Chapter 201: 199: Cut! Your apology is worth two maces.
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
Liu Sisi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Zhang Peng glanced at the crowd: âSo, are you planning to rest on the mountain for one night?â
âNot really, but⦠I canât just go down the mountain like this, right?â
Di Yelei seemed very helpless and sighed deeply: âAfter all, she is my little sister. She is pregnant now, and leaving her on the mountain is not something a humane third brother could do!â
âThatâs true.â
It really wouldnât be appropriate to just leave her on the mountain like that! Zhang Peng thought for a moment and wondered: âIsnât Yuan Mengbai still on the mountain? Canât he take care of her?â
âHe is, he is indeed. But my little sister saidâ¦â Di Yelei hesitated to continue.
âYour little sister said that she wants you to accompany her so that she wonât be afraid. She even cried and refused to let go, right?â
Liu Sisi spoke softly and suddenly laughed: âFine! Tonight, weâll stay on the mountain. Weâll both stay with her.â
She wanted to see what other tricks Di Ruoning could try.
âIâve seen shameless people before, but Iâve never seen anyone as shameless as her! What business do you have taking care of your married little sister, third brother?â
Guihuaâs anger still hadnât subsided! She couldnât help but mutter to herself.
âWhat kind of married younger aunt would treat her new sister-in-law like this? She didnât treat her like family at all. If she had any decency, she wouldnât have been so ruthless. She even deliberately bumped into her sister-in-law, trying to frame her! If anything happens to the baby now, itâs justâ¦â
âCough cough⦠Guihua, say less!â
Zhang Peng beside her urgently scolded her.
Di Yeleiâs eyes darkened as he clenched his fists tightly.
He understood this logic well, but his little sister was like one of the few rays of sunlight in his dark childhood. Itâs not so easy to give up on herâ¦
âBut Sisi, sheâ¦â
Guihua beside her wanted to say something but was directly held by Liu Sisi.
âSister Guihua, when itâs time to go down the mountain later, please bother you and Brother Zhang to send Xuanâer and YingEr home. Tonight, Iâll have to trouble you to help take care of the two children. Weâll stay on the mountain and see how my little sisterâs body is before making any decisions.â
Guihua initially wanted to persuade her again, but Zhang Peng beside her coughed heavily and disapprovingly, causing Guihua to swallow her words back down.
âAlright! You need to take good care of yourself. You donât have to worry about the children; Iâll take good care of them.â
âMomâ can YingEr stay here too?â
YingEr suddenly plunged into Liu Sisiâs arms, pouted, and said tearfully.
âYingEr, be good! Mom will come back with dad early tomorrow morning. YingEr must listen to Aunt Guihua and her elder brother, understand?â
âNo! YingEr wants mom, if mom doesnât leave, YingEr wonât leave either, *sobs*â¦â
As YingEr spoke, she leaned against Liu Sisiâs chest and began to cry.
âListen, be goodâ¦â
Liu Sisi hurriedly hugged YingEr, and couldnât help but have red-rimmed eyes.
The scene made everyone around them feel sad.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Di Xuan quickly stepped forward and took YingErâs hand: âYingEr, come to your elder brother. Mom and dad need to accompany your little aunt. Thereâs a little sister in your little auntâs stomach, mom will be back tomorrow morning.â
âMom, will you really come back? Arenât you going to abandon me like YingErâs birth mother, wu wuâ¦â
âNo, I promise YingErâs mother that I will come back! YingEr, be good and obedient! Ah?â
Before leaving, she carefully wiped the tears off YingErâs face and handed her the fortune pig she had bought for her.
âHere! This is a fortune pig, and you can store copper coins in its belly. When you take it home, itâs like your mom is going home with you! Think about it, has your mom ever lied to you when she said she would come back?â
After hearing these words, YingEr finally stopped crying, holding the fortune pig in her arms: âMom, Iâll wait for you at home â wu ââ
âAlright, go quickly! Be goodâ¦â
Before leaving, Guihua pulled Liu Sisi to one side: âI can see that Di Ruoning is making a fuss about this. You must be careful not to fall into her trap! Sheâs not an easy person to deal with! Just remember, the daily life youâre living is for the two of you. In the end, outsiders are still outsiders!â
âHmm, Sister Guihua, thank you.â
Liu Sisi sincerely thanked her, and no wonder! Only someone who genuinely cares for you would tell you such things.
Watching Zhang Peng and his family gradually walk away with the three children, Liu Sisi finally took a deep breath and turned to face Di Yelei.
âSo! What did your little sister say?â
Di Yelei raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked up at her with amusement and said, âWhat else could she say? She is my little sister, you are my wife. Who would lie to whom, especially knowing your characters?â
As he spoke, he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders: âSisi! Do you really think Iâm the kind of person who doesnât care about justice?â
âEveryone in your family is like that!â
As she spoke, Liu Sisi turned around and sat directly next to the stone lion on the railing, facing him sideways.
âAlthough my little sister is crying and making a fuss, I can tell from Meng Baiâs expression that he probably doesnât believe it either.â
Di Yelei let out a deep sigh: âShe wasnât like this before. Maybe itâs because sheâs pregnant that sheâs become more delicate. Anyway, youâre her Third Sister-in-law. Just indulge her for a few days, and itâll be fine when she goes back to the Yuan Family.â
âDonât worry! I wonât put you in a difficult position. Iâll just bear the humiliation for these two or three days.â
Liu Sisi spoke simply, but secretly she sneered.
She still remembered what YingEr had overheard â Di Ruoning planned to deal with her at the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the day, she tolerated everything, just to see what kind of trap Di Ruoning had planned!
However, judging from the current situation, her plan to deal with herself was most likely revealed!
Di Yeleiâs face was full of anxiety!
He quickly grasped Liu Sisiâs hand and pulled it to his chest, looking at her firmly and persistently.
âSisi, I know that itâs my little sisterâs fault, and I apologize to you on her behalf.â
âTch! Is your apology worth two maces?â
Liu Sisi turned her back on him and looked around at the stone lion on the railing, refusing to look at him.
âSisiâ¦â
Di Yelei anxiously straightened her body, gazing into her eyes: âIf youâre angry, hit me hard until youâre satisfied. But please donât hold your anger inside. If something happens to you, the one who would suffer the most would be me, your husband.â
âIs that what you hope for, that something bad would happen to me?â
âNo! I swear by heaven and earth, Sisi, I absolutely didnât mean that! Sisi, I⦠I meanâ¦â
Di Yelei was so anxious that his words became incoherent: âIsnât it because Iâm afraid youâll be angry and ignore me?â
