Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Chapter 508: We’re Leaving

“Quanfu, did something happen to Duo Er? Tell us.”

She had a gut-wrenching feeling.

Liu Quanfu told her everything that had just happened. He wanted to see them now. Liu Ran was still young. Liu Quanfu was worried his son would be traumatized by the kidnapping.

Liu Liushi got anxious and said, “Let’s go over there now. Quanfu, we’re leaving.”

Compared to Liu Liushi, who was overwhelmed with worry, Liu Quanfu was relatively cool-headed. “You go first, I have to talk to the boss.”

She nodded, washed her hands, and left in a panic.

The shop owner could tell exactly what had just happened. The moment Liu Liushi left the premises, he showed up at the scene.

“Sir, I…”

Before he could speak, the boss raised a hand and stopped him. “I could see and hear everything that happened from the second floor. You and your wife should head back to check on things.”

He was a parent too. If anything were to happen to his kid, he would be worried sick. So, he allowed the couple to pay a visit without needing to be informed.

“Thank you, boss. Thank you very much. We’ll get back to work as soon as we can!” Liu Quanfu gave him an earnest bow, very grateful for his understanding.

The boss waved his hand, telling Liu Quanfu not to worry.

Liu Quanfu caught up with his wife and the two raced to Liu Duo’s house.

Sitting in the shade, Liu Duo waved at Ye Ling. “Ling, Ran Er, come up and take a rest. Don’t overwork yourself.”

She was keeping tabs on Ye Ling and would get him to rest after some time.

The same went for Liu Ran, who was much younger.

Ye Ling wiped away the sweat on his forehead as he turned to face the land. “It’s nothing, I can take it.”

After he said that, his other brothers spoke up too, urging him to take a rest. They stood with Liu Duo, after all.

But Ye Ling took his time with a bit more work and only came up a moment later. He came to rest beside Liu Duo.

Liu Duo gave him water to drink, to which Ye Ling said, “I can pour it myself. You should take care not to drop Little Huzi by accident or fall down yourself.”

They were on a small slope. It’s not quite safe or convenient for her to be carrying a baby here.

“Alright,” she smiled. “So, Ling, how much longer does it take?”

They had harvested one-fifth of the field, but she somehow felt they were slower than the time they planted the seeds. Or was she mistaken?

He swallowed a mouthful of water and slowly replied, “At this rate, probably tomorrow or the day after.”

It was very hot then, so naturally they would take a longer time harvesting the rice. When they were planting the seeds, it had been cooler and they were quicker.

It was almost afternoon by the time Liu Quanfu and his wife got to Liu Duo’s house. Liu Duo and the men were just getting home.

Li Wazi and his family were there. Liu Duo allowed them to eat at her place so that they didn’t have to go back to cook.

The couple knocked on the door but no one answered. Instead, Hei Xiaomeng got unusually loud as he barked at the door.

“Does this mean they’re not at home?” Liu Quanfu frowned.

Liu Liushi nodded. “Let’s wait and see.”

She didn’t want to leave. She desperately needed to see them.

On Liu Duo’s birthday, she watched her daughter from afar, because she didn’t want Liu Duo to get upset at the sight of her.

But she was quite content that Liu Duo had accepted the gift that she requested a child to deliver for her.

The two stood there silently, waiting.
