Chapter 510: Not As Estranged

Seeing no reaction coming from the couple, Ye Mo frowned and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to come, we don’t have to spend extra on food!”

He didn’t like these kinds of people who were slow and indecisive. Making a decision wouldn’t cost them anything!

Liu Quanfu then replied, “Surely, we’ll come, to visit our Duo Er and Ran Er. And we’ll bring out own food.”

They had always wondered about Ye Mo, worried he would raise his fist if he wasn’t happy with Liu Duo. He was incredibly hot-tempered.

Pffft, Ye Liu chuckled, “My dear in-laws, don’t listen to Mo. That’s the way he talks, don’t take it to heart. You don’t have to bring anything when you visit. He eats more than the two of you combined, and then some. Little Duo didn’t like that he’s putting on weight, so he’s trying to lose some!”

Ye Mo twitched his mouth. He didn’t want to admit that this brother of his was talking bad about his own sibling.

Li Wazi also couldn’t help but laugh. If Mo was considered fat, then no one else was thin!

“Liuzi’s right,” Liu Duo smiled. It was rare for her to go along with Ye Liu’s jokes.

Seeing her smile, the couple felt a lot more relieved and less stressed.

Ye Mo saw her squinting, and thought, fine, fine, just you wait. I’m not done with you for what you did in the morning, and this will add to your tab!

Liu Duo didn’t feel good knowing she was being stared at. When she turned to face him, Ye Mo proudly turned away with a snort.

So, Liu Duo rolled her eyes when he wasn’t looking. Ugly people make more mischief, they say, but he seems to be making a lot on his own even with a handsome face!

During lunch, Aunt Li greeted the couple pa.s.sionately. She welcomed them to make themselves at home and eat as much as they wanted. She could definitely pa.s.s as an elder in Liu Duo’s household.

Aunt Li was also quite pleased to hear that Liu Duo was willing to stay in contact with them.

After the meal, Liu Ran had a chat with his parents, not as estranged as before.

“Ran Er, you talk to them. I’m heading upstairs for a nap.” She rubbed her eyes.

The men had left for the paddy field to continue harvesting the rice.

When it was only the three of them left in the yard, Liu Lius.h.i.+ patted Liu Ran on the head. “Ran Er, rest a.s.sured. Your father and I won’t ever allow them to make life difficult for you and Duo Er. We’ll settle the score with them if we have to!”

“Alright, I believe you. You can rest a.s.sured too, Sis won’t let Liu Qing off easily. We also believe in the guards at the government office. They will catch him and throw him into jail. That’s what he deserves!”

That was quite ambitious for a child to say.

“Right.”

Liu Quanfu and his wife found that Liu Ran had matured a bit, and he seemed completely unaffected by what had happened.

They talked a lot, and slowly Liu Ran opened up to them once more.

After all, they were his closest family, and he had missed them a great deal, so it was easy to open up again.

After Liu Duo woke up and went downstairs, she heard them talking about Liu Ran’s schooling.

Liu Ran was very interactive and exultant as he shared his stories.

“Sis, you’re up! Come have some fruit! Brother Ling told me to get you some after you wake up.”

Liu Ran took one and ran to her.

Liu Duo accepted it with a smile. “That’s so nice of you.”

And she went to sit down in her rocking chair.
