Chapter 361 - Help Your Brother

Grandmother Liu slammed the table hard at their reactions, “You hear me? Get going now and bring me the money! Are you so ruthless that you’re willing to see your nephew become a cripple?”

Seeing her emotional response, Liu Quanfu defended their position, despite the futility, “Mother, it’s not as though we want to see him like that, but we can’t go back to Duo Er’s place. We cannot face them anymore, let alone ask her for money.

On what grounds should she give it to them anyway? He kept that thought to himself.

Grandmother Liu refused to listen to any of this.

She stood up abruptly and went on another rampage, “You selfish son! I can’t get you to do things anymore, can I? How ruthless! Why didn’t I leave you for dead all those years ago…”

The couple just sat there, listening quietly to her abuse. She eventually became breathless and sat back on her stool.

It was then when Liu Quanyan suddenly knelt down in front of them, “Quanfu, I beg of you, could you go ask Duo Er for money to save my son? Qing Er can’t become a cripple. He’s still so young…”

He begged them tearfully, speaking of Qing Er being his only heir, and how he never got himself another bride, among other things.

The couple just furrowed their brows, not knowing what to feel. Then, it was Grandmother Liu’s turn to beg, “Quanfu, please help your brother.”

The old woman finally showed her gentle side. The kind woman now and the cruel woman before seemed to be two different people altogether.

Liu Quanfu was a little moved by this, but Liu Liushi warned him with a shake of her head when the two weren’t looking.

Do not go soft this time!

Because Liu Quanfu hadn’t agreed to help, the elder brother gritted his teeth and kowtowed before him, “Quanfu, I beg of you.” 　　 The grandmother quickly pulled him up, “Quanyan, what are you doing? Who bows to their younger brother!”

Then she went back to scolding Liu Quanfu again, “You selfish son! You brother’s kowtowed to you, but you still won’t help! Are you leaving him for dead?” 　　 Liu Quanyan’s forehead was almost bleeding. With difficulty, Liu Quanfu finally nodded.

For his brother to lay down his dignity before him, for the sake of Liu Qing, he found it a formidable gesture.

Kowtowing was only meant for the gods and as parents. No one should do it to their younger brother.

On the other side, Liu Duo had prepared a magnificent meal. Liu Ran, having a great appetite, ate it all up and even went for seconds and thirds.

“Sis, I think your cooking is a lot better than before. Your food tastes great!” Liu Ran burped, so full he couldn’t move.

Liu Duo laughed, “As long as you like it.”

A good meal was hard to come by. Even Aunt Li praised her cooking.

After lunch, Liu Duo went upstairs for a nap.

“Ran Er, you have school tomorrow. If anyone bullies you, do tell your brothers-in-law when you get back. They’ll deal with it. So don’t be hard on yourself, alright?”

Ye Liu as well as Ye Ling grinned as they engaged in chatter with Liu Ran.

Ye Yang, being stoic, could neither speak nor respond. Ye Mo shot a look at Liu Ran and sneered. Such a weakling – it was wonder he wasn’t bullied. 　 While they talked among themselves, Hei Xiaomeng suddenly barked at the door.

The men went to check it out, only to find Liu Quanfu and his wife pacing up and down by the door.
