<h4>Chapter 519: Couldn’t me Anyone But Herself</h4>


    Tears flowed down her cheeks as she reacted to Liu Ran’s indifference. She began to whimper.


    Liu Ran heard the sounds and frowned at her. For the first time in his life, he saw his grandmother sobbing with her head hanging low.


    He beamed at her for a while, before saying, “You might as well leave. My sister won’t withdraw the charges. And I won’t help you talk to her! Liu Qing deserves all of this! It’s time he faces the music! Humph...”


    Liu Ran wouldn’t ever admit Liu Qing was his brother, because the man wasn’t worthy of the title. He only had a sister, and her name was Liu Duo!


    He also reminded her, “By the way, it’s best you surrender yourself to the government office. If the guards catch you, it’ll be more than just a few years in prison.”


    Once he finished what he had to say, he went back to his studies.


    He wasn’t afraid Liu Qing woulde asking for trouble, because his sister and his brothers-inw would take care of that.


    Grandmother Liu could only stare in bewilderment at the tiny figure sitting by the table in the house, doing his work.


    She realized then that her little grandson was not as soft-hearted as she thought he would be. He had gotten harsh and vengeful, as well as havingplete disregard for family.


    Grandmother Liu frowned at this, but felt that she was the one who had let things escte to the situation they were currently in. She couldn’t me anyone but herself!


    She sighed and left the scene.


    Liu Ran ignored her. He didn’t see her go. He was focused on his writing.


    On the other hand, Liu Duo had been observing the harvest. They had been going on for a long time and hadn’t bothered to take a rest or drink some water.


    So she took the kettle full of water and a stack of bowls and walked towards them.


    “Yang, why don’t you alle and drink some water?” She came to a stop at the raised path.


    The four of them stopped what they were doing and gathered around her.


    She passed a bowl to each of them and filled them with water. “Don’t any of you get thirsty? You don’t ever stop to drink.”


    “Little Duo, we don’t want to seemzy in front of you. We don’t dare to loaf on the job under your watchful eye, or you would punish us with no food,” Ye Liu teased, as he usually did.


    Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him. He was back to talking nonsense.


    Ye Mo finished his bowl of water in one mouthful and passed the bowl to Liu Duo. “Wife, another bowl, please. I’m still thirsty.”


    “Oh, you are, aren’t you? Why didn’t youe up earlier?”


    And then she poured him another bowl, and refilled for the other three too.


    When Ye Mo finished his second round, he returned the bowl to her. “Like Liu said, we’re afraid you’ll punish us for beingzy!”


    Liu Duo’s mouth twitched after listening to the two idiots. Were they calling her sadistic?


    Whatever, she was not bothering to reason with them!


    “Yang, Ling, care to rest with me under the shade?” Liu Duo turned to the other two.


    Ye Mo was quick to respond. “Wife, this is clearly preferential treatment! Liu and I aren’t happy about it!”


    “I do what I want when I want it! I don’t know about you two. It’s not like I’m blocking you.”


    Liu Duo didn’t want to acknowledge the two yful and shameless men.


    Ye Yang passed her his empty bowl. “I’m not thirsty anymore.”


    And then he got back to harvesting the rest. He didn’t want to stop for a moment to listen to his brothers teasing Liu Duo.


    Ye Ling passed her his empty bowl too. “Duo Er, you should get back under the shade. It’s awfully hot under the sun.”
