Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dan Ruo’s face was flushed red and she was very curious. She asked, “Lan, why do you like to kiss Shan so much?”
Yang Cailan sighed, “He’s delicious!”
Dan Ruo’s face turned even redder. She knew Liu Baishan was such a fierce person and could not understand how Yang Cailan found him delicious. Regarding that point, Dan Ruo did not have time to continue thinking about it, because the people outside had once again caused a ruckus. Just now, Yang Cailan had angered Dan Ruo’s uncle, but that didn’t mean that they would not retaliate. It was just that Dan Ruo did not expect that they would counterattack so quickly!
Liu Dage’s family had directly moved Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu over. One had to know that seniority was the highest! The children could not fight against their parents.
Dan Ruo shrank her neck in fear when she saw her grandparents.
“What’s wrong? Are Grandpa and Grandma very fierce?” asked Yang Cailan. She thought of the old women who often went to offer incense in her previous life. They were quite mighty and basically had a say in the family.
Dan Ruo nodded and said, “Grandma is biased. Grandpa is even more excessive. They are all biased towards the eldest son, Uncle Dage’s family.”
The two old elders were carried over on bamboo chairs, and they seemed to be seriously ill. An old lady spoke, “Liu Fu, just say the word. Are you going to give me the money or not?”
Shui Xian’s neck stiffened and said, “We don’t have the money!”
The old lady opened her mouth and began to curse, “I think you’re just trying to piss me off! I’m asking my son. You don’t have the right to shout! Are all your men dead? You said you don’t have money? Who would believe that? You were rich when they married you, but you don’t have money to treat your in-laws? Are you heartless? What sin did the Liu family commit to having a daughter-in-law like you!” The old lady slapped her thigh as she pointed at Shui Xian and cursed.
Shui Xian was so angry that her face turned pale, but there was nothing she could do. It was not that she did not want to refute, but she was indeed her daughter-in-law. She still had some dignity. If she scolded her mother-in-law like that, the Liu family’s reputation would be tarnished and her daughter could not be married into a good family in the future.
Old Mrs. Liu did not care about that. She was just making a scene. Then, she pointed at her old man and shouted, “Look at your father. He’s about to die. His son didn’t even want to give him money to see a doctor. What’s the use of raising a son?”
To comply with the old lady’s words, the old man coughed a few times, as if he was about to die at any moment.
Shui Xian opened her mouth to argue, but Liu Fu stopped her, indicating that she did not need to say anything. Anyway, no matter what they said, it was useless. It made Shui Xian feel so wronged that she wanted to cry. Although she was shrewish, she was quite attentive to her parents-in-law. Shui Xian did not understand why they would do that to her.
Yang Cailan was confused. She said, “Your grandparents look so weird. It feels like our father isn’t their biological son!”
Dan Ruo sighed, “Lan, you’re wrong. Uncle Dage is not the biological son of my grandfather and grandmother. I don’t know why they are so biased towards their biological son and adopted son…”
Yang Cailan was shocked she thought humans care about bloodlines more than anything. She did not understand why this family was so strange.
Dan Ruo did not hide anything from Yang Cailan and told her directly. In fact, this was also a feudal superstition, because grandfather and grandmother had never had children in their early years. Then, they met a wandering Taoist priest. That Taoist priest pointed at Liu Dage and said that he would be a promising child. If they raised him, their family would prosper, and the promising child would always be filial.
Yang Cailan was speechless. It was very laughable to her. Even if the Taoist priest was fooling people, those people had to be stupid enough to believe his words.
The debate outside continued. Yang Cailan looked at Liu Baishan, who had once again become a tool in the background. She was really out of place with these people. She always felt that he was a judge. She looked at Liu Baishan with her hands on her cheeks. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became.
Dan Ruo also noticed Yang Cailan’s appearance. Dan Ruo looked at Yang Cailan, then at Liu Baishan, unable to understand how Liu Baishan looked good. He was scary and aggressive at the same time.
Of course, Liu Baishan noticed Yang Cailan’s gaze, but he lowered his eyes. He was not sure what he was thinking.
Just as Liu Dage’s wife was about to attack Shui Xian, the battle finally reached its climax. Yang Cailan could not wait any longer and jumped out of her room.
Dan Ruo definitely did not want to go. She was most afraid of this kind of thing. But Yang Cailan was not afraid. She could not bear to see the person she liked get hurt. Yang Cailan had just seen a woman scratching Liu Baishan’s neck when he was trying to stop her! Yang Cailan could not even bear to scratch him. She definitely would not let these people off!
