Chapter 574: 574: Qingming Festival Ancestor Worship (3)

Liu Sisi didn’t say much, just walked quickly forward.

The large group of people returning naturally alarmed those arguing above, all of their words suddenly stopped.

As everyone approached, Liu Sisi glanced at their faces and gave a light laugh.

“Father, it’s quite windy outside the courtyard, don’t catch a cold standing here! Let’s go inside!”

She never mentioned anything about Ms. Wang.

“Alright, alright! Let’s go in.”

Elderly Mr. Di’s expression eased, looking at the full water bucket his mood suddenly improved: “You caught so many so quickly? It seems everyone will have a great meal tonight.”

Little Ying, who was nearby, was delighted!

She happily hopped to Elderly Mr. Di’s side, lifting her head proudly: “Isn’t it! Grandfather, it’s a shame you didn’t go and see today, brother might have caught the biggest fish, this black fish was caught by him. In the afternoon… ”

As people talked, they unburdened themselves and walked towards the courtyard. However, Ms. Zhao and Ms. Wang, who were standing outside the courtyard, were unintentionally forgotten.

Ms. Zhao’s face darkened, even Ms. Wang’s expression changed. She hurriedly elbowed Ms. Zhao and gestured with her eyes. Ms. Zhao could no longer hold back and shouted.

“Wait! Liu Sisi, you killed my grandchild, and you just want to leave like this?”

Liu Sisi retracted her foot that was stepping into the courtyard gate, turned her head and looked back, lowering her eyes to hide the mockery inside.

“Mother-in-law, what you said is wrong!”

Liu Sisi gave a faint smile: “If sister-in-law wants to ask Sisi for compensation, Sisi will definitely not refuse and will make amends as required. But when you say that, isn’t there a lack of confidence in your words?”

Ms. Zhao was almost unable to respond.

If it weren’t for her dead sister-in-law’s reluctance to come here, where would she be embarrassed like this?

“You took advantage of Ms. Xin’s honesty and easily bullied her, so you deliberately harmed her, causing her miscarriage. You’re such a treacherous person!”

Ms. Zhao couldn’t hold back and shouted again.

“Huh! Is that true?”

Liu Sisi said coldly and turned around again, stepping directly into the gate.

Even if she feels guilty and regretful towards Ms. Xin in her heart, that’s only about Ms. Xin. After all, Ms. Xin lost her child while trying to save her. But Ms. Zhao wants to use this to negotiate terms with her, which is simply a beautiful dream!

“You! … Liu Sisi, don’t think you’re so great just because you became Mrs. Sub-Captain! I’m telling you, no matter what, I, Zhao, am still your mother-in-law! If you dare to be disloyal and unfilial, I will spread the word everywhere and even appeal to Lord Imperial Envoy!”

Ms. Zhao’s words became increasingly joyful, as if she had already seen Liu Sisi being successfully driven out of the Di Family, and she couldn’t help but dance.

“Go to the Imperial Envoy and report me? Hehe.”

These words couldn’t help but make Liu Sisi laugh out loud!

She turned back and hurriedly took two steps closer to Ms. Zhao, looking down on her with a face full of pity.

“Mother-in-law, when I, Sisi, call you mother-in-law here, it’s for the sake of the deceased mother-in-law that I keep you in the Di Family. Don’t mistake my generosity for your arrogant attitude. At that time, I, Liu Sisi, made you kneel down in front of the whole village, at the grave of the deceased mother-in-law, and pray for mercy; today, I, Liu Sisi, can make you kneel down at my feet, begging for my forgiveness.”

These words made Ms. Zhao jump up immediately, pointing at Liu Sisi’s nose and cursing, “Don’t even think about it! Liu Sisi, stop daydreaming! I, Zhao, have been fooled by you once. Do you think you can fool me again?”

“I, Liu Sisi, never speak nonsense or big words! Of course, you can choose not to believe me, but you will bear the consequences!”

These words were Di Yelei’s favorite when he got angry. At this moment, Liu Sisi borrowed them.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the finger near her face, “Also, I, Liu Sisi, don’t like people pointing fingers at me! It makes me want to destroy them. Hmm?”

A cold snort from her nose startled Ms. Zhao!

She quickly withdrew her hand and hid her right hand behind her back. Suddenly realizing that this action was a sign of weakness to Liu Sisi, she didn’t care about anything else and started cursing!

On the other hand, Ms. Wang, who had been silent all the time, was worried!

This old woman had originally agreed to engage in diplomacy first and then resort to force. However, within a few sentences, she was frightened by the opponent and lost her composure. The tasks that needed to be done were not handled properly. Soon it would be Qingming Festival, and if their family members couldn’t recognize their masters and return to their clan, wouldn’t they become wandering ghosts?

After all, this was all Liu Sisi’s fault in front of them. If it weren’t for her, how could they have ended up in such a situation?

But since they were at the mercy of others, they had no choice but to bow their heads!

At this thought, Ms. Wang tried to muster a smile on her face: “Third Sister-in-law, this matter is your fault. No matter what, the mother-in-law is your elder. How can you speak to her like that?”

“Elders should behave like elders to earn the respect of juniors. If an elder doesn’t act like an elder, and a junior still goes along with the elder’s wishes, that would truly be unfilial! Moreover, it would harm the elder by making them the target of public criticism. Mother-in-law, do you think my words make sense?”

Liu Sisi smiled lightly and shallowly. Without waiting for Ms. Zhao to speak, she turned her head to look at Ms. Wang and carefully sized her up and down. It wasn’t until Ms. Wang began to feel uncomfortable under her gaze that she spoke again.

“I say, Eldest Sister-in-law, who are you? You’re interfering in other people’s family affairs. Aren’t you overextending yourself?”

Ms. Wang was angered by this: “Third Sister-in-law, you…”

“Who is the Third Sister-in-law? It seems that Ye Lei only has one big brother who is thousands of miles away and a younger brother. Is it possible you have mistaken me for someone else?”

Liu Sisi smirked at the corner of her mouth and gave the two of them a cold glance.

Watching the two dumbfounded and speechless people, she turned around and went back into the courtyard and closed the room door.

If you don’t want to save face, then I don’t need to give you any either!

Soon after, a few people went to the opening of the well and began to sort out the small fish and shrimps they brought back. Everyone was in high spirits and buzzing with excitement.

Not long after, Ms. Gao walked over to Liu Sisi and whispered in her ear, causing Liu Sisi to involuntarily look up towards the courtyard entrance.

“What’s wrong, Sisi? Did something happen?” Guihua asked curiously from the side.

“It’s nothing, just some whimsical people causing a commotion at the entrance. Dad has already gone over to handle it, so I won’t go join the fun.” Liu Sisi casually replied.
