“Your parents!” Ye Yang looked at Liu Duo beside him and said frankly.
Liu Duo wasn’t sure if she should laugh or strangle him. He didn’t know how to get with her program!
“What parents? Our Liu Duo doesn’t have any parents! She only has four husbands,” Ye Mo yelled out angrily when he heard the answer.
The couple had met Ye Mo before. He was the one who had taken Liu Duo away from their house. Their faces paled when they heard him speak.
Ye Liu had already guessed that the couple didn’t have a good relationship with Liu Duo. After he dried the quilts, he pretended to disagree with Ye Mo and retorted fiercely, “Little Mo, watch your mouth. Do you mean Little Duo was born from stone, since you said she doesn’t have parents?
He walked over and greeted them with a smile, “Please, don’t take it personally. He’s always like that. Just think of him as babbling nonsense. Now, what brings you here to our humble abode?”
Ye Ling looked at the couple, and then looked at Liu Duo. He noticed that she wasn’t happy at all to see her parents again, so she must have hated them for selling her as their shared wife!
He felt bad. On one hand, he was glad that they had sold Liu Duo to them. On the other hand, he pitied her circumstances.
Ye Ling went to Liu Duo’s side and held her hand tightly, as though he were making a vow that they would treat her well and never betray her!
Liu Liushi saw that her daughter had grown very much during all that time. Her heart twisted. Her daughter shouldn’t be living such a hard life as a shared wife! It was all their fault for not being able to stop the elder’s decision!
Liu Quanfu looked at Liu Duo and felt bad too, “Duo, we came to see you, hoping to find you well.”
Of course he wouldn’t dare say that Liu Duo’s grandmother instructed them to come get money from her. Since finding out that Liu Duo and the brothers had built a big house and had been living and eating rather well, they were urged to seek out undue advantage from them.
According to her, since the daughter was living a good life, how could she forget her parents?
“Yes, Liu Duo. We’re relieved to see you doing well.” Age had left traces on Liu Liushi’s face, but it didn’t hide her sincerity.
Two trails of tears trickled from the eyes identical to Liu Duo’s. She must have been a beauty when she was younger.
Hearing their words, seeing her mother cry and her father filled with regret, Liu Duo furrowed her brow as sadness rose from within.
She wasn’t sure if she was feeling sad for the real Liu Duo, or that she terribly missed her parents in the other world where she had died. She wondered if they were doing well. What kind of parents didn’t love their child?
Now she had become terribly upset as she didn’t even realized tears were sliding down her cheeks.
Ye Ling didn’t know what to do as he saw this, “Duo Er, don’t cry.”
Ye Yang patted her on the head, “Go ahead.”
He knew she must be sad. It’d be over once she let it all out. It was just that this was the first time seeing her like this, and his heart cringed as though a needle had poked through. He didn’t want to see her cry. Smiling suited her!
Ye Liu held her other hand and wiped away her tears, “Little Duo, you look really ugly when you cry.”
Ye Mo, who was chopping firewood, let go of his tools and rushed into the room. He shouted at the older couple, “It’s all your fault Liu Duo’s like this now! Get out! You’re not welcome here!”
