Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 520: Troubles with the Honeymoon Suite
By dusk, Di Yelei had returned!

Da Niu and Er Niu were following right behind him.

After a few days of recuperation, the injuries of Da Niu and Er Niu had largely healed.

Initially, County Magistrate Su had planned on charging Di Yelei under false pretenses, but hadn’t expected him to forcefully escape from his deadly game.

After that, the sudden disappearance of the elite team became the last straw that broke the camels back of Xin Quan and County Magistrate Su! It startled the two into conspiring for quite a while, quickly sending a letter to Gongzhou on one hand, and preparing themselves on the other.

When Di Yelei reappeared, he realized that a man of Di Yelei’s ability was no longer something he could control.

Not to mention those who were suddenly following Di Yelei at all times, protecting him!

After several “accidents”, all were resolved by the guards, and instead, they had almost traced down to the two. Both were terrified and decided to refrain from action for a while, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

But things in the world are constantly changing, and humans can control very little of it!

What they didn’t know was that once they missed this opportunity to kill Di Yelei, there would never be another chance.

With the support of Nan Tianzong, Di Yelei became like a dragon swimming into the ocean, quickly finding out the details of County Magistrate Su and Xin Quan.

In just half a month, he had made his deployment, and everything was ready but the final piece.

Leaving the reins to Old Cheng casually, Di Yelei strode into the house.

“Sisi! Sisi, I’m back.”

Even before he entered the house, his voice had already made its way inside.

Liu Sisi lifted her head from the vanity box and waved at Di Yelei, who was coming in through the curtain.

“Ye Lei, come and help me look – which piece of jewelry should I choose?”

Di Yelei casually removed the cloak from his shoulders and handed it to Ms. Gao, only then did he walk over to Liu Sisi’s side, jesting in a good mood.

“Why are you still thinking about dressing up so late? Is there something going on?”

“What are you thinking about! I’m choosing two things to give to Cheng’er as wedding gifts!”

Liu Sisi gave him a glance: “Do you even know what your second sister-in-law has done – none of it seems human!”

“What happened? From your tone, did she cause you some trouble again?”

Di Yelei sat down beside Liu Sisi with an experienced look on his face. He casually stretched out his hand and held her waist tight.

“You really do understand her!”

Liu Sisi casually put down the hairpin in her hand and sighed, “This time, it isn’t just a minor annoyance, it’s downright unreliable. I’ve never seen a mother so partial!”

After saying this, she then relayed the whole story.

“Originally I thought, at most it would be a run-down house. I even said that you and Da Niu and Er Niu could help clean it up a bit, to make it somewhat presentable. But I never expected that she could take it to such an extreme. In our small little town, could the blacksmith not know that the original owner of the house died of smallpox?”

In her previous life, smallpox could be prevented, but here, smallpox was more powerful than a tiger! It was truly terrifying to even mention it.

Ms. Wang had actually bought a house like this!

A vein on Di Yelei’s face throbbed: “Such a short-sighted woman!”

While the two were talking, the voice of Di Cheng and elderly Mr. Di could be heard from outside the door. Judging from their excited tone, Di Cheng probably had no clue about this incident.

“You see! I, as his third aunt, can’t bring myself to break the news to him. You should be the one to tell him the truth.”

Liu Sisi gave Di Yelei a glare, and continued rummaging through the vanity box.

Di Yelei quickly took two steps, reaching the windowsill and looking outside, upon hearing Di Cheng’s cheery voice, he hesitantly withdrew his step that was about to cross the threshold.

He turned around, looking at Liu Sisi deliberately turning her back towards him, gritted his teeth, and finally stepped out anyways.

Not long after, the sound of Di Yelei conversing with Di Cheng could be heard.

Liu Sisi angrily hit her makeup box and threw her jewelry into it resentfully.

She decided to wait, she would give them out after the wedding!

It wasn’t her, the third aunt-in-law, being stingy, but she had to be careful of Ms. Wang!

Outside, Di Cheng was sitting below them with a face full of happiness.

Di Yelei, on the other hand, was sitting opposite Di Cheng.

“Third Uncle! Cheng’er has even gone so far as to bring the ladder from the bookstore. It might come in handy later! And, I’ve been thinking about replacing the window flower patterns too. Furthermore…”

When Liu Sisi came out, she saw this harmonious scene.

As soon as Di Cheng saw Liu Sisi, he quickly rose to his feet: “Third Aunt.”

“Cheng’er, sit down first.”

Liu Sisi, not wanting to give anyone any grounds for criticism, greeted Elderly Mr. Di with a smiling countenance: “Sisi has heard the sound of Father’s laughter from afar and came specially to share in the joy.”

“Sit, Sisi, sit first. You will have to work hard for Cheng’er’s wedding.”

Elderly Mr. Di was obviously very happy!

Di Cheng was the first of his grandchildren to get married. Although they were just preparing for the marriage proposal, how could one not be happy?

“Yes, father.”

Liu Sisi naturally complied, took the opportunity to glance at Di Yelei.

Di Yelei’s gaze was full of hesitation and he couldn’t bear to speak. Liu Sisi gave him a stare, but Di Yelei lowered his head and deliberately avoided her gaze.

The interactions between the two were interpreted very differently by Ms. Zhao, who was watching from the sidelines.

She immediately turned her eyes, showing a look of affection.

“Di Cheng! Your Third Uncle is now a sub-captain, which is the result of the good deeds our Di ancestors have accumulated. Don’t worry, he doesn’t lack this bit of window paper-cuts and money. The one that ought to be changed is better than saving it, it’s for the things you will use in your wedding.”

Ever since Ms. Zhao returned to the small town with Elderly Mr. Di, she had changed, becoming as quiet as a sleeping kitten.

Liu Sisi didn’t mind adding another pair of chopsticks, so long as they didn’t make trouble. As for food and clothes, she wouldn’t shortchange them.

But now, Ms. Zhao’s self-satisfied words made Liu Sisi deeply realize what the saying ‘It’s hard to change the character’ means!

This, yes yes…”

Di Cheng muttered, looking at Third Uncle and Third Aunt, then looking at his grandmother, he kept his head down without speaking.

Liu Sisi, on the other hand, laughed: “Alright! Since your Third Uncle doesn’t want to be the villain, I’ll be the one to talk!”

“Cough cough! Sisi, it’s better if I speak.”

Di Yelei’s face seemed somewhat feverish, as he stood up from his seat: “Cheng’er, this matter is Third Uncle’s fault. I should have thought about it earlier, but it has come to this point…sigh!”

Color drained from Di Cheng’s face completely, his smile frozen there, he was speechless for quite a while.

“Third Uncle, Third Aunt…”
