He didn’t want him to move out. If he moved out, there would be no one to do the farm work, and he wouldn’t be able to slack off.
Liu Quanfu sat there, with his head lowered, not saying anything. He listened to them as they blabbered away, but he didn’t take in a single word they said.
He really regretted not listening to Liu Liushi’s words. Where should he go to find them now? Where would they have gone?
Liu Quanfu only stood up after a long time. He walked to his room, his body trembling, having grown considerably older in a short amount of time.
“Mom, our family cannot split up. We only have a few people in our family. It’s not like we have a lot of brothers. What do you think?” Liu Quanyan said anxiously to Grandma Liu while looking at her with a serious gaze.
Grandma Liu nodded. “We definitely cannot split the family! That filthy wife of his incited Liu Quanfu to move away. I will definitely sort her out when she gets back!”
She returned to the house after she finished speaking.
Leaving only the father and son. They looked at each other and then also went back to the house.
As they spoke, Liu Liushi who had left with Liu Ran, was trying to find work in town. However, nobody wanted to hire her, because she was with a child. Those past few days, bit by bit, she had used up all the hundreds of wens she had saved up over the past twenty years.
“Mom, let’s go to big sister’s place.” Liu Ran looked at Liu Liushi with a face of longing.
He hadn’t seen Liu Duo in a long time, and he really missed her. Now that they had left that house, they could go find her.
When Liu Liushi, who was walking with Liu Ran on the street, heard him, she said with great difficulty, “Ran Er, we can’t go to Liu Duo’s place. Your sister is no longer related to us. We can’t go bother her. Understand?”
How was it possible that she didn’t want to go? She only had ten copper left on her. Staying at an inn was impossible. It might not even be enough for dinner.
But she couldn’t go, because Liu Duo had already made it clear the last time that they shouldn’t return. Moreover, she felt too embarrassed to go.
“Mom, if we don’t go to big sister’s place, where will we go?” Liu Ran was very obedient. If Liu Liushi said they were not going there, he would stop saying he wanted to go.
Although he really wanted to go there, he did not want to make it hard for her.
When Liu Liushi heard him, she was also at a loss. Where should they go? Go home? She never wanted to go back there! Her parent’s house? Their household wasn’t in good condition. She would only be met with resentment if she went there, so she didn’t want to do that.
Was there really nowhere for the mother and son to go? Liu Liushi’s eyes were red, and she grabbed Liu Ran’s hand tightly. She felt useless as she made Liu Ran suffer with her.
After Ye Liu and Li Wazi delivered the bamboo shoots to the restaurants. They bought an ox cart, and while they were hurrying home, they saw Liu Liushi and Liu Ran.
Liu Liushi did not see Ye Liu. She walked forward with Liu Ran. They were walking in opposite directions.
Ye Liu pulled on the ox to make it stop and then turned his head around to look at Liu Liushi and Liu Ran’s back.
“Liu, what are you looking at?” Li Wazi also turned to look back, but he only saw pedestrians, vendors, and peddlers. What was so special?
“I saw Little Duo’s mother and her little brother.” Ye Liu didn’t turn his head and instead kept looking at their backs.
Hadn’t Grandma Liu gone to their house to look for them that morning? He had unexpectedly ran into them.
“Where? Liu, do you want to go greet sister-in-law’s mother?” He knew about Liu Duo’s situation, and he knew they had broken off relations. But since they had ran into them, greeting them was still fine.
“You wait here. I will go there for a while.” Ye Liu jumped off the ox-cart and went towards Liu Liushi and Liu Ran.
Initially, he didn’t want to interfere, but he couldn’t just leave them wondering around town like this. By looking at the attitude of Grandma Liu that day, they had definitely been away from their house for a few days already. Did they have money to stay at an inn or to eat? Even if they did, they had probably already spent a lot of it!
