Time passed quickly and it was now later in the afternoon. Ye Liu and the others returned with a full load of bright red tomatoes on the bullock-cart. Although some were big and some were small, it was still quite a sight to see.

"Brother Liu, Uncle Li, Brother Mo, you guys are back." Liu Ran saw them and went over to greet them with a bright smile on his face.

Five days had passed and it was time for the students to go back home again. That's why Liu Duo had gone and brought him back.

When Li Wazi and Ye Liu heard him, bright smiles also appeared on their faces. "Yo, our little scholar Ran Er is back. We haven't seen each other for a few days, did you miss us?"

Although Ye Mo didn't show a smile on his face, he was actually quite happy Liu Ran was back.

"Of course I missed you guys. However, I only miss you guys when I am eating or sleeping. I don't have time to miss you guys while I'm learning in class," Liu Ran said earnestly and seriously.

He felt that, although he missed his family, he should still study earnestly when it was time to study. Otherwise, he would be betraying the reason his family spent money on him to go to school!

When the people in the yard heard him, they all laughed.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Ye Lanlan suddenly came through the yard door with her big tummy.

"Ye Liu, Ye Mo, Ling, sister-in-law, I'm here to visit you guys," Ye Lanlan called towards them.

They were all rather surprised at her sudden arrival. Every one of them muttered in their hearts, Why is she here?

As Hei Xiaomeng had never seen her before, it barked fiercely at her. It scared her so much she just stood at the yard door and didn't dare to take even half a step forward.

Liu Ran didn't know who she was but he still cordially went over to call Hei Xiaomeng. "Xiaomeng, come here and stop barking."

Ye Liu looked at her and smiled. However, his smile didn't reach his eyes. "Oh my, what a rare guest. After just a few months of not seeing you, you are about to become a mother."

Ye Mo, however, just let out a cold humph. He never hid his attitude towards people he disliked.

Ye Lanlan saw Liu Ran lead Hei Xiaomeng away and walked in slowly while carrying her tummy. "Yeah, time really does fly. It feels like I wasn't yet married not too long ago, but now, I'm about to become a mother."

She had a big smile on her face when she spoke. She looked at Liu Duo. "Sister-in-law, why isn't there any change in your tummy yet? You don't even need to give them a fat little son, giving them a silly little girl is fine as well."

She had actually been pregnant for only about four months. But for some reason, her tummy was so big that it was as if she had been pregnant for five or six months.

What she said immediately attracted the ire of everyone in the yard!

By saying this, did she make it clear that she was laughing at Liu Duo for not being able to have children?

Just as the sound of her voice disappeared, Ye Mo's furious voice immediately followed. "Ye Lanlan, stop spewing your nonsense here. Whether there is any change in our beloved's tummy, or whether she wants to have a child, is none of your business! Go back to whichever hole you crawled here from!"

Similarly, the smile on Ye Liu's handsome face also disappeared. His voice also no longer contained that lighthearted playful tone. He said very sternly, "Little Lanlan, with your tummy so big, I think it is better if you don't go strolling around if there is no reason to do so. Otherwise, your husband and grandmother will worry."

Liu Duo didn't really give her any attention when she came in. It was only after Liu Duo heard what she said that she turned her to give Ye Lanlan a chance to enter her sight.

She rolled her eyes in her heart and muttered, Why is this brat being so smug just because she is pregnant? Who the hell are you to press me on whether or not I have kids?!

Li Wazi and Ye Ling, on the other hand, frowned and were extremely dissatisfied with her attitude and how she spoke.
