Chapter 270 - You Choose!



Heartbroken, Liu Liushi dashed over. She pushed away her husband and held Liu Ran in an embrace, wiping away the tears. “Mother, Ran Er’s just being a kid. Why did you do this to him?”

Grandmother Liu only scolded in return, “Just being a kid? You didn’t teach him proper manners. That’s why he could say such things! I don’t need you to tell me how to raise my grandson...”

Liu Quanfu was heartbroken for his son too, and went up to check on him in turn. However, Liu Liushi pushed him back, “Don’t touch us!”

This husband of hers only knew how to obey his mother. It didn’t matter if Grandmother Liu was right or wrong. True, he was merely being a good son, but what good was that if he couldn’t even protect his own child?

Grandmother Liu went ballistic again when Liu Liushi spoke harshly towards her son Liu Quanfu. Liu Ran, who wasn’t even crying, looked from his grandmother, whose mouth never stopped moving, to his father, who always seemed so obedient. He was obviously on the brink of despair, but he still resisted.

That night, Liu Liushi sat by the bed, staring blankly in a single direction. She didn’t know exactly when Grandmother Liu’s rage subsided. She had become utterly numb.

Liu Quanfu came in after washing up and saw her in a daze like that. He walked over and sat beside her. “My dear, even though what my mother did today was terribly wrong, she’s old, and we should just make exceptions for her. Don’t take it to heart. We should sleep, as there’s still a lot of work to do tomorrow.”

She turned around, not fully looking at him, and said, “Quanfu, I don’t think I want to stay here anymore. I have really had enough. She’s been making life difficult ever since Duo Er was born, and even after Ran Er was born... Now, Duo Er has been sold, and today she beat Ran Er like that. I can’t take it any longer!”

“We’re so busy every day, and yet we have never gotten any approval from her. I’m really tired. Either you tell your mother that we’re moving out, and that the three of us want to live alone, or I’ll leave with Ran Er. It’s your choice!” With that, she left and went to Liu Ran’s room. She didn’t want to be alone with her husband.

Move out? True, it wasn’t like he had never considered it, but his mother had never even mentioned it before, so how could he as a son? If his sister-in-law were still alive, he would probably have done it long ago, but under such circumstances, his mother would never allow it.

“Little Yun...” His wife had left. Liu Quanfu furrowed his brow as he sunk into a deep conflict.

Who would do the work if they were to split the house? The other child bride had died of sickness three years ago, Liu Quanfan never remarried, and Liu Qing’s search for a bride had never been successful. People saw him as being lazy and unskilled, because he would just walk aimlessly around town, or gamble the day away, so who would want their daughter to marry him?

Liu Liushi went to Liu Ran’s room and found that her son wasn’t asleep yet. She went over and touched his cheek, feeling very sorry, “Ran Er, does it still hurt? I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you.”

“No, it doesn’t. Mom, don’t be sad,” Ran Er was quite empathetic for his age. He wiped away the tears with his hands.

“Such a good boy,” Liu Liushi held him in her arms as her tears kept flowing, “Ran Er, what would you say if we were to leave this house? Would you like that?”

Without sparing a moment for thought, he replied, “Yes, mother, let’s! Can we have Dad to speak to Grandma about it? I don’t want to live with them. I don’t like Grandma, Uncle, or Brother Qing. Not at all. They just keep bullying us. They even sold Sister Duo!”

He missed Liu Duo, who always loved him. He missed her a lot and was very upset about it. Back then, he had cried and pleaded Liu Quanfu to not agree with Grandmother Liu about selling her, but his efforts were futile.
