Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 253:
Chapter 253: Chapter 251: Ye Lei and Xingyu call each other brother, Sisi is anxious
“Bastard! Let go, what kind of hero are you to bully a woman?”
She clenched her teeth tightly, trying to ignore the enormous force on her arm. She didn’t see the other person’s actions clearly, and the tremendous force had already taken control of her before she had the chance to struggle and break free.
It wasn’t until this moment that she realized her recklessness; she had actually tried to negotiate with such a demonic man.
A moment later, the shackles on her arm loosened. She quickly took two steps to stand up and steady herself before turning around.
“Looking at your small figure, I doubt you could run. Speak! Who are you?” Zuo Xingyu’s face was heavy.
“I am Liu Sisi, without a doubt!”
She couldn’t help but roar in anger and then remembered the people in the room. She quickly lowered her voice.
“You won’t be convinced until you’re about to drown in the Yellow River, will you? If you are Liu Sisi, how could you say those things just now! Tell me honestly, who are you? If you won’t confess willingly, I have a thousand ways to help you remember.”
Zuo Xingyu’s chilling aura questioned Liu Sisi.
This fierce Zuo Xingyu frightened Liu Sisi, she forcefully tried to calm her thoughts: “I… I lost my memory! I lost my past memories due to a high fever when I got married… It was Di Ruoning who told me that there was a marriage contract between you and me in the past, and later, later…”
She didn’t know how to continue, so she just lowered her head and fell silent.
That’s right, she had only heard Di Ruoning’s side of the story, and the truth had not been confirmed. She had rashly come to question him, which was indeed a mistake.
His face changed to a few shades of surprise at her words, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face softened.
“So, you have no memory of the past at all?”
“None, but… Even though I don’t know what happened initially, if I have wronged you, you should seek justice from the person responsible.”
“Shut your mouth! If you can’t remember anything, don’t talk to me until you do!”
She had never seen an angry Zuo Xingyu!
His furious face frightened Liu Sisi, making her shiver and feel chilly all over, unable to speak.
Zuo Xingyu turned around and walked away, then turned back after two steps: “I did not come back to the Di Family for the reasons you think. Since Sister-in-law doesn’t welcome me, I will leave tomorrow morning. I will bother you for tonight.”
After saying that, he strode to the door and pushed it open.
The howling wind whirled in the sky, freezing Liu Sisi to shiver. She felt like a drifting duckweed with no support.
A moment later, she sighed, brushed off the snowflakes on her body, and followed him through the main entrance.
The wind continued to blow.
The door to the firewood room was gently pushed open to reveal Di Yelei holding a bundle of firewood.
He originally saw that the firewood was running low, so he went out to fetch some. He never expected to hear the conversation between the two.
So, Sisi and Zuo Xingyu had such a connection!
His brow furrowed, unsure of what he was thinking.
At night, Liu Sisi tossed and turned, unable to sleep. As she heard the faint sounds of the two people’s conversation from the hall, her heart burned with unease, unable to fall asleep.
It wasn’t until the sky was about to get bright that she finally managed to doze off for a while.
However, that nightmare crept into her dreams once again without a sound.
Blood! The endless blood-red color; the faceless man and Zuo Xingyu fighting together; the dagger in Zuo Xingyu’s hand held high and ruthlessly falling…
“Ah! ——”
She screams, startled awake from the nightmare as usual, panting against the head of the bed.
Closing her eyes tightly, she wiped away the cold sweat before collapsing back into her quilt.
This nightmare seemed endless and tormented her; as long as she let down her guard, it would silently sneak into her dreams.
She felt like she was going mad! She couldn’t go on like this.
“Sisi? Sisi, did you have another nightmare?”
Di Yelei entered, reaching out to touch her forehead: “How are you? Do you want to drink some water?”
Seeing the anxious Di Yelei, Liu Sisi shook her head and lazily closed her eyes again.
“No need; I’m a little sleepy and want to rest a bit more.”
Since she had her eyes closed, she naturally missed the fleeting confusion in Di Yelei’s eyes.
“Then you go to sleep. If you feel uncomfortable, call for me again.” Di Yelei gently patted her shoulder, tucking her under the quilt before leaving the room.
As soon as he left, Liu Sisi’s thoughts raced, trying hard to recall all the information from the nightmare. The more she thought, the more confused she became and fell back into a drowsy sleep.
Luckily, the nightmare did not haunt her again.
By the time Liu Sisi woke up again, Zuo Xingyu had already left on his horse.
Liu Sisi let out a sigh of relief!
He was gone, the snow in the sky had stopped, and her mood had inexplicably lifted!
Xuan’er and YingEr’s laughter came from the grain-drying field, followed by the joyous barking of Ah-Huang and Ah-Hua, along with a large group of children playing in the snow. It was quite lively.
Her father-in-law leaned against the yard door, looking at the children’s jumping direction, the wrinkles on his old face revealing a faint smile, as if reminiscing about the past, his gaze far-reaching.
The snow in the yard had been cleared; the sound of pheasant crowing came from the chicken coop along with the flapping of wings. The rabbits had been moved to the wall close to the kitchen in the firewood room, where it was warmer.
The stable nearby had been tidied up by Di Yelei early on. Inside the sturdy, stone-built stable, a jujube red horse happily flicked its tail while eating fodder from the trough.
Perhaps seeing the curiosity in Liu Sisi’s eyes, the horse raised its head and snorted.
It seems this horse looks down on her!
Liu Sisi’s stubbornness kicked in; as she tried to reach out and touch the horse, Di Yelei stopped her.
“Don’t touch! Be careful it doesn’t hurt you!”
As he spoke, Liu Sisi was directly pulled into a warm embrace, away from the horse. Beside Di Yelei was a small pile of fodder prepared for the horse.
“Fool! You went over just like that; if it kicks out at you with its hooves, can your little body take that?”
As Di Yelei spoke, the horse also raised its head and neighed as if to agree with his words.
“Alright! So you, the beast, also look down on me!”
Liu Sisi angrily kicked towards the stable!
The horse seemed to be provoking her, snorting directly at her, spraying snot all over her face.
“Damn horse! Liu Sisi swears to never be on good terms with you!”
She quickly rushed into the kitchen to wash her face. The stinky horse dared to spray snot on her; it’s just infuriating!
