Chapter 78: Looking For Trouble

She swung her hands in silence as she marched forwards. Nothing good had ever come from being with him!

Back at the paddy fields, Liu Duo continued sitting by the sideline, and Ye Mo resumed weeding.

He could not do anything about Liu Duo’s neglect towards him. He did not know how he had offended her, and she would not talk about it!

“What’s up, Mo?” Li Wazi got curious about the gloom on Ye Mo’s face. He had just gone for a walk with his wife, and he had come back all fired up.

Ye Mo had his eyes on Liu Duo, who was looking up at the sky, wondering what was occupying her thoughts?

In response to Li Wazi’s words, Ye Mo’s expression dimmed. “More work, less talk.”

Li Chunmei looked over at Liu Duo, then again at Ye Mo’s handsome face. She thought, Liu Duo must have done something again to make him mad.

This wife is such a sinner! She only knows how to anger her husband!

As time passed, the weeds in the paddy field were all removed. “Thank you for your help today,” Ye Mo said to his neighbours.

“No need for that. It’s no big deal,” Li Wazi laughed.

Li Chunmei agreed, “Exactly!”

The three left the paddy field. Liu Duo saw that all was done and they could finally go home, so she got up and took the lead.

She had nothing good to say to them, much less a person like Li Chunmei, who was so self-centred and thought so highly of herself.

She knew that Li Chunmei thought about getting it on with other married men. What a typical home wrecker.

“Sister Chunmei, wait for me!” Xiao Ling shouted from behind them.

She had finished her work too and was heading home in the same direction.

As she got nearer, Li Chumei went ahead to catch up with Ye Mo.

“Third brother Mo, brother Li,” Xiao Ling greeted them as she approached.

Ye Mo nodded coolly. Li Wazi smiled.

The four of them walked behind while Liu Duo took the lead.

“Third brother Mo, why didn’t that wife of yours work today? Lazy bum. Even kids help with the farm. Why you didn’t say anything?” Xiao Ling’s voice was so loud even Liu Duo could hear her.

Xiao Ling was young – only fourteen. She heard everything from Li Chunmei, so she could not fathom Liu Duo’s actions and disliked her too, on top of disliking her role as a shared wife.

Ye Mo did not look at her but said coolly, “If she doesn’t want to work, then she doesn’t want to work.”

“…” Xiao Ling was stumped. If she did not help with the farm, she would be beaten or scolded by her family.

She felt extremely put off at Ye Mo’s reply. How could she, a shared wife, live such a good life?

As Li Chunmei listened, she felt that Ye Mo was a good man. Liu Duo was clearly not lovable, yet he tolerated her.

Li Wazi kept to himself. His wife did not work either, so it seemed totally normal. What was there to argue about?

Because he loved his wife.

Liu Duo stopped in her tracks and turned around, facing Ye Mo and then Xiao Ling.

How could someone so young be so devilish, only looking for trouble and not even thinking twice about her own circumstance.

“Little girl, it’s best to watch your words and don’t meddle in other people’s business. After all, careless conversations cause trouble! In the end, no one will marry you!”

Liu Duo smiled gently, but her words surely packed a punch.

Ye Mo felt indifferent, for he had been on the receiving end far too many times.

Li Wazi was caught by surprise, Mo’s wife cannot be underestimated!

Li Chunmei was not fooled by her smile. She felt that Liu Duo was very unreasonable to have said such things to Xiao Ling.

“What do you mean by that? How can you say that to Xiao Ling?” Li Chunmei defended her friend and questioned Liu Duo, as though Liu Duo had hurt Xiao Ling.
