Chapter 689: Oh, Alright
His voice was already deep and husky, so dragging the last syllable only made it sound so much better.
Shyly, Liu Duo shook her head and changed the topic, “Yang, I have a question for you. You have to answer honestly.”
Ye Yang nodded.
She took a moment to restructure her words before speaking, “Yang, what will you do if I’m unable to bear children? Will you remarry? After all, it’s been so long and I’m not pregnant yet.”
She had not confronted them directly pertaining to this issue, since she did not plan on having children at the moment.
Other than Ye Mo who would remind her about it from time to time, the other three brothers never mentioned it to her. She really wanted to know what they thought about it.
“Never!” Ye Yang answered without giving much thought. “You’re enough for me.”
Although there had been no news since they started consummating their marriage, Ye Yang never once thought about her fertility. He might not understand why she brought this up so suddenly, but even if she really could not bear children, he did not care.
After all, in the past he had never thought about getting a wife or more. When Liu Duo arrived, even though he had considered having kids with her, he would have no regrets even if she could not deliver.
He only spoke only a few short words, but Liu Duo felt moved by them.
She did not pursue how much truth there was in his words. She believed whatever he said!
She believed Ye Yang would not lie to her.
Liu Duo took his calloused hand in hers and smiled, “Yang, I’ll definitely give birth to a healthy baby for you, but not just yet!”
Ye Yang nodded at blissfulness clearly written on her face.
Similarly, he believed whatever she said.
On the other end, Ye Ling returned home and asked the villagers to weigh their own tomatoes. “Put your tomatoes on this scale and report the weight to me. I’ll record them accordingly.”
Then, he hurried along to get Liu Duo’s account book, a brush, and some ink.
Ye Liu descended the stairs to find Ye Ling handing a silver note to one of the villagers.
“Ling, you’re back. Where’s Little Duo?” He asked, looking around. If Ye Ling came back, didn’t that mean Liu Duo also returned with him?
He had not finished widening her bed. She would put a stop to it if she found out!
Ye Ling was surprised to see his brother at home, “Liu? Duo Er went looking for Yang at the vegetable farm. She hasn’t returned.”
Why was Liu at home? Shouldn’t he be purchasing tomatoes from other villages with Mo and Li Wazi?
Ye Liu heaved a sigh of relief when he got that answer.
He knew Ye Ling would find this quite odd, so he said in between giggled, “I’m going to the outhouse first, then I’ll you why I’m at home.”
And then he strode over to the outhouse in their backyard.
He would have to make use of every minute now, because Liu Duo could suddenly come back from the farm at any time! This meant their leisure time at the Lotus Village had been cut short!
Ye Ling looked on as his brother walked away hastily. There was a point when he felt Liu seemed to be in a rush. He left way too quickly.
Ye Liu got out from the outhouse, washed his hands by the well and came over to Ye Ling. “Ling, when you’re done working out the accounts and payment, come give me a hand on the fourth floor.”
“Oh, alright.”
He did not know what kind of help was needed, but he graciously nodded in agreement without another word.
Ye Liu resumed his work upstairs after receiving the reply.
A while later, after the remaining villagers had left with their payment, Ye Ling made his way upstairs.
By the time he got to the third floor, he heard hammering and banging sounds.
