Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 526
Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Unforgettable
“What are you afraid of? Dad, don’t you trust your daughter’s capabilities?”
Xiao Feng’s face was filled with a sweet smile, completely different from her previous restraint.
“Can my daughter be bullied, the daughter of Ironsmith Fan? I don’t believe it. However, it is evident that his Third Aunt treats Di Cheng genuinely.”
“Di Cheng mentioned this too. He is helping out with the shop, which also belongs to his Third Aunt. Besides, his Third Uncle is a sub-captain, so they can’t be compared to ordinary families,”
Xiao Feng spoke with joy on her face: “But during the day, I noticed that his Third Aunt is a good person, quite in line with my character.”
“You! You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already speaking up for outsiders. Dad has truly raised you in vain for more than a decade.” Ironsmith Fan couldn’t help teasing his daughter.
“Dad! — What nonsense are you talking about? ”
Finally, Xiao Feng showed the coquettishness of a young girl.
“You still don’t know whether I’m talking nonsense or not?”
Ironsmith Fan pointed at her head proudly: “However, Mrs.Sub-Captain did say that once you give birth to a second boy, he will take the surname Fan and inherit our Fan Family’s bloodline. You have to work harder after you marry and have a child sooner.”
Xiao Feng was so embarrassed by her dad’s straightforward words that she couldn’t help but drag out her words.
“Dad——”
Compared to the warmth between father and daughter here, the faces of those who returned to the room were not so good.
Liu Sisi took out a tael of broken silver and gave it to the matchmaker, who naturally thanked her repeatedly before leaving.
As soon as the matchmaker left, Liu Sisi’s forced smile disappeared, and she walked into the house with a sullen face. Wang’s wanted to take the opportunity to follow in, but was blocked directly by Old Cheng at the door.
Di Cheng glanced back at his mother being stopped outside the door and sighed faintly as he followed Liu Sisi into the room.
“What’s wrong? This is… ”
Hearing Wang’s cursing from outside, Zhao’s also slipped out of the room.
Liu Sisi pressed her aching forehead and gestured to Di Cheng: “You should ask Di Cheng about the matter!”
She directly tossed the problem to Di Cheng.
Elderly Mr. Di also walked out of the room. Seeing Liu Sisi’s tired face, Di Cheng’s bitter and hesitant expression, Wang’s cursing outside the door, what more was there to understand?
Immediately turning his head, he pointed his crutch at Zhao’s: “Look at the ‘good daughter-in-law’ we have raised! Go out and send her away! I’m so ashamed of my Di family that we’ve lost face!”
“It has nothing to do with me when she’s arguing…”
Zhao’s initially wanted to say something more, but after seeing Elderly Mr. Di’s expression, she hurried to the door.
Who knows what she said to Wang, but luckily, the cursing stopped.
Liu Sisi, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn’t help but laugh!
No wonder they say “one thing overcomes another”, like brine and tofu!
In the following days, Di Cheng was extremely busy.
Ironsmith Fan desperately wanted to hold his grandson, and since Xiao Feng was already an “old maid” at eighteen, she indeed couldn’t wait any longer.
The two parties agreed quickly and set the wedding date for half a month later.
Liu Sisi also asked Da Niu and Er Niu to help organize the wedding room. In his spare time, Di Yelei also helped out. They bought what needed to be bought and threw away what needed to be discarded.
While everyone here was busy, there was no movement in the Di family’s old house, nor was there anyone coming over to help.
Due to the busyness on this side, Di Cheng was busy acquiring various things, so all the affairs at the bookstore were handed over to Miao Cuihua. Unexpectedly to Liu Sisi, although Miao Cuihua was stingy and greedy, she had her own business skills. She managed the bookstore very well in half a month.
The busiest one was Di Yelei!
He was not only busy with official duties but also overseeing the completion of the official residence.
As he was a seventh-rank official, the imperial court did not provide an official residence for him. So, he bought a small courtyard in the county and renovated it at his own expense.
Originally, Di Yelei didn’t plan to buy a house in the county, but considering that Liu Sisi’s body was getting heavier and it was really inconvenient to travel such a long distance every day, he decided to move back to the county after the accident.
However, Zhu Caimai came up with a good suggestion in the end.
There was a small courtyard behind the wine-house, which was originally prepared by Nan Tianzong for Liu Sisi. The two discussed and just renovated it, and then moved in after handling things here.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was Di Cheng’s big happy day.
Since Ms. Wang was absent, only pregnant Ms. Xin came from the old house.
Liu Sisi didn’t mind. On the day of Di Cheng’s big wedding, she arranged Elderly Mr. Di and Ms. Zhao in the main seats.
As Elderly Mr. Di was the head of the Di family and Di Cheng’s biological grandfather, naturally, no one dared to gossip when he sat in the main hall.
The wedding quickly reached its climax, and after paying respect to the grandparents in the court, Di Cheng held the veiled Xiao Feng and bowed three more times to Di Yelei and Liu Sisi before the ceremony was completed and they were sent into the bridal chamber.
Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief! She finally fulfilled her promise, which seemed not an easy one to make.
There weren’t many guests from the bride’s side of the Fan family, but they were satisfied with the house as a whole.
This house was bought by Liu Sisi on a whim later on. Although it was old and had only four main rooms and one wing room, it was quite nice after all the renovations as a new home.
Everyone was overjoyed, and the banquet lasted until late at night before it ended.
It wasn’t until all the guests had gone that Di Yelei helped Liu Sisi to leave.
“Third Uncle, Third Aunt, everything today is engraved in Di Cheng’s heart, and I will never forget your great kindness in my lifetime.”
Di Cheng thanked them solemnly.
“Whether you remember it or not isn’t important, just remember your father-in-law’s request that the second boy should have the last name Fan and carry on the Fan family’s bloodline. You must work hard.”
Liu Sisi’s joke made Di Cheng’s face turn red, and he could hardly speak: “Don’t worry, Third Aunt, I will remember it.”
“Alright! Hurry in! Today is your wedding night, don’t miss such a beautiful scene, hahaha…”
Di Yelei laughed heartily, and then, helped Liu Sisi to leave.
“Take care, Third Uncle and Third Aunt.”
Hearing Di Cheng’s joyful voice behind them, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but sigh.
“Seeing their happy and lively wedding, I can’t help but wonder if our wedding back then was as lively and extraordinary.”
“Sisi, it’s my fault that I couldn’t give you a decent wedding ceremony.”
