomed the visitors when she heard her son calling. Her son was always in contact with Ye Yang and the gang. They were like family to him, and she liked the four brothers very much.

Yang, you all came. Come, have a seat. Gen Er, go serve them water,” Aunt Li greeted them warmly.

“Aunt Li, no need for that. We’ll make ourselves at home,” Ye Liu sat down and said joyfully.

“Right. Liu’s right. Treat our home just like yours. And this must be your wife. Just look at her. She looks absolutely stunning,” Aunt Li addressed Liu Duo kindly.

Liu Duo observed Aunt Li too. She must have been about forty years old, but the years hadn’t been kind to her, and work must have made her look ten years older. She seemed gentle, and easy to get along with, otherwise Ye Liu wouldn’t have talked to her like that.

“Thank you for the praise, Aunt Li. You can call me Little Duo,” she smiled. She quite liked this woman.

“Aunt Li, please accept our token,” Liu Duo said as she passed the money to Aunt Li.

Aunt Li nodded and accepted it with a smile. This was basic courtesy, not that she was greedy.
