During this daytime at the Liu Family, the atmosphere within the household was exceptionally restless and on edge. A severe family dispute seemed to tear at everyone's nerves. Madam Yu, a woman known for her severity and shrewdness, was in the worst possible mood. At this very critical juncture, her son Liu Cunren was carried back home severely injured. This news was like pouring oil on fire, causing Madam Yu's anger to instantly erupt.
"You good-for-nothing, bringing that woman back—now look at this, the family's most important laborer has been stolen away by her!" Madam Yu's roar echoed through the gloomy sky, every single word piercing like a knife into Liu Cunzhong's ears. He knew full well in his heart that the person Madam Yu hated was not Liu Cunren, but the woman he had brought back—Han Yuling. Although there was a hundred taels of silver to pay for his medical treatment, in Madam Yu's eyes, this was far from enough to appease her fury.
As soon as the escort agency people left, Madam Yu shouted at the two Liu Cunzhong brothers, "Throw him out! My family doesn't keep good-for-nothings." Liu Cunzhong felt a shock in his heart; he knew Madam Yu's approach was far too foolish. Although Liu Cunren was severely injured, once he recovered he could still earn money. If Liu Cunren were thrown out just like that, it would undoubtedly cut off his path to survival, and also sever the Liu Family's financial lifeline.
