When the Elder Yang couple saw Yang Liuâs expression, they knew that they would not get any benefits. Elder Yang slapped Yang Liuâs face. âIâll beat you to death, you embarrassing bitch.â
âIâll fight you to the death.â Yang Liu lowered her head and bumped into them.
Ah Lian shouted, âSisters, hit these two dogs.â
The twenty women behind Yang Liu roared and rushed forward to grab the hair of Elder Yang Da and his wife. They pulled them to the ground and tore, scratched, and bit them, punching and kicking them.
âYouâre still thinking of bullying us. Iâll beat you to death. Iâll beat you to deathâ¦
âTear his mouth apart. Letâs see who dares to scold us in the futureâ¦â Dozens of hands fell on the Yang Da couple. They let out cries of pain and did not even have the chance to fight back.
Elder Yang screamed, âHelp! Someoneâs beating us to death. Help..
The people who came with them looked at themâ¦
Seeing that no one went forward to help them, Elder Yang began to scream and beg for mercy. âStop fighting. We donât dare to anymore. Letâs go. Stop fighting.â
âToo fierce.â The people in the central room were dumbfounded.
They looked at these women and began to beat a retreat.
Seeing that the Elder Yang couple were pressed to the ground and could not move, a thin old man went forward and advised, âSisters-in-law, itâs about time. If you kill them, you have to pay with your lives.â
Seeing that the two of them had lowered their voices, Ah Lian felt that it was about time. She stood up. âSisters, donât beat them to death. Itâs not worth it to die for such scum.â
Everyone obediently got up and dispersed. The couple lay on the ground with disheveled hair. Their clothes were torn and tattered, and their faces, necks, and bodies were covered in injuries.
Yang Liu pointed at them from above and said sinisterly, âI have nothing left now. I only have a rotten life. If you anger me, Iâll burn your house down.â
âI donât dare anymore, I donât dare anymoreâ¦â Elder Yang begged for mercy in a sorry state.
Yang Liu pointed at him in an imposing manner and shouted, âGet lost. If you come to Liang Village again, Iâll beat you up every time I see you.â
The Elder Yang couple got up and did not dare to look at Yang Liu. They squeezed out fearfully and limped away.
Ah Lian turned to look at the others. âWho are you all looking for?â
The old man looked at Liu Ye and saw that she vaguely resembled his daughter. He identified her carefully, but she didnât look like a teenage daughter no matter how he looked at her. He couldnât be sure that she was the person he was looking for.
Liu Ye looked at him and smiled bleakly. âYouâre here to see my house, right? Iâm Liu Ye. Iâm the only one left in my house. My mother was killed by them in order to protect me. Leave! I donât want to see you.â
The old man looked at Liu Ye, who looked like an old woman, and revealed a stunned and heartbroken expression.
Liu Ye looked at him and thought of the old manâs love for her when she was young. Looking at him, she couldnât bear to see him like this. âLeave! Iâm doing very well with my aunts. The Imperial Court will find us a child. Iâll raise him well. My parents will have their bloodline.â
The dark-skinned man stepped forward and said with heartache, âLiu Ye, Iâm your uncle! Your grandfather rushed over as soon as he heard about you. How can you talk to your grandfather like this?â
Liu Ye looked at him and said coldly, âWhat do you want me to say? Do you want me to cry bitterly with you? I donât want to cry now, and I canât cry anymore.â
âChild, youâ¦â Liu Yeâs uncle looked at Liu Ye and opened his mouth slightly, but he could not say a complete sentence.
The old man took out a pouch from the pouch and took the things from his sonâs hand. He placed them on the table in the central room and turned to look at Liu Ye. He choked and said, âChild, Grandpa is going. Live a good life. If you encounter anything in the future, bring a letter to the family.â
Liu Ye watched as her grandfather took a step forward and retreated. She knelt down and kowtowed. âTake care.â
Liu Yeâs uncle looked at Liu Ye with red eyes. âIf you encounter anything, bring a letter to Uncle. When you have thought things through, come and see your grandfather.â With that, he went forward to support his father and slowly walked out.
Liu Ye watched the two of them slowly walk out of the courtyard. She rubbed her face and took a deep breath. She said to Ah Lian, âSecond Aunt, Iâm going to cook.â
Ah Lian nodded and looked at the remaining dark-faced woman and the two men. âWho are you? What are you doing here?â
The black-faced woman looked at the dark-skinned woman behind Ah Lian and said with red eyes, âLa Mei, donât you miss me anymore?â
Lai Mei wondered bitterly, âMiss you? Do you want me to be ordered around like a mule? A married daughter is like spilled water. Thatâs what you said.â La
Mei looked at her coldly. âNo, you donât have to miss me. Iâm afraid.â
The old woman spat angrily at the coldness of the La Mei. âYou heartless girl. Iâve come so far to see you. Is this how you talk to me? Iâm your biological mother. I might as well have raised a dog.â
La Mei said angrily, âCan a dog work day and night for you? I started cutting pig grass and herding cows when I was three years old. When I was a little older, I went to work in the fields. The day before I left, I was still planting seedlings in the fields. Madam Liâs servants all live more like humans than I did. When I married into the Liang family, I didnât miss a single ceremonial item when it came to you. When my child was sick, I asked you to lend me money. What did you say? You said you donât have to worry about spilled
water.â
Was this still the silent La Mei who only knew how to work? The old woman pointed at the winter plum in disbelief. âWretched girl, so youâre so resentful! Go to the village and take a look. Which girl hasnât lived like this since she was young? Who asked you to be reincarnated into a family like ours? Why donât you reincarnate as the young lady of a rich family? Do you have that fate?â
La Mei shouted, âI was reincarnated into your family because I was unlucky. Even a hen knows how to protect its chicks! You only protect your sons. You were the one who gave birth to them. Iâm a good-for-nothing and the slave of your sons. I can only work day and night.â
Seeing that the La Meiâs attitude was completely different from before, and thinking of her purpose for coming, the La Meiâs mother softened her stance and said, âEven if I treated you badly in the past, girl, youâre alone now. Youâ¦â
After saying so much, it was all because of the few taels of silver. La Mei looked at her with a sneer. âYou donât have to say so much here. I know why youâre here. Leave! I wonât sell my land to earn tributes to your sons and grandsons.â
âYou!â The old woman looked at the angry women and could only say resentfully, âIf you have the ability, donât go back to your parentsâ house for the rest of your life.â
âDonât worry. Iâve died countless times. I donât take it to heart anymore,â La Mei said indifferently.
âYou heartless girl. Letâs see how long you can be arrogant.â La Meiâs mother cursed and pushed through the crowd.
Ah Lian looked at the remaining two men. âWhose family are you from?â
The two of them looked at Ah Lian. âWeâre here to ask if we can find the government to pay some money since my brother-in-lawâs family is no longer around..â
