Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Ye Yang and the others weren’t delighted about Ye Xuan’s arrival either, but they said nothing. He could tutor Liu Ran, so they just let him be.

Liu Duo knew why he had come again, so she asked, “How did it go?”

Ye Xuan went inside and said to her sternly, “I’ve asked the students. They said they saw him with a man, and they were rushing home, so they didn’t wait for him.”

With that, Liu Duo sank deeper into thought. A man?

Ye Mo looked at Ye Xuan. He had stopped wanting to chase him out. Instead, he wondered, who could the man be?

The others were thinking too, when suddenly Ye Liu followed up with another question, “Xuan, did the students mention anything about what the man looked like? Any marks on his face? A mole, perhaps? What about his height?”

“One student said the man seemed to be crippled. He didn’t notice anything else.”

Ye Mo went ballistic when he arrived at a conclusion: Liu Qing!

He got so mad that he pounded the table as he jumped from his seat, “It has to be that bloody Liu Qing!”

Ye Liu considered him too. He stood up and said to Liu Duo, “Little Duo, let’s go to their house.”

Ye Yang, Ye Ling, and Li Wazi all got to their feet.

Liu Duo nodded.

Aunt Li and Little Lian stayed at home.

At the Liu family home, Liu Qing had tied Liu Ran’s hands and feet and stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth, so he couldn’t cry for help.

“Relax, I won’t hurt you. I just want some money from Sister Duo,” Liu Qing sat on a stool, looking at his captive.

Liu Ran only furrowed his brow and glared at him furiously.

Hours earlier, Liu Qing had blocked his path and wanted to take him back. Liu Ran had been reluctant, so Liu Qing had grabbed him by force and took him there.

Liu Qing didn’t want to bother with Liu Ran’s angry stare, so he left the room.

Grandmother Liu saw him come out. She furrowed her brow, disagreeing with his actions, “Qing Er, what you’re doing isn’t right.”

She thought about Liu Duo and her four husbands. Even though one of them, Ye Ling, was a good-looking cripple with little defensive skills, each of the other three packed a powerful punch. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with.

Especially Ye Yang. She had experienced first-hand what he could do. He could lift her up with one hand and toss her quite a distance, and she could tell he had been holding back.

“Grandmother, don’t worry. We just want some money from Sister Duo. We aren’t going to hurt Brother Ran,” Liu Qing said, as thought it wasn’t a big deal.

Liu Ran was their bargaining chip, so he bet that Liu Duo would have no choice but to pay!

Grandmother Liu went silent when he said that. She didn’t say she agreed with her eldest grandson, that they were just reeling Liu Duo in to ask her for money, and that they couldn’t possibly hurt Liu Ran, because he was, after all, her youngest grandson.

When Liu Duo and the gang arrived at the house, Ye Mo lifted his foot and kicked down the door.

Liu Qing and Grandmother Liu heard the noise and rushed out.

Liu Qing was about to open his mouth when Ye Mo went straight to him and punched him in the face, “Where have you been holding the brat? Talk, or don’t think I’m not going to break your other leg! Then you’ll have a pair!”

Seeing this happening in front of her, Grandmother Liu attempted to stop Ye Mo. She yelled, “Do you think you’re above the law? How dare you come to our house and start a fight!”

Ye Liu approached and gave Liu Qing a good kick too, “Law? You’ve been hiding our brother-in-law. What law do you know of?”

Li Wazi stepped forward too. He helped by blocking Grandmother Liu, so that it was easier for the men to teach Liu Qing a ‘lesson’.
