Chapter 18

Liu Shimei felt guilty and did not say anything.

She was so annoyed. Why did the original owner forsake such good relatives? Now, she was the bad guy!

Fortunately, the Liang family loved her so much that they almost seemed possessed. They did not care about the past at all. Liang Wei cared for his granddaughter with all his heart and asked Liu Shimei, “Well, about the scheming, what do you have in mind?”

Liu Shimei liked this kind old man very much. Her smile was also full of sincerity. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Those small things are nothing. They’re just the schemes and plots between the younger daughters. It’s not convenient for my uncles and brothers to show up. I’ll take care of it myself.”

She changed the topic. “However, Father refused to hand over Mother’s dowry. I have no choice but to ask for your help, Grandpa. I don’t need anything, I just need a list of my mother’s dowry from that year to compare with the accounts. If Father still refuses to give it, I will take it to the court of judicial review and not let them steal my mother’s things!”

“I’m very pleased that you have such feelings for your mother!” Liang Wei looked at her and sighed. “Now that I think about it, Shimei, you really look like your mother!”

The old man was depressed for a while when he thought about his daughter’s death. The others were also dejected, especially a few of the older uncles.

However, he did not have to be emotional for long before he looked at Madam Wang and said, “Do you still have the list?”

“I should be able to find it. I’ll go look for it now,” Madam Wang replied.

When it came to Liang Ruyi’s dowry, Liu Shimei’s previous statement that the Liang family had emptied out the warehouse was indeed an exaggeration, but it was true that they had spared no expense in the dowry.

The Liang family only had one daughter, and when she was getting married, they gave her one-third of the family property as her dowry. Clearly, they held Liang Ruyi in high regard!

Even though it was not easy to find a list from many years ago, there was always a bottom line. When Madam Wang went to look for the list, Liang Wei said, “There is no need to sue them in the court of judicial review for the time being, this matter… Shimei, stay for dinner today, then let your five brothers send you home! Just let your brothers do the talking about the list. Liu Jun will definitely give you an accurate answer!”

As soon as the old man said this, the young men on the other side immediately stood up. “Shimei, Sixth Brother will accompany you!”

“I’ll go! My good sister, pick me! I’m your Ninth Brother!”

“I’m 13th Brother, I want to go too!”

“…”

Liu Shimei burst into laughter.

Out of the 16 brothers, only 12 were present. Four of them had followed their father to the border to join the army. Among these 12, the older ones were close to 30 years old and were more stable. The younger ones were very lively!

“All of you, shut up. We’re going to boost Shimei’s momentum, not to start a group fight. What are you all doing here?” The head of the household shouted at the group of younger ones and turned to Liu Shimei. “Shimei, let your older brothers accompany you.”

What a stark difference!

He was as fierce to his grandsons as he was gentle to his only granddaughter!

Liu Shimei felt the love of her elders.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, Grandpa!” She tried her best to smile, her eyes burning with tears.

Seeing her like this, Liang Wei was afraid that she would really cry, so he did not dare to say anything.

A teenager walked towards Liu Shimei. It was Ninth Brother, Liang Yi, who was about the same age as Liu Shimei. He was only 17 this year, only one year older than her.

He took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to her. He smiled and said, “Little Sister, take this for your self-defense!”

“Oh, Little Nine, you’re willing to give away your favorite dagger, ‘Heavy Blood’, to your sister?” This was said by old seventh.

Liang Yi chuckled and said, “We only have one sister. If I don’t give it to her, who else should I give it to? Those people from the Liu family bullied our younger sister. We couldn’t do anything about it in the past, but we will not stand idly by in the future! Also, we can’t let her be bullied after she gets married into another family!”

This sentence had activated a mechanism!
