Chapter 152: Chapter 150: Elderly Mr. Dis Choice and Di Xuans Ambition
Udted by BXNVEL.CMFather, what do you need Sisi for?
Liu Sisi asked softly.
Old Mr. Dis hand trembled for a long time before he managed to pull out a wallet from under his pillow, gesturing for Liu Sisi to take it.
This is the only money left for my Di family. Ive been carrying it with me to avoid being robbed, its not good to always draw attention. Today, Ill give this silver to you as a compensation for what Third Son didnt get when the family divided the property.
Old Mr. Dis breathing was somewhat irregular, and it was clear that he hadnt recovered from the sudden change.
Father, Sisi cant accept this cloth bag.
Liu Sisi quickly refused.
The original money in the old house was gone, and now Father was taking out the last bit of money for self-protection and giving it as compensation. How could she accept it?
Sisi! Youve seen the mess this family is in. Now I dont feel safe keeping the money anywhere, so Id rather give it to you. In the future! I dont know, maybe when Father gets old, you can use this money to bury my old bones
As Elderly Mr. Di spoke, he choked up and couldnt say anything.
Liu Sisi was also very sad. She took a few steps forward and gently pushed the cloth bag back into Elderly Mr. Dis hands.
Father, dont worry! Showing filial piety to our parents is what children should do. Ye Lei and I are young and can slowly earn more money without silver. You keep this money for self-protection, and if you need anything, just let us know.
As Liu Sisi spoke, she took out some prepared medicinal materials from her arms and handed them to Elderly Mr. Di.
Heres some gastrodia, codonopsis, and caterpillar fungus, not much, but it can help nourish Fathers body.
These medicinal materials were part of the education gift from the Gan Family.
Now, giving them to Elderly Mr. Di to nourish his body, they were all being used.
This
Old Mr. Di couldnt help it, and tears rolled down his cheeks. He tightly held the medicinal materials in his hand, unable to speak.
As she stepped out of the room, Liu Sisi saw Ms. Zhao standing at the doorway. Ignoring her evasive gaze, Liu jumped straight past her.
At the opening of the well, Di Yelei was whispering with Di Ruoning.
His eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and it was clear that he cared a lot about his little sister, and the two had a close relationship.
As for Di Ruonings attitude towards him, it was also very gentle, and her laughter came from the corner of the courtyard now and then, piercing Liu Sisis eyes.
Liu Sisi didnt say anything from the beginning to the end. Out of her female intuition, she always found a hint of subtle hostility from this seemingly gentle and sweet little sister.
But when she looked carefully, she found nothing.
Maybe she was overthinking it?
She frowned.
As the day was getting dark, Di Yelei took the time to bring the two children back from Guihuas house. As soon as the children arrived at the Di Family, they went straight to Liu Sisi, sticking close to her.
Liu Sisi helped cook the meal, and today, there were no surprises. The whole family enjoyed a happy meal together after a long time.
Liu Sisi looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and the baby chicks, rabbits, Ah-Huang, and the flowers at home hadnt been taken care of. It was time to go back.
She called Xuaner and Yinger, and then got up to leave and returned home.
Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, why dont you leave the nephew and niece with me tonight? Let them accompany their young aunt a little longer? If they get sleepy, theyre welcome to stay in the old house.
No, that wont do. Youre pregnant now, and it would be terrible if you accidentally hurt your belly. How can you squeeze in with a child? Without waiting for Liu Sisi to respond, Di Yelei immediately refused.
I remember that Third Brother never used to refuse Little Sisters requests
Di Ruonings smile gradually faded.
You! This is not an ordinary matter, whenever have I not agreed to your requests when I could?
There was a rare tenderness in Di Yeleis voice, which left Liu Sisi momentarily stunned.
Di Ruoning immediately chuckled: I knew it, youre the best Third Brother for Ruoning!
Its late today, why dont you stay here for a few more days? Ill go up to the mountain and hunt some more game for our meals.
Di Yelei patted his chest boldly, the perfect image of a good elder brother.
Pfft!
Di Ruoning laughed even more, Oh my, Third Brother! You are not like when we were young, when you provided for the whole family. Now you have a wife and children, where could you still indulge me like you did when we were kids? Third Sister-in-law, dont you agree?
While speaking, she suddenly turned and directed the topic at Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi blinked, glanced at the people around who were enjoying the show, and then smiled, Little Sister, you are a mother now too, how can you still be jealous of Xuaner and YingEr?
After saying that, without waiting for Di Ruoning to respond, she took the hands of the two children and said with a smile, Xuaner, YingEr, hurry up and say goodnight to your little aunt, so we can go home.
The two children also obediently called out in unison, Goodnight, little aunt.
Di Ruonings smile froze on her face.
The family said their goodbyes and happily went home.
Dad! Dad! Are you going hunting in the mountains tomorrow? Can you take Xuaner with you? Today, Xuaner heard Zhang Yun say that next time he goes hunting, Uncle Zhang will take him too.
Di Xuan happily jogged to Di Yeleis side, pestering him about hunting.
Zhang Yun was ten years old, and it was time for him to learn hunting skills.
You cant! Youre only seven years old, and your arm strength isnt enough, making you prone to injuries. At the earliest, you can go when youre eight. Besides, arent you supposed to be learning to read with Sisi? Are you planning to give up? Di Yelei joked.
I will never give up! In the future, I will definitely become like Eldest Uncle, leave Upper Village, and become a high-ranking official! Di Xuan clenched his small fists, his voice almost like a vow.
Liu Sisi couldnt help but laugh.
Mom, why doesnt little aunt like YingEr?
Being held by Liu Sisi, YingEr couldnt help but whisper into her ear.
Liu Sisi was taken aback, YingEr, how could you think that?
YingEr wrapped her small arms around Liu Sisis neck, rested her head on her shoulder, and shook her head, I dont know, anywayI just feel that little aunt doesnt like YingEr.
YingEr was still young, only four years old. When she said feel, she probably meant intuition, or maybe her first impression?
These poor two children, every time they come to the old house, they are always on edge and completely lose their liveliness.
Liu Sisi gently stroked YingErs head and patted her back, not saying anything.
Mom! What YingEr said is true! Little aunt really doesnt like YingEr, and she glares at me when no one else is looking!
YingEr raised her head stubbornly, pouted her small mouth, and looked hurt.
