Ye Liu did not reply to her. He continued with his work. One more day, and then he would get his pay and go home to see his Little Duo.

This was the first time he had been away from their little, shared wife for so long since they had first met. He was already homesick.

When he knew they had bought a shared wife, he had been worried. Would she be ugly? It was common sense that no family would sell their beautiful daughter as a shared wife!

But after seeing Liu Duo, he was very content. Mainly, during the days when he got to know her, he found that she was open-minded, daring, and very special. She was different from the regular girls he saw. She had a special kind of attraction that drew him to her.

Little Duo, I miss you so much. If you don't miss you, let's see how I punish you when I get back! He mumbled as he thought about her, smiling all the way.

Li Waner stood aside quietly, watching him smile. He looked really handsome when he smiled. She stared at him like a lovestruck girl.

On the other end, Liu Duo, who had been furious with Ye Mo, suddenly sneezed. They had returned home. She spat angrily at Ye Mo, "Darn it, someone must be scolding me behind my back!"

I didn't say anything. What's the use roaring at me? Ye Mo rolled his eyes at her, too lazy to argue. He thought she was rather immature.

He turned towards the kitchen, ready to make a fire. Ye Ling was about to make lunch.

Liu Duo hummed when Ye Mo did not bother her. She headed to the bedroom.

After she arranged the items, she sat on the bed and began to count their money. Then she did some calculations to assess their spending. When she was all finished, she kept the remaining money locked inside a box.

She mumbled softly, "We splurged quite a bit today. We spent about six taels of silver in one morning, not including the clothes! But that's alright, a few more days and we'll receive income again."

She packed some treats and set them aside. She planned to take them to Uncle Ye's house after lunch.

She exited the room to find Ye Yang sharpening a knife. She walked to him and crouched down, "Yang, what are you going to chop with that knife?"

"Bamboo," He replied.

He had run out of bamboo pieces to weave his basket, so he would have to get more. Bamboo had many other functions too. They also needed to weave a bamboo mat for the summer.

"Oh. How about I go with you later? There are some places I haven't visited anyway."

"Okay."

Ye Yang continued for a bit longer before testing the knife's sharpness. Not satisfied with the result, he washed it with water and proceeded to sharpen some more.

Liu Duo observed him as she crouched nearby. She giggled and asked, "Say, Yang, why are you and your brothers so good-looking?"

Liu Duo felt that every time she looked at them closely, she felt so honoured to have all four brothers as her husbands!

She also guessed that their parents had to be really gorgeous too. Otherwise, how could they have given birth to four handsome men?

Hearing that, Ye Yang did not look up as he focused on his work, "Our parents have good genes."

Pffft, Liu Duo smiled and thought, Wow, is Yang pleased with himself?

She thought that someone as stoic as Ye Yang could have replied "I don't know," which would be a total of three words. Instead, he gave an unexpected answer.

Seeing her laughing non-stop, Ye Yang curiously wondered what was so funny? He hadn't said anything wrong. Appearance was originally gifted by the parents!

Liu Duo squatted for quite a while. Her legs went numb when she stood up, "Oh dear, my legs are numb now. I blame you, Yang."

Blame me? Ye Yang wondered. For what?

Liu Duo giggled at the confusion on his face. She got closer and - still giggling - whispered into his ear, "I was so charmed by you that I forgot to grab a stool."
