Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 264:
Chapter 264: Chapter 262: Shy Di Cheng, Rascal Bullies at the Door
In the following days, Nan Tianzong barely showed up at the shop.
Because of Nan Tianzong’s return, Di Cheng, who was working for Liu Sisi, became his assistant.
However, Nan Tianzong divided the shop’s profits into ten parts, with Liu Sisi and Di Cheng each getting thirty percent, and Nan Tianzong getting forty percent.
With Di Cheng getting thirty percent for his labor, he became even more motivated.
It was just that when the honest and simple Di Cheng came to Liu Sisi with red cheeks, Liu Sisi was still a bit startled.
“Third Aunt! I, I want to… Can you not tell my parents about this?”
It was not difficult to see that it took courage for Di Cheng to say this.
Indeed, the environment can change a person!
“Don’t worry! Third Aunt hasn’t become a gossip yet. However, you have to hide it well. In a year or two, you’ll have some assets, and you can find someone you like to marry. The two of you can live a good life and have a few big fat boys.”
“Th-Third Aunt, I-I-I…”
Di Cheng was at a loss, not knowing what to say.
“Alright, alright, you go and get busy. I will go to the Gan Mansion. Also, has Gan Miaoruo been to the shop recently?”
Liu Sisi asked as she tidied up the account books.
“Miss Gan came yesterday, but she happened to bump into Zhang Shixin visiting. Miss of Gan Family threw him out without a second word. Besides, recently, some rascals have been coming to the shop to make trouble. I’ve chased them away several times, and once there was Third Uncle who happened to see them. Third Uncle just stood in front and those rascals ran away!”
Speaking of this, Di Cheng seemed to be very happy: “Third Aunt! You didn’t see the scene that day. Third Uncle was so powerful! With just a casual swing of his arm, those rascals flew out and fell to the ground with blood in their mouths. Like a stack of Arhats, they piled up five people in front of the shop, attracting the neighbors to come and watch. It was so amazing!”
Di Cheng kept gesturing, showing his inner joy.
“Many rascals have come recently?”
Liu Sisi frowned with intuition.
Since Ye Lei became a constable, she naturally learned some inside information.
The small town was not large, and the local rascals were divided into two groups. One group wandered around various small towns, and the leader was a man named Xing San. The other group came down from Heilong Mountain, and they usually did not take action. Once they did, they would never give up until they achieved their goal.
Since the rascals were scared away by Ye Lei, they must have been Xing San’s men, right?
But no!
A few days ago, Ye Lei met Xing San while bringing her along, and he even paid respects to Ye Lei. If it was his men, wouldn’t it be hitting his own face?
“Well! I know about this. You go ahead and get busy. If you encounter any difficulties, remember, everything comes from being too aggressive. Be more mindful of yourself, understand?”
“Alright, Third Aunt, I understand.”
As Di Cheng bid her farewell, she stepped out of the bookstore’s main entrance.
Looking up, she saw a figure hurrying away. Although it was just for a moment, Liu Sisi clearly saw that the person had a scar on his eyebrow.
Turning her head to check the surroundings, Liu Sisi decided to go to Grandma’s noodle restaurant.
Business at Grandma’s noodle restaurant had always been good. Once she turned into the small alley, it was much warmer than the main road outside. Moreover, with the curtains Grandma had put up, it blocked several gusts of cold wind.
Even though it was not lunchtime yet, there were still a few people eating noodles in the restaurant.
“Hey, it’s actually Young Wife come to visit! Quickly come in and sit down. How come you’re willing to come and see Grandma today? Come and sit down. I’ll cook you a bowl of planed noodles first.”
Liu Sisi quickly grabbed her hand: “Grandma, don’t worry about it. I have something to ask.”
What she wanted to ask, of course, was about this man with a scar on his eyebrow!
“As for this person, I do have some impression! That’s because Grandma’s house is at the bottom of the narrow alley. If you go in from there, you’ll reach the back door of Businessman Zhang’s house. I’ve seen this person come out of Businessman Zhang’s back door twice.”
“Which Businessman Zhang’s house?” Liu Sisi was puzzled.
“Which other Businessman Zhang could it be but Zhang Shixin the Businessman? Although he is young, he has a lot of silver in his family. His main family is actually in the county, and this Zhang Mansion in the small town is a separate residence. Inside lives his Fifth Concubine, who is said to have been brought back from the capital city in the summer, looking very beautiful and charming. Businessman Zhang treasures her very much!” Grandma proudly said.
It was actually him!
He’s just so fond of the original body, and yet he brought back a beautiful wife from the capital.
It seems that the parents of the original body really loved their daughter. Otherwise, if she really married Zhang Shixin, she would have to castrate him directly, eliminating his future troubles!
Back home, Liu Sisi was always lost in thought as she worked.
Seeing her stop for the Nth time, Di Yelei, who was sitting across from her practicing calligraphy, couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Sisi, I see you have a heavy heart. Did something happen?”
Liu Sisi’s heart was also drumming, after considering for a while, she decided it was better to tell him the matter.
Di Yelei frowned slightly and thought for a moment: “The one with a scar on his eyebrow should not be Xing San’s man. Xing San’s men just got into trouble the day before yesterday and were accused by the victim. Unfortunately, they met a powerful victim. They’ve been hiding at home recently, not daring to show their faces. So, it’s mostly still related to Heilong Mountain.”
Di Yelei took a glance at Liu Sisi: “Leave this matter alone. I’ll ask my colleagues. We have all sorts of little news among us, it’s more efficient for us to check.”
These words were true!
Liu Sisi naturally would not refuse: “Okay, I’ll leave this matter to you. But if you find out, you must tell me the result.”
“I know, you’ve looked absent-minded all night. You’ve been rubbing yellow mud for one night. What is this for?” Di Yelei curiously looked at the object in Liu Sisi’s hand.
She hid the object behind her back: “You’re not allowed to look. I won’t tell you, humph!”
At the end, she thought about it and added: “If the thing I make succeeds, I will naturally tell you.”
“Fine, I don’t want to know anymore.”
It must be said that after going to the governmental office, Di Yelei, whether it was because of his broadened horizons or because he learned more and more characters and understood more and more principles, was radiating a special charm at the moment, attracting Liu Sisi’s eyes in a special way.
“It’s good that you don’t want to know. It saves me half a day of explaining. By the way, have you helped Brother Zhang ask if the office is still hiring? Can Brother Zhang also become a constable?”
Liu Sisi took out the yellow mud again and continued to knead it and roll it.
