Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers' Wife

Actually, when she said she would buy Liu Ran for a hundred taels, she was just throwing it out casually to see if Grandma Liu had any sort of conscience left that would stop her from selling her own grandson. After all, how could a person’s worth be measured by money? She never would’ve thought that Grandma Liu really didn’t have any conscience at all.

When Grandma Liu heard her raise the price, she excitedly confirmed it. “Of course, I will sell him. You don’t need to wait until tomorrow, you can take him right away! Just go back and get the money.”

Eight hundred taels? This was simply an unfathomable amount for a peasant household. They might not even get this amount if they planted farm corps for their entire life.

Pfff. Liu Duo laughed out loud. She was so keen and was really unable to wait.

Liu Quanfu shouted loudly, “Mother, we definitely cannot sell Duo Er!”

He made clear his stance. He would definitely not sell off his own son! Even if the person buying him was his own daughter.

Liu Duo held Ye Ling’s hand and walked away, ignoring them and not expressing any of her opinions further. When they reached the yard door, Liu Ran suddenly shouted at them, “Sis, Brother Ling, wait for a moment.”

They turned around and saw Liu Ran standing by his bedroom door. His body was small and weak but he was standing straight, as though he were about to make some sort of decision.

But they only saw him walk slowly towards Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi and then stood in front of them. He said, without any sort of special expression on his face, “Mom, Dad, are you guys really going to listen to Grandma and not move away unless you pay her five hundred taels to break off relations?”

Liu Duo and Ye Ling looked at each other when they heard him. This Grandma Liu was really quite a piece of work. She wasn’t against them moving out. Instead she wanted five hundred taels of silver to severe their relations!

She was suspicious whether or not Liu Quanfu was really her son!

“Ran Er, you...” Liu Quanfu really didn’t know how to answer.

They didn’t have that much money. Moreover, he didn’t really want to severe relations, since it would be too unfilial. He only wanted to move out so they could live their own lives.

Liu Ran looked at them and shook his head ever so slightly.

Grandma Liu heard him actually urging his own parents to move out again. She picked up a broom nearby and started to beat Liu Ran again. “You wretched little boy, saying such unfilial things again...”

“Mother, Duo Er is still injured. Don’t hit him.” Liu Liushi went over to protect Liu Ran, tears streaming down her face.

Ye Ling saw this and really wanted to step up and fight Grandma Liu. Liu Duo saw he was about to get stirred up again and patted his hand to tell him not to be worried. “I won’t buy him if you injure him!”

Grandma Liu immediately stopped when she heard this.

Liu Ran lightly pushed away Liu Liushi, who was protecting him. “I am willing to be sold to big sister!”

His eyes were full of disappointment towards his own mom and dad. Did they have to do everything Grandma said? Did they have to listen to her regardless of whether she was right or wrong? Didn’t they know how to fight back?

He really didn’t want to stay in this family anymore.

“Ran Er, do you know what you are saying?” Liu Quanyan finally said something and pretended to rebuke him.

However, Liu Ran completely ignored him, without even giving him a glance.

When Grandma Liu heard him, she smiled so much her face became wrinkly, as if the silver were already in her hands.

Liu Duo waved towards Liu Ran. When he saw it, he immediately ran over. She knelt down in front of him so she could speak with him eye to eye. She said to him seriously, “Are you truly willing to leave mom and dad and come with sis?”

“Yes.” Liu Ran nodded very firmly. He didn’t look at Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi anymore. They had really disappointed him.

Although he was only ten years old, he could still discern between what was right and what was wrong.
