Liu Duo didn’t wait for Li Chunmei to say anything, she turned to the villager again and said, “I hope nobody talks about what happened here. After all, Ling fell down because he helped Li Chunmei out of the goodness of his heart. I am even worried about his body!”
Ye Yang looked around with an expressionless gaze and also said, “Keep your mouths shut, and everything will be fine!”
The villagers shivered unconsciously. They never interacted with Ye Yang in the first place and add the fact that he had a scar on his face, they would feel afraid just by looking at him.
Li Chunmei said with a red face, feeling embarrassed, “Ling indeed cannot be blamed for this. If I hadn’t asked him for help, this accident wouldn’t have happened. That’s why I have to ask the uncles here not to spread it around.”
The villagers all nodded when they heard her. It was only that woman who neither nodded nor said anything.
It was only now that Ye Ling finally felt relaxed. He was really afraid, since if Li Chunmei really asked him to take responsibility, he wouldn’t be able to push it away. A woman’s reputation wasn’t something that one could violate so easily.
Liu Duo saw she was behaving quite morally so she didn’t continue to talk about this. She looked at Ye Yang and said, “Yang, go and lead Ling away.”
After she finished speaking, she began taking the money and continued with what she hadn’t finished doing.
“Li Chunmei, this is the money for your tomatoes. Give it a count.” Liu Duo gave her the money.
Li Chunmei took it and put it into her purse without counting it. She said her goodbyes and left.
The woman, on the other hand, looked at Li Chunmei’s back and then immediately asked a villager who had just come to help her weigh her tomatoes. She left hurriedly after she received her money.
In response, Liu Duo cast a glance at that woman’s back.
“Mister, which family is that auntie from? I’ve never seen her before,” Liu Duo asked a villager.
She couldn’t help but feel that that woman was a bit strange. She couldn’t put her finger on what exactly about her was strange, but she just made her have a premonition.
The villager heard her and answered, “She’s Aunt Su from the Su family. Their house is very close to Chunmei’s.”
None of the villagers were unfamiliar with each other. They even know how many family members were in each family and the members of each family.
“Oh.” Liu Duo didn’t continue to ask. She just recorded down the transaction and gave them the money.
Ye Yang brought Ye Ling back to where he sat and took a few more looks at him before he continued to work. Ye Ling just spaced out while he stared at him.
Ye Xuan stood up and went over to sit beside him. He said, “Ling, what happened just now already passed so you shouldn’t think too much about it.”
Liu Ran had been writing just now so he didn’t see what happened. He frowned and also felt a bit worried in his heart.
Although he was young it didn’t mean he didn’t know the seriousness of it!
There were differences between a man and a woman and they shouldn’t touch each other so casually. Every child knew this, no matter how young.
Otherwise, that means they had to marry each other!
Ye Xuan caught Liu Ran glancing at them and he said, “Ran Er, what are you looking at us for? You should continue writing.”
Ye Ling heard him and regained his senses. He also said to Liu Ran, “Ran Er, you should focus on practicing your writing.”
He didn’t want his studies to be affected because of him.
He then picked up his brush and also got ready to practice writing. “I’m fine. Ye Xuan, you go over and guide Ran Er.”
He didn’t want to say anything at all right now. His mind was completely blank.
Ye Xuan heard what he said and just smiled and patted him on his shoulder. He then went back and sat beside Liu Ran.
After the villagers got their money and left, Liu Duo came over and sat beside Ye Ling.
“Ling, in the future, besides us, reject everyone who asks you for help!”
She didn’t want such a thing to happen again. Was it even an accident?
Now that she thought of it, she didn’t really believe that to be the case.
