Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Chapter 498



Chapter 498: Otherwise…

Hei Xiaomeng got excited by the sudden comotion. It jumped and leaped and barked at the top of its lungs…

Apparently even dogs liked a good show.

Ye Xuan had had his fill. He put down his chopsticks and went to break up the fight, “Grandmother, stop it! Stop fighting!”

“Xuan Er, this old hag slapped me! She dared to slap me! I’m going to kill her…”

“You’re the old hag here…”

The two women, who were barely a few years apart, had gotten themselves into this mess. Ye Xuan’s brow tightened, and he decided to release his grandmother. Let them fight! He had had enough of their atrocity!

Liu Qing was trapped in his own little world, wondering why Liu Duo hadn’t responded. He thought about the next day and about how he would be taken away by the government officials, and he got scared… It didn’t even register that his grandmother was fighting with someone else.

Liu Quanyan’s waist might have gotten a bit better, but he didn’t want to put too much strain on it, so he gently advised his mother, “Let’s stop. We have to beg Duo Er to forgive Qing Er…”

And so, Grandmother Liu folded.

He was right. She was not there to pick a fight with the other old woman. They had important business to deal with.

Ye Xuan saw that she had relented, but his own grandmother hadn’t had enough. He furrowed his brow and said, “Just go home. Otherwise…”

Grandmother Ye didn’t want to imagine what he had left unsaid, so she stopped too.

The fight had finally ended. Ye Xuan courteously excused himself and then left with Grandmother Ye at his heels.

Her hair was messed up, and there were scratch marks all over her face. On top of that, her disorderly attire made her look like a total wreck!

Grandmother Liu wasn’t any better…

Ye Yang and the gang didn’t concern themselves with the drama that took place at their entrance. They paid no mind to it.

After the meal, and after doing the dishes, Aunt Li and her family stayed for a while longer before leaving with Little Huzi.

Ye Mo shut the door right after they left, and while he was there, he gave the unwanted visitors a sly remark, “You better scram while you can. Otherwise, if you get under my skin, I may not have control over my fists…”

With that, he balled his hand into a fist, and his meaning was clearly understood.

‘Bang’ went the door in their face, cutting off their view of the yard.

“Grandmother…” Liu Qing turned to face Grandmother Liu, his face bruised, stupefied, and lifeless.

Grandmother Liu just sat on the ground. She had run out of ideas.

In the yard, the family members went about their regular chores, paying no mind to this matter. They washed themselves and went to their own rooms, ready for bed.

Liu Duo brushed her hair, blew out the oil lamp, and got into bed.

Ye Ling lay next to her and asked gently, “Duo Er, are we really going to the government office to press charges tomorrow?”

He wasn’t taking their side. He was just asking.

“Of course! I can’t just let this matter pass. Their harassment has gone on long enough, and after this, I’m not sure he wouldn’t try a second time, so I’m definitely not going to give him that chance!”

She hadn’t thought Liu Qing, that rascal, would ever turn to kidnapping and demand a ransom from her.

Hehe, she had surely underestimated him…

Ye Ling nodded in agreement, “Yes, that’s right! If we let them off the hook now, he’d surely do something even worse in the future!”

“Exactly. Let’s not talk about this, Ling. We should sleep. You must be tired today, aren’t you? Get some rest,” Liu Duo rolled sideways and closed her eyes as she held him by the arm.

She actually felt rather tired too. She had been through a highly distressing situation and the weather was terribly hot. She was beyond exhausted.

Very soon, uniform breathing sounds could be heard in the room…

Liu Duo fell asleep before Ye Ling did, even though she was the one who had urged him to rest. In the dark, Ye Ling marveled at how cute she was.
