Chapter 959: Ling Would Be The Fifth Brother From Now On
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Li Wazi and Ye Mo might have been the best of friends, but they thought of one another as brothers as well.
“I agree with Liu. Aunt Li, be our mother then!” Ye Mo approved too. “Li Wazi will be our fourth brother from now on, and Ling will be our fifth.”
Then he looked at Ye Ling, his eyes motioning for his opinion.
Since the elder brothers had no comments, Ye Ling could not oppose it.
Anyway, he had the same thoughts as well.
“Then, before we leave, why don’t we have an acknowledgment ritual?” Ye Ling smiled and replied. “The next time we travel, the more the merrier.”
Ye Liu smiled when his brothers had all approved. “Mom, Wazi, what do you say?”
A smile appeared on Aunt Li’s wrinkled face as tears filled her eyes.
“Alright, alright. That means I have four more sons now. How lucky I am!”
They had already started calling her mom, so how could she ignore that?
Then she spoke to Li Wazi. “Gen Er, call your brothers then. Go on.”
Li Wazi, an honest man through and through, was slow to react. “Ah? Oh, right. Brother Yang, Brother Liu, Brother Mo, Brother Ling. Nice to meet you.”
They were already quite close to begin with, but now that the actual term had changed, he felt even closer to them!
Everyone in the kitchen burst out laughing when they heard Li Wazi say ‘Nice to meet you.’
Ye Yang was stoic as usual, but they could see the smile hidden in his eyes.
Later, when the two other women heard about this, they were also more than happy to change the terms.
On the way to town, Li Wazi suddenly spoke. “Mo, does that mean the marriage arrangement between our kids before goes out the window now?”
Ye Mo directly rolled his eyes at him, wondering why he was such a stubborn idiot.
“If my kid likes your kid, they can go on and wed anyway. You may not have gone to school, but you must have heard of ‘cementing old ties,’ haven’t you?”
They had taken Aunt Li as their mother and Li Wazi as their brother, but by the end of the day they were not really related by blood, so it was not a problem for their kids to marry.
Ye Liu looked at Li Wazi as the latter eventually caught on. His level of joy increased as he thought, Wazi’s so dumb but that’s what makes him precious!
In town, they delivered their goods and informed the restaurant owner that their business would be on a hiatus as they would be going to the capital soon.
When the stocks they had currently at home were all made into tomato sauce, Li Wazi would make the final delivery, and everything would be halted until the following year.
After that, they went to fetch Liu Ran from school.
“Brother Liu, Why have you come to pick me up today?” Liu Ran walked out from the school gate carrying the bag Ye Ling made for him. A look of curiosity hung on his face.
Liu Ran had gotten fairer and put a little more meat on his bones. He was dressed quite decently too, like a young boy from a well-to-do family.
Ye Liu smiled at him. “Because the four of us and your sister will be going out for a while, so we’re picking you up in advance to tell you that.”
Liu Ran slightly raised his brows but asked no further questions.
He acknowledged it, then patiently waited as Ye Liu gradually explained everything to him.
Ye Mo liked how mature Liu Ran had become. He liked him even more now!
The two of them might have bickered in the past and used to rub each other the wrong way, but they were family after all, so they had no hard feelings.
