Liu Duo, who was digging very vigorously, didn’t even lift her head. “Bamboo shoots. I’m getting some so that we can eat them at home.”
These bamboo shoots were at the stage where they were still tender, so they would taste delicious.
Ye Yang heard her, crouched down, and helped her dig up the shoots. It wouldn’t make a difference if he cut the bamboo later. Since she wanted to eat them, he would help her dig it. They didn’t usually eat things like this, since they were too rough, but eating them once in a while was still okay.
They dug up quite a few jins of the shoots before long. Liu Duo clapped her hands and smiled, “That’s enough. Once we finish eating it, we will come here and dig them up again when we want to eat it.”
Ye Yang nodded his head, turned around, and continued to cut the bamboo. Liu Duo looked at the bamboo shoots and spaced out. She then looked at Ye Yang cutting the bamboo.
“Yang, we didn’t bring the basket backpack. How will we carry them back?”
Ye Yang had only brought ropes and a chopping knife when they came. The bamboo could be bundled together and carried back, but how were they supposed to bring back the bamboo shoots?
The bamboo had already been chopped. Ye Yang, who was shaving the branches, looked at Liu Duo and said, “We will come back and get them later.”
But Liu Duo said, after she heard him, “I will go back now to get the basket backpack. You just stay here and watch.”
This way was fine too. Ye Yang nodded in agreement. Liu Duo turned around and went back home to get the basket backpack.
Ye Mo, who had gone out to get firewood, came across Li Chunmei again. However, she hadn’t brought any equipment, so she didn’t look like she was there to chop firewood.
Ye Mo turned around and left when he saw her. He had already said he would stay away from her. Otherwise, if Liu Duo found out, he would suffer a calamity!
Now, whenever Ye Mo saw Li Chunmei, he would think of what Liu Duo had said to him, I’ll sort you out!
“Mo, Mo, why did you leave after you saw me?” Li Chunmei promptly hobbled over when she saw what happened.
It seemed like she had really hurt her leg, so it wasn’t fake, as Liu Duo guessed.
Ye Mo walked to the side and continued to chop firewood. He treated Li Chunmei like air and ignored her.
“Mo, I want to thank you for taking me home. After my leg got better, I came here to wait for you.” Li Chunmei said, one-sidedly.
Ye Mo’s hand did not stop chopping the firewood. He didn’t even look at her, let alone reply to her.
Li Chunmei looked at how he was behaving and found it difficult to bear. They had been fine the last time they met. It had only been a few days, so why did he suddenly behave so coldly towards her? Although he wasn’t very friendly towards her before, he had never refused to reply to her!
“Mo, why aren’t you talking to me? Did I do something wrong that made you unhappy? Don’t ignore me, please?” Li Chunmei walked forward and tugged on Ye Mo’s sleeve. She looked like she had been wronged and was about to cry.
Ye Mo frowned and pushed her hand away. His cool face looked impatient. “Chunmei, I’ve already said it was nothing and that you don’t need to thank me. If it were any other person, I would’ve taken them home all the same! You are unmarried so you should stop touching me, since it would affect your image.”
When Li Chunmei heard him, she thought that Ye Mo cared about her reputation and was doing it for her own good. She said with a smile, “Mo, it’s fine. There’s nobody here anyway. Besides, I don’t mind it.”
She even looked shy in the face when she finished speaking.
Ye Mo, who was oblivious to people’s feelings, only now realized that what Ye Ling had said that day was true. Li Chunmei really did have feelings for him!
He frowned even more and thought, You don’t mind, but I mind!
He was a person with a wife!
“Chumei, I hope that you will be careful in the future. You best not say things like this! After all, you are a girl.” He placed the firewood he had chopped into the basket backpack and wanted to create some distance between them.
