Ying Tao also looked up and met her mother’s eyes. Madam Yang looked at the scar on Ying Tao’s face and tears flowed down her face. She rushed in and pointed at her face. ‘Who did this? Who the hell did this?”

“So what if someone did it? Did you kill him?” Ying Tao looked at her coldly.

Madam Yang looked at Ying Tao and wiped her tears. “You’re blaming me. No one expected such a thing to happen! They said that you guys suffered from the plague. Your father…”

“Why should I blame you? I only blame my bad luck.” Ying Tao glanced at her brother standing at the door. “When I waited for you to come day and night, you didn’t? I don’t need you anymore. Leave!”

Madam Yang looked at Ying Tao’s cold gaze and said aggrievedly, “Ying Tao, we’ve been here before. Just as your father and brother reached the Yang

Forest, they were stopped. Those people said that your village was infected with the plague and no one was allowed to enter. We even took a few beatings for this. We didn’t know that those people were bandits.”

Ying Tao also believed that they had come. Logically speaking, they would not be of any use even if they came. Instead, they would have lost their lives for nothing. However, she could not calm down.

“Sigh!” Ying Tao sighed. “I don’t blame you. Even if you came, you would have lost your lives for nothing. You’ve seen me. Go back!”

Seeing that Ying Tao’s expression softened a little, Madam Yang thought that she had persuaded her.

She said anxiously, “Your father misses you. He wants you to go back and see him. Your brother and I specially came to pick you up.”

Ying Tao glanced at Madam Yang and lowered her eyes. “No, I don’t want to go back.”

Ying Tao’s brother walked into the house and looked at the scar on Ying Tao’s face with heartache. “Sister, Xiang Xiu’s mother returned to her mother’s house yesterday and told Father and Mother about you. Father asked Mother and me to visit you. We’re relieved to see that you’re fine. Rest well. When the farming at home is over, we’ll come and help you work.”

“There’s no need.” Ying Tao looked at her honest and loyal brother and felt a warmth in her heart when she thought of her loyal and kind father. “I’m fine. My broken leg has been fixed by the doctor sent by the government office.

When I recover, I’ll take the time to go back and see him.”

Ying Tao’s brother hung his head, not daring to look at Ying Tao. “We’ve let you down, sister.”

Madam Yang looked at her son and then at Ying Tao. Thinking of the silver Xiang Xiu had mentioned, she was still tempted.

As long as Ying Tao agreed to sell those fields, she would get more than a hundred taels of silver.

When the time came, she could renovate the house at home and give money to her two grandsons to marry. She could also buy a few acres of fields. With these fields, she was not afraid that no one would support Ying Tao in her old age.

This girl was stubborn. She would coax her back first before talking to her properly.

“Ying Tao, your legs are inconvenient. Your brother and I will bring you back to recuperate for a few days. We’ll send you back when you recover.”

“Hehe!” Ying Tao chuckled and looked at Madam Yang. “Bring me back to recuperate for a few days. Alright! Let me make it clear to you first. I’m sick all over.”

Yingtao pointed at the medicine bags on the dilapidated wooden table in the corner and looked at Madam Yang mockingly. “Do you see those medicine bags? Those are the medicine that the imperial physician sent by the government office prepared for us. These medicines cost a few taels of silver. I want to go back with you. Do you have the money to get the medicine for me? Also, aren’t you afraid of the woman’s disease on me?”

Illness! Madam Yang looked at Ying Tao and thought of what Xiang Xiu had quietly said to her. She shut her mouth.

Ah Lian, Yang Liu, and the others also rushed back to the house.

The people in the central room watched as the women came in like a swarm of bees. They saw mud on their faces and hair as they looked for familiar faces.

The Yang couple no longer recognized Yang Liu, but Yang Liu remembered Yang Da’s hunchback. He was the one who carried her to Liang Village and sold her to the Liu family.

Yang Liu glanced at the Yang couple who chased after her like blood-sucking leeches once they smelled money.

Yang Liu thought to herself that if she couldn’t adopt a child, she would rather give those fields to someone else before she died than give them to this wretched couple.

Elder Madam Yang and her husband looked at the 20 or so women who had squeezed into the house. They looked at the women in front and pretended to be worried. “Yang Liu, Uncle and Aunt are here to see you.”

Ah Lian looked at the sharp-mouthed Yang couple and sneered, “You’re here to see the Yang Liu too? Do you know which one is Yang Liu?”

Yang Liu looked at the two of them and mocked, “That’s right! Which one of us is Yang Liu? Do you recognize her?”

Elder Yang and his wife looked at each other and felt that any one of them could be Yang Liu.

Elder Yang rubbed his hands and smiled awkwardly. “Yang Liu, it’s been so many years. Uncle and Aunt are already old. We can’t think of what you look like. We just heard about you and were worried, so we came to see you.”

“Were you worried? Look at you.” San Qiao chuckled. “How old is Yang Liu? You sold her for money. I think you’re here to see Yang Liu’s silver!”

Madam Yang said anxiously, “Who are you? What right do you have to say that? We’re her uncle and aunt. She’s in trouble now. We’re her family, so we wanted to come and see her!”

Without this family, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. Yang Liu stared at them and smiled mockingly. “You also know that she’s in trouble. What did you bring to see her? Show us and we’ll help you bring them to her.”

Madam Yang Da and her husband stammered, “We left in a hurry. We’ll prepare everything when we return home.”

“Return home?” San Qiao looked at the two of them coldly.

The women looked at the people in the central room with cold eyes. Ah Lian asked loudly, “How much silver did Xiang Xiu take to her mother to make you come to Liang Village during a busy season?”

Elder Madam Yang pointed at Ah Lian unhappily. “What are you talking about? What does it have to do with you that we’re here to see my daughter? Why are you stopping us from seeing her?”

Yang Liu placed her hands on her hips and shouted, “Who’s stopping you? You don’t even know who Yang Liu is, yet you still have the cheek to talk nonsense here. Go somewhere else!”

Elder Yang stared at Yang Liu for a while and pointed at her. “Are you Yang Liu?”

Yang Liu took a step forward and stood in front of Madam Yang. She questioned sternly, “I’m Yang Liu. What’s wrong? Do you think I’m still the four-year-old Yang Liu? Or the Yang Liu who lost her parents and was at the mercy of others? You’re still thinking of eating my flesh and drinking my blood. You made the wrong call, beast.”

“Bitch, I’ll beat you to death.” Elder Yang flew into a rage out of humiliation. He suddenly rushed in front of Yang Liu and raised his hand to hit her.

Yang Liu glared at him. ‘Elder Yang, you beast. You’re the beast who occupied my father’s land and sold his daughter. If you dare to touch a finger of mine, I’ll chop you up..”
