Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 170
Chapter 170: Chapter 168: Let the Storm Come More Fiercely!
Everyone’s gazes focused on Di Ruoning, despising, disdaining, belittling… Various kinds of stares seemed to pierce through Di Ruoning.
“How about it? Did everyone see it clearly?”
Liu Sisi sneered coldly.
Di Ruoning struggled fiercely, unable to bear the suffocation in her heart any longer. She wanted to expose Liu Sisi’s past: “I won’t leave! I won’t leave! You don’t know, this Liu Sisi is not a good person at all! When she was still unmarried, she was already with another man…”
“Shut up! Ruoning, don’t make a fuss anymore! So many people are watching. Let’s go! We’ll go back.”
Yuan Mengbai hastily interrupted Di Ruoning’s unfinished words.
Did she want to reveal her so-called past?
Come on!
Let the storm come more violently! Let her deal with all the demons and monsters!
“Hold on! You’re leaving just like that? Little sister just wronged me, she hasn’t apologized to me yet, how could you just leave like this!”
Liu Sisi’s crisp voice suddenly came from behind.
“You!… Third Sister-in-law! You should always leave some room for yourself!”
Yuan Mengbai’s face darkened, and he turned to coldly say.
While he was still trying to maintain harmony among their family, Liu Sisi was unrelenting. This was too much!
“Hehe! If people respect me one inch, I respect them one foot!”
Liu Sisi would not yield half a step!
Since she already offended people, it’s better to completely break it off than to keep it lingering on endlessly.
“As a scholar, brother-in-law should understand reason. Although Sisi is not talented, she can at least recognize a few words. She can’t tolerate being slandered without any investigation.”
Seeing Sisi like this, Di Yelei’s eyes flashed with a bright light.
He turned to look at Di Ruoning and apologized somewhat regretfully: “Ruoning, this time you really did wrong. Apologize to your Third Sister-in-law quickly!”
Third Brother wanted her to apologize?
Di Ruoning felt like the sky was falling!
She bit her lip and buried her head in Yuan Mengbai’s arms, sobbing softly, shivering all over her body as if she was extremely wronged, but she said nothing.
Yuan Mengbai’s face also didn’t look good, and in the end, he bowed to the ground with both hands clasped in a fist salute.
“Cough, cough, cough… Third Sister-in-law. Ruoning was confused for a while and wronged Third Sister-in-law. I apologize on behalf of Ruoning.”
Liu Sisi’s face showed a casual and light-hearted smile, but only in her big watery eyes, a storm was brewing rapidly.
“It’s fine for brother-in-law to apologize on behalf of Little Sister. Little Sister, you must be careful next time and never fall accidentally again. Not every time someone will be as good at talking as Third Sister-in-law.”
Yuan Mengbai glanced deeply at Liu Sisi and said nothing.
He turned and carried Di Ruoning, sprinting towards the direction of the old house.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the onlooking crowd began to disperse in twos and threes.
Those who were fishing continued to fish, those who were casting nets continued to cast nets, whispering about the gossip that just happened.
Di Yelei’s face turned pale, and he looked silently at the backs of the two people as they went far away.
It took a long time for him to withdraw his gaze, and he looked at Sisi with an apologetic expression on his face.
“You go back first, and I’ll be back in a while.”
He gently patted Liu Sisi’s shoulder: “Ruoning is not good-tempered. After going back to the old house, who knows what trouble she will cause. I’ll take the two children to the old house and explain things. Little Sister is still pregnant, I hope there won’t be any problems.”
“You can go with ease! I, Liu Sisi, cherish my life and will not commit suicide by jumping into the river.”
Liu Sisi tilted her shoulder, deftly avoiding his touch. She smiled gently, but the warmth did not reach her eyes.
She looked at Di Yelei as if he were a stranger, then stood up straight and walked away casually.
“Sisi …”
Di Yelei unconsciously followed her for a few steps before stopping.
His main concern right now was to check on Little Sister, who had just been shocked and frightened. Hopefully, she and her child were safe.
Liu Sisi practically ran back home all the way.
She still remembered clearly what Di Ruoning had said earlier! She had to see if the two carrier pigeons were still there, and what Zuo Xingyu had asked Di Yelei to do!
Barging into the inner room, she fetched a ladder and climbed onto the firewood room’s roof to inspect the pigeon cage.
The cage was empty, with only a single pigeon’s tail feather askew inside, seemingly mocking her naïveté.
She couldn’t help but collapse on the roof, feeling as though her head was a mess, unable to make sense of anything.
She had once thought that not having the memories of her former life was a reward from Heaven. But at this moment, it seemed more like a punishment.
No, that’s not right!
Perhaps it was a test from Heaven!
It wasn’t until today that she realized just how naive she truly was!
So, a man’s tenderness could not be relied upon after all.
Looking out at the undulating mountains in the distance, she saw fluffy white clouds floating above the peaks, and a green ribbon-like vegetation covering the lower slopes, while below the mid-hill, a golden ocean became visible.
These were the many crops either being harvested or not yet harvested. At the foot of the mountains, countless winding streams flowed among the mountains, rushing towards the distance.
The sunset’s glow in the sky painted the mountain tops and their reflections in the water, the gentle breeze causing the shape of the mountains to subtly change. It was breathtakingly beautiful.
She had always been busy in the past, and this seemed to be the first time she had carefully observed her surroundings. How many stunning sceneries had she missed?
A bone-chilling wind blew from behind, making Liu Sisi shiver. It brought her back from her daze.
She suddenly laughed!
What was wrong with herself?
She was lost in random thoughts, as though it was all just a dream.
Being with Di Yelei was originally unavoidable from the beginning.
But after getting to know each other, he had proven with his actions, bit by bit, that he was a trustworthy person.
Since she had chosen him, she should trust him!
However, there was still something between him and Di Ruoning …
Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow, thinking that he couldn’t just fool her and dismiss her so casually. She needed to teach him a lesson and vent her anger!
With her, there is no room for me!
She wouldn’t let herself be dismissed so easily.
When Di Yelei returned, he saw Liu Sisi sitting alone on the roof of the firewood room, her legs dangling in the air. She seemed so lonely.
The autumn wind was bleak, sweeping up countless yellowing leaves into the air.
Autumn had arrived quietly and unnoticed.
For a while, Di Yelei stood rooted to the spot, unable to move.
In his memory, Sisi had always been full of energy. Even when she had tears in her eyes, there was always a resilient determination deep inside.
