Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 295
Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Avalanche Continues
Di Family home.
A door separated the two sisters in the room from the outside, both crying.
“It’s all my fault! I’m so bad, if I had noticed in time, this wouldn’t have happened to you! It’s me, it’s all me…”
Liu Sisi leaned against the door, sobbing in anguish.
If she had found out in time, Liu Zhi’er wouldn’t have been violated by that beast…
Bitterness and heartache churned in her heart, and Liu Sisi wished she could turn back time and return to that moment. She would definitely break down that tightly closed door and save Liu Zhi’er from Old Man Li’s clutches!
Just as she was distraught, a cry suddenly came from behind.
“Mom! Mom, how are you sitting on the ground? Why are you crying? Mom!”
YingEr suddenly hugged her from behind: “Mom! Did you fall and hurt yourself? YingEr will blow and it won’t hurt anymore, Mom don’t cry, Mom is the best…”
Obedient YingEr tried several times to lift her up.
Liu Sisi sat on the ground unwilling to get up, gently patting the door: “Second Sister, Second Sister….”
YingEr seemed very confused: “Mom! What’s wrong with you?”
“YingEr, come here now, I have something to do. Let’s go find Zhang Yun and play with him, okay? We’ll come back later.”
Behind her, Di Xuan hurriedly came forward to take YingEr away. Before leaving, he sent her a worried glance.
At the moment, Liu Sisi had no mood to entertain the two children.
“Second Sister! Listen to me. Complaining can’t solve the problem, and crying is just a sign of weakness. At this point, we should look forward.”
Liu Sisi leaned against the door and said softly.
“That Old Man Li actually dared to do such a thing. We can sue him for human trafficking, it would at least require him to serve labor for several years. According to the current law, the laborers have to go down to the mines to dig. With his age, even if he really comes out in a few years, he won’t be able to enjoy his remaining years.”
In fact, the greater possibility is that he would directly die in the mine.
The legal system in this era is not as perfect as it is in later generations. If a prisoner dies in the mine, it’s considered a white death, and who can say anything about it?
“And that Dong guy, he doesn’t even treat his married wife as a human being. Once your injuries are stable, we will go directly to him and get divorced. If he dares to stall and refuse, we will go to the government office to sue him. Selling his own married wife is a heinous crime! Besides, you have raised three children for him. Such a person is simply unconscionable, and we must not be indulgent!”
Liu Sisi slowly analyzed the pros and cons with Liu Zhi’er step by step. Gradually, the crying inside the room stopped.
Liu Sisi did not rush, but silently accompanied her.
“Even if you really die here, to a person like him, it would just be another excuse for extortion. Would he really care about you at all?”
“You, you nonsense! He, he truly loves me…”
Liu Zhi’er’s words trembled like a weak candle in the wind.
“Would someone who truly loves you let their wife have a child for someone else? Would someone who truly loves you let you be injured with no human appearance? Second Sister, don’t be fooled by his sweet-talk. Wake up!”
“I…”
Liu Sisi’s words made the rational woman inside the room instinctively want to refute, but she bit her lip and didn’t speak.
“You don’t tell me that this surrogate pregnancy was your own idea. I don’t have such a shameless second sister!”
Liu Sisi sneered: “Even if he was really coaxing and deceiving you, telling you he cared for you and loved you, can you believe it? Second Sister, you’re a mother of three children now. Do you really want to live in such a lie and not come out? Wake up! Wake up!”
Inside the room, Liu Zhi’er sobbed and whimpered louder and louder, ultimately dissolving into loud crying.
Liu Sisi, separated by the door, listened to her howling and slowly stood up from the outside.
She could only do so much at this point, and now, only Liu Zhi’er herself could truly help her!
As she stepped out of the door, she saw Guihua coming in a hurry. Seeing Liu Sisi’s red and swollen eyes, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Sisi, you…”
“Shh! Let’s go to the kitchen to talk.”
Liu Sisi stopped her from talking and walked silently in front.
In the room, Dad was slowly chopping baby bok choy for lunch.
“Dad, you should go back to your room and rest for a while! You didn’t get enough rest last night. Later, when the food is cooked, your daughter-in-law will come to get you.”
Liu Sisi quickly washed her hands and took over.
Elderly Mr. Di looked back at Guihua and didn’t insist.
“Elder Uncle Di, hello,” Guihua greeted hastily.
“Good, all good!” Elderly Mr. Di didn’t say much and walked slowly out of the kitchen with his crutch.
Glancing at the room where Liu Zhi’er was, he couldn’t help but hear the sisters crying so loudly.
Elderly Di couldn’t help but shake his head as he entered his own room. Sigh! What a pity…
Liu Sisi chopped the vegetables quickly and stealthily wiped the tears from her face.
“Sisi, what… ” Guihua leaned in and, noticing there was no one around, continued asking in a small voice, “What on earth happened?”
“Well, it’s a long story. I don’t know where to start…”
Liu Sisi really didn’t know how to say it.
“Earlier, YingEr came and said that the woman inside is your Second Sister? The one who… the one who gave birth to Old Man Li’s child?” Guihua asked curiously.
The tragic woman? These words made Liu Sisi’s tears unstoppable, and they came flooding down.
“Sister Guihua…”
When she comforted Liu Zhi’er, she spoke nicely, but when it came to herself, she couldn’t resist letting the tears fall.
“Oh no! Sisi, don’t cry, please stop crying…”
Guihua fumbled to comfort her.
Suddenly, deep in the mountain behind the house, a series of rumbling noises rumbled and shook everyone in the house.
Elderly Mr. Di couldn’t help but sit up from the head of the bed, his eyes staring into the void, “Is… the mountain gods angry?”
Elsewhere.
The avalanche continued.
Zhang Peng’s fury hadn’t yet subsided!
The rumbling noise overwhelmed Di Yelei.
Di Yelei completely forgot to breathe, forgot the surroundings, forgot that he was racing with the collapsing accumulated snow. His body suddenly merged into the gusts around him.
He had a peculiar feeling, as if he was the wind, and the wind was him!
Every step he took matched the frequency of the gusts around him.
His speed was like a wisp of smoke, rapidly brushing past, dangerously running ahead of the collapsing snow dragon.
The snow dragon arrogantly pursued, closing in quickly.
Di Yelei felt his lung’s blood vessels bursting, the limit-speed erupting, and he transformed into an arrow, speeding forward…
Rumble! –
Even so, the snow dragon didn’t let him go. It spread from the mountain top to the hillside, then pounced toward the foot of the mountain, causing the surrounding mountain peaks to emit a series of rumbling noises.
The snow dragon chased and played with the tiny, ant-like man in front. Eventually, it swallowed him whole.
