Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife - Chapter 702

Chapter 702: Hid The Real Reason From Her

Li Wazi washed his hands by the well, then he came to pick up his son.

Liu Duo remained calm and collected as she faced the other way with Little Huzi still in her arms. She smiled at the father. “Brother Li, where did you guys go to collect tomatoes this afternoon?”

Li Wazi, ever the honest man, replied, “Just the few villages around here. Why? Liu Duo, you should know this much.”

There were only so many villages in the vicinity. They had always traveled within the area. Where else could they go?

He thought it odd for her to ask about it like that. He looked on curiously.

“Brother Li, what I meant was, why were you back so late? I mean, you three have only collected so few tomatoes?” Liu Duo dove straight to the point.

After that, Li Wazi began to avoid her gaze, as though he was guilty of something.

Liu Duo raised a brow. She knew something was up with their questionable time management, but she stopped probing. At least now she could confirm that something fishy was going on!

She passed his son to him. “Brother Li, take Little Huzi. I’m going to the kitchen.”

“Alright.” Li Wazi sighed in relief. He was thankful she had stopped, because he was afraid he could not hold up any longer.

They had come back later than usual today because Ye Liu and Ye Mo suddenly suggested going one time around the town before slowly returning home.

He did not want to go to town. In fact, he wanted to get back earlier to be with his son. Yet, because the brothers knew that Liu Duo would force them to revert her bed once they get back, and because they satisfied his own curiosity by telling him why they had widened her bed in the first place, he heeded their request.

He even hid from Liu Duo the real reason they were late.

Just then, Ye Yang came back from the backyard. “Brother Li.”

His face was void of expression as he called his name. Even his eyes seemed calm and peaceful.

“Yes, Yang,” Li Wazi responded.

“Where did you all go?” Ye Yang directly asked.

They were quite late today. Despite knowing full well that his brothers had done so to procrastinate, he really wanted to know where the three of them had gone.

Er…

He did not expect to be interrogated by Ye Yang. For a moment, Li Wazi was stunned.

As far as he knew, Ye Yang was not one to ask questions, so Li Wazi was caught off guard.

When he came to, he gulped and replied, “Nowhere, actually. We just went around town and came back here.”

He would not dare to lie under Ye Yang’s gaze, so he told the truth.

Upon receiving the answer, Ye Yang nodded slightly in acknowledgement and did not go on to ask what they had done in town.

Li Wazi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Yang did not intend to probe.

Yang and Liu Duo can be quite scary sometimes.

After dinner, Li Wazi waited for his wife to finish washing the dishes before bringing his whole family home. He had no desire to stay any longer, for fear that Liu Duo and Ye Yang would suddenly follow up their interrogation!

“Liuzi, since it’s still bright outside, I want you, Yang, and Mo to turn my bed back the way it was!” Liu Duo commanded Ye Liu.

There were only five of them in the house now. She could say whatever she wanted without having to worry that other people could hear her.

Ye Liu expected that much, and said mischievously, “My dear lady boss, we’ve barely finished dinner and you want us to get back to work? Talk about exploitation.”

Ye Mo added next, “Dear wife, Liu and I have orders from Yang to be carried out now. Since what’s done is done, it’ll be such a bother to change it back. Be good, will you?”

As if on cue, Ye Liu cleverly left the compound with Ye Mo in tow.
