“What’s the matter?”

“…It’s about my Second Sister.”

Liu Sisi sat down on the chair again and gently recounted the story of Liu Zhi’er.

Starting with the man surnamed Dong, to Old Man Li, and then to the divorce, Liu Sisi didn’t hide any details from Zuo Xingyu, except for some details that were not appropriate to tell others. She understood that it was better to tell him everything clearly, which seemed more sincere than letting him investigate on his own.

“…My Second Sister has suffered so much, and now she has finally escaped the fire pit, but she can’t let go of Er Mao and San Mao, the two children sold by her own father. I don’t ask for much, just that you keep an eye out and inform me as soon as you have any news about the two children.”

At first, Zuo Xingyu was filled with resentment, but as Liu Sisi spoke, his anger subsided bit by bit. He pondered for a moment.

“Aren’t you afraid that I, Zuo someone, will promise you openly, but secretly not help you find the children?”

Liu Sisi smiled faintly: “Just because you said that, I know that you are not that kind of person, aren’t you?”

Zuo Xingyu looked deeply into Liu Sisi’s eyes, a flash of admiration crossing his gaze.

“Hehe… Alright! Since you trust Zuo someone so much, I accept this task! I promise I will do my best to find Er Mao and San Mao and bring them back to you. Now, isn’t it time for you to tell me who you are looking for?”

“Actually, I have no idea who you’re looking for!”

Liu Sisi spread her hands open, finally telling the truth.

Zuo Xingyu’s face changed, and he asked through gritted teeth!

“You!… Are you playing me?”

Liu Sisi laughed and stood up: “However, I can tell you in detail about what happened on the way up Heilong Mountain and the people I met along the way, as well as what happened on the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. Whether you can find clues from that information is now up to you!”

Zuo Xingyu:

By the time Zuo Xingyu left the Di family on horseback, it was already dark. Di Yelei and the others had not returned yet.

Old Mr. Di, worried, slowly moved out of the courtyard with his crutch, looked out in the distance several times at the crossroads, but still saw no one, before returning in disappointment.

Liu Sisi was tutoring Ah-Juan and Ah-Min in their studies, supervising their handwriting and arithmetic. Her thoughts, however, flew far away, as she carefully recalled her conversation with Zuo Xingyu, wondering if she had missed anything.

It wasn’t until late in the night, when Ah-Juan’s elder brother came to pick them up, that Liu Sisi realized how much time had passed.

Looking at her Second Sister, who was quietly sewing shoes on one side, and Da Mao, who was sitting quietly without laughing or making noise, Liu Sisi gently touched Da Mao’s head: “Second Sister, today I asked Zuo Xingyu to help us find Er Mao and San Mao. Although Ye Lei is already looking for them, having an extra person help is always a good thing. I believe we should get some good news soon.”

“I know, I heard it all.”

The tone of Liu Zhi’er’s voice was very light, like talking about a stranger she didn’t know.

How much did she hear?

“You didn’t lower your voice when talking to him, and I was sitting at the doorway embroidering. How could I not hear?” Liu Zhi’er’s tone was as calm as ever.

“Second Sister!…”

Liu Sisi quickly grabbed her hand: “Second Sister, are you blaming me for telling him about your situation? He is a constable, even if I hadn’t told him today, he would have found out within two days…”

“I know! I know you’re doing it for my sake, to help me find Er Mao and San Mao.”

Liu Zhi’er interrupted her, then stood up: “It’s getting late, and Da Mao is tired. I’m taking Da Mao to rest, and you should go to sleep early too.”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Sisi to respond, she took Da Mao’s hand and led him into the room.

“Second Sister, Second…”

Liu Sisi felt a bit disheartened. Had her good intentions backfired again?

“Second Sister, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to find the children earlier. Being an orphan is really hard to bear…” Just like her past.

After going back to her room, Liu Zhi’er settled herself and Da Mao down and began to recall the past events.

Liu Sisi’s life was getting better and better now. Her brother-in-law at home spoiled and cared for her, putting her first and being concerned about her. His ex-wife had left a son and a daughter behind, but the two children were well-behaved, understanding, smart and clever, making people envious. There were parents-in-law at home, but the father-in-law never talked much, and although the mother-in-law was not easy to get along with, she was not her own flesh and blood. Now she was even pregnant…

How could she not be envious and jealous of such a perfect and happy life? It even brought out two points of resentment.

Why? Why did she alone get all the good things and all the bad things were left to herself?

And now she’s spreading gossip about her own affairs to outsiders, and it’s such a familiar person!

Where could she put her face?

But thinking about Sisi doing this in order to find Er Mao and San Mao, she felt that she was making a mountain out of a molehill and secretly blamed herself for being unreasonable.

After countless tossing and turning, it was almost dawn when she finally fell asleep.

Liu Sisi also slept lightly all night, and when she woke up in the morning, she got up as usual, but her stomach churned and she started to retch.

She vomited a puddle of sour water and, feeling weak in her hands and feet, had to crawl back to the head of the bed and fall asleep in a daze.

In her daze, a loud voice woke her up.

In the middle of the courtyard, Miao Cuihua shouted loudly: “Where is Sisi? I don’t come here for nothing, I’m here to see her for a special reason! How come she’s still not up? Is she in here? I’ll go look for her myself…”

Miao Cuihua went towards the other side, the original bedroom.

Anxious voice of Liu Zhi’er followed: “Why are you so unreasonable? Sisi is not here! Hey… I said! Hey! Why don’t you listen…”

In the midst of their scuffle, the voices of the two quickly approached the direction of the kitchen.

Liu Sisi struggled to get up, not yet fully dressed, when she saw the sturdy Miao Cuihua lift the curtain and come in. She saw Liu Sisi, who was poking her head out and looking around, and then smiled.

“Hey! Sisi, why are you so lazy? The day is already bright, and you’re still sleeping in!”

These words really made Liu Sisi feel both like laughing and crying, but considering Miao Cuihua’s personality, she just let it go.

“You’re here in my house today, is it just to discuss this matter with me?”

“Of course there’s something else. It’s because of my Skinny Monkey, that’s why I came to see you today specifically. It’s like, like…”

Seeing such a giant Miao Cuihua suddenly act coy really blinded people’s eyes.

“My Skinny Monkey… has been working at a bookstore in town for so long now! I think it’s almost the end of the year, isn’t it time for him to take a break and come home for a festive New Year?”

Liu Sisi covered her forehead and remembered!

It was almost the end of the year, and she had completely forgotten about it in her daze!
