Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Chapter 690: Embarrassing But Hopeful At The Same Time

“What’s Liu up to?” Ye Ling mumbled to himself as he proceeded to the fourth floor.

He used to believe that Mo was only joking when he said he suggested to widen Liu Duo’s bed. He did not expect that his two elder brothers would actually work on it!

He reached the fourth floor and through the open door he could see Ye Liu working diligently. He said, “Liu, are you widening Duo Er’s bed? If she finds out, she’ll…”

He was halfway through his sentence when Ye Liu, having heard him, perked up and called him over. “Ling, come on. We have to work faster, before Little Duo comes home and sees this. She’ll put a stop to it for sure.”

“Alright.” Ye Ling might have been worried that Liu Duo would get mad if she found it, but he listened to Ye Liu regardless and helped him with his project.

Ye Liu knew what his youngest brother was about to say just now, so he explained, “Ling, even if Little Duo came back and found out that we had widened the bed, she would not get angry. At most, she would grumble and nag for a while. After all, she couldn’t possibly stay mad at her handsome husband, am I right?”

Er…

Ye Ling was surely no match for Liu’s narcissism, even though he agreed that Ye Liu was indeed handsome. In fact, he was the best-looking one among his three elder brothers.

The two brothers were in a race with time. They chatted as they worked, and very soon the widened bed began to take shape.

“Wonderful! With the bed’s width right now, it can easily accommodate four people. No problem at all!” Ye Liu examined their masterpiece, satisfied.

Ye Mo had said to widen the bed so that three could sleep on it, yet Ye Liu had added more space to it. He thought it would be better for the bed to accommodate three people with some space to spare rather than to have three people fit perfectly!

Redness began to appear on Ye Ling’s fair cheeks. So Liu had stayed at home to widen Duo Er’s bed. Does he really want to share the bed with more people?

As he thought about it, he had no idea how to carry on the conversation. He found it quite embarrassing, and yet hopeful at the same time.

It was a moment later when Ye Ling really opened his mouth to speak. “Liu, let’s clean up the wood shavings. We have to add on some quilts for Duo Er too. She doesn’t like the bed to be too hard.”

It was also almost lunchtime. They had to clean it up quickly to avoid crossing paths with Liu Duo.

“Alright, I’ll clean up. You make the bed.” Ye Liu gave him a smile.

The task he assigned to Ye Ling did not require going up and down the stairs. After all, Ling could not walk well.

Ye Ling did not object. Very swiftly, he got the quilts and sheets and began tidying up the bed.

Back on the vegetable farm, Ye Yang had been digging for some time when he looked up in Liu Duo’s direction.

He felt that, with Liu Duo accompanying him, work was not as boring.

Liu Duo had been observing him the whole time. With her head up high, she proudly exclaimed, “Yang, you aren’t concentrating. You’ve been peeping at me. How will you finish turning over the soil when you keep doing that?”

Ye Yang stopped working when he heard her say that. He did not reply to her, and instead, he called out to Lao Liu, who was digging close by. “Lao Liu, time to go.”

Lao Liu nodded. “Sure, let’s go then.”

Lao Liu put a lot of effort into his work. He would not stop if he was not asked to rest.

Liu Duo also got up from the ground. She picked up Ye Yang’s shirt, which she had been sitting on, and shook away the dirt.

They should head home for lunch.

Lao Liu took the lead, carrying his farming equipment. He knew better than to get in between the couple and their private chat.
