Chapter 539: My Ears Would Fall Off

Liu Duo threw him another stink eye.

So I should listen to you? Overbearing freak.

She always felt that if they had a child, this man would just keep pampering the kid as though the kid was the ruler of the underworld.

She couldn’t bother debating him, so she returned to the kitchen to get some porridge for Little Huzi.

Li Wazi carried Little Huzi as he continued cooing and teasing him. He was a patient father, and slowly Little Huzi responded, his cries lowering to a whisper.

“Here, feed him some porridge then.” Liu Duo exited the kitchen holding a small bowl of porridge.

Li Wazi thanked her and then, patiently again, began feeding Li Huzi bit by bit.

Liu Duo turned to Ye Yang. “Yang, it’s almost lunchtime too. You go wash up by the well and continue tomorrow. There’s no rush.”

Ye Yang nodded and stopped work for the day. The few of them went to wash their hands by the well.

They were terribly hungry. They had to eat something. Even a small child understood such a natural law.

Liu Duo couldn’t help but laugh as she watched Little Huzi cry and eat his porridge at the same time.

Kids are so cute!

Some time later, Ye Ling got dinner ready and served the food on the table.

“Sister Lian, your husband’s great! Look at him feeding Little Huzi. That seems to be an experienced posture. And he’s patient too.” Liu Duo complimented Li Wazi in front of Little Lian.

When she heard that, her face flushed as she looked at Li Wazi, and she shyly nodded. Li Wazi wasn’t one of those men who would forget about their wives once they had a son. He cared for his son well, and cared for her even better!

Upon receiving compliments from Liu Duo, Li Wazi grinned broader than usual and even his ears seemed to have reddened.

Ye Mo got competitive and muttered at Liu Duo, “If you bear a child for us, I’ll definitely perform better than Li Wazi! I’ll take proper care of our kid.”

Geez…

Liu Duo could only roll her eyes at him. He kept talking about babies!

If she heard any more of that her ears would fall off.

Aunt Li came out of the kitchen with the last dish. “Alright, everything’s ready. Let’s eat.”

The group sat around the table and dug in. Little Huzi had some porridge so he wasn’t very hungry now. He wasn’t making much noise as he entertained himself in his cradle.

“Uncle Lao Liu, do help yourself and eat more. You have to fill up or you won’t have energy to work.” Liu Duo thought Lao Liu seemed pretty uptight, so she joked.

He would only take from the dish right in front of him and didn’t dare to touch the others. He was quite reserved.

Ye Yang knew he was a serious worker, so he fetched some meat for him and said, “Eat more.”

He had been preparing to do that even when Liu Duo hadn’t told him to.

Lao Liu grabbed hold of his bowl and accepted the meat given by Ye Yang. He stuttered, “Thanks, I’ll help myself.”

Having been given a permanent job at their place, other than working hard, Lao Liu couldn’t think of what else he could do to repay their kindness, so he would do his best every single day!

“If that’s the case then have some more. We’ll have to empty everything on the table, otherwise, it’ll get spoilt overnight,” Ye Liu chuckled.

Lao Liu was an honest, hardworking man, so of course Ye Liu ‘liked’ him.

After dinner, Aunt Li’s family, as well as Lao Liu, stayed for a little while before parting ways, returning to their respective homes as the day came to an end.

Standing in the yard, taking the time to digest, Liu Duo suddenly said to Ye Ling, “Ling, how would you like me to teach you how to read and write someday? And bookkeep too?”
