Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

It had been a long time since she had seen the other party bouncing in front of her, and she had almost forgotten the existence of this character.

“Ye Lei, let’s go! We’ll go to the alley over there and wait for Xuan’er and the others to come out.”

Liu Sisi said indifferently, and turned to take the two children’s hands, ready to leave.

“Stop! Liu Sisi, you gossiping woman who only speaks ill of others, do you feel guilty now that the businessman is here?” Zhang Shixin’s anger was already burning, and her actions even more provoked his nerves. His rage suddenly erupted.

Liu Sisi stopped in her tracks and looked back at him, then chuckled: “Don’t think that just because you are a petty person, everyone in this world is like you and likes to be petty. As for people like you, one glance is enough to dirty my eyes. Who would be interested in speaking ill of you?”

“Don’t deny it, Liu Sisi, let me tell you! Don’t think that by telling my wrongdoings to your father-in-law, you can get away with it!”

Zhang Shixin’s face showed a smug expression: “I heard that you thought you could get benefits by entering Madam Gan Senior’s name, so you followed the carriage entering the capital for dozens of miles, but you didn’t get any benefits. To say that you have no shame, Liu Sisi, you must be the first!”

These words made both Liu Sisi and Di Yelei’s faces ugly.

At the beginning, they did chase the carriage, but it was to send off Gan Miaoruo and give her some gifts. However, their intention was misunderstood as asking for things. They did ride for a distance, but to say they chased for dozens of miles would mean they had left the boundary of Macheng County. That would be too exaggerated, right?

“Speaking of shamelessness, Zhang Shixin, if you were to claim second place, I’m afraid no one would dare to claim first.”

Liu Sisi laughed twice: “Zhang Shixin, if you have anger in your heart, it’s best to vent it on your concubines. This sacred land of Confucius is not the place for you to spout nonsense! It’s not a place where you can call a few thugs to fight!”

As the words became more and more stiff, Di Yelei and Zhang Peng stood to the left and right of Liu Sisi, staring intently at Zhang Shixin with their fists clenched, wishing they could swing them directly.

Zhang Shixin looked even more arrogant, his face full of contempt as he stared at the group.

“In this tiny Macheng County, there’s no one that I, Zhang Shixin, want to hit who can escape! Hmph! Liu Sisi, just a short time apart, and you have two men left and right, really capable! No wonder you’re like this…”

Spit!

Before his words were finished, a fist had landed on his chin. Di Yelei and Zhang Peng didn’t hesitate. Years of hunting had resulted in a tacit cooperation between the two, who swung their fists left and right, beating Zhang Shixin without giving him a chance to cry out in pain.

Even the little boy Zhang Chengping, who was quietly standing beside him watching the excitement, shivered all over, and a stain of yellow quickly spread between his feet.

After a while, he managed to scream: “Dad! ”

This scream alarmed the people who were in the house and those who were rushing to register, and they all ran towards the place where the scream came from.

“What happened? What is happening? This school is a sacred place, not a place for idle people to make trouble!”

Teacher Meng scolded as he walked out from the house and saw Zhang Chengping standing still in a daze.

“Who was screaming just now? Was it you? Oh… oh, whose child is this? You’re so old and still standing there peeing, hurry up and take him home, don’t even think about dirtying our village school!”

Zhang Chengping had been pampered since childhood and had never heard such harsh words before.

When he was frightened by Teacher Meng’s words, he immediately pouted and started crying loudly.

The crying made Teacher Meng dig in his ears and frown repeatedly.

“We don’t know whose child this is, so he must belong to their family?”

Di Yelei, who was standing beside them, had a look of innocence as he pointed at the ground.

Curious, Mr. Meng took a few steps forward and saw a figure half-crouched at the edge of the flower stand. Due to the angle of his previous position, the figure against the edge of the flower stand had been blocked from his view.

“What’s going on? This is…” Mr. Meng hesitated to proceed.

Liu Sisi hurriedly chimed in: “Ah! I know what happened! Just now, he suddenly went berserk and rushed in from the main entrance, roaring at us. Then he seemed to have fallen ill and collapsed on the ground, which seems quite severe. The medical bills might cost quite a bit…”

Upon hearing about the need for medical expenses, Mr. Meng hurriedly backed away and flicked the dust off his sleeves.

“Since he is ill, contact his family, and have him taken home immediately. Is he trying to extort money by lying on the ground in this freezing cold weather?”

“Aren’t his family members already crying?”

Zhang Peng pointed at Zhang Chengping with resignation, who was still crying incessantly.

Zhang Chengping was indeed terrified by the crowd and couldn’t care about anything else. Turning his head away from Zhang Shixin, he sprinted out of the main entrance.

“This! This… can’t be taught at all!”

Mr. Meng pointed at the fleeing Zhang Chengping with a pained expression, then shook his head and reentered the house.

Di Yelei and the others secretly exchanged glances and snickered quietly.

Liu Sisi looked down at the still unconscious Zhang Shixin, recalling his boastful proclamation: “If I see you again, I’ll beat you every time!”

Well, now it has come true, right?

It’s just that the roles of the attacker and the attacked have switched – they simply changed roles. Who knows what kind of face he’ll have when he wakes up!

“Dad! Mom! We’re out!”

Zhang Yun and Di Xuan came out with reluctant expressions.

“Xuan’er, Yun’er, you are out? What’s the result? Did you pass the assessment?” Di Yelei hurriedly asked, his face full of hope.

The two children looked at each other, and then hung their heads in silence.

“This is… did you fail?” Liu Sisi said in surprise.

Was there something wrong with her own tutoring? Did the children here not learn what she taught?

Liu Sisi was unsure now.

“Father, mother, it’s my fault. I let you down,” Di Xuan said, his face dejected, his head hung almost to his chest.

It would be a lie to say they weren’t disappointed. However, seeing the two dejected children, Liu Sisi kept her extra words to herself.

She gently stroked Xuan’er’s head: “This assessment doesn’t matter. If you fail, fail! You are still young; there will be plenty of opportunities to try again. We’ll fight again next year!”
