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 wouldnt 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 wont pay. Shes already given eight hundred taels, so why would she give more? Even if she hasnt given the money, she wont start now!

Liu Qing heard that and furrowed his brow unhappily, Aunt, how can you say that? This is an emergency now. Dont you see my leg is injured? The Liu family blood runs in her body, and Im her big brother! If she doesnt 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 wouldnt be alive anymore. That would be taking her life!

Liu Qing said disapprovingly, What about me? Have I misspoken? Dont think, just because she denies it, that shes no longer related to us. She has our blood, so shell 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 didnt 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 chiefs house. They begged him to come with them to Liu Duos house to talk things over and make demands for medical compensation.

Come out, you wretched girl! You kicked my son, and now youre pretending nothing happened? And my ear! Its gone deaf because of you! Grandmother Liu yelled non-stop outside.

The village chief and Liu Quanfu followed and arrived at Liu Duos 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 wont even take notice of us! Me, her grandmother! And her uncle over here! She wont even invite us in!

She kicked her uncle Quanyan, and now hes 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 hadnt 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!
