Li Chunmei promptly lowered her back and helped to carry the firewood. "Mo, let me help you."

Ye Mo became very annoyed when Li Chunmei did this. He really wanted to give her two punches. He snatched the firewood from her hands and said angrily, "I don't need your help. You should go back quickly. Otherwise, your leg won't heal completely!"

He put on the basket backpack, turned around, and started to walk. He decided to move to another location to chop firewood.

Initially, Li Chunmei's eyes were filled with tears when Ye Mo roared at her. However, after she heard the last sentence, she smiled again. She felt that, although Ye Mo was fierce, he still cared about her.

If Liu Duo had known what she thought, she would definitely say, This brat is completely delusional!

Li Chunmei looked at Ye Mo's tall and straight back and ran after him again.

She missed him, since she hadn't seen him for so many days. The day he had brought her back was her happiest day. She had already made the decision to marry him, since she had liked him for so many years. She wouldn't care if others agreed or not, she would only marry him!

Ye Mo felt Li Chunmei catching up to him again, so he went straight to the main road. He had half a basket of firewood. If that wasn't enough, he would come back later to get more.

He ran into Ye Ling when he arrived at a crossroad. Ye Ling had just finished delivering food to Aunt Ye and was on the way home.

"Ling, wait up. Let's go chop some firewood. You can help carry some back later as well." Ye Mo immediately said.

With Ye Ling here, he wouldn't have to go back to get firewood later. Having one more person there was definitely much better than only having him and Li Chunmei there.

Ye Ling stopped walking when he heard him and waited for Ye Mo to get closer. He was very curious, since Ye Mo never allowed him to carry heavy things. Why would he ask him to help carry the firewood?

However, since Ye Ling was a very obedient boy, he just nodded his head. He was willing to help share the burden of his brother's work.

After Ye Mo got closer, he led Ye Ling to another small road. Li Chunmei, who saw from afar, persevered and followed them.

Ye Mo started to chop the firewood when they arrived at their destination. Ye Ling helped to pick up the firewood and placed it into the basket backpack.

Ye Ling saw Li Chunmei, who was empty-handed, walking towards them. He said, feeling puzzled, "Mo, Chunmei is here. Is she here to chop firewood as well? She didn't bring a basket backpack or chopping knife though."

"Ignore her!" Ye Mo, who was busy chopping the firewood, said aggressively.

He had always just considered her a normal female friend from the neighborhood. He never would've thought that she was interested in him. Now that he knew, his heart kept feeling twitchy and uneasy, and he kept thinking of Liu Duo.

He thought about Liu Duo's furious rage when she had seen him carrying Li Chunmei, and how she looked when they bickered. He thought, How nice would it be if Liu Duo was interested in me?

Ye Mo's ears turned red when he thought of this. He muttered softly, "Bah! What am I thinking? Her, interested in me? It would be considered good enough if that brat were even just kinder towards me!"

"What? Mo, what did you say?" Ye Ling asked. He had heard Ye Mo muttering but hadn't hear him clearly.

"Huh? Nothing. I didn't say anything." Ye Mo wanted to shift the topic. How could he let Ye Ling hear it? That would be so embarrassing.

After Li Chunmei got closer, she smiled and said, "Oh, Ling, you are also here."

Ye Ling nodded his head. He had come because Ye Mo had asked him to come. "Are you here to chop firewood? Why didn't you bring a basket backpack or a chopping knife?"

He asked because he was curious. Moreover, he saw her limping when she walked. She didn't look like she was there to chop firewood.

Li Chunmei looked over to Ye Mo with infatuated eyes when she heard Ye Ling. "I'm not here to chop firewood. I'm here to thank Mo. He brought me home after I sprained my leg last time."
