Chapter 66: Arrogant Woman (Part 1)

Madam Wei really wanted to return the money. Her family did not need it.

However, Liu Sanniang smiled and said, “Mother, take it. Even if you want to return it, Magistrate Wei won’t take it back.”

Madam Wei felt complicated. She kept feeling that if she took this bag of silver, her daughter would have to take the path as a psychic.

Finally, Mr. Liu said, “Take it.”

Liu Erlang seemed to understand something and asked foolishly. “Mother, does it mean that from now on Sanniang will need to dress like a daoist? Does she have to make a daoist priest robe for herself?”

Liu Dalang really wanted to beat his silly brother to shut him up.

Madam Wei had already picked up her chopsticks and dragged Liu Erlang out by his ears.

Liu Erlang finally realized what was going on. “Mom, Mom, sorry, I shouldn’t have said that.”

Mr. Liu sighed.

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Father, I’m done eating. I’ll go back to my room first.”

Liu Sanniang knew that it would take some time for her parents and family to accept it.

Liu Dalang did not say anything, but he did not feel good either. He looked at his silent father and wanted to comfort him, but he did not know how.

Mr. Liu sighed deeply and no longer had the appetite to eat.

At night, Liu Sanniang slept very late.

In the middle of the night, the world fell silent.

Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and slept.

Before long, she was sound asleep.

She had a dream. In the dream, Madam Wei returned home angrily.

Seeing how angry she was, Liu Sanniang immediately wanted to comfort her.

Madam Wei cried in anger. “My daughter is not arrogant. My daughter is a good girl…”

Madam Wei could not continue and sobbed.

Liu Sanniang was like a passerby. She watched Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang fight with others outside because they accused Liu Sanniang of a poor girl wanting to climb up the social ladder by marrying a rich man. They talked and laughed at her.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang got into a fight with them, so people said that the Liu family was just a bunch of bad people.

When Liu Sanniang woke up, the uncomfortable feeling did not dissipate. She had a strong feeling that what happened in the dream had already begun to happen.

She heard Madam Wei opening the door and leaving for work.

Not long after, Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang also went out one after another. None of them came to call Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang cried silently for a while. She had been like this since she was young. Doted on by her entire family, she never needed to work.

Liu Sanniang felt a little dejected. Was this her punishment?

She was loved by her parents and brothers, so she was destined to lose something.

Liu Sanniang quickly got up. After washing up, she prepared to go out and buy some threads. She had survived in her previous life, so there was no reason why she couldn’t survive this life.

If she really couldn’t get married, so be it.

Liu Sanniang was ready to leave when someone knocked on the door. Liu Sanniang was puzzled. Who was it?

She went to open the door and saw Liu Yinniang outside. Liu Sanniang smiled. “Yinniang, what brought you here?”

Liu Yinniang looked at Liu Sanniang and did not enter the courtyard. She looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. “Sanniang, do you hate me that much? Why did you get your brother to hit Liu Shun? Why? Can’t I have what you don’t want?”

Liu Sanniang was stunned for a moment before she realized what Liu Yinniang was saying.

Liu Sanniang grabbed Liu Yinniang’s hand and felt her complicated and angry emotions.

Liu Sanniang instantly understood why Liu Yinniang came to look for her.

Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Yinniang and said seriously, “Yinniang, I won’t do that. I’ve said it before, Liu Shun is not a good person. If you don’t believe me, I have no choice. My eldest brother and second brother have nothing to do with Liu Shun, let alone break his legs.”

Liu Yinniang retracted her hand. “You liar. If it wasn’t your brother who did it, how would you know that Liu Shun’s legs were almost broken? I haven’t told you yet.”

Liu Sanniang frowned. Before she could explain, Liu Yinniang looked at her and said coldly, “Sanniang, I’ll prove to you that you’ve misjudged Liu Shun. Just you wait.”

After saying that, Liu Yinniang turned around and ran.

Liu Yinniang felt terrible. She liked to be friends with Liu Sanniang and couldn’t stand her life being ruined by Liu Shun.

Liu Sanniang looked at Liu Yinniang’s departing figure. She opened her mouth and wanted to call out to stop her, but she did not.

Because this scene reminded her of her dream. It was daytime, but she saw Liu Yinniang walking towards the darkness step by step.

Liu Sanniang retracted her gaze. The moment she touched Liu Yinniang, she knew that Liu Shun had been beaten up and his legs were almost broken. She did not know who did it, and Liu Yinniang did not know either, but Liu Yinniang was sure that it was Liu Sanniang’s eldest or second brother.

That was why she came to question Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment but did not go out. She closed the door and returned to her room.

In the evening, she made a table full of good dishes. There was fish and meat, filling the room with a nice aroma.

The door was pushed open and Madam Wei returned to the house angrily.

Not long after, Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang returned. Liu Dalang used his eyes to warn Liu Erlang not to talk nonsense. Both of them had washed up, but Liu Erlang walked with a slight limp, and Liu Dalang’s hands were a little clumsy.

Mr. Liu came back home and entered the house without saying anything. Not long after, Madam Wei came out.

Liu Sanniang pretended not to know anything and smiled. “Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, it’s time to eat. I made a few good dishes today. You are in for a treat.”

During the meal, Madam Wei wanted to cry, but she fought it back. She smiled and said, “Sanniang’s culinary skills have improved again.”

Liu Dalang smiled. “Yes, it’s delicious.”

Liu Erlang had always had a big appetite, but he did not eat much today. The glances he threw at Liu Sanniang were filled with sympathy.

Liu Sanniang picked up a piece of fish for Liu Erlang. “Second Brother, don’t you like it the most? Eat more.”

Liu Erlang hurriedly lowered his head and ate. He thought to himself that even if his sister couldn’t get married, there was still him and his eldest brother. If his eldest brother wasn’t willing to support her, he would support her. In the future, when he got married, there was only one condition. His wife must be nice to his sister. When his parents were gone, he would keep supporting his sister. If he was gone, his son and grandson would support her as well.

Liu Sanniang almost cried. She had enjoyed the love of her family for a lifetime, but she never knew that they had such thoughts.
