“How is it too much? It is fine as long as Little Duo is happy. She can buy as much as she wants.” Ye Liu took the things from her with a smile on his face. He didn’t think she bought too much.
Liu Duo laughed hysterically when she heard him, not caring that they were on a busy street. She gave Ye Liu a warm embrace straightaway. “Mr. Liuzi, you said it so well. A man after my own heart.”
When Ye Mo saw that, he puckered his lips and muttered in his heart, Shameless.
Li Wazi took the things and then nudged Ye Mo. He whispered softly to him, “Mo, you need to learn from Liu. See how happy sister-in-law became when she heard what Liu said?”
Although he felt Liu Duo bought a bit too much, he also felt Ye Liu had said it very well. It was fine as long as the wife was happy.
Liu Duo ignored what Ye Mo had said. She held Liu Ran’s hands and walked to the front with Ye Liu. She felt Ye Mo was very stingy. It wasn’t like they didn’t have money and couldn’t afford it!
When he heard what Li Wazi said, the cool Ye Mo snorted. He didn’t feel he had said anything wrong.
She bought so much random crap. There was still a lot of food at home that they hadn’t finished, but she bought so much again! Couldn’t she wait until they finished the rest before buying more? The food would go bad if it wasn’t used for a long time, and then they would have to throw it out. What a pity that would be.
They went and bought some more stuff. When they were preparing to go back to their ox-cart, they ran into Liu Qing as he was being chased.
Liu Duo felt puzzled. Hadn’t he gone to the gambling den? Why was he there being chased by people who looked like they wanted to hit him? She looked at him for a while and then continued walking. She guessed that he must have lost money and was being chased for his debt. Liu Ran saw it and didn’t say anything.
Ye Liu and the others had never seen Liu Qing before, so they would naturally not recognize him. They glance over for a while before continuing to walk.
“Little brat. You have money to gamble, but you didn’t pay back the money you’ve owed me for such a long time!” One of the men kicked Liu Qing.
The people who were helping him were also kicking and hitting Liu Qing.
Liu Qing immediately explained, “Brother Wang, I was planning on paying you back after I doubled my money. How would I know…?”
He couldn’t finish his sentence. He never would have thought he would lose a few hundred taels in such a short amount of time.
What was he supposed to do now? Grandma Liu would also flay him if he went back.
The smart Brother Wang would naturally understand what the unfinished sentence meant, but he did not care about such things at all. “I don’t give a crap. It is your fault for not paying me back when you had the money! If you don’t pay up today I will definitely break your legs!”
None of the passersby went up to stop them, since they didn’t want to get involved in such things.
At the Liu family house, Grandma Liu realized her money was gone. She immediately rushed out of her room and shouted at Liu Liushi, “Is it you who stole my money? You better hand it over immediately!”
She hadn’t even properly heated up those eight hundred-tael silver notes in her hands, and now they were already gone?
“Mother, what are you talking about? I didn’t go into your room. How could I have stolen your money?” Liu Liushi asked in response.
She knew Grandma Liu always hid her money very well, so how would she be able to find it? Besides, why would she steal?
When Grandma Liu heard her, she frowned and was very unhappy. It was true, Liu Liushi had been in the house the whole time, so how could she have stolen the money?
Liu Liushi spoke up timidly, “Mother, could…could it be Little Qing?”
He was the only one in their house who would steal money! There had already been a lot of previous cases, so Liu Liushi immediately suspected him.
“You don’t slander Little Qing! He already changed that bad habit of his.” Grandma Liu shouted.
Although Liu Qing had bad characteristics, he was still her oldest grandson. She wouldn’t allow her to slander him.
“Then mother, you should continue to look for it. Did you misplace it?”
Grandma Liu thought about it and felt that was probably true. She was old, so she definitely must have remembered incorrectly. “You’re not allowed to follow me!”
She glanced at Liu Liushi, turned around, and continued to look for it in her room.
