Chapter 952 - You Call Me Foolish? Yang, You’re The One That’s Dull!

Upon hearing his jokes, Ye Yang shot Ye Liu a look, but averted his gaze very soon to proceed with his work.

“Foolish!”

In his mind, Ye Liu was exceptional in every way, but his one downfall was his endless, tiresome jokes!

“Ya-”

Ye Liu opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Yang cut him short.

“You free?”

Ye Yang handed him the broom he had been using. “Get to work!”

He did not care that Ye Liu already had one in hand and gave the one he had to his brother anyway. Then, without pausing, he strode off.

He did not want to be disturbed by Ye Liu’s unnerving chatter!

Am I…being rejected? Ye Liu thought as he watched his brother go.

“You call me foolish? Yang, you’re the once that’s dull!”

He flung his smooth, black hair about in one swift motion before he began to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.

Ye Yang went to take Hei Xiaomeng’s comb to give the dog a good grooming session.

After breakfast was ready, Ye Ling, as usual, kept Liu Duo’s serving warm for her. Then, the four brothers sat down to have their meal.

By the time they were almost done, Li Wazi’s family arrived.

“Aunt Li, I see you all are active as always,” Ye Liu greeted them with a smile.

They always came for work on time, right when the brothers were about to do the dishes.

“How can we not be? The more tomato sauce we produce, the more money we make!” Aunt Li smiled happily.

She would not be slighted when it came to earning money.

She wanted more income, firstly because she wanted to improve their housing environment, and secondly because she wanted to save money to be used as her grandson’s dowry!

Ye Liu nodded in agreement. After all, the reason he worked so hard every day was to earn a living.

“Aunt Li, don’t get to work yet. We’ve got something to tell you, and we need your help,” Ye Liu said.

The brothers had finished their food by then. Ye Mo and Ye Ling took the dishes and utensils to wash them by the well.

He wanted to talk about it while they still had time.

Ye Yang moved a bench over and invited them to sit.

“Yang, Liu, go on, then. We’re listening,” Li Wazi frankly replied to him.

Ye Yang sat quietly and calmly on one side, with no intention to speak, almost as though he was invisible.

Ye Liu knew his brother was not particularly talkative. He would not be the one doing the talking.

He opened his mouth and got straight to the point. “It’s like this. We’re planning to visit the capital for a while, so we’ve stopped our business in the meantime. The tomatoes’ growing season is coming to an end anyway.

“This trip… could take a few months, going there and back. So, we’d like you to help us take care of the crops on the farm and paddy field. Of course, it won’t be for free.”

Aunt Li’s family was surprised to hear that their small business had come to an abrupt end.

Now that they thought about it, the tomato season was indeed ending. It made sense to stop their business.

But… paying them to take care of their crops? Were the Ye brothers taking them as outsiders?

Aunt Li waved her hand. “Liu, don’t say that! Since you’re going to the capital, we’re more than happy to look after your land, but money shouldn’t come into it. We don’t need to be paid. Please accept that, otherwise, we won’t help you with this favor.”
