In another part of the village, Liu Duo was carrying her basket on the way to the paddy fields when she met Xiaoling, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
It had been a few months since she had last seen her. Xiaoling had grown taller and her skin was darker. She seemed afraid of Liu Duo at first, but steered herself to look her in the eyes.
The act of deterrence Liu Duo had pulled on her last time was still effective.
In regards to this, Liu Duo thought, crazy woman! How dare you look at me like that? However much you widen your eyes they’ll still be small!
Liu Duo let her be as she walked on her own path, ignoring her.
Xiaoling couldn’t figure out why, but she got fired up at the sight of her!
Why did Liu Duo get to have fair skin? Why was her own skin so dark? How did a shared wife like her get a set of handsome husbands who treated her so well?
It was so unfair! Fate was totally unfair!
Xiaoling couldn’t care less as she passed her by and knocked into her on purpose, looking for trouble. The little fear she had towards Liu Duo was drowned and replaced by jealousy.
“Are you blind? Don’t you watch where you’re going?”
Hehe….. me and my fiery temper!
Liu Duo frowned. Perhaps this little missy was intentionally trying to provoke her?
It was a wide road and she was walking on one side, how could she collide with anyone? And she was walking ahead of Xiaoling. There was a lot of space on the left side, so how could the girl collide with her?
Liu Duo beamed at her and uttered her next sentence very clearly: “I think you’re the one who’s blind! No matter how hard you glare at me with eyes as small as green beans, they’ll still stay the size of green beans, and ugly too!”
Xiaoling got enraged too when Liu Duo called her out on her small eyes. She hated it when other people said that.
She decided to give Liu Duo a push, an attempt to embarrass her.
Liu Duo had her eyes on Xiaoling’s every move. Before the girl could do anything, Liu Duo took the initiative and directly gave her a flying kick.
Xiaoling’s friends nearby saw her being beaten up and rushed to her aid. When Liu Duo saw that, she quickly made a run for it and escaped.
Xiaoling, in pain, glared at Liu Duo’s disappearing figure and shouted angrily, “Don’t run! You coward!”
Liu Duo heard her, but she kept the laughter to herself and did not respond. She was alone, and if the three women ganged up on her, she wouldn’t win!
She wasn’t an idiot.
“Xiaoling, is she crazy? Why did she kick you like that?” Her friends weren’t familiar with Liu Duo.
“She’s the Ye brothers’ shared wife. Liu Duo.”
The three nodded in acknowledgment.
“Go, beat the crap out of her for me. I’ve hated her for a long time.”
But the three shook their heads. They wouldn’t dare to go against Ye Mo’s wife, otherwise they would suffer a worse fate inflicted by Ye Mo himself.
“Xiaoling, why should we do that? We needn’t be violent. Hasn’t your mother arranged a marriage for you? Don’t let them hear about this, otherwise the groom’s family won’t like you.”
They tried to persuade her with their own reasons, none of them willing to help Xiaoling with her revenge.
Xiaoling witnessed Liu Duo going further and further away.
When she arrived at the paddy field, Liu Duo wiped the sweat off her forehead, then she called out, “Yang, Liuzi, Mo, Ling, come take a rest. Have some fruit to quench your thirst.”
The four came to her. Then, Ye Ling asked, “Duo Er, I saw you running here just now. Don’t you feel hot?”
“Yes, I do. But a couple of mad women were chasing me. I wouldn’t want them to catch up,” Liu Duo said truthfully.
Ye Mo frowned. “Who are they? Who’s after you?”
There were people after his wife? They must have consumed the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!
