<h4>Chapter 355: I Don’t Want It</h4>


    Liu Duo was the only one who could fork out the money. Who else in their family was rich enough to lend to them?


    Even if Liu Duo were to hand over the cash, she knew that Liu Qing loved to gamble, so she might not get her money back at all.


    “Let’s go report it to the vige chief. She kicked you and beat me, so I’ll demand somepensation from her!” Grandmother Liu said viciously, as she helped Liu Quanyan get up.


    She was not giving up on the money!


    Liu Ran had grown to practically worshiped Liu Duo. He waspletely marveled, “Wow, sis, you were so cool back there!”


    Liu Duo grinned at him, “We can’t be weak when there’s people we want to protect. Tolerance feeds the mes of tyranny, so we have to fight back when we should! Got it?”


    “Yes, I got it. I want to be like you when I grow up. I want to protect you too, Sis,” Liu Ran said, nodding.


    He wouldn’t want to be like his parents, who were weak, powerless, and tolerant to a fault!


    Liu Duo nodded too, “Sure, then you have to protect me from now on, alright?”


    They chatted as they rushed home, not at all affected by the recent incident.


    Because of what happened, Liu Duo only adored Liu Ran even more. He knew to not let unimportant strangers ruin his mood.


    Back home, Ye Ling weed them, “Duo Er, Ran Er,e over for some water. You must be thirsty. So how did it go? Can Ran Er attend school?”


    He poured water for them to drink.


    Liu Duo sat by the table and took a sip, “Yes, he can. But he has to work extra hard to catch up, because the others started months ago.”


    “But that’s alright. When hees home, Mo and I will help him.” She would have said she could teach him herself, but in their eyes, she wasn’t very skilled yet, so she modified her words.


    Liu Ran heard that and his lips twitched, unimpressed, “I don’t want his help! Hmmph, I’ll work harder on my own.”


    Liu Duo knew he didn’t like Mo, so she smiled. Yet, Ye Ling said to him, “Ran Er, your Brother Mo went to school much longer. It’s easier for you under his guidance.”


    “I don’t want it!” Liu Ran said, facing the other way.


    Pffft, Liu Duo heard what he said, and she inexplicably remembered how Ye Mo, shameless as he was, would privately tease her using these words.


    Ye Ling and Liu Ran looked towards her when sheughed.


    “Ling, let me make lunch today. I’ll prepare something nice for Ran Er,” Liu Duo hastily changed the subject.


    Ye Ling nodded. Although he didn’t want her to work in the kitchen, he wouldn’t mind it once in a while.


    At the Liu family, Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi were looking after Liu Qing who was moaning in bed. They furrowed their brows anxiously.


    They didn’t want to look after him, because they had already severed family ties, but Grandmother Liu threatened to chase them out if they chose not to.


    After severing ties, nothing in that house belonged to them anymore!


    But even so, they should at least have a house and half a mu of farm, shouldn’t they? Otherwise, where would they stay? What would they eat?


    Liu Qing had really messed up by losing all that money, and Grandmother Liu was out demanding money from Liu Duo, so of course the two of them were flustered and anxious!


    “Uncle, are my father and grandmother back with the money yet? I’m in so much pain right now. I really need to see the doctor!” Liu Qing was covered in sweat all over and looked terribly pale, as his swollen leg tormented him.
