Chapter 273: Get Away From Here, We Don’t Welcome You

Grandma Ye wanted to go to Ye Yang’s house after lunch, but when she thought about how that day was her granddaughter’s wedding, she knew she couldn’t leave. She was the oldest in the family, after all. If she were to leave, Ye Lanlan’s family wouldn’t respect her. If the oldest person in the family left halfway through, it would prove that she didn’t have her family’s respect, so the wife’s family would look down on her.

Although Grandma Ye didn’t really like Ye Lanlan, she was still her only granddaughter, and she still had a place in her heart. And so, she could only go settle the score with Ye Yang and the others the next day.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, eagerly headed to Liu Duo’s house after lunch.

They had been busy with Ye Lanlan’s wedding the past couple of days, so Grandma Ye hadn’t allowed him to go out. She had made him deal with the bookkeeping – things like recording how much money they were spending and how much money they were gifted in return.

When he arrived at the yard door, in front of Liu Duo’s house, he saw a lot of villagers were waiting to have their bamboo shoots weighted so they could get paid. Each of them had a smile on their face.

“Forty jins. Yours still have the old, outer skin, so it will be four wens per jin. That will be one hundred and sixteen wen in total. Take it well.” Liu Duo recorded the transaction and then gave the money to the deserving villager.

Ye Liu and Li Wazi had taken the non-bitter bamboo shoots they had processed that morning to the restaurants in town, and they still hadn’t returned home.

“Sister-in-law, your bamboo shoots are selling quite well.” Ye Xuan walked in, went over beside Liu Duo, and watched her as she recorded the transactions.

Liu Duo glanced over at him when she heard him and then continued with her work. Ye Mo became extremely unhappy when he saw him. He was standing very close to Liu Duo as well. Ye Mo went over and pulled him to the side. “Ye Xuan, who permitted you to come here? Get away from here. We don’t welcome you!”

“Mo, the visitor is the guest. You are being so rude. Did you forget what the teacher taught you about manners?” Ye Xuan smiled, not feeling embarrassed.

“It is none of your business whether I forgot or not. Piss off quickly, or you can bet that I will beat you up!” Ye Mo lifted up his fist, very much wanting to hit him.

Ye Xuan didn’t feel scared at all. As if not wanting to argue with a village peasant, he smiled as he shook his head. “Mo, you used to be a learned man as well. How can you be so violent, always speaking of beating people up? You will scare your wife this way.”

Liu Duo complained in her heart when she heard him, Will scare me? I didn’t even get scared when he used to say he would break my legs, so what more of threatening to hit someone? I’m not someone who gets scared easily.

When Ye Mo heard what he said, he looked at Liu Duo and muttered in his heart, She didn’t even get scared when I said I would break her legs. Why would she feel scared if I threaten to hit someone?

Seeing that Ye Mo hadn’t responded, Ye Xuan smiled, moved closer to Ye Mo’s ears, and whispered softly, “Mo, I’m guessing the wife doesn’t like barbarous people. You need to change your temper. Women like men who are gentle. I feel that Ye Liu and Ye Ling are probably her favorite. After that is Yang. As for you…”

He stopped talking when he reached this point. He felt Ye Mo would be able to figure out the rest.

What he implied to Ye Mo was that he was Liu Duo’s least favorite because of his bad temper!

Liu Duo watched Ye Xuan whispering into Ye Mo’s ear and raised her eyebrows. How is it these two have secrets?

Ye Mo watched him from the corner of his eye for a couple of seconds and then pushed him. “If you have something to say just say it. Why do you have to come so close? Don’t say nonsense to me to try to drive a wedge between us. I won’t fall for this!”

He already knew Liu Duo didn’t like him, but he didn’t care. It was fine as long as he liked her. What was more, there were four brothers, so there would, of course, be someone who would rank last. It wasn’t like there was only one person!
