Di Yelei’s legs were steady like the roots of a tree, his tall figure was firmly shielding Liu Sisi behind him.
Facing this group of rushing rascals, his eyes slightly narrowed, and the shoulder pole in his hand spun around…
Bang! Bang, Bang——
Before Liu Sisi could see clearly, she could only hear the sound of dust flying in the air, accompanied by screams and the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, which was quite eerie!
Di Yelei actually had such skills, which was truly shocking to her.
It also made Liu Sisi extremely excited!
His figure became taller in her eyes, and a warm current spread across her body. She wished she could also rush forward and fight in the same exhilarating way!
Di Yelei’s movements were fast, and it didn’t take long, all the rascals were lying on the ground, the only one left standing was the Damned Fatty!
Suddenly he turned around, his sharp eyes instantly stared at the Damned Fatty.
The Damned Fatty was shaking like a sieve, and when he saw those eyes, a murky yellow liquid spread from his crotch, making a large stain on the ground.
It was at this moment that he realized he had messed with the wrong person!
“You, you, you…don’t come over, don’t come over! I tell you, my cousin is the leader of the Qinglong Mountain, if you…”
Hearing the Damned Fatty’s severely trembling voice trying to sound threatening, Di Yelei glanced at the puddle at his feet and frowned.
“We don’t interfere with each other’s business, but since you dared to provoke me, you should have thought of the consequences. If you want to find someone to teach me a lesson, I, Di Yelei, will be happy to oblige! However, if there is a next time, don’t blame me, Di Yelei, for being ruthless!”
After finishing his words one by one, a fierce flash crossed the bottom of his eyes. He took two steps forward.
“Don’t, don’t come over! My dog’s eyes failed to recognize you. I deserve to die! Please spare my life, hero… ”
The Damned Fatty screamed in fear and begged for mercy, his body couldn’t help but shiver, fearing that Di Yelei would make a move on him again.
“Sisi, let’s go!”
A touch of mockery flashed in the corner of Di Yelei’s eyes, as such a bully who’s afraid of the tough and preys on the weak was beyond redemption!
“Wait, Ye Lei.”
Liu Sisi had an idea, and she didn’t intend to let it go just like that.
“You, you! And all of you! Give back the silver that you stole from us! Hurry up and return it voluntarily!”
The stolen silver? The rascals wailing on the ground were stunned! The Damned Fatty was also stunned!
When did they steal silver from Liu Sisi? They didn’t even get a chance to do anything!
Liu Sisi’s smile was radiant, her eyes squinted, and she laughed with arching eyebrows, revealing a row of shiny white little teeth, “Of course, if you don’t return it, that’s fine too! However, in that case, we’ll have to send you to the government office and let the Lord County Magistrate make the final decision!”
“You!…”
Were they being played here!
Being notoriously greedy, the Macheng County Magistrate’s office was like entering a tiger’s den. Entering the governmental office with their status and even if they could bribe their way out, they would be lucky to escape with their lives!
“Why aren’t we going? Are you just not going to return our money?” There was a cunning glint in Liu Sisi’s eyes.
Di Yelei stood still, his gaze sweeping over the wailing people on the ground.
He who knows when to act is a true hero. These rascals had been frightened by Di Yelei, and as his eyes swept over them, they hurriedly handed over the precious silver in their pockets.
Over ten rascals combined only amounted to no more than 200 copper coins, to Liu Sisi’s speechlessness! The biggest Fatty, however, was a good harvest, carrying over one tael of silver!
“Gentlemen, every day you bully others, you’ll eventually be challenged. I advise you to stay on the right path! Aren’t you tired of your dangerous life, living by the knife every day? Be wise!” After saying that, Liu Sisi pocketed the silver and left with Di Yelei and the children.
It was only when they could no longer see Di Yelei and his group that Damned Fatty caught his breath: “Mother! That scared me! How come I’ve never noticed that he’s such a ruthless person?” If he knew this would happen, even if he had more guts, he wouldn’t dare to mess with him.
After catching his breath, he started grieving over the loss of his silver again: “Women’s hearts are indeed the deadliest… Oh, my silver!”
The rascals finally got up from the ground. Although Di Yelei knocked them down, he did not cause any real harm to them.
But when did these rascals ever suffer such a loss? They naturally wanted to save face!
Since they couldn’t deal with Di Yelei, they decided to choose the softer target…
Everyone’s eyes homed in on Damned Fatty.
As Damned Fatty mourned for his silver, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed. Instinctively, he opened his green bean-sized eyes and looked around at the rascals surrounding him. Only then did he realize something was wrong.
“What do you want? Don’t forget, we’re in this together… Ah! Save me!”
The distant cries for help didn’t stop Liu Sisi and the others. By dusk, they finally arrived home.
Di Yelei busied himself storing the items they bought today, while Liu Sisi prepared dinner.
Naturally, the main course was rice. Di Yelei glanced at it and swallowed the reminder he was about to say. He originally expected the rice to last for three months until the autumn harvest, when they could buy grain from their fellow villagers. That would be cheaper and more convenient. However, judging by the way Liu Sisi cooked, he estimated the rice would be enough for only two months at most.
Liu Sisi, of course, was unaware of his thoughts and proceeded to scoop a ladle of pure flour to add water and steam buns. During the day, an old man had given her a small handful of chives, which was perfect for vegetable buns.
“Today we taught those rascals a lesson. Will they take revenge on us?”
At that moment, Di Yelei was enlarging the hole behind the bowl cabinet, intending to store the grains they bought.
Upon hearing her words, he looked at Liu Sisi and said, “They are professional swindlers who don’t take action lightly. Right now, under the circumstances, the only unlucky one will be that Head Chef.”
While kneading the dough, Liu Sisi’s face lit up, “Really? That damned Fatty deserves it. I hope they fight among themselves, then they won’t have time to bother us.”
“You! You’re still so mischievous!”
Love and affection filled Di Yelei’s eyes as he assured her, “Don’t worry! Those rascals won’t dare to come here!”
While Di Yelei was certain, Liu Sisi remained skeptical and could only keep her doubts to herself.
For dinner, Liu Sisi steamed a whole basket of chive buns, stewed half a wild chicken in soup, and stir-fried the last few pieces of Manchurian wild rice, planning to make do for the meal.
As the steaming basket was opened, the distinctive aroma of chive buns rushed to the nose. Liu Sisi took a plate and quickly loaded a few white buns: “Xuan’er, hurry up and take these buns to your grandpa.” No matter how unwelcome their own family was, she needed to observe the proper filial piety.
