He felt that, although Liu Duo had said she didn’t want to meddle in their business, she still cared about them in her heart. After all, she was her mother.
Ye Liu stepped in front of Liu Liushi and Liu Ran and blocked their path. “Madam, that old lady from your family came to our house to look for you. You should go back quickly.”
Liu Liushi was stunned for a while when she saw Ye Liu suddenly appear. She frowned after she heard him and thought, Mother actually went to Liu Duo’s place to look for us? That definitely made Liu Duo unhappy.
Liu Ran looked at Ye Liu and said with a blank expression, “Big brother, you are so handsome.”
He then asked, “Why did my grandmother go to your house to look for us?”
Ye Liu looked at Liu Ran and patted his head. “Your grandmother thought that you guys went to look for your sister and were staying with us.”
He looked at Liu Ran and felt that he didn’t look very similar to Liu Duo. However, he could see some of Liu Duo in him. After all, they were brother and sister who were related by blood.
Liu Ran didn’t have dimples on the corner of his mouth. His skin also wasn’t as fair as Liu Duo’s. However, he was a cute little boy who would definitely grow up to be a hunk.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ran immediately said, with a sweet smile, “Then you are my brother-in-law!”
Ye Liu heard him and then lowered his back to pick him up. “You’re right. I am your brother-in-law! Let’s go, brother-in-law will bring you to our house so you can see your big sister.”
He originally just wanted to give them some money and have them go home.
However, when he heard Liu Ran call him brother-in-law, he could feel how much Liu Ran missed Liu Duo, and that made him change his mind. He wanted to bring him to see Liu Duo and explain how dearly he missed his big sister.
When Liu Liushi heard him, she said, “There’s no need. We don’t want to go and interrupt Liu Duo’s life. Duo Er, come down quickly.”
She held Liu Ran’s hands, took him over and then placed him down on the ground.
Liu Ran looked at Liu Liushi with a face that seemed to be asking ‘Why?’ Why couldn’t they go when brother-in-law already allowed them to go see big sister?
Liu Liushi held his hand and then said to Ye Liu, “We will get going. I will rest easy if you guys can treat Duo Duo well.”
After she finished speaking, she continued to walk forward aimlessly with Liu Ran.
Ye Liu looked at their backs. He felt that she probably really loved Liu Duo, but she was similar to his late parents. She lost Liu Duo, because she was being filial to the point of stupidity!
He shook his head, took out a string of thirty wens, and then ran after them to give her the money. “You should take this money and go home quickly.”
Liu Liushi shook her head and rejected it. She didn’t want to take advantage of them.
Seeing this, Ye Liu put the string of money into Liu Ran’s hands, turned around, and left. He didn’t stop to speak with them anymore.
The reason he did this was that they were Liu Duo’s relatives. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cared!
He went back to the ox-cart and then drove it towards their house.
When they returned, Liu Duo was chatting happily with Aunt Li. The atmosphere was really nice.
“Little Duo, we are back.” Ye Liu shouted.
Within a short time, Liu Duo and Aunt Li saw Ye Liu and Li Wazi driving an ox-cart in through the yard door.
He drove the ox-cart to a corner of the yard and then took the cork on the ox cart down. He then tied it to the side to let it drink water and eat grass. They had pulled some extra grass in advance while they were on their way home.
Liu Duo walked over and looked at the ox. “Mr. Liuzi, it seems the ox you bought is even stronger than Uncle Wang’s.”
“That is of course. Uncle Wang’s ox is much older. Our ox is in its prime. Its legs are strong, and it is very fast.” Ye Liu smiled happily. They would of course, naturally, buy the strongest and fastest ox to pull the bamboo shoots!
