Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Her grandson couldn’t be interested in Liu Duo, could he? That bitch! Not only was she shameless, she had no respect at all. She had even beaten her up!

“Xuan Er, that girl is bad news. How dare she seduce you? I’m going to give her a piece of my mind!” Grandmother Ye said. She had actually come to hate her even more.

It was Ye Xuan’s turn to furrow his brow. He wasn’t pleased with what his grandmother had said. In all seriousness, he refused to let her talk about Liu Duo that way.

Furthermore, she had not seduced him. He found himself attracted to her! How he would wish for Liu Duo to seduce him!

“Grandma!” He stood up and shouted at her, before going to her side and grinning, “No, grandmother, don’t say it like that. How could Liu Duo seduce me? I was only joking. If you want to find a wife for me, then I shall leave it to you.”

He wouldn’t want Grandmother to trouble Liu Duo again. It wouldn’t be nice to Liu Duo and her reputation if things were to get out of hand.

Grandmother relaxed upon hearing that, but she still hated the girl very much. “Xuan Er, you can’t joke around like that! I’m going to look for Matchmaker Wang. You go ahead and study.”

With that, she left in a good mood. She had to find a suitable bride for her ambitious grandson.

Ye Xuan saw his door close and went back to his table. He took out his sketch of Liu Duo and examined her eyes carefully.

What do I need to do to have you? You shouldn’t be a shared wife. Yang and his brothers aren’t a good match for you!

He knew that the fortune they seemed to have suddenly struck, and the money they acquired to build a house and start a business, was all thanks to Liu Duo.

She was a lucky star, and a pretty one at that, with a remarkable personality. If she were with him, he would certainly have a bright future in scholarship.

Suddenly, Liu Duo sneezed, and she rubbed her nose, “Who’s missing me now?”

“That would be me, Little Duo,” Ye Liu suddenly spoke up as he stood grinning behind her.

She straightened herself in her seat and glared at him, “Liuzi, why did you do that out of the blue? Were you planning to scare me?”

Ye Liu reached out and patted her on the back in an attempt to drive her fears away, “Little Duo, I had such a wonderful voice. How could that scare you?”

Nonsense! That’s a natural reaction, alright? “Geez… Liuzi, you’re free now, right? We have a lot of unprocessed bamboo shoots, so get on with it.”

But Ye Liu grabbed a stool and sat down beside her, “Little Duo, I have something to discuss with you. I’ll help later.”

She twitched her lips when he said that. If there was anything he needed to say, why did he have to get so near? “What is it?”

“Little Duo, we can’t keep selling fresh bamboo shoots everyday. Why don’t we parboil the smell away, and leave them out to dry? That way they can be kept longer, and they’re easier to be carried around.”

It was a sudden thought. When the weather became hotter, the fresh ones couldn’t be kept for long.

The way she had understood it, he meant to sell them as dried goods! He really did have talent in business. She had never thought of that!

Then Ye Liu continued, “That way, we can sell those bamboo shoots to other places. We won’t be confined to this peaceful town!”

Wow, who would have thought Liuzi had such a great ambition? They had been buying bamboo shoots from the few villages nearby, and they currently had quite a considerable income, and still he wanted more?

He was a man, and he was one with such an idea too. Liu Duo was very much in favour of it.
