Chapter 410: 410: Zhi’er Searches for His Child, Sisi Encounters Trouble
Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family
Liu Sisi couldnât help but stop being angry, turning over and sitting up at the head of the bed, staring at him.
âYou always say youâre busy with official business, but itâs the Lunar New Year now, what official business could be so urgent at this moment? You should find a better excuse. And what official business requires you to go out in the middle of the night and come back secretly at midnight? If you donât want me to make wild guesses, then tell me the truth.â
Di Yelei also looked helpless: âSisi, I really amâ¦â
She suddenly interrupted him and covered her ears.
âI donât want to hear it, I donât want to hear it, I donât want to listen! If you donât want to tell me the truth, just shut up. You can talk when you think it through and want to tell me! Humph!â
After finishing, she covered her ears and stopped talking, Di Yelei looked at her helplessly and didnât say a word either.
Liu Sisi waited for a long time but did not get an explanation from him.
Out of anger, she went back to her bed head, and suddenly pulled the quilt over herself.
Di Yelei sat there for a while but eventually didnât say anything.
Early the next morning, Zuo Xingyuâs sudden visit broke the peace of the Di family, and Liu Zhiâer was also panicked and in a hurry.
âOriginally, I from the Zuo family intended to wait until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year to leave, but I thought about the official work starting on the 15th, itâs better to set off earlier. I just donât know if you are ready?â
âWe have no problems on our side, I⦠Iâm ready and can leave at any time. Itâs just that Iâm sorry to trouble Constable Zuo to help.â
Before Liu Sisi could speak, Liu Zhiâer stood up next to her and respectfully saluted Zuo Xingyu.
âSecond Sister, whyâ¦?â
Liu Sisi hurriedly tried to stop her, but before she could finish, Liu Zhiâer shook her head.
âLittle Sister, you donât have to stop me, youâre also a mother now. You should understand my feelings. No matter what, as long as thereâs a glimmer of hope, I wonât give up looking for Er Mao and San Mao!â
Her determination was astonishing, shocking Liu Sisi and making her understand her resolve.
âFine, I wonât try to persuade you anymore. Just be careful on the road!â
The last sentence, Liu Sisi whispered into Liu Zhiâerâs ear.
The man beside her was despicable! She didnât trust him to care for her Second Sister at all!
Liu Zhiâer obviously didnât think the same way and quickly packed up her things and walked out of the room with a luggage in her arms.
âSisi, the journey ahead is long, and itâs not convenient for me to take Da Mao, so Iâll trouble you to take care of him.â Liu Zhiâer reluctantly stroked Da Maoâs head.
Da Mao seemed to sense that Liu Zhiâer was going to leave, and he clung to her clothes desperately, unwilling to let go.
He called out softly, âMom, momâ¦â
âDa Mao, be good! Mom is going to find your younger brothers Er Mao and San Mao. You must behave and listen to your young aunt and not cause her any trouble, okay?â
Liu Zhiâer was especially reluctant to part with Da Mao, and she couldnât help but hold him and rub her face against his.
âDonât leave, mom⦠Donât leave Da Maoâ¦â
Da Mao sobbed softly, surprisingly speaking such a long string of words, causing tears to fall from Liu Zhiâerâs eyes!
âDa Mao, be good! Da Mao is the most obedient. Mom canât bear to leave Da Mao either! Butâ¦Mom has to go and find your second and third brothers, have you forgotten? Be good!â
After speaking, she forcibly held back her tears and pushed Da Mao, who was clinging tightly to her clothes, into Liu Sisiâs arms. She then quickly turned around, picked up her baggage, and rushed out of the room.
âDonâtâ¦Mom!â¦â
Da Mao cried, and suddenly struggled, kicking Liu Sisiâs stomach. The pain caused Liu Sisi to scream and inadvertently let go of Da Mao.
Da Mao, not caring about anything else, directly ran out of the main entrance and searched around, only to see his motherâs figure quickly running down the hill.
Not waiting for anything else, he shouted and quickly chased after her.
Liu Zhiâer, who was walking and wiping her tears along the way, turned her head when she heard Da Maoâs cry. She saw Da Mao not only not stopping but running even faster!
âDonât chase! Your mother is going to find your brothers for you, be obedient!â
Di Yeleiâs long limbs allowed him to catch up quickly, grabbing Da Mao and scolding him. Da Mao didnât care, and turned around, biting down hard on Di Yeleiâs hand.
âOuch! Let go!â
The sudden pain made Di Yelei cry out. He reached out and pinched Da Maoâs chin, finally freeing his hand as fresh blood oozed from the deep teeth marks.
Inside the courtyard, Liu Sisi was clenching her stomach in pain, almost unable to stand straight, as beads of sweat slid down her body.
âIt hurts so much! My stomach⦠it hurts so muchâ¦â
Her body swayed and fell, feeling a warm stream flowing from underneath her, her vision darkening as she crumbled to the ground.
âMom! Mom, whatâs wrong with you? Mom, please donât scare me, wuwuâ¦â
YingEr was the first to notice Liu Sisiâs condition, and started crying loudly. Di Xuan and Elderly Mr. Di quickly rushed over, trying to support Liu Sisiâs body.
âOh! Blood! Why is there blood on momâs bodyâ¦â
A chaotic noise erupted as her original yellow dress quickly became stained with the bright red blood, so glaringly red!
âSisi! -â
Di Yeleiâs shocked cry was the last thing Liu Sisi remembered.
In a daze, it seemed someone was talking by her ear, â⦠we need to prepare as soon as possible⦠the adult and the children may not be safe⦠if necessary, thereâs no choice but to choose one of the two.â There were also figures swaying, making it impossible for her to open her eyes, and she soon fell into darkness.
When she woke up again, she felt utterly weak, especially in her eyelids, as if they weighed a ton.
The lost consciousness gradually returned to her mind in a groggy state, and she suddenly remembered!
The person speaking in her sleep, if it wasnât Ms. Xin who secretly communicated with her, then who was it?
It was Ms. Xin who always made a secret gesture at her! This realization made Liu Sisiâs heart jolt, and she instantly woke up completely from her sleep. She looked around and saw no one.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she carefully covered her lower abdomen. Waves of cramping pain came from her belly.
Her child! Was her child gone?
She clutched her stomach tightly, not daring to think, and not daring to do anything. A countless number of regrets surged in her heart.
