Chapter 181 – Feeling bad (4)

“Can we not talk about that?’ Li Mo turned her to face him and look at her red eyes. He seriously said, “Even though Big Aunt said those words, you should know that my brothers and I never thought of you that way. Haven’t we been living together like a family during the past several days? Don’t bring up the issue of purchasing and selling in the future, okay? When I hear those words, it makes my heart ache.”

Li Man was somewhat stunned. His eyes were full of sympathy and guilt. She felt touched. “You… feel bad… for me?”

“En.” Li Mo nodded. She was such a wonderful woman. How could he not feel bad that she went through the experience of being sold?

“You.. care?” As she looked at his eyes, Li Man felt as if the pebbles clogging her heart was being moved away, one by one.

“En.” Seeing that her expression had slightly improved, Li Mo sighed in relief. He continued, “Actually, Big Aunt is just sharp-tongued. Her heart isn’t bad. She’s been very caring towards my brothers and me during the past several years, especially Little Five. She treats him like her own son. It’s just that… what happened to our parents left a shadow in her heart. She’s always been brooding over my dad’s death. She’s afraid -“

He didn’t continue voicing his thoughts and only looked at Li Man.

“Afraid of what?” Li Man curiously asked.

Li Mo’s voice was very soft. Sounding powerless, he said, “She’s afraid we’re going to follow our dad’s path.”

“Huh?” Li Man felt even more confused. “What path?”

“Never mind.” Li Mo ambiguously answered. The things that happened in his parent’s generation, so much time had already passed, he didn’t want to mention it.

Li Man stared at him. Suddenly, a bold question popped up in her mind. She hesitantly asked, “You guys… how many dads do you have?”

“Three.” Li Mo didn’t think this question was a big deal. Most families in the Goddess’s Ravine were like this.

“Three?” However, Li Man was shocked even though she had expected this answer.

At this time, Hehua ran back here and said to Li Mo, “Older brother Mo, Aunty wants you to come over. She has something that she wants to say to you.”

“Go tell her that I’ll be over soon,” Li Mo ordered.

“Oh.” Seeing how close the two of them were standing while talking, Hehua practically shot fire out of her eyes.

Li Mo saw that she was leaning on the doorframe and not leaving. His eyes turned cold. “Why are you still standing there?”

“Oh, I came over here to cook. Aunty said that she doesn’t dare to bother that woman and told me to come here.” Hehua resentfully stared at Li Man.

Li Man treated her hostility like it was empty air. She felt much better after Li Mo’s recent attempt at comforting her. “You can go. I’ll go to my hut to wash my face.”

“That…” Li Mo was still concerned.

A smile stretched out on Li Man’s face. “I’m not angry.” When she carefully thought about it, Li Mo had sided with her earlier. Moreover, he had been very protective of her in front of everyone else.

“En.” Li Mo put down his worries. “Alright, I’ll go over there first.”

“Okay.” Li Man left the kitchen with him, then split off to go to her hut.

Li Xiangyu, who had been pulled to the eastern hut by Little Five and her younger sister, gradually calmed down. From her perspective, although she had gained the upper hand during the earlier incident, she clearly understood that Li Man had a bigger hold on her oldest nephew’s heart.
