After they finished listening to Ling's story, Ye Mo faced Ye Liu, as though saying, what do you think, Liu? When she wakes up later, will she force us to change it back immediately?

Ye Liu did not stop peeling garlic. He tossed a look back that said, no trouble.

He had asked for Ling's help in the hopes that they could finish the task before Liu Duo got home. Who knew that would work in their favor?

With Ling's participation, Liu Duo would considerably look the other way.

Ye Mo made sense of the look his brother gave him, and got back to peeling garlic with peace of mind...

Half an hour later, they estimated that Liu Duo would wake up from her nap any time soon. Ye Liu said, "Mo, Li Wazi, pack our things. We're going out to get tomatoes."

Since it had come to this, they chose to avoid contact with Liu Duo as much as possible. If they dragged it until nightfall, the dust would have settled by then!

And so, Ye Mo rushed to get their sack of supplies including the account book.

He had long wanted to go out, and thankfully Ye Liu shared the same thoughts.

"Hurry up, Li Wazi! There's nothing to fret about! Ling can look after Little Huzi, are you still restless?" Ye Mo urged him on.

They were ready to move, and yet Li Wazi had not parted with his son.

He gave Li Huzi one last look before sprinting towards the bullock-cart.

"Mo, so I heard you let Liu stay at home this morning to widen Liu Duo's bed, and that you did that not just behind her back but behind Yang's as well? No wonder Yang wants to punish you two," Li Wazi mumbled to him in a low voice.

He knew about Ye Yang's temperament. The eldest brother would never allow his siblings to commit any wrongdoings such as act first and ask for permission later, or other means like trickery.

Technically, Liu Duo didn't like the end result and complained to Yang, so Yang decided to punish them! And that was how Li Wazi had managed to decipher their mysterious dialogue just now.

As expected, Li Wazi flaunted his newly gained knowledge in front of them!

Hehe...

Ye Mo had the feeling that his 'brother from another mother' was taking great pleasure in his own misfortune?

He fired back, very unkindly, "Li Wazi, are you so happy to hear that Liu and I are being punished? Stop that, or else I'll punch you in the face!"

He was not a supportive friend at all!

"Oh, will you? No wonder Liu Duo never liked you. You're so rough. If it were me, I wouldn't like you either. I'd prefer Ling and your other brothers," Li Wazi replied without an ounce of fear.

His face appeared to be filled with utter contempt towards Ye Mo, which was very unlike him.

This supposed friend of his had ticked off Ye Mo so much he felt like his anger was about to hit the roof! Oh, how he wanted to punch him!

Pffft. Ye Liu overheard their dialogue and snickered as he directed the bullock-cart.

Li Wazi was as frank as a man could be, but he had the ability to drive people mad too! In this case, Mo.

On the other side of town, Liu Duo woke up just minutes after the men left the house.

"Ling, have the other men gone out?" Liu Duo came downstairs and looked for Ye Ling.

The first thing she wanted to do after waking up from her nap was to demand that Ye Liu to revert her bed back to the way it was!

But she did not expect they would have all gone out. Usually, they would not continue with their work so fast.

Ye Ling heard her calling and looked back at her. He nodded, "Yes, Yang went to the farm while Liu and the others went to the next village to get tomatoes."

Liu Duo nodded and did not pursue it further. She bet they were procrastinating and avoiding her.

Hmmph...
