Yes, how did I not think of this? Taking the opportunity to leave the Liu Family is just perfect.
Liu Qingxi had always felt that she lacked the ability to break away from the Liu Family and that it would be very difficult. But life is created by one's own hands, and it's better than living here with inconsistent meals.
Wang wanted to sell Liu Qingyan and keep Liu Qingxi for another reason: she was thirteen, and soon she would be of marrying age, which could bring a dowry.
However, with everything mixed together today, she became flustered and decided not to keep either of the siblings!
The more Liu Qingxi thought about it, the happier she became. Wasn't this a blessing in disguise? Could it be considered an unexpected joy?
Liu Laosi was anxiously helpless: "Sister-in-law, Sister Two, you are going too far!"
"We are doing this for everyone's good. Fourth Brother, don't overstep. Our parents have nothing; when did it become your turn? You are being disrespectful to your elder sister-in-law!" Wang held her ground firmly.
"Alright, Village Chief, I don’t want to discuss this anymore. From now on, Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan are no longer part of the Liu Family. There will be no connection whatsoever. If there’s anything, don’t come looking for us."
Wang's words determined the outcome, leaving no room for negotiation.
Liu Qingxi slowly stood up, her inner rage making her eyes widen as she stared at Wang: "Aunt, this is yours. We are no longer part of the Liu Family; even if I die, I will not seek you out.
Don't forget, if I, Liu Qingxi, achieve something in the future, do not come looking for me!"
"Hah! You? You don’t even know if you can survive and you dare to talk big; it’s simply ridiculous!" Wang dismissed her completely.
"Then fine, Village Chief and all the elders, I ask you to bear witness that from now on, Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan have no relation to the Liu Family. Life and death are fated; wealth comes with fortune!"
Liu Qingxi wanted everyone to witness this to prevent Wang from going back on her word.
"Qingxi, think it over. You need to understand that once you leave the Liu Family, it will just be the two of you siblings left. Life will undoubtedly be difficult," Zhang Wuliang did not want Liu Qingxi to be so resolute.
Liu Qingxi shook her head, "Village Chief, I have made my decision!"
Wang rushed over, "Village Chief, this Dead Girl has agreed, so you don't need to interfere!"
She wished that Liu Qingxi and Liu Qingyan would leave right now, of course unwilling to heed Zhang Wuliang's advice.
Liu Laosi was so angry he was stomping his feet, while Liu Laowu kept his head down, saying nothing. Having been married to his wife Zhao for over ten years and only having one daughter, Liu Qinglian, he had the least say in the family.
Seeing that no one opposed her, Wang immediately urged Liu Qingxi out the door but suddenly remembered she couldn't touch their bodies and instead used a stick to drive them away, "You all hurry up and leave!"
The scene was chaotic; Liu Laosi was furious, Liu Laowu indifferent, the Liu Family's First Branch and Second House were gloating, while Yan and the Qin Family couldn't bear to watch. Each person's expression left a different impression on Liu Qingxi's heart.
Thick smoke billowed from Yan's mouth as heavy sighs fell on Liu Qingxi's heart.
She knew that her grandparents were kind but too weak to stand up to Wang from the Jiang Clan, watching helplessly as they were bullied.
However, Liu Qingxi did not blame them; compared to Wang, Yan and the Qin Family had already treated them well!
"Father, Mother, say something! Qingxi and Qingyan are Brother Three's children. Do you want Brother Three to rest in peace in the afterlife? Should we completely eradicate his children after they have passed?"
Liu Laosi's accusations weighed heavily on Yan's heart as he thought of the young Third Son who had died, the gentle Third Son's wife, and the pain of losing someone dear.
He suddenly stood up, "Eldest Uncle's Wife, shut your mouth! These two children cannot leave; I can still hold this family together. You cannot make that decision!"
Liu Laosi's words successfully provoked him; it was the first time this honest man had exploded with such anger.
"Father! What are you saying? Oh my, are you trying to make it impossible for anyone to live? I have married into the Liu Family for so many years, working hard and worrying endlessly. In the end, it's all my fault? I can't live like this anymore; life is unbearable!"
Wang sat on the ground, throwing a tantrum and getting covered in dirt. Zhang Wuliang couldn't help but distance himself; she was simply a shrew, a madwoman, unreasonable.
"Shut up!!!" Yan's blood boiled, and at this moment, he would not allow anyone to refute him.
"If my child stays, then he stays. If you say another word, leave the Liu Family!"
As soon as Yan finished speaking, Wang's cries abruptly stopped. She knew that although this grandfather was honest, he could be quite resolute at times, and this time he was clearly serious.
Liu Eldest couldn't bear to see his daughter-in-law being scolded and stepped in to mediate: "Father, what you said isn't fair. His mother means no harm; this isn't her fault!"
"If it's not her fault, then whose fault is it? You two are always stirring up trouble, looking for issues. Don't talk back!"
"Father, you can't do this! We haven't done anything wrong; you can't ignore our well-being. Right, Second Brother?" Liu Eldest wasn't foolish; he quickly brought Liu Er into the conversation.
"Yes, yes! Father, we are all your children; you can't be biased!"
In an instant, everyone from the First Branch and Second House stood united against Yan's decision.
Liu Qingxi disagreed with Yan's decision; she didn't want to continue staying in the Liu Family.
However, she would never forget those who treated her well today.
"Grandfather, please don't worry. I don't want to burden everyone. I will take my brother away. We will go far away and definitely won't disturb you. We understand your kindness towards us and will never forget it!"
"Oh, good child!" Yan's rough hand brushed over his granddaughter's soft head, feeling utterly soft-hearted. "It's the grandparents' fault for not being able to protect you!"
"Not at all! Grandfather and Grandmother have treated us very well. Thank you! We won't burden you any longer; we just need a place to stay. Can we move out tomorrow?"
"Qingxi, it's all Grandpa's fault. You can stay as long as you want, don't worry!" Since others couldn't make decisions, letting his granddaughter stay didn't seem like a big deal to Yan.
"No way, we can't stay!" Wang was pushing her luck, and Yan's compromise sparked a rebellious thought in her.
Everything that just happened felt like a White Out; after all, the chances of Liu Qingxi staying were slim.
"Alright, Aunt, we won't stay, but you must swear that you won't cause trouble for us siblings in the future. We're not family. If you break this vow, may lightning strike!"
"What's so great about that! I swear, from now on I have nothing to do with Liu Qingyan and Liu Qingxi. Otherwise, may lightning strike!" She angrily dropped her hands.
"With your attitude, I wouldn't even bother looking for you. Whether you survive or not is still uncertain!"
"Qingxi, you're too stubborn, but that's fine. You two work hard and you'll be able to support yourselves!"
Zhang Wuliang had anticipated this outcome; the determination in Liu Qingxi's eyes told him this was no joke.
After a busy day running around, he finally returned at night, feeling exhausted and needing to sleep immediately. Goodnight everyone, here's today's chapter!
Of course, anything is possible; he believed that Liu Qingxi had great fortune ahead.
Liu Qingyan followed her sister without saying a word as they walked toward the cave.
"Stop! What are you doing?" A sudden shout rang out!
