Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Chapter 559: Have Your Forgotten Your Lesson?

Dongfang Ming glanced at Liu Duo doting on Ye Ling, and smiled more firmly.

“Then Madam Ye can come to eat here whenever you feel like it. We shall always welcome you.”

“Thank you, then.”

Back at their place, without Liu Duo at home, the men felt that the house was missing something.

“Why hasn’t our wife and Ling come back yet?” Ye Mo asked, irritated.

Although they had said they weren’t coming back for lunch, they should have been home right after lunch, right?

The thought of Liu Duo and Dongfang Ming being together, even if Ye Ling was there too, made Ye Mo utterly uncomfortable! His heart was practically burning with rage.

They ate their fill and were resting indoors, not rushing to resume work.

Ye Liu beamed at Ye Mo, who was looking at the bamboo outside that had grown much taller than their walls, and laughed. “The sun’s so high up right now, they probably won’t be back anytime soon. What’s the rush anyway? It’s not like they’re never coming back!”

Ye Yang said nothing as he stared at a random spot, bearing no expression.

Beside Ye Mo, Li Wazi beamed at him too and asked, “Mo, when we’re purchasing tomatoes in other villages, why don’t you miss her this much?”

Er…

Ye Mo glared at this friend and muttered inwardly, who says I don’t? I just don’t say it!

“I… Ling needs to take his medicine! He forgot to take it with him.” Ye Mo found an excuse to shut him up.

Pffft, Ye Liu merely chuckled as he looked at Ye Mo trying to distract Li Wazi.

When Li Wazi’s family came to their house, Liu Duo and Ye Ling had taken their breakfast and left with the coachman. So, they hadn’t seen Ye Ling bringing his medicine with him.

Ye Yang looked him in the eye. What lies! Had he forgotten his lesson?

Ye Mo took note of Ye Yang’s deadpan glare and made an awkward cough, changing his statement ever so slightly. “I mean, I’m worried that Ling may have forgotten his medicine.”

“What’s the cough for? You should drink more water if your throat’s not well. If Ling didn’t bring his medicine, they should be back soon so you needn’t worry,” Li Wazi said in a serious tone.

Ye Liu proceeded to laugh out loud. Ye Mo chose to ignore him as he went to get some water.

Li Wazi was used to Ye Mo’s arrogant behavior and the tendency to skip replies, so he didn’t find his reaction uncalled for or get angry.

Ye Ling waited until the table had been cleaned up before taking his medicine out of the pouch. He gulped it down with some water.

“Ye Ling, what’s this?” Dongfang Ming asked in surprise.

Is that medication?

Ye Ling didn’t look sick, why was he taking medication?

Ye Ling smiled gently and replied in a calm manner. “I’ve had chest pains since I was little, so I take medicine every day, but it’s nothing serious.”

Chest pains?

Now that he thought about it, he finally understood why the three elder brothers were all big and strong, but Ye Ling was a bit shorter, on the smaller side, and looked quite weak.

He’d heard about this sickness. He couldn’t get overly anxious, overly excited, or overly exhausted. If the sickness attacked, and he couldn’t be saved in time, then that was it for him!

“Then, Ling, you’ll have to take your medicine regularly, not overwork yourself, and control your emotions,” Dongfang Ming said with concern.

“Yes, thank you for your concern.”

Liu Duo was once again mesmerized by the smile on Ye Ling’s face. Why was every man in the family so handsome?

And they looked so much better than her! Although she was not so bad herself.

Ye Ling could feel Liu Duo staring directly at him. He blushed, held the cup to his mouth, and took another sip.
