“Liu, time to go. Our wife and Ling will be worried.”
Ye Mo did not ask him what was taking so long. He could do that later when no one else was around.
Ye Yang seamlessly gave Ye Liu a once-over from head to toe and only looked away when he did not spot anything out of the ordinary. He eyed the stranger on the cart.
When he heard Mo mention that Liu Duo would be worried, Ye Liu also wanted to return as soon as possible, though his face revealed nothing but calmness.
“Alright, but let me deal with one more thing,” Ye Liu said, and looked back at the man on the cart. “Hey, mister, are you coming down yourself or do you want my help?”
Ye Yang and Ye Mo looked over at him too.
At that moment, the man felt extremely horrified to have an icy gaze, a pair of smiley eyes, and a savage look staring at him.
He gulped, and was about to choose the latter option, when someone grabbed him by the shoulder and he staggered. A fierce voice shouted at him, “You get down now!”
After hearing what Ye Liu said, Ye Mo could not care less and directly made a move, brutishly forcing the man off the bullock cart.
He did not bother asking why!
Ye Yang did not comment on this. He merely watched silently by the sideline. If Mo was unable to shake the man off, he would step in to help.
Ye Liu chuckled. His third brother had always been quite impatient.
That was what made him so affable, he guessed.
“Mister, you’re very much like a nobleman. You even need help getting down from the cart!” Ye Liu said and lent a hand.
That was what he intended to do before Ye Mo’s shout interrupted him.
Ye Liu might be smiling, but he could be just as forceful as Ye Mo.
The other two wounded men who had given way felt lucky that they did not persist on taking the bullock cart.
The two brothers ruthlessly dragged the man off of the cart and, not giving him any chance to react, dumped him on the sidewalk.
“Ow…” Being roughly treated like that, he protested, “How could you be so heartless to treat the wounded like this? It’s not like I wouldn’t pay! Wait till I report you for throwing me off!”
Report?
Fed up with his rambling, Ye Mo frowned and was about to give him a good kick when Ye Yang stopped him.
“Let’s go!”
He did not want to delay any more time because of that man. Their wife and Ling might still be staying up right now, waiting for them to get home.
Ye Liu glanced at the man, ignored him, and turned to the other two. “Do you want a ride? Come on up.”
The men shook their heads. “No, thank you. I’ll walk.”
“Me too.”
It would be very late at night by the time they got home, especially with the injuries they had sustained, but they could not afford to pay one tael of silver for a ride.
Ye Liu smiled. He knew they refused because of the fare, so he said, “Come on up, we’ll take you for free.”
He knew their journey would be very delayed if he gave them a ride, and he initially did not want to be a busybody, but he decided to help after seeing their injuries and how slow their movements were when they gave way.
When Ye Mo heard Liu say that, he furrowed his brows so tightly that he could have used them to kill mosquitoes!
He did not want want to waste any more time, so he voiced out to Ye Liu, “Liu, how long do you plan to delay?”
