Ye Ling nodded. Indeed he was jealous. Granny treated his cousin well. The parents were still alive. They were not rich, but at least they had family.
They, on the other hand, had lost their parents, and they had been left out of the family. His brothers took care of him as parents would, but they had never experienced parental or familial love and warmth.
Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye would only drop by to visit them once in while. After all, they had their own family to care about.
“Ling, don’t go envying others, alright? There’s no need to. From now on, all of us will live a good life together. You hear me?”
Liu Duo felt that they had to look forward. The past was the past, no matter whether it was good or bad. Dwelling on the past would only bring more trouble.
When she was first reborn, she missed her parents, but those were all bad memories. She remembered how her parents had suffered to care for her sickness.
She felt that her leaving was a relief to them and a relief for herself too. So, she could only pray now that they were leading a healthy and happy life in the other world.
“Yes, Duo Er is right. We’ll definitely live a prosperous life,” Ye Mo smiled, brimming with determination. He believed that without eccentric elders and sneaky in-laws, the five of them would live blissfully.
“There we go. Who they are and how they are have no effect on us. Don’t let your mood be affected because of them.” She wanted them to know not to let irrelevant figures affect their mood.
“Right.”
Lunch was almost ready. Liu Duo and Ye Ling ate happily at the table, as Ye Mo listened and looked on. If he spoke, Liu Duo would get on his case very soon, so he would rather keep his mouth shut in case he made her angry again. He ate in silence.
…
“Mo, Ling, you guys having lunch?” Ye Xuan buoyantly entered their yard.
Ye Mo and Ye Ling furrowed their brows at him. What was he doing here?
Ye Mo had no kind words to say, “Ye Xuan, what are you here for? Shouldn’t you be studying at home, not running around?”
At the mention of the name, Liu Duo looked up at this full-time student, who didn’t have to do or care about anything and yet could not pass his exams.
Ye Xuan did not look too ugly, but he wasn’t handsome either. He was probably a bit better looking than the average person, but compared to the four brothers here, he was a long way off.
Ye Xuan entered the yard and immediately saw Liu Duo. She was the reason he had come anyway. Ye Lanlan told him about the brothers’ shared wife and how she was uncultured, holding a man’s hand in broad daylight, so he had to come and see for himself.
“Mo, one can’t be too eager in his studies, and one can’t study for the sake of studying, can he? No. I miss you and Ling, so I decided to stop by,” he chortled, and without being invited, he went to sit at their table.
Ye Mo did not believe him. Other people might not know Ye Xuan, but he did. Ye Xuan posed as a scholar on the outside, but deep down he was rotten.
Ye Ling heard that and did not believe him either. Ye Xuan missed them? What a joke!
Ye Mo and Ye Ling did not want to bother with him. They had nothing good to say to him. Liu Duo finished the last of her meal and put down her chopsticks in contentment.
As for the two brothers, they had not finished their food. So, she asked, “Why aren’t you eating? Don’t let the fly bother your lunch. Don’t starve.”
Fly? Ye Ling looked at her curiously. It’s still spring. What fly?
