"Wife?" Ye Zi’an looked at her with so confusion, but seeing that her complexion was still normal, he approached her.
Yang Chuxia wrapped her arms around his neck, pushed him onto the long bench, and then said, "Co on, recite a passage from the Three Character Classic for ."
"Are you sure?" Ye Zi’an gave her a sowhat sinister glance.
"Certain." Let’s test how silly or not by testing mory first.
So, Brother An recited a passage about humans being inherently good at birth.
After he finished, Yang Chuxia continued, "Now recite a section from The Analects for , and afterwards, from The Great Learning and the Doctrine of the an."
When Ye Zi’an had finished reciting, Yang Chuxia slapped him on the head.
"Look at you, not stupid at all—are you really so childish that you were going to tattle to mother?"
Ye Zi’an imdiately didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; it seed his wife was testing whether he was indeed foolish.
"Hmph, mother said if you bully , she’ll stand up for ! You just now made my waist turn blue with your pinching," Ye Zi’an continued to pretend.
"Tsch, I clearly didn’t even use any strength just now," she replied, then her eyes rolled again, "But since you’re going to tattle anyway, I might as well bully you a bit more, and you can go and tattle about it all together."
While talking, she hooked her hand and lifted Ye Zi’an’s chin, then kissed him squarely, again and again.
"I’ve finished bullying you. Off you go to mum, like a weaned child running to her at the first sign of trouble," she said.
"Wife, why don’t you bully so more?" An, with puppy eyes, stared at her slightly reddened lips, "It’s okay if I go and tattle later."
"Pff..." Yang Chuxia nearly burst into laughter, "Our son is right there."
"They’re still young!"
"Go, go, go, go read to the child." Having laughed enough, Yang Chuxia pushed An away. Ye Zi’an inwardly scoffed, now you’re crossing the river and tearing down the bridge; just wait and see how I’ll deal with you later.
"Lele, did you see that? Your dad is so pitiful, bullied by your mom again." Seeing that Yang Chuxia was about to leave, Ye Zi’an spoke mournfully to Lele.
Yang Chuxia just smiled and shook her head; this man could be ridiculously funny sotis.

At the Li Family, Auntie Li stewed over the matter all night like flipping pancakes, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Uncle Li asked her what was wrong but she wouldn’t say.
After eating breakfast the next morning, instead of doing anything else, she hurriedly made her way to Land Officer Yang’s house. Mrs. Land Officer saw her coming and wasn’t in a good mood; furthermore, Land Officer Yang was still in the inner room at this ti, having slept in because of his age and just gotten up.
Upon seeing her, Mrs. Land Officer said, "You might as well not ask; there’s no chance. Yesterday, my old man asked several branches of the family, and none were interested."
Auntie Li still didn’t believe it and insisted on waiting until Land Officer Yang ca out to ask him herself. Mrs. Land Officer, though annoyed, didn’t stop her.
When Land Officer Yang ca out and she heard that the third branch of the family hadn’t given a response yet, her eyes lit up, and she wanted Land Officer Yang to help ask again.
But Land Officer Yang was unwilling to go again; after what Ms. Hong had said the day before, he felt like a fool even considering it. Who does that—asking people whether they want to pick up a cuckold’s hat again?
"If you really want to ask, you can go yourself; I certainly won’t be asking," said Land Officer Yang, along with repeating what the fourth branch had said.
Auntie Li, having listened, said, "I’ll ask myself then if I have to," huffing out of Land Officer Yang’s house to head towards the third branch of the Yang family.
anwhile, at the Li house, Ms. Ye was also discussing this matter with Yang Lichun.
