Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 201: 199: Cut! Your apology is worth two maces.

Liu Sisi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhang Peng glanced at the crowd: “So, are you planning to rest on the mountain for one night?”

“Not really, but… I can’t just go down the mountain like this, right?”

Di Yelei seemed very helpless and sighed deeply: “After 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!”

“That’s true.”

It really wouldn’t be appropriate to just leave her on the mountain like that! Zhang Peng thought for a moment and wondered: “Isn’t Yuan Mengbai still on the mountain? Can’t he take care of her?”

“He is, he is indeed. But my little sister said…” Di Yelei hesitated to continue.

“Your little sister said that she wants you to accompany her so that she won’t be afraid. She even cried and refused to let go, right?”

Liu Sisi spoke softly and suddenly laughed: “Fine! Tonight, we’ll stay on the mountain. We’ll both stay with her.”

She wanted to see what other tricks Di Ruoning could try.

“I’ve seen shameless people before, but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as her! What business do you have taking care of your married little sister, third brother?”

Guihua’s anger still hadn’t subsided! She couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

“What kind of married younger aunt would treat her new sister-in-law like this? She didn’t treat her like family at all. If she had any decency, she wouldn’t have been so ruthless. She even deliberately bumped into her sister-in-law, trying to frame her! If anything happens to the baby now, it’s just…”

“Cough cough… Guihua, say less!”

Zhang Peng beside her urgently scolded her.

Di Yelei’s 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. It’s not so easy to give up on her…

“But Sisi, she…”

Guihua beside her wanted to say something but was directly held by Liu Sisi.

“Sister Guihua, when it’s time to go down the mountain later, please bother you and Brother Zhang to send Xuan’er and YingEr home. Tonight, I’ll have to trouble you to help take care of the two children. We’ll stay on the mountain and see how my little sister’s body is before making any decisions.”

Guihua initially wanted to persuade her again, but Zhang Peng beside her coughed heavily and disapprovingly, causing Guihua to swallow her words back down.

“Alright! You need to take good care of yourself. You don’t have to worry about the children; I’ll take good care of them.”

“Mom— can YingEr stay here too?”

YingEr suddenly plunged into Liu Sisi’s arms, pouted, and said tearfully.

“YingEr, be good! Mom will come back with dad early tomorrow morning. YingEr must listen to Aunt Guihua and her elder brother, understand?”

“No! YingEr wants mom, if mom doesn’t leave, YingEr won’t leave either, *sobs*…”

As YingEr spoke, she leaned against Liu Sisi’s chest and began to cry.

“Listen, be good…”

Liu Sisi hurriedly hugged YingEr, and couldn’t help but have red-rimmed eyes.

The scene made everyone around them feel sad.

Di Xuan quickly stepped forward and took YingEr’s hand: “YingEr, come to your elder brother. Mom and dad need to accompany your little aunt. There’s a little sister in your little aunt’s stomach, mom will be back tomorrow morning.”

“Mom, will you really come back? Aren’t you going to abandon me like YingEr’s birth mother, wu wu…”

“No, I promise YingEr’s mother that I will come back! YingEr, be good and obedient! Ah?”

Before leaving, she carefully wiped the tears off YingEr’s face and handed her the fortune pig she had bought for her.

“Here! This is a fortune pig, and you can store copper coins in its belly. When you take it home, it’s 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?”

After hearing these words, YingEr finally stopped crying, holding the fortune pig in her arms: “Mom, I’ll wait for you at home — wu —”

“Alright, go quickly! Be good…”

Before leaving, Guihua pulled Liu Sisi to one side: “I can see that Di Ruoning is making a fuss about this. You must be careful not to fall into her trap! She’s not an easy person to deal with! Just remember, the daily life you’re living is for the two of you. In the end, outsiders are still outsiders!”

“Hmm, Sister Guihua, thank you.”

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.

“So! What did your little sister say?”

Di Yelei raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked up at her with amusement and said, “What else could she say? She is my little sister, you are my wife. Who would lie to whom, especially knowing your characters?”

As he spoke, he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders: “Sisi! Do you really think I’m the kind of person who doesn’t care about justice?”

“Everyone in your family is like that!”

As she spoke, Liu Sisi turned around and sat directly next to the stone lion on the railing, facing him sideways.

“Although my little sister is crying and making a fuss, I can tell from Meng Bai’s expression that he probably doesn’t believe it either.”

Di Yelei let out a deep sigh: “She wasn’t like this before. Maybe it’s because she’s pregnant that she’s become more delicate. Anyway, you’re her Third Sister-in-law. Just indulge her for a few days, and it’ll be fine when she goes back to the Yuan Family.”

“Don’t worry! I won’t put you in a difficult position. I’ll just bear the humiliation for these two or three days.”

Liu Sisi spoke simply, but secretly she sneered.

She still remembered what YingEr had overheard – 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 Yelei’s face was full of anxiety!

He quickly grasped Liu Sisi’s hand and pulled it to his chest, looking at her firmly and persistently.

“Sisi, I know that it’s my little sister’s fault, and I apologize to you on her behalf.”

“Tch! Is your apology worth two maces?”

Liu Sisi turned her back on him and looked around at the stone lion on the railing, refusing to look at him.

“Sisi…”

Di Yelei anxiously straightened her body, gazing into her eyes: “If you’re angry, hit me hard until you’re satisfied. But please don’t hold your anger inside. If something happens to you, the one who would suffer the most would be me, your husband.”

“Is that what you hope for, that something bad would happen to me?”

“No! I swear by heaven and earth, Sisi, I absolutely didn’t mean that! Sisi, I… I mean…”

Di Yelei was so anxious that his words became incoherent: “Isn’t it because I’m afraid you’ll be angry and ignore me?”
