Liu Duo boiled over with rage, but she resisted. Gritting her teeth, she said, “Little Mo, you say I’m wasteful? What have I wasted, then? I spend money like water, but did I spend yours? You won’t hand over the money you have? I don’t care. Who needs you?!”
She took back the treat in his hands, “This is mine. I wasted my money on these. So you better not eat it! When you have money, go buy it yourself!”
Ye Yang looked on as they quarreled like children. Glee shone in his eyes as he patted Liu Duo’s head.
Ye Ling stepped in to mediate, “Mo, Duo Er, can you please stop fighting? We are family. Why do you have to say these things?
Then he passed a treat to Ye Mo, who rejected it and turned away, “So what? This is obviously for kids. I’m not eating it!”
When he had taken one moments before, he didn’t really want to eat it. He just thought it looked small and cute.
“Ling, he doesn’t want to eat, so let’s leave him be. How can an old man eat children’s snacks anyway? Don’t mind him. Let’s have some.” Liu Duo emphasized the word “children”.
Honestly, anyone of any age could enjoy the snack, but he just had to point out that it was for children. Didn’t that indirectly mean he was immature?
“Hmmph…” Ye Mo said coolly, turning his back to Liu Duo.
He shouted in his mind. You’re the old one! I’m obviously in my youth!
Along the way, Ye Mo and Liu Duo did not speak as they remained mad at each other. Ye Ling’s advice had fallen on deaf ears, so he let them be. Everything would be normal by the end of the year. After all, they were husband and wife.

“Liu, Magistrate Li’s daughter is here to see you again,” A man approached and said to Ye Liu, who was drinking water.
Ye Liu glanced at the woman, ignored her, drank more water, and got back to work.
The man saw his actions and joked, “Liu, you’re going to break Miss Li’s heart like this!”
“Geez, Wang Xiaoer, do you feel sorry for her? Why don’t you console her and take her home with you?” Ye Liu joked back.
Magistrate Li’s daughter had not been able to forget Ye Liu since the last time she had seen him on the street. She would look for him whenever he came to town to work, and he felt particularly annoyed by this!
The man joked, “I would love to, but she doesn’t fancy me!” and pretended to be disappointed as he shook his head.
Ye Liu nodded at him and said in a serious manner, “Not surprising. You do look quite ugly, but don’t give up just yet.”
The man heard that and taunted back, “Damn it, Liu. This hurts, bro. I know I’m not as handsome as you are, but I’m not that ugly!”
He was at least tall, strong, and average-looking. How was he ugly?
“Haha…” Ye Liu laughed heartily.
At that moment, Miss Li stopped not far from Ye Liu. She said delicately, “Brother Liu… are you busy?”
Ye Liu turned around and said solemnly, “Well, I’m sure you can see that. Do you still have to ask? Miss Li, it’s best if you stay far away from here. Won’t want you to get injured. We can’t bear responsibility for that!”
Li Waner blatantly disregarded Ye Liu’s obvious alienation.
“I’ll be careful. I just want to see you,” Li Waner said gently. She loved looking at him, as she found him quite handsome. He was the best looking man she had ever seen.
Li Waner was sixteen years old, and she was not married but currently engaged. From the moment she first saw Ye Liu, she had not been able to forget him.
