Chapter 158 The Liu Family Found a New House
The most miserable one was Er Gouzi. Liu Ye deliberately broke another leg, so now he had neither leg left. He crawled to Bai Zimei's side and slapped her awake: "Bai Zimei, you little slut, wake up! Bai Zimei, Bai Zimei!"
Bai Zimei groggily sat up from the ground: "Hmm, time to eat."
"Screw your legs! Hurry up and carry me home, my legs hurt so much...!" Wang Ergou roared.
He's kicking himself now. He didn't get any benefits, and now he's lost a leg. His life is over. That son of a bitch Zhao Hanzi really screwed him over. He lost his leg because of him, and he has to get compensation from him. Otherwise, he'll expose all the good deeds Zhao Hanzi did, and nobody will get away with it!
Bai Zimei's memories returned, and she looked at Liu Ye's tightly closed door in horror. She scrambled to her feet and ran, completely ignoring Wang Ergou. Wang Ergou's legs were crippled; she wasn't going to live with a cripple. He wanted her to clean up his messes and serve him? No way! Two-legged toads were hard to find, but two-legged men were everywhere. She was going to find a rich man in town and never go back to a poor wretch.
When Wang Ergou saw Bai Zimei run away and completely ignore him, he was so angry that he crawled on his hands and knees to chase after her, yelling, "Bai Zimei, you come back to me! You bitch, you come back to me! Bai Zimei, Bai Zimei, you little bitch, you come back to me! Waaaaah, please come back! Waaaah, help me!!"
When Liu Ye heard that there was no more noise outside, she slipped into her spatial dimension. She didn't come out until after dinner the next day, when it was already daylight outside. She went to the door, locked the door, and then strolled back to her home in town.
She hadn't been home all day, and the stove had gone out. She quickly lit it again, fed the cow some grass, and was about to go back inside when she heard another knock on the door.
She dusted off her hands, hesitated, and walked to the front door. Who could it be? It shouldn't be Brother Bai, right? She decided not to open the door yet. She softly asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Ye. Please open the door."
When Liu Ye heard this, she exclaimed, "Oh my god! Isn't this the silly girl's grandfather, Old Man Liu? Why is he here? No, he definitely didn't come alone. There must be a bunch of people at the door." She peeked through the crack in the door and sure enough, the Liu family was all at the door, every single one of them. "Strange," she thought, "how did they know she lived here? Who told them?"
Suddenly, she remembered the glare that Butler Qin gave her yesterday. Could it be him? It's very possible, otherwise no one would know where she lives. How annoying!
"Bang bang bang," Old Man Liu craned his neck and shouted into the door, "Ye, open the door quickly! Your grandpa and grandma came here especially to see you. Just open the door, we'll just take a look and then leave. Don't worry, we have plenty of food and clothing, we won't skimp on you. We just missed you and came to see you."
Liu Ye pouted. Why didn't she believe it? But opening the door was fine too. Anyway, no one was home and she was bored. Watching them perform monkey shows would be nice.
She opened the locked door, revealing the entire Liu family outside. Upon seeing Liu Ye, the Liu family members were incredibly enthusiastic, all vying to speak to her. She would say one thing, and you would say another, leaving Old Man Liu unable to get a word in edgewise. For a moment, it was a chaotic mess.
Enraged, Old Man Liu roared, "All of you, shut up! Don't you have any manners?!"
The Liu family immediately fell silent, behaving like quails. Now that no one was disturbing them, Old Man Liu looked at Liu Ye with a kind expression and said gently, "Ye, I brought the family to see you. Seeing that you're doing well, I'm relieved. I can die in peace. Otherwise, I was most worried about you. I didn't care enough for you before, I didn't take good care of you, and you suffered so much at home. I feel guilty. Ye, you blame me, but I don't blame you. It's just that I'm getting senile...!"
No sooner had Old Man Liu finished speaking than Uncle Liu interrupted, saying, "Niece, I also want to apologize to you. You've made something of yourself now, so don't hold it against me. We're family after all, haha. I know you opened a noodle shop in town, and you even hunted a big bear the other day. Wow, Hunter Bai is really amazing! You've chosen the right person to follow, you have good taste. I heard you bought this house too, that's impressive, haha, I'm so envious."
Old Man Liu glared at Uncle Liu through gritted teeth. "You bastard, didn't you see him talking? Why did he come over to interrupt?"
Liu Ye curled her lips into a cool smile: "Someone told you that I bought a house, so you came looking for me. Who told you that? It was a man, right? His surname is Qin."
Uncle Liu looked at his father with an embarrassed expression. He seemed to have said too much. Old man Liu chuckled and said, "We heard it from Village Chief Zhao's son. He works for a wealthy family in town. He said he saw you coming out of the yard. He knew we cared about you, so he went to our house to let us know. That's why we came to see you. Hehehe, it's really cold today. My fingers are frozen and my feet hurt from standing here for so long..."
Liu Ye dismissed his words as nonsense, thinking to herself, "Why don't you freeze to death, you old bastard? You're full of lies. He calls himself the son of Village Chief Zhao, but he's probably Steward Qin. Steward Qin must be acting on Master Qin's orders to avenge his daughter."
"Okay, I understand. You've all seen me. I'm doing fine. I have food and drink, and money to spend. It's so cold outside, you should all go home."
Old Man Liu nodded awkwardly, then turned to look at Boss Liu. Boss Liu knew it was his turn, so he stepped forward with a smile and looked at Liu Ye ingratiatingly, saying, "Girl, it's like this. We're not just here to see you today. You see, it's almost New Year's, and there's a temple fair tomorrow. I heard it's going to be very lively. We want to have some fun in town and buy some New Year's goods to take home. Don't worry, we brought food with us. Just make room for us to stay. We'll leave after we finish at the temple fair tomorrow. We won't bother you for even a day longer."
Liu Ye almost laughed when she heard this. They must be dreaming. They want to stay at her house. As the old saying goes, it's easy to invite a Buddha but hard to send him away. They say they'll stay for one day, but once she lets them in, they'll probably refuse to leave. Don't think she doesn't know what they're up to.
So she refused without hesitation, saying, "No, this isn't an inn. There are inns in town, you can stay there."
Liu Laoda immediately put on a crying face and said, "Ye, you know our family isn't well-off. The disaster relief money given by the government has been almost used up to repair our house, buy food, and add household items. We don't have any spare money to stay at an inn. Please let us stay for one night so we can save money to buy medicine for your grandmother. Your grandmother is in poor health and has been taking medicine. Please be lenient with us."
