Chapter 930: It’s All Up To Chance!
If the four could hear San Danzi’s thoughts, they would say, who do you think you are? Have you met everyone?
In the village.
Ye Mo and Li Wazi were taking their bullock-cart to purchase tomatoes from neighboring villages. They chatted along the way.
“Mo, do you think I should hurry up and have a second baby?”
Ever since Li Wazi had found out Liu Duo was pregnant with more than one baby, he was really envious of Ye Mo!
Ye Mo was evidently delighted to hear that.
He might bee a father later than Li Wazi, but he would have more children than his friend.
“Little Huzi’s not even a year old, what’s the rush? Do you think Sister Lian can get pregnant just because you want her to?”
These things were all up to chance!
Smugly, he thought, even if your wife gets pregnant really quickly after this, you still can’t catch up with us. We would probably just end in a tie!
Li Wazi understood that too, so he stopped mentioning it. Otherwise, Ye Mo’s pride would be inflated even more.
Seeing him speechless, Ye Mo talked some more in his singsong mood. “Look, Li Wazi, I’m going to be a father soon, but I have no experience with babies. Can you perhaps lend me Little Huzi for a few days?”
Li Wazi’s jaw twitched at the idea.
It was the first time he’d heard ‘lend’ and ‘baby’ in the same scenario!
“See, your mother can care for Little Huzi at night, but in my household, we are all guys. We don’t have any elder women. Even though Aunt Ye said she’d help, she’s old and we don’t want her to overwork herself, and we certainly don’t want our wife’s mother to do us a favor!”
Ye Mo did not mind Liu Ran going off to inform his parents about Liu Duo’s pregnancy, but that was quite a different matter. He did not want to get in touch with them too often.
He might have said he wanted to refrain from contacting them, but if the couple needed help, he would still offer what he could.
He was similar to Liu Duo in this manner. He had a sharp tongue, but deep down he meant well!
Li Wazi could empathize with his friend after listening to his elaboration.
“Alright then. We won’t bring Little Huzi back with us tonight. We’ll leave him entirely in your care.”
“No problem! I promise we’ll care for him just fine.”
Ye Mo got excited just thinking about it. He even wanted the sky to darken soon, so that he could start caring for the baby.
He believed he would do a good job!
By noon, the two had arranged their collection of tomatoes in baskets and loaded them onto the cart before returning home.
As they approached the bamboo forest, they saw Li Chunmei, whom they had not seen in a long while, lingering by the entrance.
“Mo, isn’t that Chunmei?” Li Wazi glanced at him.
Ye Mo was not blind. He could see who she was. Frivolously, he said, “Ignore her!”
Ever since the woman had tricked Ye Ling, Ye Mo hated her even more!
He had clearly rejected her time and time again, but she was persistent and had even executed devious plans to get to him. How horrible!
“Mo.”
Li Chunmei’s bitter-looking face lit up when she saw the cart.
Ye Mo did not even want to look at her. Li Wazi reacted the same way.
He did not pause for a moment as the cart directly entered the bamboo grove.
“Mo, I need to tell you something, won’t you listen to me?”
Li Chunmei lifted her feet and began to chase the cart, hoping Ye Mo would stop and listen to her.
“Get lost!” said Ye Mo ungracefully. He had nothing more to say to her.
