Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 560: Chapter 560: The Thing I Regret Most!
“Fine, don’t say anything then! Hmm!”

Liu Sisi’s mind quickly turned.

She had to ask Nan Tianzong about the human skin mask. Does this mean he knows and is involved in such a secretive issue?

A lightning-like ray quickly lit up her mind, but it was hazy and crossed her mind quickly!

So quickly that she could not hold onto it, the thought quietly disappeared again.

She frowned while thinking hard, but her mind felt scattered. She couldn’t remember anything.

She only faintly felt that she missed something very important.

Zuo Xingyu seemed a bit helpless, but more of it was disappointment.

While looking at the increasingly unfamiliar face in front of him, his heart ached.

He quietly stood up to say goodbye.

Liu Sisi detained him for a while before letting him leave through the room door. She watched as he jumped on his horse and rode away.

He severely whipped the horse, and looked back at Liu Sisi, who was still under the eave speaking with Old Cheng. Bitterness continuously welled up in his heart.

He still remembers when he first met her, she was a little girl.

She was tilting her little head, wearing a pink dress, her twin pigtails tied up, and her large eyes full of cunning.

“Big brother, are you Zuo Xingyu? Are you engaged to my second sister?”

“No! I won’t allow it! Zuo Xingyu, I’m telling you, you are my fiancé, you cannot marry my second sister. Understand?”

“Why not? I just like you! I, Liu Sisi, always get what I want, why are there so many questions?”

Her frowns and smiles, the innocence in her every move captured his heart instantly.

Eventually, he was glad to learn that he was engaged to her! Even though he knew he would have to wait for her to grow up, he was willing to wait!

However, his father’s sudden death, and his unintentional discovery of Heilong Mountain disrupted everything!

His life deviated from its original trajectory. The powerful influence of the Li Sect was like a big blade hanging over his head! Although he understood that while it was dangerous, it also presented an opportunity!

As expected! He was assigned to Macheng County, and he solidified his position as the constable through his efforts.

However, he was not satisfied. How could he be content with being the constable of a small county?

His horizons broadened, his heart naturally broadened as well. At the same time, he understood the Li Sect more and more deeply!

He was constantly worried that the knife above his head would fall at any moment!

Therefore, he did not dare to get married and have children!

Because he liked her, he was even more reluctant to implicate her!

He hoped that she could be good, safe and sound, getting married and having children. Even if that meant she hated him, he was still content!

But why at this moment does his heart ache so much?

It was as if someone was using a blunt saw to slowly cut his heart, it hurt so much, every breath was painful.

He wanted to stay away from her!

But against his will, he was drawn to her.

Every moment of seeing her again was a torment to him!

She was like the candlelight of his life, and he turned into a moth, knowing it meant his destruction yet still rushing forward!

He suddenly pulled back his horse, causing the horse to neigh loudly as it reared on its hind legs in pain!

“Eek—”

Left Star hurriedly calmed the horse down. When it finally settled, he found himself near the same road where he first discovered the corpse of Big Mouth Li.

This was the place where he first saw Liu Sisi after her wedding.

All the complications started here!

In front of him slowly appeared an image of an innocent girl, her large eyes flashing as she curiously looked at him. Her eyes, clean and pure, were brighter and clearer than a glazed cup, instantly reaching the depths of his heart…

He slowly closed his eyes, his fists tightly clutching the horse’s reins, and his teeth grinding.

No! He, Zuo Xingyu, would never regret anything he did!

He will absolutely not regret it!

Never!

He let out a long howl!

When he opened his eyes again, his face had regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.

After sending off Zuo Xingyu, Liu Sisi went to the bookstore with Old Cheng.

The bookstore had been closed for a few days, and the main entrance was tightly shut at the moment, desolate and deserted.

Upon seeing Liu Sisi’s arrival, Di Cheng carefully removed a door panel and invited her in.

What surprised Liu Sisi was that besides Xiao Feng, the elderly Mr. Di was also present.

As soon as they brought Liu Sisi in, the two of them fell to their knees and respectfully kowtowed three times to Liu Sisi.

Liu Sisi was taken aback! She hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, “What are you doing? Get up, get up quickly!”

Di Cheng and Xiao Feng insisted on kowtowing three times before they stood up.

“Third Aunt, this is the last time Di Cheng will call you as such.”

Upon hearing Di Cheng’s words, Liu Sisi retracted the hand she had extended. She turned her head to look at the seated Elderly Mr. Di, a shadow crossing her eyes.

“Regardless of what you have to say, say it after you get up.”

Given Ms. Wang’s previous separation from the Di family, she wouldn’t find it strange if anything unusual happened at this moment!

However, Di Cheng just smiled: “Third Aunt knows well, Di Cheng has been close to Third Uncle since childhood, and my parents’ attitude towards me is evident to you both. As their child, I have no say in their decision to leave the Di family. However, I am here to clarify my stance.”

Liu Sisi didn’t speak, but her eyes flicked to Elderly Mr. Di.

Elderly Mr. Di didn’t say anything but nodded approvingly at Di Cheng.

“Cheng’er and grandfather have discussed this. From today, Cheng’er will be adopted into Third Uncle’s family. This way, even if we end up in the mines, Cheng’er would be able to share some responsibilities and alleviate some of Third Uncle’s burden. And there’s Xiao Feng…”

Speaking of this, Di Cheng turned around and looked at Xiao Feng beside him with a smile, gently holding her hand: “Xiao Feng will also take good care of Third Aunt, please rest assured!”

“Where did you get this idea from?”

Liu Sisi felt her tongue tie up in knots!

Adoption was typically considered in cases where someone didn’t have a son, but she had never heard of it happening in a situation like this.

However, she understood what Di Cheng meant. If Di Yelei were to abide by the imperial edict, he would be sent to some place of harsh cold or forced to labor in the mines. Xuan’er and YingEr were too young, and she herself was pregnant; such a journey would likely lead to a perilous outcome. However, if the couple Di Cheng and Xiao Feng joined them, they could help shoulder some of the burdens…

Unfortunately, she would not let Ye Lei come to any harm! But as for the couple before her…

Liu Sisi’s eyes flashed, and she solemnly said, “Cheng’er, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but this is deliberately throwing yourself into danger. Is it worth it?”
