Liu Liushi looked at her back and frowned. Why did it feel like the house wasn’t going to remain peaceful anymore?
Ye Liu and the others were riding the ox-cart back home when they ran into Liu Quanfu, who was on his way home.
“Dad?” Liu Ran called him.
Liu Quanfu heard the familiar voice and turned around to look at them. He saw Liu Ran wearing new clothes, which were even made with brocade, and he knew it was definitely Liu Duo who had bought them for him.
He nodded and opened his mouth to say something. However, he didn’t know what to say, so he just stayed quiet.
Ye Liu, on the other hand, stopped the ox-cart and smiled, “Elder, come aboard. We will take you back, since it’s along the way anyhow.”
When Liu Quanfu heard him, he reacted a bit slowly and was overcautious. He felt embarrassed to face them.
“Get on.” Liu Duo looked at him. It was nothing, since it was on the way.
They looked at him and waited for him to get on, but he just kept standing there.
“We asked you to get on, so just get on. Why are you being so slow?” Ye Mo said cooly and arrogantly, feeling a bit impatient.
He jumped off the ox-cart and pulled him over.
Yes, the violent Ye Mo went down, extended his arms, pulled him onto the ox-cart, and dragged him to his seat. At first, Liu Quanfu thought Ye Mo was going to hit him, and that scared him so much that his heart started to beat quickly.
When Ye Liu saw this, he frowned and reprimanded Ye Mo, “Mo, that is your elder. Can’t you be more polite? Also, can you please be more gentle!”
After speaking, he continued to drive the ox-cart forward. Immediately, the atmosphere on the ox cart became weird. Of course, this excluded Ye Liu.
Liu Duo held Liu Ran as she looked at Liu Quanfu. He treated himself as though he were invisible, and they didn’t know what he was thinking.
When they reached the village, Liu Quanfu got down from the ox-cart and thanked them before leaving. Liu Ran looked at his back and felt a bit sad. After all, which son or daughter wouldn’t want to live with their own parents?
When they arrived home, Liu Duo took all the things she had bought for Liu Ran into his room and organized them. She chatted with him, ” Ran Er, sis will send you to study at a school. Do you want to go?”
Go to school? Liu Ran looked at Liu Duo. “Does sis want me to get a scholarly honor?”
He had thought about going to school before, but their condition at home did not allow for it. Besides, Grandma Liu wouldn’t allow it either. People who sent their children to school all hoped they would get a scholarly honor and bring honor to their ancestors.
Liu Duo laughed when she heard him say this. “Ran Er, going to school isn’t only for getting scholarly honors. I only want you to be able to read and write. But if you want to take the exam, sis would not stop you, of course.”
She initially wanted to teach him herself, but it wasn’t too practical. After all, in their eyes, she had just started learning to read, and she also wasn’t able to recognize many characters.
“Oh. I don’t want to take the exams, but I want to learn how to read.”
He knew getting a scholarly honor was not easy. He didn’t really have that goal. He just simply wanted to learn how to read. In his eyes, people who knew how to read usually wouldn’t get bullied, and people would respect them.
Liu Duo nodded to show he agreed. “Okay. Sis will take care of it for you tomorrow.”
In an instant, it was already night. Liu Duo finished washing up and brought Liu Ran up to the second floor.
“Ran Er, your new life will begin after tonight. Forget about all the unhappy things in the past. Sis and your brother-in-laws all hope you will live happily every day.” Liu Duo sat by the bedside and looked at him.
“Okay.” Liu Ran also looked at her. He was obedient and very lovable.
“You go ahead and rest. Goodnight.”
Liu Duo walked out of his room with the oil lamp in hand and then headed upstairs.
The two of them were the first to wash up, so Ye Ling wanted to go chat with Liu Ran after he washed up. However, he saw Liu Ran’s room was pitch black, so he knew he had definitely gone to sleep. And so, he also went back to his own room.
Ye Mo immediately went upstairs after he finished washing up.
He pushed the door open and saw Liu Duo just as she was about to lie down to sleep. Ye Mo closed the door, took off his clothes, blew out the oil lamp, and got into the bed.
