Chapter 289: Who Was Looking For Her At This Hour?

“Yes, sure. It only takes a little bit more time,” she nodded.

“We can employ a few more people, since Yang and Mo have to work on the farm, and it’s not enough, even with Ling, Aunt Li, and Sister Li combined. What do you think?

He had put some thought into this. After all he and Li Wazi had to go to nearby villages to buy shoots and then head to town to sell them afterwards, so they had little time to help around the house.

Liu Duo giggled at his statement, “Boss Ye, you don’t have to tell me this. It’s all up to you. I’m only a little accountant, so how would I dare to say no? Hehe…”

She was willing to let him do as he pleased. She would support him regardless!

Ye Liu playfully pinched her nose after she joked with him, “Little Duo, don’t make me teach you a lesson for being naughty.”

Call him ‘Boss Ye’? How much more mischievous could she get?

Liu Duo fondly held his hand, “I dare you!”

“Hey! You already called me Boss Ye, so how dare you talk back to me, little accountant? Do you still want to work? Hmm…” Ye Liu raised a brow as he pretended to be angry at her.

She kept her playful thoughts to herself. Oh dear, he was up to no good again, playing the boss this time!

Yet she played along, “Boss, my mistake. I’ll never talk back to you again. Please don’t fire me…”

Pffft, Ye Liu was tickled by her act. He laughed, “Do your work nicely, be obedient, and I won’t fire you. In fact, I’ll give you a raise!”

Ye Liu adopted the mannerisms of a boss and patted her on the shoulder before he rose to go process the bamboo shoots.

Liu Duo rolled her eyes. Why did she feel like she really was working for him?

In the evening, right when Liu Duo and the men were about to dine, there was a knock at the door. Hei Xiaomeng ran over to the yard and barked non-stop.

Li Wazi went to open it, only to come face to face with Liu Quanfu’s gloomy face. “Who are you looking for?”

He wasn’t carrying a basket, so he obviously wasn’t there to sell bamboo shoots.

Recently Li Wazi and his family had started eating lunch and dinner at Liu Duo’s house. They didn’t go home.

Liu Quanfu was slightly stunned to see that the person who opened the door wasn’t one of his brothers. He said, “I’m here to see Duo Er.”

Duo Er? Sister-in-law? Li Wazi instructed Hei Xiaomeng to stop barking before inviting the guest inside. He also shouted for Liu Duo, “Sister Liu Duo, someone wants to see you.”

She heard his voice and went out to check. Ye Liu and Ye Mo followed.

Who was looking for her at this hour?

Liu Quanfu went up to her anxiously, “Duo Er, your mother and Ran Er left home several days ago. Did they come here? I can’t find them anywhere.”

Ye Liu furrowed his brow. It seemed that Liu Liushi and her son hadn’t returned home?

“They didn’t come here, I don’t know where they are, and you’ve come to the wrong place!” Liu Duo furrowed her brow.

She gave it some thought, “You should look for them in town!”

She remembered Ye Liu telling her that afternoon, that he had seen them in town.

“But Little Yun didn’t have money with her,” Liu Quanfu was increasingly worried. Look for them in town?

All these years, all the family’s money was kept by Grandmother Liu. How could they have gotten their hands on it?

She had said all that needed to be said, so with nothing more to add, Liu Duo returned to her meal.

“This morning, your old hag told us when she came here acting all crazy. The person you’re looking for isn’t here. Didn’t she tell you?” Ye Mo was irritated at the fact that they had come to ask again!

What happened to cutting off all communication? What was going on now?
