Chapter 488: Do You Have To Be Like This?

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

It was as though they both knew that Liu Duo didn’t want the quarrel to wake Little Huzi so, despite Grandmother Liu’s resistance and cursing, they dragged her out of the bamboo forest and left her by the road.

“Crazy old hag, if you come back to haunt us again, don’t think I won’t go straight to your house and cripple that son of yours. Then your grandson would have someone to look up to!”

Ye Mo roared at her fiercely.

Ye Liu didn’t want to bother. He told Ye Mo, “Mo, let’s just go.”

Ye Mo nodded and followed his brother. A few steps later he turned back and berated her some more, “Old hag, I dare you to try me!”

Then he caught up with Ye Liu again. The two of them walked back home.

As Grandmother Liu watched them go, rage and frustration took turns occupying her mind.

She was mad that Liu Duo would do something like this to her, and she was frustrated just thinking about Liu Quanyan’s condition.

She got up, wobbling. She thought about going back to engage with Liu Duo, but Ye Mo’s last words lingered in her mind. She felt scared. She could tell from his eyes that he wasn’t bluffing!

And so she could only make her way back home. Somehow she actually seemed pitiful.

Back home, Liu Qing hobbled to meet her, “Grandmother, did you get the money? We have to get the doctor to treat Dad’s injury.”

His waist was twisted, and that was quite a big deal. He wouldn’t be able to do heavy work in the future, and that meant the family’s livelihood would depend on him?

He didn’t want to do farm work. It was hot and tiring…

There were still some traces of tears on Grandmother Liu’s wrinkly face, as she shook her head helplessly and said, “No.”

She was at a loss. So many things had happened in a few months’ time. Her youngest son had moved out, and they weren’t told exactly where he had gone!

Her eldest grandson had become a cripple, and now her eldest son had twisted his waist at work. How had an old woman like herself gotten so unlucky?

When he heard that they she hadn’t gotten any money, Liu Qing furrowed his brows. He hated Liu Duo for being so heartless.

She wasn’t willing to pay, and that was how he had ended up with a crippled leg. She still wasn’t willing to pay, so if they couldn’t take his father to see the doctor in time, he could never work again. How were these not done on purpose to push them up the wall?

She was not poor. She had a lot of money, so why was she so selfish?

Liu Qing’s face darkened the more he thought about it. Liu Duo seemed to be dreadfully evil in his mind.

“Grandmother, why don’t we pay the doctor by credit and let him take a look at Dad? It won’t be good to let it drag on,” he suggested as he glanced at Liu Quanyan’s room.

Even though credit payment was next to impossible, they had to try.

Grandmother Liu nodded, “You go then. I’ll stay here to look after your father.”

She sat helplessly on a stool and sighed.

On the other side of the village, Liu Duo, who had completely ignored whatever had just happened, continued to manage the accounts while taking care of Little Huzi.

A few days passed just like that. Dongfang Ming did not come to visit Liu Duo again, and naturally, Liu Duo never thought about it.

The day arrived to fetch Liu Ran home from school. Liu Duo brought an umbrella with her and went out after she had eaten lunch and taken a nap.

By the time she arrived at the schoolhouse, only a few people were left packing their belongings. Most of the students had gone back home.

Liu Duo no longer arrived as early as she had before, because she didn’t want to grant Ye Xuan the luxury of spending more time with her. Whenever she arrived early, Ye Xuan would try to chat her up, even though she almost never cared.

But he found enjoyment in this and never got tired of it!
