Chapter 36: Really Evil
“Little Naughty” Ye Liu couldn’t help but smile as he gazed at Liu Duo, watching her back as she cheerfully ran away.
After Liu Duo had ran a few dozen meters meters away, Ye Liu caught up with her.
She sighed, it was obvious their legs weren’t the same length.
The two hold hands once again while walking side by side. This time, Ye Liu didn’t speak carelessly nor did he mention the problem just now. There was nothing to say during this period, and both of them wore satisfied smiles.
***
While passing by a family’s house, they heard beating, scolding and a woman’s crying sounds. There were also groups of people that gathered watching the bustling situation.
Wang Saozi, what’s the matter?”,
a woman asked.
“I’m not too sure, just take a look for yourself.”, Another woman answered.
“What a demon. She’s pregnant, yet she’s still being beaten.”
“I heard that Liu Er Gouzi wanted money to gamble, but Liu Lanshi didn’t give him any.”
…………
Liu Duo didn’t want to continue watching. She had nothing to do with them, besides she didn’t like to gossip.
She tried to pull Ye Liu and wanted to leave, but not long after, the road become full of people.
Everybody tried to get a word in.
Standing on the side, Liu Duo frowned, a little annoyed. What’s so good about watching other people’s family affairs? People here must be bored.
Trapped, Ye Liu was also uncomfortable. He too, didn’t like to see such things, but the people in the village, besides farming, have no other source of entertainment, so they like to gossip at other people’s family affairs!
“You stinky woman, where did you hide the money? Still not taking it out?”, Liu Er Gouzi roared
“You can’t take our money for gambling, we need it for Xiao Lian’s medicines” Liu Lanshi cried. Aside from having a frail and thin body, she was also bearing a 4 months old pregnant belly.
“What a waste of money, Just starve for a few days and it’ll be fine. Quickly give Laozi the money!”, he slapped her once more.
Liu Lanshi’s mouth bled, but Liu Er Gouzi remained indifferent.
Gouzi’s mother on the side cried pitifully. She blocked her son and said, “Son, your wife is pregnant, stop hurting her! Please stop gambling”
“Go away! Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry, you really infuriate me to death”; he said as he pushed his own mother away.
Her mother fell on the floor.
She cried and scolded him, “This unfilial son…”
Liu Lanshi got up and went to help her mother in law. The two of them continued crying.
Xiao Lian about 4 or 5 years old, with a small,frail body, was lying on the side, crying and coughing.
“Er Gouzi, why are you so rude to your aging mom and wife? You’re really an unfilial son.”
“That’s right, stop hitting them!”
…………
The onlookers couldn’t stand it anymore. They criticized him one after another.
“What are you all looking at? Mind your own goddamn business!”, Liu Er Gouzi glared at the crowd and rushed out.
Trapped at the crowd, Liu Duo and Ye Liu heard what happened inside.
Looking at the crazy Liu Er Gouzi walking far away, Liu Duo said;
“What a scum, not even equal to a beast!”
“Yes, What a shameless guy!”, looking at Liu Er Gouzi, Ye Liu shrugged his shoulders “But us brothers definitely won’t be like that. Xiao Duo can rest assured!”
Liu Duo turned and looked at Ye Liu, with a blank expression she said,
“If you guys do this, I won’t cry and make a fuss. I will just leave and find a new husband or I can just live my life by myself, That’s much better than hanging onto a rotten tree!”
She was never someone who just accepts and compromise! She’ll never be like Liu Lanshi, a fragile and weak person.
What Liu Duo said made Ye Liu seriously afraid. He knows, she’s speaking the truth. If they do this kind of thing to her, she will leave at all costs!
