"Aunt, what will they do?"
"Yan, just focus on your studies. They can handle their own matters!" Liu Qingxi was not cold-hearted; it was simply that people like the Wang family did not deserve sympathy.
It was like a farmer helping a snake—after being kind, one could end up bitten!
"By the way, what characters did you learn today? Come and teach me!"
The previously frowning Kid smiled happily, revealing two adorable tiger teeth: "Sure! Come on, sister!"
Liu Qingxi's ability to read was merely an excuse for herself to learn characters!
In the past, even if she could read, pretending to be illiterate was truly painful. She feared being seen as a monster and burned at the stake. Now she finally had an excuse!
What she didn't expect was that Liu Qingyan, this Kid, was even more enthusiastic than she was. His greatest joy was teaching Liu Qingxi how to read, which gave him a strong sense of accomplishment.
In her previous life, she had received higher education; there was no way she had the patience to learn characters one by one. It was just for show!
After just one or two rounds, Liu Qingxi could write characters in the dirt with a twig—straight and neat.
The Kid's mouth slightly opened as he stared with his big watery eyes: "Sister, you're amazing!"
He had learned dozens of characters and received countless praises from Yang Yichen, but compared to his sister, it was nothing.
For every piece of knowledge he learned, Liu Qingxi could grasp it in a moment.
Liu Qingxi patted his head. It was no wonder he was surprised; after all, twenty years of education wasn't in vain. But she kept praising him: "Of course! With such a smart brother like you, how could I be foolish?"
"Hee hee hee~~~" The Kid jumped up and down happily.
At the same time, at Liu Family's New Residence,
The elderly Yan couple returned from the fields to find the yard empty, feeling inexplicably anxious.
Several children stood together in silence, whispering about something.
“Qing Shu, where are your parents and uncles?” The Qin Family did not notice that their voice trembled slightly; perhaps this was the spiritual connection between mother and child.
Just now, while in the field, her eyelids had been twitching non-stop.
One of the girls stood up, dressed in a light yellow Long Skirt, her hair styled up, and a hairpin swayed with her movement.
She was none other than Liu Er and Jiang Clan's daughter, Liu Qingman.
At this moment, the two elders were their greatest support!
And what about the eldest among the siblings, Liu Qingshu? Although he was already eighteen years old, having grown up under the education of the Wang family, he had learned much about being arrogant and overbearing but had not learned how to take responsibility.
Now that trouble had truly arrived, he was as timid as a soft-shelled shrimp, trembling and behaving even worse than a Young Lady!
His behavior made the Two Elders feel uncertain: “Man, you come here and tell us what happened!”
“Grandpa, Grandma, my parents were taken away!” With a nasal tone, Liu Qingman cried tears of fear; those people from Sanhe Village were truly terrifying!
A whole crowd of people had scared them to death!
However, Liu Qingman stammered and finally managed to explain the whole situation!
To Yan and the Qin Family's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue: “Weren't they not allowed to go fix the house? How could this happen?” The Qin Family asked tremblingly.
“Grandma, my parents and uncle didn’t listen to you!” Liu Qingman was eleven years old; she knew everything. The new clothes she wore and the beautiful hairpin on her head were all bought with hard-earned money.
This outfit and hairpin made many people envious and greatly satisfied her vanity.
But now? The elders had been taken away, leaving several children feeling lost and helpless.
In the end, Yan’s decades of life experience were not in vain. While comforting the children, she sent Liu Qingman on an errand: “Go to the cave and call your Fourth Uncle and Fifth Uncle over!”
When Liu Qingman arrived, Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu's families were having lunch together. They were still eating together since the new house had just been built.
As time went on, the First Branch and Second House always indulged in good food, leaving the Fourth House and Fifth Branch behind. Gradually, Liu Laosi stopped going to the new residence and set up a separate household in the cave.
Although the meals were not as good as those over there, at least it was more free and comfortable to eat.
As for the happenings in the First Branch and Second House? Liu Laosi hardly paid attention. When people from Sanhe Village came, they happened to be up in the mountains chopping wood, completely unaware of what was going on.
“Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, Grandpa and Grandma want you to come over!” Liu Qingman addressed her elders, but her tone carried an underlying sense of superiority as always.
Even now that the First Branch and Second House had fallen into misfortune, she looked down on these two families from the bottom of her heart, let alone Liu Qinglian and her sisters!
Liu Laosi was confused but still got up to head to the new residence.
After hearing about these events from his parents, Liu Laosi was left speechless!
But more than that, he felt anger and shame for the shamelessness of these two families. Thankfully, Liu Qingxi and her brother were not implicated.
“Fourth Brother, Fifth Son, your elder brother and second brother are in trouble. We are family; you two can’t just ignore this!” The Qin Family cried while lamenting their plight.
“Mom and Dad, what do you want to do?” In Liu Laosi's view, whoever was at fault should take responsibility: “Can’t you just have elder brother and second brother pay them back?”
“Where would we get that much money? They want double; we can’t come up with it!” The Qin Family thought of their two sons suffering in Sanhe Village, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Even though these two sons usually treated them poorly, they were still their beloved children in their hearts; they wished they could bear this suffering for them.
How pitiful is a parent's heart!
“Sigh! Mom, why didn’t you stop them when elder brother was doing this?”
“I tried to stop them! Who knew I couldn’t? They still went,” the Qin Family regretted not having completely extinguished their thoughts back then.
Her heart twisted painfully, making it hard to breathe as the heart-wrenching pain spread relentlessly.
At this point, there was no remedy for regret.
Liu Laosi looked at the two elderly people in front of him, feeling a surge of anger but managing to hold it back.
Haven't his parents always been this timid? He had known that for a long time.
Liu Laosi's emotions were a mix of anger, disappointment, sadness, and confusion, culminating in a deep sigh.
"Mom and Dad, I'll go take a look with Fifth Son!"
Though he was annoyed, neither of them could simply turn a blind eye.
Once the two sons left, the two elderly members of the Qin and Yan families felt as restless as if they were sitting on nails, unable to settle down as their minds were preoccupied with worry.
"No way, old man, I'm going out for a bit!"
"Where are you going?"
The Qin family didn't have much to say; regarding the house repairs, it seemed only one person could help!
Yes, they had wronged her as elders, but blood is thicker than water; they couldn't just abandon her!
For the sake of her two sons, she was willing to put aside her pride and plead with that granddaughter who had been driven out of the house to lend a helping hand.
