Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand

After Old Lady Liu handed three thin indentures to the two women with a flattering face, she could not wait to take the heavy thirty taels of silver from their hands.

She tightly grasped the silver, as if afraid that this glittering wealth would suddenly fly away, and then she shouted triumphantly:

"Liu Qing! Stop sweeping the yard and bring your two sisters to grandma's place. I need you to run errands for something!"

Liu Qing, who was sweeping fallen leaves in the corner of the yard, was startled when he heard the sound. He quickly dropped the broom in his hand, lowered his head, trembled and shrugged his thin shoulders, and quickly walked towards Old Lady Liu.

Following behind her were Liu Man and Liu Yun, who were also trembling with fear and looked terrified.

The three of them came to Old Lady Liu and timidly called out in unison, "Grandma..."

Old Lady Liu didn't even look at them. She just stretched out her dry fingers, pointed at the two women casually, and said in a rough voice:

"See? These two came all the way from the city. They are our grandma's relatives!

They came in a hurry this time and had no time to prepare any gifts.

Look, they have to go to town later, you three girls should go with them and help get some things!"

These words sound full of loopholes, and even coaxing a child seems so perfunctory.

But Old Lady Liu knew everything clearly.

——Given the cowardly, incompetent and timid nature of the three Liu Qing sisters, how could they dare to refuse his request?

So, as for this excuse, of course, you can just make up any excuse you can!

When the two women heard Old Lady Liu's irrelevant remarks, they could not help but look at each other and exchanged glances full of contempt and disdain.

Then, the two turned around again, forcing a seemingly friendly smile on their faces, looking down at the pitiful Liu Qing sisters in front of them, and asked softly:

"Would you like to come with us to town?"

Liu Qing didn't even have time to think about it, and blurted out without hesitation: "We are willing!"

Her voice was firm and decisive, as if the decision had already taken root in her heart.

At the same time, Liu Man and Liu Yun, who were standing aside, also nodded vigorously to show their agreement.

Both of them had bright eyes, revealing anticipation and excitement.

People who don’t know might think that they were so happy because they could go to town.

The two women looked at each other, then smiled at Old Lady Liu and said, "Now that things have been settled, let's get ready to leave."

Old Lady Liu smiled until her eyes were almost narrowed into slits, and nodded repeatedly in response: "Okay."

She looked at Liu Qing and said, "Qing girl, you three sisters must follow these two aunts closely.

You must be obedient and don't run around, do you hear me?"

"Got it, grandma! Don't worry, I will take good care of my two younger sisters." Liu Qing promised.

She was so happy at the moment, but because she was still in the Liu family, the play had to go on, so she could only suppress her inner joy and try not to make her expression too obvious.

Liu Man held Liu Yun's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly. She looked at Old Lady Liu with eyes full of timidity and anxiety, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito:

"Grandma, don't worry! We will definitely listen to our sister and stay by her side. We will never run around."

At this time, Zhao Li was squatting behind the simple fence, covering her mouth tightly with her hands, for fear of making any sound.

She opened her eyes wide, staring at everything happening in front of her without blinking. Tears had already blurred her vision and kept flowing down her cheeks.

If these three young daughters needed protection, she would really want to rush out immediately and fight to the death with those hateful Liu family members.

But reason told her not to do that because the children still needed her.

The two women, each holding a girl, walked slowly towards the courtyard gate with Liu Qing.

Seeing that they were about to step out of the yard, Zhao Li quickly lowered her head, huddled her body tighter, and completely hid herself behind the fence.

Time passed minute by minute, until Zhao Li was sure that they had gone far away and could no longer hear any sound, then she carefully raised her head.

She looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, as if she wanted to expel all the pain and grievances in her heart with this breath.

Then she slowly stood up, dusted herself off, and walked out of her hiding place with firm steps.

The three daughters had already left, and now it was her turn to perform.
