    Grandmother Liu got back home and threw her temper at Liu Liushi, Liu Ran, and Liu Quanfu, who had followed her home. She had scolded him the whole time they were on the road, and she didn’t even stop when they arrived athome.


    But going off on ten-year-old Liu Ran was thest straw. Liu Quanfu wouldn’t have it. “Mother, the day you chose to sell her, she was no longer rted to us. You said that yourself too!”


    Duo gave us five taels of silverst time. She has fulfilled her duties. What gives you the right to go ask for more? Is there meaning to your unreasonable actions? Like I said, don’t go disrupting her life!”


    This was the first time in all his life that Liu Quanfu had actually confronted her. Grandmother Liu was taken aback.


    Liu Quanyan, who had been listening from the other room, heard his brother. And so he walked out to see what was going on.


    “Quanfu, how can you say that? She’s our elder, for god’s sake! Liu Duo belonged to us anyway, even if we sold her. Our blood runs in her veins, so she’s forever indebted to us!”


    Liu Quanyan stood by Grandmother Liu and spoke with an air of righteousness, as though things were exactly as he said they were.


    Liu Qing, who had been sleeping, was woken up by their noise. He casually walked out of the room, yawning. “Uncle, my dad’s right. Sister Duo is forever one of us. It’s perfectly eptable for Grandma to look for her. What you said was incorrect!”


    Grandmother Liu held a broom in hand and used it to beat Liu Quanfu over and over, “You are a disgrace to the family! How dare you use that tone with me? Why didn’t I strangle you when you were young...”


    “Grandma, don’t beat my dad! Dad’s right, my sister doesn’t belong to us anymore,” Liu Ran over and pleaded for his grandmother to stop.


    Liu Liushi went over too, “Mother, Quanfu isn’t wrong. Don’t do this.”


    Seeing that her daughter-inw and grandson had ganged up on her too, Grandmother Liu knocked down Liu Ran with one swift kick and made Liu Liushi the new target of her beatings. “You brought misfortune onto us! You gave birth to Liu Duo and wasted money and food on her. Now she’s married and refuses to pay me any respect...”


    Liu Quanyan and Liu Qing pretended to mediate, all the while talking badly about Liu Duo and her parents.


    Liu Quanfu immediately came between them when he saw that his wife was being abused. “Mother, if you’re mad, hit me, not Little Yun. She didn’t do anything wrong, and we didn’t say anything wrong either!”


    Liu Yun was the original name of Liu Quanfu’s wife.


    Under the influence of Liu Quanyan’s family, and after what Liu Quanfu had just said, Grandmother Liu only got angrier and attacked even more forcefully, swearing and cursing all the way.


    Liu Ran got up from the ground and went back again, this time stepping in front of his parents and blocking the broom, “Grandma, if you don’t listen to reason, then you don’t deserve to be an elder!”


    Grandmother Liu didn’t care. With one swipe, she pushed him away. After all, he was still young and not very strong. He fell to the ground easily.


    Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi went to get him up and chided, “Ran Er, how could you say that to your grandmother?”


    Grandmother Liu pushed Liu Liushi away before Liu Ran could mutter a word. She gave him a p on the face, “Your father is a disgrace, and you’re a disgrace too! How dare you speak to me like that! Don’t deserve to be an elder? Let’s see if I can beat some sense into you...”


    With a loud, forceful smack, a red, hand-shaped marking instantly appeared on Liu Ran’s tender cheek.
