Chapter 315 - Why Is He Here Again

Chapter 315: Why Is He Here Again

Liu Liushi still hadn’t gone to find Liu Duo after two days, so Ye Liu asked Aunt Ye and Aunt Li to find two diligent and strong women to help Ye Ling and the others to process the bamboo shoots.

They had even found two villagers to help Ye Yang take care of the farm crops. Lunch was included for both of them, and the pay they gave was also quite reasonable.

It was as if Ye Xuan had prepared in advance. When he went to their house to find Liu Duo, neither Ye Yang, Ye Liu, nor Ye Mo were home.

Hei Xiaomeng saw someone and started to bark. “Woof, woof, woof.”

Hei Xiaomeng had recently gotten even fatter and had also grown a bit. However, there was no trace of any sort of fierceness in it, because it was so fat.

“Sister-in-law, I see you guys bought a puppy. It is chubby and quite cute.” Ye Xuan didn’t feel afraid at all.

Liu Duo saw it was him, gave him a glance, and didn’t say anything. She felt he looked a bit fake.

Ye Xuan didn’t see himself as an outsider. He pulled a stool over and sat near Liu Duo.

Liu Duo frowned when she saw this. “Stay away from me. We don’t welcome you here, so you can go!”

Seeing that she didn’t welcome him, he smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, why are you speaking with such a fiery tone, like Mo, after I haven’t seen you for a few days?”

Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him, as if to say, None of your business!

“Sister-in-law, I’m here because there is something that is bothering me, and I want to talk to you to get it out.” Ye Xuan pretended to be depressed and looked like he was full of worry.

Liu Duo completely ignored him when she heard him. Was she very close to him, or did they have a very good relationship with one another?

Ye Xuan didn’t care whether or not Liu Duo wanted to listen to him and started talking of his own accord, “Sister-in-law, grandma keeps bringing me to the matchmaker and keeps talking about finding a wife. Sigh, but I don’t like any of them…”

Liu Duo listened to his blabbering and didn’t show any special expression. It wasn’t like they were related, so why was he telling her this? She interrupted him, “This is your own problem, so stop blabbering about all this nonsense. So noisy!”

Don’t like any of them? Did he really think he was outstanding or very awesome? What was he being proud for?

If he were the first, second, or even third top-score in the exams, then okay, he would have the ability to be choosy. But right now, he was only a person who hadn’t even passed the exams. He wasn’t even a scholar. Why the hell was he being prideful?

Scholars were true intellectuals. They didn’t need to pay taxes and didn’t need to pay their respects to government officials.

Ye Xuan looked at the impatient Liu Duo and smiled. He had really stopped talking about it.

He kept looking at her and felt like she had changed a lot, but he just couldn’t put his finger on exactly what it was.

Usually, it was Aunt Li and Ye Ling who would get rid of the acidic and bitter taste from the bamboo shoots in the kitchen.

Ye Ling walked out of the kitchen and saw Ye Xuan looking at Liu Duo with a smile on his face. He immediately frowned.

He thought, Why is he here again?

Little Lian and the others were all working hard with their heads lowered, and they weren’t paying to Ye Xuan.

He walked up and said, unhappily, “Ye Xuan, why have you come here again?”

“Ling.” In contrast to Ye Ling’s unhappiness, Ye Xuan was smiling brightly. “We are brothers, so it is only natural we will come and go. Didn’t I mention this before? I didn’t do it in the past, because I overlooked it. Of course, now I have to rectify it and change my ways.”

“You don’t need to change. It was fine the way it was before.”

Ye Ling said it with a blank expression on his face, and it made Liu Duo laugh.

That was a very good reply!

Ye Ling saw Liu Duo laughing, and he felt puzzled. Was what he said funny?

Although Ye Xuan was slightly stunned to hear Ye Ling say things he had never thought he would say, he did not feel embarrassed, since he had extremely thick skin.

Ye Xuan saw Liu Duo laughing hysterically and also started to laugh. “Ling, you are too funny.”

Ye Ling frowned. Was he joking? He was completely serious in what he said!
