Liu Rumei screamed on the spot, trying to escape, but was brutally whipped by Liu Baixiao several times, causing her to fall to the ground in pain.

“No more, no…don’t hit me, it hurts…Baixiao, I…I was wrong, I won’t dare again.”

“Damn woman, I’ll beat you to death!”

Liu Baixiao completely ignored her pleas for mercy, feeling that beating Liu Rumei like this was finally venting all the humiliation he had suffered over the years in the Liu Family, and it made him feel extremely refreshed.

In the room, Liu Yushui sat on the bed, hugging her knees, her eyes red from listening to the screams coming from the courtyard.

“How did it…how did it turn out like this?”

She was confused. She had a good future; Zhou Liang was going to marry her, and she would become the wife of a scholar. But in the blink of an eye, all that was gone. All she had were the verbal abuses from her father to her and her mother, and the pain from the willow stick whipping her body.

Yesterday, she had been whipped with a willow stick for laziness, and today, she hadn’t had a bite to eat until now.

Her father’s intention was that there was not much food at home, so they had to save it for him and Liu Qingshui. Women were naturally useless and lacked strength to do work, so they naturally needed to eat less if they could.

Quite a while later, she heard Liu Baixiao gasping for breath, no longer venting his anger at Liu Rumei.

“Get up, stop pretending to be dead on the ground!”

Liu Rumei had no choice but to stand up with her body shaking slightly, looking at Liu Baixiao in fear.

“Go and cook now, do you want to starve me to death? Where’s Chushui, where’s that little brat been lingering, even catching a fish takes him so long, he’s totally useless!” Liu Baixiao glared at her and cursed.

“Chushui…he fell into the river while fishing and was saved by Lin Caisang, he’s at the Lin’s house now.” Liu Rumei replied timidly.

“What?!”

Upon hearing her words, Liu Baixiao jumped up in rage.

“He dares to enjoy good food and drink behind my back. Just wait till he comes back, I will teach him a lesson!”

In his eyes, Lin Caisang owned the Manghuang Mountain now and must have a lot of silver. Liu Chushui’s trip to the Lin Family must have been for a feast, right?

He was calculating how much they should eat each day to make the food last longer. But his ungrateful son was enjoying a good time without him.

“Bring the fish here, quickly cook the fish for me.”

“What fish? Chushui fell into the river, where are the fish?” Liu Rumei murmured quietly.

If she had fish in her possession, she wouldn’t have thrown such a tantrum just then, nor would she have had to endure that beating, it was not worth it at all.

“No fish?”

Liu Baixiao exploded again, followed by a torrent of verbal abuse.

But no matter how much he cursed, he didn’t dare to go to the Lin Family. He was afraid that Lin Caisang would ask him for silver again. Even though he wouldn’t give it, he didn’t want to feel the chilling sensation of potentially being robbed again.

…

Inside the Lin Family, Liu Chushui was sitting in the main room, slowly sipping corn paste from a bowl, and holding a cornbread in his other hand. Although he ate elegantly, it was clear that he was wolfing down the food out of desperation.

“This boy is really hungry, isn’t he?”

Lu Qiubo and the others had returned. Looking at Liu Chushui, despite their anger at Liu Baixiao, Liu Chushui was still a child, and their grandson at that. How could they not feel pity for him?

Moreover, looking at Liu Chushui’s behavior, he seemed to be quite well-behaved.

“Um.”

Liu Chushui nodded vigorously, taking another bite of the cornbread.
