Ye Mo hummed at Ye Liu's words. "Liu, don't waste your breath or your time on her! We're leaving."

He really did not want to stay here a second longer. He wanted to get home to his wife quickly.

Li Wazi walked beside Ye Yang. He, too, chimed in, "That's right! Liu, let's go home. They're waiting for us to start dinner."

It was already a few hours past the time they usually got home.

"I know that." Ye Liu tossed the broom aside and spoke to her one last time. "You old bag of bones, best not be stirring up trouble, got it? It's going to be your loss anyway. Look at the audience outside your house. Don't think about scamming money out from us."

If she beat him like that again, he would not let her off this easily.

Grandmother Ye might be fuming with rage then, but she knew better. She knew she could not win in a physical fight against the three men in their prime, so she went for a verbal attack instead.

"Don't think you can get away with this just because I was unable to stop you! I won't forget what happened today! Look what you did to my Xuan Er. He's barely conscious! See you in court, just you wait…"

The old woman rambled on. The four men pretended they did not hear anything as they marched out of the courtyard.

The surrounding onlookers immediately dispersed to make way for them. The chatter died down.

It was only after they left in the bullock-cart that the discussion heated up again. The particularly curious ones even entered the yard to check on Ye Xuan…

Ye Ling headed towards the Ye family courtyard after he left the house. He had a feeling his brothers would be there.

Halfway there, he saw the few men on the bullock-cart, which was swaying here and there, as they headed this way.

"Yang, Liu, Mo, Brother Li," Ye Ling called out to them.

What he really wanted to know now was whether that scumbag Ye Xuan had been beaten to a pulp. He must have gotten tired of living, assaulting their wife like that!

Ye Liu, holding the reins, stopped the cart next to Ye Ling. "Get in, Ling. Let's go home."

"Liu, did you beat that bratty Ye Xuan up real good?" Ye Ling asked.

He looked around at the other men too.

Ever since leaving that place, Ye Mo's anger had not subsided. Furiously, he said, "I even wanted to beat him to death!"

In his opinion, just a regular beating was too light a punishment! If he had not had his Liu Duo and Ye Ling to consider, he really could have ended the scum's life.

Ye Ling could confirm that Ye Xuan had definitely suffered a terrible beating, even if he did not die from it! The fire in his heart reduced significantly.

When they got home, the women had finished their lunch and were cleaning the table.

"Oh, you're finally back. Go get a quick wash and get ready to eat. I've kept the food warm for you." Aunt Li welcomed them home tenderly, as though she was the mother of the household, worried they might be starving.

The four husbands were heartbroken too, when they noticed what little puffiness remained in their wife's eyes. They knew she must have cried bitter tears. Ye Xuan's punishment might have been too light.

Lao Liu helped unload the purchased tomatoes. He said, "You guys eat. I'll handle this."

But the men did not hurry to the food. Instead, they unloaded all the tomatoes before washing up for lunch.

Liu Duo sat nearby quietly, watching them eat. The men, all in sync, did not mention the incident, as they quickly ate their food.

"Slow down, you guys! What's the rush? No one's fighting for your share." Liu Duo found their actions somewhat hilarious.
