<h4>Chapter 968: Don’t Get Your Feathers In A Bunch</h4>


    “The day after tomorrow then,” Ye Liu said to Liu Ran. “I have to head to town tomorrow.”


    Liu Liushi had not given him an answer, otherwise they would leave tomorrow.


    Aunt Li did not think much about it. She presumed they would be bringing Liu Liushi to their house tomorrow.


    The men had not reported the details of what they did in town anyway!


    After Liu Ran heard that, the joy on his face lessened a lot. He had been quite troubled by it.


    After lunch, while Liu Ran was revising his studies in his room on the second floor, the others along with Liu Duo and Aunt Li gathered round to discuss their next step.


    “If this girl’s mother doesn’t want toe, you can actually count on us to look after the house,” Aunt Li said, slightly frowning.


    Like Liu Ran, she also wondered why Liu Liushi had yet to agree.


    It was a good opportunity to amend the rtionship after all!


    Liu Duo had no special feelings when she heard the news, other than finding it a little unexpected.


    Ye Yang was unreadable, while Ye Ling was perplexed by the whole thing!


    Why hadn’t she agreed?


    Aunt Ye spoke then. “Haven’t the girl’s parents branched out from the family? They didn’t get anything, and now they’re making a living in town, aren’t they? It’s not easy to find stable, permanent jobs, so if they decide not toe, don’t get your feathers in a bunch.”


    She figured it was a given for them to have their own ns. Their rtionship with Liu Duo and this family had been rocky, to say the least.


    Aunt Li agreed with her and nodded, wondering why she had not thought about that.


    Unwilling to talk about this any longer, Ye Mo changed the topic. “Mother, when we’re out, you have to keep an eye on that ck fuzzball. Don’t let it run out and cause trouble during the day.”


    He could not guarantee whether the old hag from the other Ye household woulde over and raise havoc while they were away!


    “Rx, I’ll watch over him.” Aunt Li eyed at the dog sitting close by and smiled. “Xiaomeng’s a good dog. It knows it’s not allowed outside during the day.”


    Hei Xiaomeng only moved around in the front yard and backyard during the day, because Ye Mo had trained her after many beatings not to leave the house before sundown. He had even made a fence, but it was practically useless.


    Yet the dog was obedient and never crossed over it!


    They discussed other matters as well, like how they should take care of themselves while they were away from home, especially now that Liu Duo was pregnant and whatnot.


    Aunt Ye and Aunt Li could go on and on, so much so that Liu Duo surrendered and retreated to her room to nap.


    When she reached the second floor, she went to check on Liu Ran in his room.


    She found Liu Ran reading a book too close to his face. She had to remind him, “Ran Er, don’t hold it too close to your face, alright?”


    There were no high-end items like spectacles here. What if he became short-sighted at such a young age.


    Liu Ran looked sideways at her. “Oh, Sis. Aren’t you napping today?”


    At this time of day, his sister would usually be napping upstairs.


    “I’m going to. We’re leaving for the capital in two days, so before that, I want to have a nice talk with you.”


    Liu Duo grinned as she walked closer, then grabbed a chair and sat down next to him.


    “Ran Er, will you me us for not bringing you along?”


    She figured he would not think like that, but she had to ask.
