One tael of silver wasn't much?

Ye Mo thought, In the past, we had to endure so long, so long, just to save one tael of silver, and you hand out that amount just like that?

He still didn't say anything. After all, she was willing to give, and all of them got along really well with Li Wazi.

Ye Yang and Ye Ling also said nothing. Liu Duo was happy to fork out however much she pleased. Ye Liu went to wrap his arm around her shoulder again and said in the same mischievous tone, "Like I told you, she's our fortune master. When she rains down fortune, it's natural to start with one tael of silver!"

She found him handsome, and he was so close to her, so very attractive, that she blushed at the thought. She reached out, caught him by the ear, and eyed him discreetly, "Since you call me your fortune master, you better get busy! Lazy bums don't get to eat!"

With that, she pushed him away before turning and heading to her room.

"Yes, yes, yes, my wife the fortune master," Ye Liu giggled and replied behind her back. Then he walked towards Ye Mo, who had with him a basket and a knife, preparing to gather some firewood.

"Mo, I'll go get the firewood. You go teach Little Duo how to read. She bought some books on literacy," he said as he took over the basket and the knife, "Aye, too bad I can't read. Imagine if I could teach her to read and write, her hand in mine. What a wonderful opportunity to show off my talents! Alas, I don't have it."

A smirk crossed Ye Mo's face as he heard this. Wouldn't this be perfect - a chance to get closer to her? He had to do his best, so that she would change her perception of him. Otherwise, when could they consummate their marriage? He also wanted four kids, so shouldn't he get started some time soon? Yang had also said she had to be willing and not be forced.

"Alright, then you go chop some wood."

Ye Liu spotted a hint of impatience in Ye Mo and thought, Has he thought things through? I must say, that smile on his face certainly resembles mine!

Ye Liu held onto the equipment and walked out the door. Ye Yang was in the yard weaving something, while Ye Ling was working on the insoles.

Liu Duo casually laid down on the bed when she got back to the room, deep in thought. She thought about her business with the bamboo shoots. She could ask Ye Liu to bring Li Wazi along, and the three of them could earn some money to change their lifestyles.

Li Wazi was an honest man, and he was on good terms with them. She would try to help him in whatever way she could. He recently had a son too, so it would be tough raising a family of four.

"Liu Duo, what are you doing?" Ye Mo entered the room and saw her on the bed, not behaving like a lady at all.

She heard a voice and looked up, glanced at him, and laid down once more. "None of your business!"

Liu Duo's temper rose for no reason when it came to him.

Ye Mo pretended not to notice her odd little temper. He walked over and sat by the bed and looked down at her, "Liu said you want to learn how to read and asked me to teach you."

Liu Duo heard that and thought, Wow, Liuzi would actually let Little Mo teach me?

Liu Duo felt thoroughly speechless. She turned over, ignoring him.

"Come on, get up. If you want to learn to read, stop wasting time." Ye Mo cooly said in all manner of seriousness. He looked like a teacher supervising his student.

It was rare for Ye Mo to not get angry when Liu Duo ignored him. Instead, he reached out and pulled her hand, wanting her to get up.

Liu Duo immediately turned over and rolled aside, staying farther away from him. "I don't need you to teach me. Don't disturb my rest. I'm thinking."
