Chapter 234: 232: City Gate Catching Fire Affecting Bystander Fish, Di Cheng’s Way Out

The three children by his side suddenly burst into tears, rushing forward to hug his arm and thigh.

Ms. Zhao suddenly froze in place, the muscles on her face contorting for a moment, she then collapsed onto the stool, looking completely lost.

She kept murmuring to herself: “How could this happen? How could it happen…how could it…how could it…”

Liu Sisi was also very shocked!

Di Ruoning had actually gone mad!

What exactly happened between Ye Lei and Ruoning in the small wooden house that day? Was all this related to Ye Lei, herself, and those bandits?

Sisi understood the reasons why Ruoning would hire someone to deal with Di Yelei!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Could it be that the reason she went mad was the same reason?

Buddha said: there are eight sufferings in life, and the most painful one is seeking but not getting.

Just because of seeking but not getting, there are countless people who eventually take risks!

That Di Ruoning has come to this point, although it’s all self-inflicted, it’s indeed pitiable, but also really repulsive and despicable!

Indeed, people who are pitiful must also have pitiful things about them!

When she looked inside again, the several people who had been talking inside had disappeared.

Yuan Mengbai and the three children were also gone.

“What are you doing? Hiding here and not helping, eating and drinking all day for nothing, are you asking to be beaten?”

The reproachful voice of Ms. Zhao came over. Liu Sisi turned her head and saw Ms. Zhao scolding Di Wei who was hiding and peeping on the side.

Di Wei stuck out her little tongue and said nothing, quickly running away.

“Are you happy now? You’ve driven my Ruoning mad, and she’s lost the baby. All of this is your doing, it’s all your fault!”

Ms. Zhao glanced at Liu Sisi and whispered words of rebuke at her.

Liu Sisi uttered a “tsk” sound: “Tsk! What has it got to do with me? Why don’t you ask your beloved son-in-law why Ruoning would hire someone to kill?”

This whole thing has nothing to do with her from start to finish! Why would they always try to involve her!

Indeed, as the saying goes, ‘a fire in the city gate often harms the innocent fish.’

Ms. Zhao stared blankly for a while, as a mother, how could she not understand her daughter’s thoughts?

“You, you stop talking nonsense…” She rebuked with a somewhat strong tone.

Liu Sisi took two steps and whispered into her ear: “Do I speak falsely, don’t you know the answer in your heart? Mom, can you guess, what was your dear son-in-law thinking when he witnessed that scene?”

After she finished, she ignored the stupefied Zhao family on the spot, walked straight past her, and put back on a smile to the courtyard.

Outside in the courtyard, the banquet had already begun to start.

“Everyone, quickly take your seats. Today is a happy day, so don’t be shy! Sit down, quickly sit down, we’re ready to start the feast…”

According to tradition, the first round of seating at the wedding banquet naturally belonged to the bride’s family.

But the bride had only one older brother who came to see her off. Besides, there were only two picked up bearers, the sedan bearers were people sent by the bride’s side. The bride only brought a not-so-big baggage, so the number of people from the bride’s family could not even fill a table.

With no choice left, they had to invite the groom’s family and friends to fill the eight tables for the first round of seating. This was a banquet where as soon as one group finished eating, they would clean up the tableware and set the table again to continue the feast. The wedding had finally entered its most important phase, eating and drinking!

Liu Sisi hurriedly returned to Di Cheng’s room.

Inside the room, Di Cheng’s face lit up with excitement!

Liu Sisi glanced at Di Yelei, who was beaming at her with a nod, obviously indicating that the matter had been settled.

“Di Cheng, has Ye Lei already informed you about everything?”

Liu Sisi pondered for a moment and decided it was better to clarify everything at the start: “Third Aunt also helps others look after their shop. Your Third Uncle has been injured and Third Aunt cannot leave him, so she is looking for someone to help with the shopkeeping. The exact duration of this is uncertain, and once the owner of the shop returns, that would be the day you leave. Have you thought it over clearly?”

“Third Aunt, you are fully aware of the situation at the old house. Cheng’er has thought it through.”

Di Cheng excitedly clenched his fists, repeating: “Even if it’s just a few days of relief, Cheng’er is willing to go! I would go mad if I had to stay in the old house any longer! Third Aunt, don’t worry, Cheng’er will take the work seriously and will not let Third Uncle and Third Aunt down!”

Liu Sisi glanced at Di Yelei, who nodded at her. She relaxed her expression and smiled at Di Cheng.

“That’s good! I trust you entirely, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you. Later on, your Third Uncle will personally talk to your dad. For now, you must keep your cool and not show any signs of unrest, your mother… ahem.”

Realizing that it’s not right to speak ill of someone’s face, Liu Sisi immediately stopped speaking.

The smile on Di Cheng’s face faded, and a wave of bitterness surfaced: “Third Aunt, Cheng’er understands. In that case, Cheng’er will go out to help.”

“Okay, go ahead!”

Watching Di Cheng leave, the couple both let out a sigh.

“This child has been held back by the old house! I hope this step will help him.” Di Yelei seemed somewhat weary.

“Ye Lei, I saw Yuan Mengbai earlier. He…”

Liu Sisi quickly told him what she had heard.

In the end, she also sighed, “I never expected that, Ruo Ning’s child ultimately couldn’t be saved, and she even….” She became mad!

“Maybe it’s better this way…”

Di Yelei remained silent for a long while, then suddenly uttered these words before closing his eyes and falling deeply asleep.

Liu Sisi pulled up a blanket to cover him, secretly sighing, what Ye Lei must be feeling inside, it surely mustn’t be pleasant, right?

The wedding was originally prepared with thirty tables, but by the third round, only the cooks and the hosts’ family remained, apart from the three tables still drinking.

There were only seventeen tables of guests for what was originally a thirty-table banquet. Everyone who came to the wedding was whispering about the bride’s past. Ms. Zhao’s face was even longer than a horse’s from all the pointing and whispering.

Looking at the time, Liu Sisi carefully helped Di Yelei to a seat at the table.

“Sisi! Here, this way!”

Guihua hurriedly called out to her.

Liu Sisi smiled, obediently going over to sit beside her.

As this was the last batch of people eating, all who sat at the table were fellow villagers who had come to help with the work.

“Auntie!”

Following Liu Sisi, YingEr sweetly smiled at Guihua.

“Ah, our dear YingEr is so good! Come, sit next to your auntie, and I’ll serve you some delicious food.”

Guihua conveniently helped YingEr to sit between herself and Liu Sisi.

Once everyone was seated, they naturally began to eat.

“You should eat more. You’ve lost so much weight recently because you’ve been busy looking after Brother Ye Lei,” Guihua served food to Liu Sisi and YingEr.
