Chapter 14 - 014. Search
Liu Shouren was fundamentally opposed to the idea of taking his pregnant sister out in the middle of the night. Although advocating science and fighting all kinds of feudal superstitions were encouraged, these thoughts and cultures had been passed down for thousands of years. How could they just be completely disregarded because of a mere slogan? Especially when they were heading to places like graveyards, and his sister was with child.
But his sister’s eyes were brimming with tears, with such pitiful yet persistent gaze fixed on the two brothers. Whenever anyone tried to persuade her, she would respond with infinite sorrow, "I am also a part of the Liu family, and I want to contribute to the future prosperity and safety of our family. If big brother and second brother keep blocking me like this, are they treating me like water thrown out, completely an outsider now?"
When his own sister became this pitiful, how could someone like him who had a protective attribute towards his sister resist it?
Fine, if she wanted to come along out of worry, let her come! Just treat it as the three siblings accompanying each other. Anyway, the parents wouldn’t have any reason to object. Liu Shouren helplessly nodded, "Well, since you insist on coming, just follow along. Once you get there, you’ll understand that big brother not letting you come is entirely for your own good."
"Alright, dear little sister, stop crying now. Big brother has agreed to take you. Hurry, put on thicker clothes, it’s cold and damp at night!" Long having surrendered to his sister’s pitiful demeanor, Liu Shouyi was now endlessly coaxing and persuading. He suddenly smelled the faint scent of ginger on her sleeve. Clearly, this little rascal had cleverly used another trick to manipulate her two brothers!
No matter how touchy Liu Second Brother could be, often erupting into full-blown acts if provoked, he couldn’t be nearly as fierce with his only sister. With half indulgence and half helplessness, he pat her head, "You little rascal, don’t pull this trick again next time? It’s not only clever but also too eye-catching. If there’s anything, just talk with me and big brother. As long as it’s something we can do, we’ll surely not let you down. Don’t end up harming yourself anymore!
You’re about to become a mother. How can you not take care of yourself..."
Though feeling embarrassed being caught and scolded like a child despite being older, ultimately she managed to persuade her brothers to agree to let her participate. If it meant avoiding the Liu family’s tragedies, she’d do anything, even if it involved ginger, or chili pepper without batting an eye!
Changing the family’s fate starts tonight!
Let the misfortune of family destruction stay away, this time, the Liu family not only needs to safely weather this storm but also rise powerfully in the era of reform and opening up, leveraging the precious resources preserved.
