Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Although the people who were detained in town had objections, they didn’t dare to air them openly. Each of them discussed by whispering in one another’s ear. What exactly was going on?

“What do you guys think is happening? Who does the government want to catch?”

“I’m not sure. I didn’t hear about any major murder case recently. This is really too strange.”

“How much longer do we need to stay here before we can go home? I haven’t returned for a long time. My family is definitely very worried.”

“Yeah!”

The government officials and officers heard the whispers of complaints and growing impatience but remained unmoved…

Half an hour passed by quickly again but they were still not allowed to leave. Each of the detained villagers became anxious and on edge from waiting.

Just as the villagers who were anxious to go home were about to riot, a government official wearing a soldier’s outfit came and announced, “Let them go!”

When Ye Liu heard him, he let out a sigh of relief. He could finally go home. He had even been worried that he wouldn’t be able to leave tonight.

At this time, Ye Yang and Ye Mo arrived in town. They saw quite a number of soldiers and officers standing guard at each of the crossroads.

The two of them exchanged glances. They had a tacit understanding and both of them sped up to search for Ye Liu.

The detained villagers were allowed to leave and all of them started pushing and shoving, wanting to leave. It felt like a human stampede was about to suddenly happen.

The government officials and officers saw this and immediately tried to maintain order. “Don’t push…don’t push…”

Ye Liu saw what was happening and had no choice but to let go of the reins in his hand that he had already picked up. He could only wait until the crowd cleared up slightly before driving the bullock-cart again and leaving!

In any case, he had already waited for so long so he didn’t feel anxious about waiting for a while longer.

Ye Mo looked for signs of Ye Liu on the streets and saw that many of the villagers looked like they were rushing. He pulled one of them aside and asked, “Mister, may I ask, did something happen in town? Why are there so many soldiers and officers? And why do all of you look like you are rushing somewhere?”

“I’m not sure!” The mister he asked was frowning and also looked confused. “They seemed to be trying to catch someone. The soldiers and officers are guarding each of the crossroads and streets. Nobody in town was allowed to leave until the person they were after was caught! They just let us go and we are all rushing home.”

After the mister finished speaking, he left anxiously. He needed to rush home quickly.

When Ye Mo heard him, the frown on his forehead was so intense it could squish a mosquito. Why did he feel like something bad was about to happen?

“Let’s go,” Ye Yang called out to the spaced-out Ye Mo and continued to walked forward to look for signs of Ye Liu.

What he thought was, instead of guessing randomly, it would be better to quickly find Ye Liu. Even if the soldiers and officers were trying to catch someone, it was definitely unrelated to Liu!

On Ye Liu’s side, after order was restored, the villagers who were leaving left orderly one by one…

And the few people who were injured from being stepped on were brought to the corner of the street and ignored.

However, when Ye Liu drove the bullock-cart to leave, those people blocked his path.

“Young man, can you send me back? My legs are injured from being stepped on and I truly cannot walk such a long way!”

“Yeah, young man, send me back! Of course, we won’t just take it for free.” Another elderly man echoed what the previous had said.

In response, Ye Liu frowned ever so slightly.

If this happened during the day, even if they didn’t pay and weren’t from the same village, he wouldn’t mind sending them back. However, it was already very late and didn’t he also have to rush back home?

Moreover, the three of them were each from different villages. It was three people and three destinations!

Going back and forth would take at least another one or two hours before he could get home.
