After she finished with her business in the outhouse, she changed the cloth. She took the dirty one and then washed it and hung it out to dry. Only then did she go chat with Qin Fang.
“Sister Fang, I see you’ve gotten thinner. Busy recently?” Liu Duo sat on her special rocking chair and started to rock back and forth.
Qin Fang, who was full of smiles, nodded to confirm as much. There was no way she wouldn’t be busy and get thin since she had to rush around at a couple of different shops. It wasn’t like she was made of steel. “That’s just the way it is. I’ve also specifically tried to find the time to see you today.”
“I am overwhelmed by your favor! Sorry to trouble you for having to go out of your way to see me, hehe…”
Ye Liu looked at the naughty Liu Duo and laughed, “Sister Fang, I don’t think it’s only because you want to come to see our Little Duo, right?”
Liu Duo would, of course, know this to be the case as well. As the saying goes, one doesn’t visit a temple without a cause! They were just normal business partners, and they weren’t so close that they would visit each other.
Qin Fang saw Ye Liu being so frank so she decided not to hide it. She said with a smile on her face, “That is correct. I am here to ask Liu Duo for some help. And the other reason is I really did want to come to see Sister Duo.”
Both Liu Duo and Ye Liu raised their eyebrows when they heard her. Help? What kind of help could she give?
Ye Yang and the other two also looked over, their ears perked up to listen.
“Sister Fang, you must be making a joke. Our Little Duo only knows how to draw. She doesn’t really know how to do anything else besides that.” Ye Liu said with a smile.
He felt there was nothing good about her coming to look for Liu Duo for help! Liu Duo was only a common village person. What kind of help could she give?
Liu Duo puckered her lips when she heard what he said. What did he mean by ‘doesn’t really know how to do anything else’? She had tons of talents. She just didn’t want to show them, because she was afraid she might frighten them!
Moreover, she didn’t have any ambitious goals. She just wanted to live a sweet, normal, and healthy life with her four husbands and have a few kids in the future. Otherwise, her fame might spread far and wide, making everyone on earth know who Liu Duo was!
Qin Fang also understood what Ye Liu meant. She smiled and said, “It’s nothing really. It’s just that the headquarters wants a more unique doll, so I’m here to ask Liu Duo to draw a few designs.”
So it was about this?
Ye Yang and the others continued with their work again. Liu Duo was the only one who could help with this. Moreover, she could earn quite a bit of profit.
However, Ye Liu raised his eyebrows and didn’t really believe her. He usually went to the store to get the dividends and to deliver the designs, so why didn’t she just tell him then?
“And another thing, our boss wants to invite Sister Duo to take a trip to the capital, since our headquarters are located in the capital.”
Ye Liu’s mind temporarily went blank. “Ask Little Duo to go to the capital?”
Ye Yang and the other two looked over again. Go to the capital? They hadn’t even left Pingning Town before, much less gone to the capital? Moreover, it would be Liu Duo who would be going, not them.
“She can help you with the designs, but as for going to the capital, Little Duo won’t be going. After all, it is too far.” Ye Liu replied on Liu Duo’s behalf and rejected her.
Inviting Liu Duo on a trip? It didn’t matter whether or not the boss was a man or woman, Ye Liu wouldn’t agree to Liu Duo going.
When Qin Fang heard this, she instead looked at Liu Duo and waited for her response, since she still hadn’t said anything. Was she willing to go?
Liu Duo sat on the rocking chair and swayed about leisurely. “Go to the capital? Let me think about it for a while. After all, a round trip there is quite far. It would take at least a month.”
She actually wanted to go. After all, she still hadn’t properly explored this ancient world yet. Pingning town was so small that there weren’t a lot of places to visit.
But there weren’t any cars there and the public transportation was quite lacking. Horse carriages were too slow, and taking them for too long was uncomfortable.
Within moments, Liu Duo had already made her decision.
