When the carriages arrived, Ye Yang, Ye Mo, and Ye Ling took one while Liu Duo, Ye Liu, and Dongfang Ming took the other.
Dongfang Ming’s carriage was driven by Ming Yan, while Ye Yang’s carriage was handled by another servant from the Dongfang manor.
In the carriage, Ye Ling touched the cushion under him and said, “Yang, Mo, the seat here is so soft and cozy. Let’s ask Brother Ming later where he got it. We should get one for ours.”
Ye Mo pouted and said in a slightly disgusted tone, “It’s nothing special, not quite as good as you say it is!”
He said that, but his hands never left the cushion.
Typical double-dealer!
Ye Yang was feeling around the softness of the cushion too. It was truly softer and cozier than the one in their carriage.
He glared at Mo who was clearly not telling the truth, then he nodded in acknowledgment at Ye Ling to show his agreement.
They could buy one for their journey home to Anping Town, so that their wife would have a less bumpy ride!
In the other carriage, Ye Liu, Liu Duo, and Dongfang Ming were having a much merrier time.
Dongfang Ming suddenly recalled something. He told Liu Duo, “Little Duo, since you’re here, let me pay you the dividends from the doll sales.
He intended to transfer the dividends from other branches besides Anping Town to her, but he had to delay his plans because of Wang Xiangyun!
Ye Liu’s gleeful eyes settled on his wife. If he could, he would worship the ground she walked on.
He could imagine the revenue must be many times more than what they got from the tailor shop in Anping Town.
His wife was a wonderful breadwinner. He was undoubtedly proud of her!
He also silently made a vow. His brothers and himself had to give their all too!
Otherwise, how would they be worthy of her?
Liu Duo never expected Dongfang Ming to mention business so suddenly. She replied, “Sure, you can pass it to me the day before we leave.”
She did not bother to ask about the sum of their share. She just knew it would be a lot.
When they arrived at the temple, which was flourishing with incense, the gang headed towards the stone steps.
Temples were mostly built on hillsides. For believers, every step they took to go there signified their sincerity towards the Buddha.
Liu Duo, who was two months pregnant and who had just experienced morning sickness, started to pant and sweat when she had not even walked far.
At this time of day, even with Ye Yang holding her umbrella while Ye Liu fanned her, she still felt really hot…
Ye Mo carried a kettle in hand, in case Liu Duo needed a drink.
Only Ye Ling was empty-handed, but he would take turns with Ye Liu to fan her.
Next to them, Dongfang Ming felt oddly envious as he watched the four brothers care for Liu Duo so thoughtfully.
Suddenly he had to urge to marry, so that he would have a woman he could care for.
“Let’s take a rest. We’re in no hurry,” Dongfang Ming said.
“Brother Ming’s right. Let’s stop for a while,” Ye Ling added. “Mo, get Duo Er some water to drink.”
The other three brothers naturally agreed.
