He watched her run off happily and giggled, “Little devil.”

She ran as far as several metres before Ye Liu caught up in no time. She sighed, “it’s so different with longer legs!”

They walked hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder once again. This time, Ye Liu watched his mouth, not even mentioning what had just happened. Between them, silence spoke louder than words, as they both bore satisfied smiles on their faces.

As they passed by a residence, they heard shouting and beating, as well as a woman crying. Around them, people were starting to gather and look on passively.

“Mrs. Wang, what’s going on now?” A woman asked.

“Not sure, let’s see,” another woman answered.

“What a pity, pregnant and being beaten still.”

“I heard Liu Ergouzi wants money to gamble again, but Liu Lanshi wouldn’t give it to him.”

...

As she heard the murmurs, Liu Duo did not want to look on. Not only was this unrelated to her, she did not like being an onlooker and a busybody.

She took Ye Liu’s hand and was about to leave, but it did not take long before more people crowded the place, all discussing at once.

Liu Duo furrowed her eyebrows, annoyed that she could not get past. It was someone else’s business, what was there to see? What a bunch of silly people!

They were stuck there. Ye Liu did not like it either. He did not like making gossip, but the villagers did not have much entertainment other than farming, so they found delight in sticking their noses in other people’s affairs!

“You stinky bitch, where did you hide the money? Give it to me, now!” Liu Ergouzi shouted fiercely.

“Husband, that money’s not for gambling. It’s for Xiao Lian’s medicine,” Liu Lanshi sobbed. She was already quite thin and fragile, on top of being four months pregnant.

“Good for nothing, there’s no need for medicine. She’ll get better in a few days. Now give me the money!” With that, he slapped her.

Blood escaped from the corners of his wife’s mouth, but Liu Ergouzi remained indifferent.

Next to him was his mother, crying and begging him to stop, “Son, your wife is pregnant. Please stop this foolishness! Don’t go gambling again, can you?”

“Let go! Cry, cry, cry, that’s all you know. Shut up!” And he pushed his mother away.

Having been pushed onto the ground, the mother cried, “You wretched...”

Liu Lanshi went to help her up, and the both of them burst into tears. Little Xiao Lian, about four or five years old, crouched aside and coughed in between sobs.

“Ergouzi, how could you do this to your mother and your wife? This is very unbecoming.”

“That’s right, whatever it is, you shouldn’t hurt them!”

...

The audience could not stand it any longer as they pointed out his faults.

“What are you looking at? Get lost!” Liu Ergouzi glared at them and stormed away.

Blocked aside, Liu Duo and Ye Liu listened to what was happening.

They saw Liu Ergouzi rush out and go far away. Liu Duo called out, “You’re a scum among men, worse than a beast!”

“Yes, a disgrace to all men!” Ye Liu looked at the other man in disgust. “But my brothers and I are absolutely not like that. This you can rest assured, Little Duo!”

Liu Dup turned around to look at him, expressionless as she said, “Even if you did that, I wouldn’t cry or make a scene. I would leave, find someone else, someone who would treat me well, or I would live alone forever! Whatever it takes, but I wouldn’t hang myself on a rotten tree!”

She was never someone who would compromise! Not like weak little Liu Lanshi!

This serious side of Liu Duo was scary to Ye Liu. She was not joking. If they really treated her badly and did something unforgivable, she would leave at any cost!
