Di Ruoning blinked her watery big eyes: “Third Brother, don’t you love your little sister anymore? Or is it because you’ve married a new sister-in-law and no longer care about me, your little sister, so much that you can’t even treat me to a strand of candied haws?”
“No, I mean I…”
Di Yelei furrowed his brows, instinctively wanted to refute, but Di Ruoning interrupted him.
“I knew Third Brother treats me the best! He definitely can’t bear to see me suffer!” Di Ruoning exclaimed excitedly.
In the end, she raised her chin proudly at Liu Sisi.
“…”
Di Yelei opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Liu Sisi just looked at her calmly, her eyes a deep azure, like the sky above them and seemingly endless.
Unable to stand the sight, Guihua on the side couldn’t help but defend Liu Sisi.
“Look here, Ruoning! Although according to seniority Sisi is your sister-in-law, but in terms of age, you’re nearly a round older than her. Are you not embarrassed bullying such a young girl, don’t you feel ashamed?”
“Huh! She? Still a young girl after getting married?”
Di Ruoning sneered and retorted: “I say, Auntie Zhang, aren’t you overstepping your boundaries? You’re an outsider who married into our family, not a member of my Di family. What’s it to you?”
“Hey —— how can you talk like that?”
Guihua’s anger surged up: “What do you mean ‘overstepping’? Isn’t it disgraceful of you, Di Ruoning, to say such things? Let me tell you, it’s fortunate that you’ve found a man who is gentle and easy to manipulate, essentially treating him like a grandson. If not, with your attitude, you might have long been sent back to your mother’s home. And you dare to be arrogant here!”
Guihua’s words instantly darkened the face of Yuan Mengbai who was standing nearby!
“Well! How dare you accuse me of being arrogant? Have I said anything wrong? This is a private matter of my Di family. What right does an outsider like you have to interfere?”
Di Ruoning refused to back down.
“You who’s already married and a round older than her, bullying your newly married sister-in-law, and not allowing any outsider to say anything about it, where in the world is such a good thing allowed? As for me being an outsider, just because I am, I can’t help but speak up when I see something wrong. Besides, aren’t you a drag? Just acting like a big bad wolf here! Everyone here, judge for yourselves, am I right in saying that?”
Guihua’s voice was loud, her booming words drew the attention of the many passersby who had come for the temple fair, who then started pointing fingers at Di Ruoning, blaming her for being in the wrong.
Such a scene caused Yuan Mengbai, a habitual peacemaker, to blush then turn pale, wishing desperately for a crack in the ground to crawl into.
“Shut your filthy mouth! You’re not a member of my Di family, so what do you know? Is this any of your business?”
Di Ruoning, fuming with rage, stood up!
But the moment she stood up, she felt a twist of pain in her stomach and instinctively bent over, cradling her stomach, and squatted down.
“Ruoning? Ruoning, what’s wrong with you?”
Yuan Mengbai by her side grew anxious, wondering why she suddenly crouched down clutching her belly.
“I may not understand your so-called Di family, but I do know that Sisi is not even 16 yet, and you, a 27 year-old woman, is bullying her!”
Guihua sneered coldly: “How about that? Feeling guilty, aren’t you? Planning to run away under some pretense, aren’t you? Ha! This is the typical trick of women like you! Sisi, let’s go. We don’t need to deal with hypocritical women like her!”
As Guihua spoke, she stepped forward and pulled at Liu Sisi’s arm, and with a cold hum, she bypassed the others and moved on.
Di Yelei glanced at Di Ruoning, then at the direction Liu Sisi and others were heading, he moved his lips but eventually said nothing, and turned to leave.
“What are you still looking at? Let’s go!”
Di Gaoyuan forcefully dragged Ms. Wang along, leading the younger ones away as well.
Only Yuan Mengbai and the old woman Ms. Ma were still accompanying a sobbing Di Ruoning.
Once they left the spot, Guihua began to complain: “What kind of people are these! I think Di Ruoning is setting herself more importance with age. She’s even older than you, yet she has the nerve to bully you, the newcomer in our home. Sisi, I think you’re just too soft. If it were me, I would flatten her! Humph!”
“Sister Guihua, don’t talk about it anymore. A little sister is still a little sister, no matter what, she should still call me third sister-in-law. Besides, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we shouldn’t let irrelevant people ruin our mood! Come on, let’s go check out over there.”
Liu Sisi pressed Sister Guihua’s hand, glanced at Di Yelei, then pulled her to keep moving.
Di Yelei was left with a bitter smile after her glance!
She must be mad at him? He thought he was the most unfortunate one, stuck between his little sister and Sisi, he was always in the wrong no matter what he said or did!
“Sisi, earlier, about my little sister, I really…”,
Liu Sisi glanced at him indifferently and said, “You don’t need to say anything more, I understand your difficulties. Besides, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should all have a happy reunion. As for other things, let’s talk about them tomorrow!”
Her current mood was far from as tranquil as she appeared on the surface, she didn’t want to untangle the knot between her and Di Ruoning.
Where she was, Liu Sisi wouldn’t be!
She and Di Ruoning were probably those types of people who were naturally incompatible!
As for Di Yelei! Liu Sisi lowered her lashes to cover the storm that was brewing within her eyes.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival!
Just as she said, they should enjoy a happy Mid-Autumn Reunion Festival! The monk might run away but the temple won’t, she didn’t believe that he, Di Yelei, could escape!
It wouldn’t be too late to settle scores with him after tonight!
Following the stone steps up the mountain, everyone slowly ascended!
Without Di Ruoning sandwiched among them, everyone walked up harmoniously.
Guihua was never short of conversation, constantly chatting with Liu Sisi about interesting things.
The stone steps leading up the mountain were dotted with thatched huts every short distance, maintained frequently, exceptionally clean and tidy.
After not too long, they climbed a platform following the winding stone steps, and passing through a dense shrubbery, two turns later, a breathtaking landscape came into view.
The distance was filled with ancient trees shrouding mountains. Looking around, the hues of the mountains continued into the clouds and sky.
The eaves and ridges of houses built against the hill occasionally revealed themselves through the lush greenery, sporadically interspersed within the ink landscape painting, resembling shy girls half-hiding behind their pipas, their cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
At the moment, it was Mid-Autumn, the fiery red maple leaves stretched from far and near, up close a bay area filled with lake water, hidden within the autumnal lake scenery.
