Chapter 356: Want Me To Compensate? Dream On
Liu Liushi took a piece of cloth and unwillingly wiped his sweat away. Liu Quanfu sat aside and said meekly, “Not yet.”
He thought that Grandmother Liu wouldn’t get a single coin from Liu Duo. She was no longer the Liu Duo they had once known. Even he, as her father, was a little frightened.
Also, why should she pay up?
After wiping away the sweat, Liu Liushi sat aside, muttering to herself, or was she speaking to Liu Qing? “Duo Er won’t pay. She’s already given eight hundred taels, so why would she give more? Even if she hasn’t given the money, she won’t start now!”
Liu Qing heard that and furrowed his brow unhappily, “Aunt, how can you say that? This is an emergency now. Don’t you see my leg is injured? The Liu family blood runs in her body, and I’m her big brother! If she doesn’t give us the money, then let her bleed out for us!”
“Qing Er, you…” Liu Liushi furrowed her brow. How could he speak so deviously?
Bleed out for us? Liu Duo wouldn’t be alive anymore. That would be taking her life!
Liu Qing said disapprovingly, “What about me? Have I misspoken? Don’t think, just because she denies it, that she’s no longer related to us. She has our blood, so she’ll always be our family!”
Liu Liushi got so mad that she had no words to retort his obnoxious statement.
She tossed the piece of cloth away and left the room. She didn’t want to take care of him anymore!
Liu Quanfu furrowed his brow even deeper. He ignored Liu Qing and just stared idly at a random spot.
Grandmother Liu and Liu Quanyan were making a scene at the village chief’s house. They begged him to come with them to Liu Duo’s house to talk things over and make demands for medical compensation.
“Come out, you wretched girl! You kicked my son, and now you’re pretending nothing happened? And my ear! It’s gone deaf because of you!” Grandmother Liu yelled non-stop outside.
The village chief and Liu Quanfu followed and arrived at Liu Duo’s courtyard.
Liu Duo had just paid the villagers when she heard the noise, so she went to the yard.
She saw that the village head had been dragged into this. A smile curled on her lips as she raised her brows.
Oh, bothering the village head again and demanding that I compensate? Dream on…
Liu Ran went out too when he heard the scolding. He looked down from the balcony and ran downstairs.
Ye Ling and the other men stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
“Welcome to my humble abode, dear chief. What brings you here?” Liu Duo politely invited him to take a seat.
Ye Ling was quite a good host. He immediately poured the chief some water and served him fresh fruit.
Grandmother Liu and Liu Quanyan realized that Liu Duo was ignoring them again and, in an effort to seek attention, said, “Look at that, chief! This wretched girl won’t even take notice of us! Me, her grandmother! And her uncle over here! She won’t even invite us in!”
“She kicked her uncle Quanyan, and now he’s still in pain. Seek justice for us, chief, and ask her to compensate. We need the money to go see a doctor. My ear needs to be looked at too!”
Liu Duo hadn’t even opened her mouth to speak when Liu Ran said, “Chief, they were looking for trouble, sir. They wanted to beat up my sister. She had to do something.”
What he meant was that Liu Duo was merely defending herself. They had started everything!
Ye Ling furrowed his brow. Who would have thought this would happen to them on their way home? “Chief, our Duo Er would never do such a senseless thing like getting into fights!”
What he meant was that, for Liu Duo to get physical, she must have had her reasons!
Aunt Li also furrowed her brow. She did not take kindly to Grandmother Liu as she shot her a look, “This is the first time I have ever heard someone claim to be the grandmother or uncle after severing family ties. It makes no sense!”
