When Liu Duo heard her, she stopped hitting her. “I don’t have a mother. If you want to look for her, look somewhere else!”
The two of them were chased away to the yard door. “The two of you can scram. Our house doesn’t welcome you! You better not let me hear what you said just now again. Otherwise…”
Liu Duo went to the side, grabbed Ye Mo’s firewood chopping ax, and then walked towards them.
When Grandma Liu and Grandma Ye saw it, their entire bodies started to tremble. “You… you… What are you doing? You wouldn’t dare to swing it at us!”
Both of them said the same thing but, in their hearts, they felt fearful.
A bang rang out. Liu Duo swung the ax at their main entrance of house so hard that she couldn’t pull it out. The corner of her mouth raised up to form a smile. She looked at the two of them and said, “You guys can keep testing me if you want to know whether I would dare to, or not.”
It was best to show her most fierce side when dealing with such shameless people. Otherwise, they would think she was easy to bully!
So what if they were her elders? They didn’t act like it. Neither of the two of them did anything that was expected of one’s elders. They don’t deserve to have respect or filial piety from their younger relatives!
After Liu Duo pushed the two of them out the door, she closed the yard door.
“Little Duo, our yard door is new, but you swung the ax so hard at it like that.” Ye Liu walked over and pulled the ax out.
Seeing that the people they hated had left, Ye Mo and Ye Ling returned to the kitchen, and Ye Yang continued with his work.
Liu Duo looked at the scar left on the yard door by the ax. It ruined its appearance, but Liu Duo didn’t mind at all. She said, sounding cute, “I have money, so I can do what I want! Buy a new one!”
Pfff. Ye Liu didn’t hold back and started to laugh. He felt the smug look on Liu Duo’s face was really too cute.
Outside the yard, Grandma Liu didn’t give up and kept banging on the door. “Liu Duo, your mother and Liu Ran are missing. Do you not care and aren’t going to ask about it? They are your mother and brother! Your own flesh and blood!”
Grandma Ye had come because she wanted to talk to them about not going to Ye Lanlan’s wedding. She also wanted to get the gift money from them while she was there. However, she received a beating and was then thrown out. Liu Duo also scared her so much that she would probably become an honest person for a few days…
Liu Duo sat on the stool in the yard and brushed Hei Xiaomeng with the brush they had bought especially for it. Bai Xiaojiao waited in its cage for its turn to be brushed.
It was like Liu Duo didn’t hear what Grandma Liu said at all. She did not show the slightest bit of reaction.
However, Ye Ling, the most soft-hearted of them all, put down the cooked, plain rice congee on the table and then said, “Duo Er, where do you think your mother and brother went if they are not at home? Aren’t you worried?”
“Ling, why are you asking this? Why should I be worried? She is already an adult who’s capable of choosing her own actions. She can go wherever she wants to. It has nothing to do with me!”
She had no desire to meddle in their business. She already had said the last time that it would be for the best if they each lived their own lives!
“But, she is your mother…”
In actuality, Ye Ling did not hate Liu Liushi. It was because when he saw her the last time, he saw her eyes were full of heartache and remorse for Liu Duo.
He also felt that Liu Duo shouldn’t hate her and should only hate Grandma Liu! After all, it was she who was in control.
Liu Duo stopped brushing Hei Xiaomeng when she heard him. She looked at Ye Ling’s delicate, feminine face and said, “Ling, I already said that I have no mother! I might have had one in the past, but I stopped having a mother, father, or any other sort of blood relatives from the day I came into your family!”
“Are you trying to make me leave this house by making me worry for them! Once I leave this family and stop being a wife to all of you, then I will have those wonderful people as relatives.”
After all, the reason she was a shared wife was that she had been sold. She had also severed her ties with her parental family!
That was why she wouldn’t bother worrying about Liu Liushi and the others. Conversely, if she hadn’t been sold as a shared wife, and were properly married instead, then she would worry about Liu Liushi and the others!
