Chapter 28: Hardliner

Liu Duo and Ye Ling stared blankly at each other, unable to smell anything.

“Gossipers have foul mouths, can’t you smell them?” Ye Liu looked on in disgust.

Oh! The two of them suddenly realized what he was talking about.

Hearing him dare to insult their mouths, the women instantly burst into a rage.

A pudgy woman spoke up: “Hmph! Second child, you have some nerve! What’s wrong in saying your wife tried to run?”

“If I recall, you even asked our husbands to help.”

“That’s right…”

The women bombarded Ye Liu. The bachelorettes looked at him like some kind of fool.

Looking at the group of women, he spoke up in a calm manner: “I must say, with how foul your mouths are, it’s a miracle your husbands can stay in the same bed at night.”

“Pfft!” Liu Duo was curled up like a shrimp from laughter.

Ye Ling was embarrassed, how can his second brother talk to women in such a way?

The women were gobsmacked. They couldn’t imagine a man talking to them this way…

“Shameless fool!”

“Don’t be jealous just because you had to buy a wife- an underaged one at that!”

“Four brothers bedding one wife. Disgusting!”

“What a cheap whore.”

***

Normal wives and commercial brides naturally had differences. Since commercial brides didn’t generally have the same love and support of their husbands, normal wives disdained them.

Ye Liu’s face turned grim. He was about to talk back until Liu Duo stood up in anger: “What a bunch of uncultured women. I’d like to know, when did it become illegal to have four husbands?”

“What’s more, I’ve lived a life of bliss day in and day out. Can you say that? You can only wish you had four men to call your own. It’s too bad, though. Men don’t want old laundry.”

“…”

Silence prevailed. There was no following Liu Duo’s censure.

Ye Ling was stunned, he’d never seen her act like this. Completely captivated, he whistled and shot her a thumbs up.

While this wasn’t a first for Ye Liu, still caught him off guard. This hardliner wife of his was nothing compared to last time.

The women carried on washing their clothes, their faces deathly pale.

Liu Duo carried on about her business. Seeing she wasn’t to be walked over, the women quickened their washing and fled the scene.

“Just you wait, Xiao Duo. We’ll show you what bliss is… every night!” Ye Liu sincerely said.
