Chapter 260 - Black, Ugly Ghost
Ye Ling helped to give them some meat too. He also liked the new members.
“Little Duo, Yang and I bought two acres of farm and three acres of paddy field from the village chief. We didn’t buy too many, because then we would be too busy,” Ye Liu told Liu Duo that they bought them the way they saw fit.
The vegetable plot they bought was fertile, and the paddy field was convenient when it came to storage and drainage.
Liu Duo nodded, acknowledging what Ye Liu said.
Ye Liu remarked, “The farm costs three taels of silver per acre, and the paddy field is more expensive by one tael, so the total is eighteen taels of silver.”
Liu Duo was a bit unused to Ye Liu’s serious look as he talked. Smiling, Liu Duo said, “It’s fine, Liuzi. You don’t have to explain how much you have spent. I trust you both.”
She was not the kind of woman who wanted to track every single coin that her husbands spent!
“Alright, since you’ve said that, then next time when we earn a profit, I can withhold some,” Ye Liu resumed his playfulness.
“Sure. Have it your way,” Liu Duo joked along with him.
This family, full of joy and laughter, was something Ye Ling had always wanted. Now the house was filled with such an atmosphere, and he rejoiced, as happy as could be.
After the meal, Ye Yang passed the contracts for the farm and paddy field to Liu Duo for safekeeping, “Liu Duo, for you.”
Liu Duo looked them over and placed them in the box where they stored their money before locking it, “Yang, are you used to living here, without hunting?”
She wanted to know, since he had given up hunting for her, so she should be concerned for his feelings.
“Slowly,” Ye Yang looked at her, eyes full of love and adoration, but his face remained expressionless.
For the sake of his wife, he would get used to this! He could change for her!
Liu Duo gave him a hug the instant she heard him say that, “Yang, you’re the best.”
He patted her head in response, “I have to be.”
Her impression of Ye Yang was that of a quiet man who only spoke when needed, and yet he’d always cherish her!
Downstairs, Ye Mo stared at Hei Xiaomeng, disgusted. The puppy seemed to feel that Ye Mo didn’t like it, so it would bark at him occasionally.
On the other hand, Ye Ling would call to it happily and brush its fur. Ye Liu was making a kennel for it, and he would call out to it every so often too. However, Bai Xiaojiao seemed to have been left alone in its cage.
Upstairs, Liu Duo could hear Hei Xiaomeng barking and found the place had become livelier. “Yang, let’s go downstairs. I want to check out Liuzi’s kennel.”
She held Ye Yang’s hand and went down with him.
When she arrived, she played around with Hei Xiaomeng while Ye Mo looked on with a sour face. He couldn’t even compete with a dog!
He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist as he referred to the puppy, “Why would you name such an ugly dog Hei Xiaomeng? It’s black and ugly, so Black Ugly Ghost would be more appropriate!”
“Speak if you want to, but can you not put your hands and legs on me?” Liu Duo shook about, “You are the black, ugly ghost! My Hei Xiaomeng is adorable. Why would you call it ugly?”
“Whatever. He’s ugly to me!” He just couldn’t see eye to eye with it. “I didn’t use my legs, though. See? Just the hands!” With that, he hugged tighter, just to show her that he only had his hands on her.
“It’s true, Little Duo. I don’t see Little Mo using his legs,” Ye Liu didn’t think it was a big deal, as he joined in to tease her.
