Chapter 416 - Me? Stop them? Ha…
Chapter 416: Me? Stop them? Ha…
When the matchmaker heard her, she felt a bit fearful in her heart, even though she saw that Liu Duo was clearly smiling nicely.
There was also an unmarried girl amongst the crowd. When she heard what Liu Duo said, she said disapprovingly, “Even if you are their wife, you are just a shared wife! They have the condition to each take their own wife, so why shouldn’t they? You won’t be able to stop them, even if you want to!”
The unmarried girl was jealous that Liu Duo actually had such handsome husbands who also knew how to make money. She also wanted to marry the two of them.
If she were to marry them, she would definitely not have to endure hardships and could also wear such nice looking clothes.
Upon hearing her, Liu Duo looked at the young girl. She was tall and thin and didn’t look bad.
When she looked over to Ye Liu and Ye Mo, she saw a clear look of shyness and infatuation in their eyes.
Ye Liu and Ye Mo had become very happy when they heard what Liu Duo had just said. Was she declaring her ownership over them?
Just as the two of them were about to speak, Liu Duo said with a smile, “Me? Stop them? Ha… If they want to marry, then they can do so!”
When she finished speaking, she even winked at the girl with a confident smile on her face.
If Ye Yang and the other three really had such a wish, how was she supposed to stop them?
Even if she were able to stop them, what would be the use of forcing them to stay by her side when they no longer had the heart to do so?
Ye Liu laughed when he heard what she said. It wasn’t like he didn’t know what was in Liu Duo’s heart. If they really wanted to marry someone else, not only would she not stop them, but she would vacate her position.
She had said long ago that, if they were to betrayed her, she would not hesitate to leave! They had only her in their hearts, so why would they remarry?
Ye Mo said angrily to the young girl, “Don’t talk about such nonsense in front of our beloved! All those who are not here to sell tomatoes can piss off far away! I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you people!”
He was furious. Had the condition to marry a wife? This was simply asking them to become traitors to their love!
The furious Ye Mo made the villagers feel a bit afraid. When they had come to buy the bamboo shoots, they already knew he had a short temper, and they couldn’t afford to provoke him.
Ye Liu laughed, “Matchmaker, us brothers won’t marry another wife. You should go and run your errands. Help us spread the message while you are at it. Three wens for a jin of tomatoes, and we won’t accept the ones with cracks…”
He went back to the main topic. He wasn’t going to discuss anything else that was not related to buying tomatoes. Ever since the brothers had agreed to have a shared wife, they had never thought of marrying another woman!
It wasn’t just because that was what their mother entrusted upon them. It was also because Liu Duo had already deeply entrenched herself in their hearts. They only wanted to have her, and having her was enough!
When the villagers who lived close by returned to their homes, they immediately took the tomatoes they had picked during the two previous days, put them into baskets, and brought them over to Ye Liu
“I’ve brought the tomatoes from my house. Measure how many jins are here. They were picked these past two days, so they are still fresh, and there aren’t any cracks.” One of the villagers delivered a basket of tomatoes to Ye Liu.
Ye Liu nodded and took it over. He did a token examination to see if there were any cracks and then took it to the scale to weigh them. “Mister, yours is about eight jins and slightly more. How about I count it as eight jins?”
The basket also had some weight to it.
They had already built trust with the villagers when they started to buy bamboo shoots. That was why they were not worried that the villagers might sneak some with cracks into the pile.
The villager nodded. It was fine, as long as he could get money. “Okay. Do as you see fit.”
Ye Mo saw that Ye Liu had finished measuring the weight and took out the account book and wrote it down. From the pouch Ye Ling had sewn, he took out twenty-five wens that he had prepared earlier and handed it over.
The voices of the villagers could be heard continuously, and they were also carrying bright red tomatoes…
Liu Duo just stood there quietly on the side and watched the two of them cooperating. She hadn’t really take what the villager said to heart.
