Liu Duo was shocked by Ye Liu’s voice. She couldn’t tell that Liu was so fierce. Was Ling’s illness a heart disease?
“Liu, Ling was rushing to deliver the cushion to me. Scold me instead, don’t blame Ling.” Liu Duo pulled at Ye Liu.
“Liu, don’t blame Duo Er. It was me who wanted to deliver it. I will be careful in the future and won’t do it again.” Ye Ling said frantically.
He shook his head. It’s not like he really wanted to blame either of them. “Okay okay. Be careful next time.”
“Are you coming or not? You’re wasting our time!” The girl they had encountered by the lake that time couldn’t stand to look at Liu Duo.
Ye Ling also knew that it wasn’t good to delay. He said sorry, and Wang Tuozi drove the ox cart and started to move.
Liu Duo stared at Ye Ling, who was still standing there, and waved her hands. She put both her hands together by her mouth and said, “Ling, go back. We will come back very soon.”
“Sit tight and don’t fall.” Ye Liu pulled Liu Duo’s shoulder.
The other women on the ox cart gossiped to pass the time. It took a while to get to town.
The ox cart’s speed wasn’t fast or slow. After traveling for a while, Liu Duo and the others saw Ye Mo, who was walking in front.
“Mo, why are you walking so slowly? Look, we’ve already caught up to you.” Ye Liu shouted at Ye Mo.
When Ye Mo heard the sound, he turned his head around, looked for a while, then turned back ahead and continued to walk. What nonsense was he talking about? He only had two legs, how could he walk faster than something that had four legs?
“…” Liu Duo was speechless. Ye Liu was acting strange again and talking nonsense!

They arrived at the town and got off the cart. The women all went their own way. When Liu Duo got off the cart, she told Wang Tuozi that she would leave her cushion on his ox cart and that he could sit on it if he wanted to. She would get on his ox cart after she returned.
Before Ye Liu and Liu Duo went too far, they heard Ye Mo’s voice. “Liu, wait up.”
The two of them turned around and looked at Ye Mo, who ran closer to them. “Mo, go run your own errands in town. What did you call us for?”
“I’m not doing anything. I’m just here to walk around with you guys.”
She knew what Ye Mo was planning to do. Liu Duo pulled Ye Liu while she turned around and then walked away. “Liu, let’s go and not delay any further.”
“Okay.”
Ye Liu on the left and Ye Mo on the right. They looked like they were bodyguards. This was the second time she had come to town, and she didn’t possess the wondrous zeal she’d had last time.
The lively town was filled with continuous shouting of all kinds.
They arrived at the tailor shop that Liu Duo noticed the previous time she. Liu Duo walked in.
Ye Mo thought that Liu Duo wanted to buy clothes. He frowned so heavily that it could kill a mosquito.
He coughed, like a westerner, and pulled Ye Liu, who was next to him. He slowed down his pace and said softly, “Liu, how much money did you bring?”
He knew what Ye Mo meant. Ye Liu smiled, “Enough money to take the ox cart.”
That wasn’t a lot. Ye Mo nodded and felt at ease.
The female shop assistant immediately smiled when she saw that there were customers. “What does this customer need?”
Liu Duo shook her head. She wanted to look through this tailor shop carefully. She had only glanced at the exterior the last time.
The size of the tailor shop was not small. There were two floors. The bottom floor sold clothing materials and finished clothing for common people. The top floor probably sold things that only those with money could afford.
She lifted her legs and prepared to go upstairs. The shop assistant immediately stopped her. “The things in the top floor are more expensive.”
Liu Duo looked at the female shop assistant who blocked the stairs and frowned. “So what? I can’t go up?”
The female assistant sized up Liu Duo. Her expression showed that she looked down on her. “Yes. Only valued customers who can afford them are allowed up.”
There really was no lack of elitists everywhere!
“Just browse here. You aren’t going to buy anything there even if you go upstairs!” Ye Mo couldn’t help but say.
He didn’t even have money to give her to buy anything downstairs, and she still wanted to go upstairs to browse?
