Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family - Chapter 466: 466: Di Cheng’s Happy Event

Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Di Cheng’s Happy Event
Only after she had made the bed did she get up and moved behind Liu Sisi to help her undo her long hair and smooth it out carefully before excusing herself from the room.

That night, a weary Di Yelei dragged his legs home.

As soon as she heard the conversation between Old Cheng and Di Yelei outside, Liu Sisi was instantly awake! She hurriedly got dressed, headed to the kitchen to warm up his food.

Di Yelei had already gone to the bathing room. By the time he had cleaned up, Liu Sisi had already warmed up his meal.

“Ye Lei! You must be hungry, right? Hurry up and sit down to eat!”

On the other side, Da Niu and Er Niu also wolfed down their meals, clearly exhausted.

“Sisi, why are you still up? You go to sleep quickly, I can handle it here by myself.”

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat. He hardly took two bites before he began to doze off, clearly extremely tired.

Liu Sisi, who had been talking to him, looked at him holding the bamboo chopsticks motionless with a mouthful of food, and hurriedly woke him up: “Ye Lei! Ye Lei, wake up, wake up!”

“Mmm, Sisi?”

After being called several times, Di Yelei barely opened his eyes, glanced at Liu Sisi, and then buried his head and fell back asleep.

“Wake up! Wake up and eat!”

Liu Sisi was both amused and annoyed as she shook him awake again.

Di Yelei was roused and ate several more times before he finished one bowl of rice, then he went back to the room, fell asleep at the head of the bed and slept soundly.

He didn’t even take off his clothes!

Just how tired must he be to be in such a state?

Liu Sisi was helpless, angry and worried! Angry that he never knew when to slack off and made himself so tired. She was also worried for this straightforward man. Didn’t he know to rest on the dike?

She sturdily tugged at his waistband, pulling it open, then removed his coat. With a great effort, she managed to orient his large body that was lying horizontally. She was almost worn out herself!

He’s heavy as a dead dog!

Unexpectedly, although the man was extremely tired, he grumbled a word and stretched out his arm, pulling at random.

Before Liu Sisi could make a sound, he had pulled her down next to him. Immediately after, his long arms and legs pressed down, avoiding her stomach instinctively, trapping her entirely under his body as he continued to sleep soundly.

“Hey! Let go of me! Let go… um! You bastard!”

Liu Sisi tried to struggle, but she was unable to shake off his iron grip. In the end, she had no choice but to curl up in his arms and gradually fall asleep.

The next day, Di Yelei woke up early in the morning!

After waking up, he was clearly invigorated and seemed as if the worn-out man from the night before wasn’t him at all!

The breakfast was abundant. Liu Sisi directly steamed three large bowls of eggs, in addition to meat buns, vegetable buns, starch-steamed meat, and stewed meat that were always available at home. There were also indispensable vegetables, all served one by one.

Di Yelei was obviously extremely hungry. With a gusty pace, he quickly finished several bowls of food. It seemed as if the food disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Liu Sisi furrowed her brows, remaining silent. She silently walked to the stove to boil dozens more eggs.

Before leaving, she clearly packed them, gave them to him, Da Niu and Er Niu, each with a portion: “Don’t give all these eggs to others. People’s feelings depend on their presence. If you actually become ill or worn out, there will be no one left. Regardless of what you did before, everything will be gone in the end. Why bother, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes! My Sisi is always right!”

Di Yelei was wearing a cheerful smile.

Apparently, this man didn’t take anything she said to heart!

Liu Sisi was upset, and though she felt like pinching him, upon recalling how exhausted he seemed last night, she couldn’t go through with it.

Even though she was upset, she lifted her hand and pinched his ear: “Listen! If you dare to give away all the food again, I’ll have you answer for it! Got it?”

“Ouch! Sisi, it hurts… let go quickly!”

Di Yelei pretended to be in pain.

“‘Hurts’ my ass! I didn’t even use any strength!” Liu Sisi cursed, obviously exasperated.

Turning around to see Da Niu and Er Niu giggling at the scene, she glared at them, “You two, watch him. If he dares to distribute the eggs to others, tell me. If you dare to lie, you’ll get twenty lashes each when we get back and I will put you up for sale! Understand?”

Only then did the two sober up, replying seriously, “Yes, Madam!”

Once the three men left their mansion, Liu Sisi, too, couldn’t sit still. She made a trip to the blacksmith shop.

Surprisingly, the blacksmith shop hadn’t opened for business yet. Liu Sisi waited for a long time but there were no signs of activity in the shop. After some thought, she decided to walk towards the small alley where she had seen Shou Hou yesterday.

However, before she reached the mansion, she saw two figures standing in front of the mansion’s door.

Liu Sisi initially wanted to stop moving, but the man casually turned his head, spotting her. He was a young man who didn’t look much older, staring straight at her.

With no choice, Liu Sisi continued to move forward slowly, sheltering most of her body behind the paper umbrella she was holding.

As she approached, she started hearing their conversation.

“Believe me just this once, I won’t harm you. You won’t have a good outcome with him,” was the pleading advice coming from the man.

“No! It’s been so long. I’ve worked so hard just to get to today. I have already given my body to him, I will never give up, no matter what. I’m sure I can make it work.” was Tong’s firm response.

“Can’t you stop being foolish? Is that man worth your complete devotion? You…”

The man’s voice gradually faded away. Although Liu Sisi slowly made her way down the alley, the conversation was inaudible once she turned the corner.

Who is this man and what is the identity of that woman? Could it be an affair between Shou Hou and a married woman?

Liu Sisi’s mind was filled with question marks.

But all her conjectures were pointless being made here; it’d be better to head to the bookstore and have a look.

Moving on, Liu Sisi took a detour and headed towards the bookstore. The store door was already open, with Di Cheng and Shou Hou inside, thoroughly cleaning. Seeing Liu Sisi walk in, they both paused their work to greet her.

“Third Auntie, you’re here unusually early today. But that’s great timing — there’s something Cheng’er wants to discuss with you.” Di Cheng’s face started blushing slightly.

Seeing his expression at this moment, Liu Sisi felt that there must be some good news.

“Oh, just tell me straight up. As long as Third Auntie can handle it, she will definitely get it done for you!” Liu Sisi pat her chest, making a heartfelt promise.

“I, I yesterday… told my mother about that matter. My mom… she agreed.”
