Chapter 648: How Rude And Disrespectful!

“Come in with us. It’ll be lunchtime soon, your boss won’t be leaving,” Ye Liu said to him.

His brothers would definitely allow Dongfang Ming to stay for lunch. If the coachman waited here, wouldn’t he starve?

The coachman hesitated. Ye Liu had to call out to him a few more times before he was willing to step into the yard.

They entered to find Liu Duo and Dongfang Ming having a friendly chat. Ye Mo’s temper built up instantly.

“Wife, we’ve returned! Get us some water quick! We’re thirsty!”

Liu Duo, already used to his manner of speech, got up to get water for them.

Ye Liu greeted Dongfang Ming with a smile and a nod.

Ye Ling was not with them because he was preparing food in the kitchen.

The coachman felt like he was making a mistake and did not dare to look straight at Dongfang Ming. He helped the brothers unload the tomatoes from the bullock-cart.

“Mo, you always complain about the heat or being thirsty when you come back. What’s your deal?” Liu Duo said as she served him water.

She did not regard serving them water as a chore. Strangely, it was always he who demanded it. Never once did Ye Liu or Li Wazi ask it of her.

“Does it tire you to get water for your husband? Loudmouth…” Ye Mo drank his water in one gulp.

Hey! What’s with him? Did he swallow dynamite? How rude and disrespectful!

She rolled her eyes at him and could not care less. Then she poured water for Ye Liu, Li Wazi, and the coachman.

Ye Liu also finished his in one gulp and said to her playfully, “Little Duo is so thoughtful. You’re making me love you even more. I haven’t seen you all day and I missed you so much.”

Liu Duo blushed slightly at his declaration of love but rolled her eyes nonetheless. Bullocks!

“Little Duo, you collected so many tomatoes this morning?” Ye Liu passed her the bowl and commented when he saw the tomatoes stacked in a corner.

“Those are from Brother Su who got them from nearby villages. We have about two hundred jin here.”

“Then we can ask the women that Aunt Li enlisted to come help out, although we’ll need to get another stove.”

Liu Duo nodded in agreement with him. Based on their current purchase volume and only one working stove, the tomatoes would rot if left alone and not processed in time. They also did not have enough manpower.

Next, Ye Liu looked back at Dongfang Ming and grinned. “Brother Dongfang, what brings you here? I haven’t seen you in town over the past few days, how are you?”

“I’m doing fine. I wanted to learn drawing from Liu Duo, so I came here asking for her guidance. I apologize for the interruption,” he said slowly as he fanned himself as usual, giving a polite smile.

Ye Mo peered at Dongfang Ming and asked an enigmatic question: “Mr. Dongfang, you’ve been here for more than ten days now, haven’t you? Don’t you have business to take care of in the capital?”

In other words, why haven’t you left?

Liu Duo glared at him. Why did he need to know when the man would return to the capital?

Ye Liu added onto the question jokingly, “Brother Dongfang, what my brother meant was, you have been here for so long. He worries that your business in the capital might require you to make big decisions and that profits might be affected if you delay those matters for too long.”

Since he could stay here for so much time, obviously he had made proper arrangements. He did not have to worry about trivialities.

Hence why Ye Liu phrased his words like that.

Dongfang Ming grinned again. He folded his fan and said, “My subordinates have it under control. I pay them well for their work. Thank you, Brother Ye, but you don’t have to worry about that.”

Of course, he knew what Ye Mo meant, but he did not think deeper into it. He could tell Ye Mo did not like him very much.
