Chapter 5: No Trust At All

“Third Brother, don’t be so scary. You’re scaring her.” Ye Ling said immediately. He was afraid that his Third Brother would actually hurt Liu Duo.

After he put down the pack basket and ax, Ye Mo glared at Liu Duo while standing at the yard gate. He seemed to be saying, ‘Don’t you dare to try and go out!’

Witnessing Ye Mo’s childish actions, and hearing his odious words, Liu Duo was not in a mood to argue with him, so she got up and returned to the room after responding him by rolling her eyes. She had a bad impression of Ye Mo, while Ye Mo was irritated by Liu Duo’s reaction, his chest moving up and down.

“Little Fourth, you’d better not dote on her. Instead, we need to be harsh to let her know what we are capable of, or she might run off again!”

“Third Brother, I understand and will keep an eye on her. But I think she won’t run off if we treat her well and let her feel it.” Ye Ling tried to persuade his Third Brother.

“Yes, I know. However, we need to be tough when it’s necessary, or she won’t know who she is!” Ye Mo picked up the ax and started to chop firewood.

Ye Ling took up the washed bowl and chopsticks. Then, he put them in the kitchen. While lying on the bed, Liu duo was digesting her identity as the shared wife with her mouth drawn and retracted.

Rich families had several wives and concubines, while the poor only shared one wife in some places. Bluntly speaking, it was buying a wife for the purpose of giving birth to children to continue the family line.

I spent my whole previous life fighting against serious illness and never had a man. Now God gave me not only a healthy body to relive but four men in total. Is this some kind of compensation? How good my fortune is in love affairs!

So shared wife I am. Who said only men could have several life partners? At the moment, I have four legal husbands. Since all were given by God, I will enjoy my life with a laugh! She fell asleep in a daze while hearing the sound of firewood being chopped.

A couple of hours later, Liu Duo woke up. She got out of bed, prepared the long cloth strips given by the Third Aunt in her hands, and went to the outhouse for changing.

The two brothers cooperated orderly to prepare supper in the kitchen. One was tending the fire, and the other was cooking.

Liu Duo cracked open the outhouse door and went in. Ye Mo heard the door creak and went out to have a look immediately.

He found her neither in the yard nor in the room where Liu Duo was supposed to be sleeping. After that, he rushed outside in a hurry, opened the gate, and ran out.

Ye Mo looked around outside the yard and did not see anyone, either. On his way rushing back, he saw Liu Duo pull the wooden door of the outhouse and come out.

“Ah!” Liu Duo was startled by Ye Mo’s hastiness.

She patted her chest and stared at Ye Mo, saying, “Do you know it’s quite scary when people are scared by others?”

“You…” Seeing her come out of the outhouse, Ye Mo was embarrassed by his deed, due to the thought that Liu Duo had run off again.

“I what! Rushing around like this, you look either ill-minded or mentally disordered,” said Liu Duo, rolling her eyes. Then she took the used cloth strip to the side of the well to clean it.

Liu Duo didn’t want to be good to Ye Mo, who suspected again that she would run off without any trace of trust in her. In addition, she was really startled just now.

Listening to her words, and watching her cold back, Ye Mo got extremely furious.

“Who are you calling ill-minded and mentally disordered? It’s all because you didn’t tell anyone!”

“Whoever answered is the one I’m talking about! How could you act so terribly even after making the mistake of startling me? What’s wrong is wrong. Accept it! Should I inform all of you loudly when I’m going to the outhouse? It’s not like I’m sick or anything!”

Liu Duo didn’t pay any attention to Ye Mo any more. She drew the end of the bucket and dropped it into the well. After trying several times, frustratingly she still couldn’t fetch any water.

How badly she missed the tap water pipe! “Fourth Brother, come over here.”

She could only ask Ye Ling for help. The cloth strip was not disposable, so it needed to be washed, changed with new charcoal ashes, and sewen up. At that moment, she missed the disposable ‘sanitary pads’ so badly.
