Yet Liu Duo shrank into a tiny ball and continued to sleep, refusing to wake.
Ye Mo furrowed his brow and mumbled, What happened last night? She won’t wake! He covered her with the blanket and exited the room.
He came to find Ye Yang by the table and asked with great suspicion, “Yang, what did you two do last night? Liu Duo is still sleeping like a pig and won’t wake up!”
“Mo, how can you call her that?” Ye Ling furrowed his brow, upset that his brother called Liu Duo a pig! This was one of the rare moments when he defied his brothers, his protective personality significantly lessened.
Ye Yang was not pleased with Mo’s words either, and said coldly, “Mo, watch your tongue!”
All he had said was a casual remark about Liu Duo sleeping like a pig, and his two brothers were ganging up on him? Ye Mo felt so utterly wronged!
But he could only surrender unwillingly, “Alright, fine. My mistake. I shouldn’t have said she’s sleeping like a pig. My bad, my bad. If she wants to sleep, we’ll let her sleep. We can eat our fill and keep hers warm in the pot.”
With that, Ye Yang and Ye Ling seemed satisfied, and discontent cleared from their faces as they began their meal.
Ye Mo’s mouth twitched at this sight. He thought, Damn this woman. What kind of weird medicine has she given them? My own brothers, getting so fierce at me!
Another two hours passed before Liu Duo leisurely awoke. She sat up in bed, yawned, and got down to dress.
She combed her hair and tied it into a ponytail with a bun on top, using the jade hairpin that Ye Yang had bought for her to keep it in place. She looked left and right, pleased with herself, and walked out of the room to wash up.
When she saw them, she noticed that they had started using the hairpins instead of their usual pieces of twine. This filled her with content. Indeed, hairpins looked a lot better than pieces of twine!
The only thing that made her feel crossed was that they were still in their old attire. Hadn’t she just bought new clothes for them? Clothes are meant to be worn, not to be kept!
She went to wash up by the well and asked the men, “Yang, why aren’t you three wearing your new clothes? Are you waiting for them to lay eggs?”
“We will wear them,” Ye Yang, busy with bamboo, said using few words.
Ye Ling saw that Liu Duo was up and immediately put down the insole he was sewing, “Duo Er, I’ll go get your food.”
He was most concerned with Liu Duo having food to eat after waking up, so that she wouldn’t starve herself. He could do without new clothes.
Ye Mo was busy helping Ye Yang with the bamboo work, yet he rebutted, “Whether we wear them or not is your business. Who are you? Our housekeeper?”
Hearing that, Liu Duo furrowed her brow. Count on him to speak so loud and so brashly in the morning. How she wished she could sew his lips together!
She didn’t want to put herself in a bad mood, so she chose to ignore him. After washing up, she went under the roof to have her breakfast.
The peace and harmony that came so rarely lasted for a moment. With the bamboo pieces completed, Ye Mo got up and said, “The paddy needs weeding. Otherwise the weeds will get more lush the longer we wait, and then it’d take a lot longer to manage them.”
“Sure, let’s go together,” Ye Yang also got up and was prepared to go weeding with his brother. There were leeches there, so Liu Duo was unwilling to go, “You guys go ahead. I’ll stay at home. When the time comes, I’ll bring lunch to you.”
Ye Mo said nothing. Last time, Liu Duo had been bitten by a leech, so he didn’t want her to work in the paddy either. Ye Yang and Ye Ling naturally wouldn’t say anything. They nodded and agreed that she should stay home.
Finally, Liu Duo stayed home alone. After breakfast, she worked on her drawings under the roof.
