Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

It was noon by the time they got home, but Liu Duo did not feel hungry.

They got down from the ox cart and took their things. Wang Tuozi went home after that.

“You stay here. I’ll take these two big bags inside first and come back for the others,” As Ye Mo said that, he lifted the two big bags onto his shoulders.

“Take one first. Two might be too heavy,” Liu Duo advised, considering his smaller frame. She feared he would be crushed. Home was at least a few minutes away.

If it were Ye Yang, Liu Duo supposed he could have managed that feat.

Ye Mo obediently nodded, something he rarely did, when Liu Duo showed concern for him. He carried one bag of fine powder towards their house.

Liu Duo stood there waiting. She looked at the food and supplies she had bought. A look of delight brightened her face. Having money is great! I can finally buy whatever I want!

Ye Mo took the big bag of fine powder home to find Ye Yang and Ye Ling cleaning up chicken feathers in the yard. Obviously, they had just finished selling off the pheasants Yang had caught.

He muttered to himself, It’ll be another night before I can sleep with the wife again!

“Yang, you’re back,” Ye Mo carried the bag of fine powder into the yard and greeted them.

Ye Yang responded with a, “Yes,” and looked behind Ye Mo.

“Mo, what are you carrying? Where’s Duo Er?” Ye Ling asked curiously. They had gone to town, Liu Duo had disappeared, and Ye Mo had come back with a big sack.

Ye Yang turned to Ye Mo, waiting for an answer. He did not see Liu Duo behind him.

Ye Mo took the fine powder into the kitchen and replied when he came out, “She’s waiting at the village entrance, guarding the items we just bought. I can’t carry all of them in one go.”

Ye Yang and Ye Ling did not ask where the money came from. They all went out the door and rushed to the village entrance. To them, Liu Duo was more important.

So three handsome men went to carry groceries together.

Liu Duo was playing with bristle-grass out of boredom when she saw the three men approaching her.

She was not expecting Ye Yang to have come back from the hunt already, so she was stunned for a moment. And then, when they were just a few meters away, she ran over to him.

She sweetly greeted him as she stood before him, “Yang, you’re back!”

He nodded, appreciating her smile, and responded, “Yes.”

Liu Duo’s mouth twitched at that moment, as she thought, Don’t you know you could give me a hug? You haven’t seen your wife in days, why aren’t you excited? Damn! Do I even exist in your mind?

Then she reconsidered. Never mind, I’m not gonna argue with your stubborn head and your stoic face! You don’t want to hug me? Fine, I’ll do it!

She opened her arms and hugged him at the waist, “Yang, you’re finally back. I’ve missed you.”

Ye Mo’s face dimmed at the sight of Liu Duo actually hugging Ye Yang, as he thought, How improper. Shameless!

Ye Ling got red in the face, but he was happy that Liu Duo cared for Ye Yang.

With Liu Duo hugging him like that, Ye Yang’s bronze-coloured skin flushed a suspicious, faint red. His heart bloomed. She missed me too!

How could he not miss her? Of course he did, he just chose not to say.

“How shameless!” Ye Mo blurted out his thoughts out of jealousy.

He was quite loud, and so his voice floated into their ears. Ye Yang gently pushed Liu Duo away, expressionless. “Let’s take these.”

With that simple statement, he lifted one bag of fine powder on his shoulder, carried the large bath tub that Liu Duo bought in his other hand, and walked towards the house.
